I’m trying to send a TCP request to a device via the terminal in MacOS but can’t figure out how to do so. Based on my research, it appears the NC command should be able to handle TCP requests. The command I’m trying to send follows.

IP: 192.168.1.104
Port: 4998
Body: "sendir,1:1,1,38000,1,1,170,170,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,63,20,20,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,63,20,1798"

I would greatly appreciate any help… 😀

Thanks so much. I’ll play with it and see if I can’t get it working… 😀
