Re: Video for RS232 or any relevant documentation-- What am I doing wrong?

The GC-100 Serial ports operate on their own TCP ports (4999 and
5000). You need to create a new 'system' in the system manager for
each serial port, and add the commands to that system that you wish to
send to your Denon unit.

The feedback also should be something like PW(.*)\x0D, then the
captured value would be ON or OFF I believe (not familiar with the
protocol enough, so don't quote me on this). Then for the capture
group settings, set it to a digital join, set the 'off value' to
"OFF" (without quotes) and the 'on value' to "ON". Then the digital
join you assign to the capture group will go active when PWON is
received, and inactive when PWOFF is received.
