I'm not really sure how TCP/IP communication works, so please put in notes.
I have the Assigned IP, Gateway, Subnet, DNS, and port information...just will need to know what is necessary and where to put it. I can set a password in the hardware, but right now it is blank. Perhaps I will be setting a password, so if it's not a trouble, show how that works too.
HyperTerminal works when I configure the program for TCP/IP and put in the correct information. I have no idea where to find out what protocol the machine uses.
To communicate with the Inovonics 730 using HyperTerminal just send commands like:
TEXT=Hello World
RT=More Text
Being that I haven't figured out how to use QM and TCP/IP Right, I am using "SendKey" function to send each individual character to the HyperTerminal window...no way to use setwintext or anything that I could figure out. It works, but I don't feel like it is as stable as I would like it to be, occasionally it will miss a character. Is there anyway to send command line messages through QM to hyperterminal to control a specific connection?
How does QM net work? I also would like to see if the automation program could communicate directly with QM using it's built in TCP/IP connection.
