I have noticed the same thing with the one character per line, I just figured it was a "feature" of debugger. My old company did the 150's on one job that I had nothing to do with and crestron ended up sending a team out to deal with the problems. But that was back when the 150's were first released.
Wow, just turn off getting data back. Nice solution. You might as well switch to ir and do a URC remote. But a toaster might be some type of code violation with 110ac over cat6. :)

You can see it in Debugger, instead of getting the responses in chunks,
they show up on one character per line. Something's weird about the timing
-- it doesn't get "chunked" like it does with a built-in serial port. Not
an issue as long as you're gathering the data properly, just makes it
annoying to read incoming responses in Debugger. I assume it has something
to do with tunneling the serial data over IP and how it gets packetized,
but I don't really know how the chunking works for built-in serial ports,
so I have no idea.
I reported the long-RX-truncation issue and TB recommended turning off
polling as a possible fix. Umm... why yes, the problem does go away if I
stop asking the projector to send me any data. I could also just unplug
it, or replace it with a toaster. Those are possible fixes as well...
Last case update was May 24th last year when it was "passed to engineering
for investigation".

I was there for the long responses fun, and never heard anything back
(except the auto-reply) from TB on my "known issues" submission. (I
now have two that have never gotten a real response. I've decided not
to disturb them, just look at them occasionally. I'm a collector ;-)
One byte per logic wave? Haven't seen or heard that one... Details?

RMCs like to truncate long (50+ bytes) responses (ie from NEC projectors),

corrupt anything. Haven't used a 150 yet, though.

I've got a half dozen assorted projectors serially-controlled through
RMC-150-S's. I am getting garbled Rx from the PJ's often enough that
I've started calculating/comparing the checksums of my poll responses.
I've never had to do that before.
The serial cables are the same ones we use everywhere, the projectors
as well. The only thing in common is room controllers. DM-tool says
the links is good, ethernet over the same RMCs is problem free, serial
Tx appears to be perfect.
The error rate is too low and the consequences are too minor to spend
much time trouble-shooting, but it still bugs me.
Seen similar?
