Hi :)

4998 is the IR port. 4999 and above are the serial ports.

In the GUI editor did you set up a new AV & Custom Systems Driver TCP/IP driver?

We use this routinely to send and receive commands to serial devices via a Global Cache IP2SL. For serial devices via GC, I don't use the the GC driver at all, as it is not necessary and the AV & Custom Systems driver gives more flexibility.

Have you setup the GC IP2SL to have multiple connections in iHelp?

Hi Mkie

Probably as you are getting into the extended ascii characters (http://ascii-code.com/), and it depends on what is on your machine if they are the latin ones or not

I suggest using receive_data, and convert from the decimal to hex using something like this:

      IR.Log("Receive Raw Data: " + data);
      // Data received: 
      for (var i=0;  i < data.length; i++){
            data[i] = this.dec2hex(data[i]).toString();                            
      } //for 
      //Converted data:
      IR.Log("Receive Converted Data: " + data);

The following may come in handy:

            };
            return this;
        };
        return this;
