No no, i tried being careful when saying that but I guess it's still hard to differentiate.
Anyways, that's all that the remote knobs do, they don't make volume go UP like regular volume knobs are supposed to do, it actually limits it only (most of them). You can tell whenever you leave it at max volume and unplug it and plug it back in to the amp itself, no volume change. It's just really there to lower it down at will, or to be respectful (like entering a neighborhood at night or something).
Trust me, ethernet cat5 cabling is 10x easier, and I don't really like doing it as it is. Telephone cable just sucks completely.
