Greetings, all.
I’ve recently taken delivery of a TS 2 and have been very diligent in configuration and set up. I’m fairly experienced with network appliances but admit this is my first Digi product / serial interface.
My goal is to integrate the TS 2 into my home automation system. My current set up includes several PC’s, AVR’s, Insteon devices, Somfy RTS shades, an ISY-99i and a couple of Global Cache iTach IP2IR’s. Everything’s working pretty smoothly.
Enter the Portserver. I’m looking to use it for serial control of an Onkyo receiver (i.e. TX-SR707) and eventually a Somfy serial-to-RTS controller.
My current set up looks like this:
PC -> [Network] -> PortServer -> Receiver
I want to be able to send TCP messages from the PC (actually from multiple devices on the network) to the Portserver and have it control the receiver over serial port 1.
My TS 2 is running firmware dated 04/11/2011 – which I believe to be the most recent version. I’ve logged into the device, created a static IP and configured port 1 to match the specifications of the Onkyo receiver.
However, at this point, I’m stumped. The TS2 doesn’t seem to be communicating with the receiver at all. I send TCP messages to the PortServer but get no response. I’m also unable to tell if the Onkyo and the PortServer are talking.
How do you recommend I diagnose / troubleshoot this set up?
The 2008 version of the TS user guide (i.e. the most recent I could find) mentioned setting a profile for TCP Sockets. I don’t see this option available anywhere in the web interface of my TS 2. This leads me to believe either the user documentation is out of date or my TS 2’s web interface isn’t up to date.
I’m at a loss. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
