var Xbox = require('xbox-on'); // Require module
var xbox = new Xbox(ipAddress, liveDeviceId); // Create new xbox

Since dgrams are effectively synchronous and don't rely on a response, we can usually just fire them off and not worry
about the callbacks. However, there are cases where you might want to wait until the final packet is sent before
proceeding. In this case, you might want to pass the waitForCallback
option to the powerOn
call to ensure that all
requests are sent before continuing. The CLI is an obvious use case for this, as terminating prior to callback wouldn't
send any packets at all!
