Is iConnectivity Sysex passed through the MIO interface?
I have a Mio10.
I also have a MIDI2+ connected to the USB HOST jack of the mio10.
I can send the standard iConnectivity sysex commands (ex, GetDevice or GetMIDIPortInfo) to configure the mio10 without any issues from a PC. However, it does not seem that those commands are "passed through" the mio10 to the downstream (hosted) MIDI2+ device. When sending a GetDevice message (PID and SNUM both 0, which should discover all iConnectivity products in the network), I get the expected RetDevice response from the mio10, but the MIDI2+ does not seem to respond. Even if I map the PC's port to one of the input ports of the MIDI2+ (and an associated return path) and verify no sysex filtering is enabled, I still do not seem to ever get a RetDevice message from the MIDI2+. The MIDI2+ is operating correctly, as it will respond with a RetDevice message if I connected it directly to the PC (iConfig works, etc).
Is this expected behavior or have I made an error somewhere?
If this is expected behavior, then does that mean that I must attach all of my iConnectivity devices directly to a PC in order to manage them?

I haven't tested DIN ports and RTP-MIDI(the preferred way to cascade many Mio units together for a large MIDI network) but I will get around to that.
Commanding the MioXL itself is still an issue (see my forum post here: https://forums.iconnectivity.com/index.php?p=/discussion/2739/mioxl-common-system-exclusive-commands-manual-accurate ) so hopefully we'll get some feedback from iConnectivity regarding the sysex command format for the X-series.
