Problems sending the right commands - What does actually get sent out?

Hello.

I'm having a bit of trouble sending the correct commands from CF
iViewer to my controller unit.

To give you the best background information, I've provided my setup
for the test that I'm working on:

System properties:

My Controller device:
IP: 192.168.1.160
Port: 10023 (standard port for send/receive commands)
TCP
Maintain constant connection: Yes
Heartbeat managed by system: Yes
Rx:
Tx:
EOM:
Connection Join: 0
Startup Comand: "None"

Within this testproject I've made 4 buttons with 4 differenent
commands:

"Testcode1" has a command value: new_state\x0A777\x0A1\x0D

"Testcode2" has a command value: new_state 777 1\x0D

"Testcode3" has a command value: 777

"Testcode4" has a command value: 777\x0D

If I simulate a command directly from the included software or telnet,
for example a button with 2 states. "on" and "off" . This is what It
looks like in telnet:

new_state 777 1 ("enter") (= switch lamp on – only "enter if typed in
telnet)
(then it gives the feedback: "end 777"

new_state 777 0 ("enter") (=switch lamp off - only "enter if typed
in telnet)
(then it gives the feedback "end 777"

I can see on my controller that it receives "something" when pushing
the buttons from iViewer/iPhone. (the LED on my controller indicates
that something is happening.) but I can't see anything happening in
telnet, or in the software that came with the controller unit.

I did another test, linking my light switch button to also send an IR
signal to my TV at the same changing the channel up and down as the
lights went on and off :p . This IR worked fine when I sent it from
the software, but nothing happened (at all) from iViewer…

Abot to get really frustrated now. Feel like I've tried everything.
I'm no programming guru, so don't blame me if this is "common sense"
I would appretiate any guide, or help in the right direction…

1:
Do I write my "command values" correctly? If not, what could be wrong?

2:
Is there any way I can see the commands that are sent? (i.e. a debug
window?)

I've added some information from the Controller unit that I think
might be of relevance. (Taken from the manufactures manual)

Telnet
The controller has a telnet server for interpreting commands – connect
to controller IP address. The commands are the same as when connecting
to the controller through port 10023 as a master program using the
server protocol (explained below), except ^A and ^B are omitted at the
start and end.

Server Protocol:
Send/receive socket port=10023

Command stream:
Start allways with ^A, end with ^B, space between parameters, max 32
parameters.
Command names are not case sensitive.

The following escape sequences are recognized:
\\ is replaced with single \
\r is replaced with Carriage Return
\n is replaced with New Line
\" is replaced with single "
\t is replaced with TAB
\NNN is replaced with character with octal number NNN
\xNN is replaced with character with hex number NN
\ss is replaced with checksum at this position in string. The checksum
is one byte, is initially zero and is from start of string.
\sz is replaced with checksum=(256 - (sum&0xff)) at this position in
string. The checksum is one byte, is initially zero and is from start
of string. This is used when sum of all characters including check sum
shall be zero.
\sx is replaced with checksum as XOR sum at this position in string.
The checksum is one byte, is initially zero and is from start of
string.
\sy is replaced with checksum as inverted XOR sum at this position in
string. The checksum is one byte, is initially zero and is from start
of string.
\sc is replaced with checksum as CRC16 sum at this position in string.
The checksum is two bytes, is initially zero and is from start of
string.
If character NULL is placed in the string (i.e. \000), this will
normally terminate the string except when string is sent to RS232
object in binary mode. The character will be replaced with NULL in the
RS232 driver.
