Maybe I read it wrong, but I assumed the device was connected to the cp2's IR port when controlling it via viewport ?

I can think of four possible things that could be causing your problem:
1) The TVOne may require the RTS/CTS lines to be active. When using one way serial, those lines will be low. Possibly connecting pins 7 and 8 together on the TVOne side may get it to work.
2) Likewise, the RVOne may be using some of the other com lines to power the RS232 interface -- so when you use one way serial via IR ports, those voltages will be missing and the RS232 interface loses power.
3) When using one way serial via IR ports, the RS232 lines are non standard (probably something like 0 to +5V). Real RS232 levels are something like -5V to +5V or greater.
4) I notice on some Crestron products, the one way serial via IR ports have some bugs in them. In particular, I've seen the CNX-RMC change the order of the data coming out even thou Simpl debugger reports the correct order. For example, sending "ON" may actually send "NO" instead. Suggest you connect your laptop to the one way serial output and see what is actually being sent.
Good luck,
Steve

I can control the device just fine via viewport directly from my computer, but cannot seem to get it to work via an IR port as serial on a CP2e.
I've tried replacing the driver in the program with no change, I can see the command being sent from Crestron when I hook the port into my PC via hyperterminal. Buad rate and associated data is correct in the program.
I've tried grounding Pin 2 on the scaler to Ground with no love either (and tried using signal to pin 2 as well for a test)
Any ideas why I can control it fine via a console program and not a one way IR serial port?
