communicate with Denon receiver via TCP/IP

JOHNBONZ

I am trying to connect to my Denon receiver via TCP/IP. I can control Denon using Hypertermial, by entering IP address, and it uses port 23 and I enter a simple Denon command PWON, and unit turns on.

Now when I try to get AMX to comminicate, it doesnt work.
Here is my open:
dvIP_Denon = 0:3:0;
TCP_IP=1
IP_CLIENT_OPEN(dvIP_Denon.PORT,'192.168.1.9',80,TCP_IP);

here is feedback:
any ideas?

Port 23

Why don't you still use port 23 in your declaration ?
IP_CLIENT_OPEN(dvIP_Denon.PORT,'192.168.1.9',23,TC P_IP);
should work fine
Be careful you have to set up your amplifier in order the NIC card is always on even when the amplifier is off.

I did try that, IP_CLIENT_OPEN(dvIP_Denon.PORT,'192.168.1.9',23,1) and I got this message

Line 42 (16:06:15):: ***************************************
Line 52 (16:06:15):: IPSocketManConnectTask - Connection Refused

Line 57 (16:06:15):: nIPPort=8000

If I can communicate with Denon via Hyper Termional, port 23, then I should be able to communicate from AMX to Denon using above IP_CLIENT_OPEN, does the Controller have to be able to have port 23 turned on somehow? Notice the connection refused error

update

it worked , when I tri
ed to put port 23 in the IP_CLIENT_OPEN(dvIP_Denon.PORT,'192.168.1.9',23,1);, i didnt realize I already had a Hyper Terminal sesssion going so it refused connectiuon. When I closed Hyperterminal, it then worked.

thanks

Try this to see what kind of IP connection error your are facing:
data_event[dvIP_Denon]
{
online: send_string 0, "'Denon is connected'"
offline: send_string 0, "'Denon is disconnected'"
onerror: send_string 0, "'Error N:',data.number"
}
It may help, moreover do you try to keep your IP connection open ?

Great, didn't see your last post.
