Yes, that requires the RCX to receive.  What I am looking for is a function
which is much like the  "is RCX in view" in the direct mode.   This function
allows the IR tower to detect any RCX in range, even the RCX is in in idle
state, but just on, ....

   Not sure what you mean here. You could certainly program
some RCX's to "ping"
each other to determine if they are in mutual IR range. RCX-A
sends out a message & listens for a reply, while any other
RCX that "sees" such a message immediately replies with a
specified message of its own.
