CBUS Light tower commands failed to execute from Linux

we encountered an issue where commands from Linux servers were failing to execute when supporting the CBUS Light Tower device.
Name: CBUS Light tower
model: CNI2 Mk2 Light Tower4 model
Vendor: CLIPSAL



linux terminal) through the nc session tried to send following commands to lights on



Lights on command in nc session- "\0530002230C0B9g" - failed to execute. - I tried sending the same message to a another machine to see what is received on the other side. the hexadecimal observed for this command observed in sample app as ("5c 30 35 33 30 30 30 32 32 33 30 43 30 42 39 67 0a") - the command usage as "nc <ipaddress> <port>". In the nc session extra "0a" line feed is sent.



Lights on command on terminal - `printf "\\\0530002230C0B9g" | nc <ipaddress> <port>` - the hexadecimal observed for this command in sample app as ("5c 30 35 33 30 30 30 32 32 33 30 43 30 42 39 67")



The command output no difference observed between windows and linux but failed to execute command.

Thanks & Regards,

Do you really mean to send on application 30? The standard lighting application is 38.
I suggest you run the Cbus diagnostic utility on the same CNI and see if the load responds to the same command.

 

Howdy I'm assisting Raju, have run the Diagnostic Utility as suggested. The Application Number is 48 and the Group Number for testing is 48 the hexadecimal is 30. The commands check out ok with Diagnostic tool and Windows Telnet session, but as stated above we do the same from a linux server, and nothing happens, with no response. Any help is appreciated.

 

Does it need the line feed? i.e. printf "\\\0530002230C0B9g\n"
