So the 'correct' alias for this device should be eg.: usb:v0545p800Dd030Adc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* right?
Given this new info... what if _lo is 0x030a and _hi is 0x030f? How would the alias look like? Or worse, what if _lo is 0x030a and _hi is 0x040a?
Would these be correct? usb:v0545p800Dd030[A-F]dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* usb:v0545p800Dd0[30A-40A]dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
