Strings from Device in Terminal or Telnet

Is it possible to send a string to a device in either Telnet or Terminal and see it's response? How do you do it?

    Yes, it's possible to send a string to a device in telnet, but I believe the only strings you will see in telnet are those sent to device 0. If you want to see a device's responses in telnet, you probably need to put some code in the string handler of a data event to send the returning string to device 0.

    You can try the REDIRECT_STRING command. I've tried it without success.
  • If you don't need to do it in Terminal or Telnet, you can do it in Netlinx Studio. Click on Diagnostics->Control a Device. You can monitor in Notifications/Diagnostics.

    As far as I know you still can't see strings sent or received from IP devices. It's been on the request list for a long, long, long time.

    The diagnostics method will work just fine. Thanks, everyone!
