Hi All,
As I said above I am fairly new to this, but I am trying to control a Marantz av receiver using the TCP/IP Client. After sending the connect string all I get back is the following message.
Notice:TCP Client Slot-08.IP-ID-25: Unable to connect to TCP server (67.215.65.132\0, status = -257
Now the IP address that is listed is not the one that I have entered into the Marantz or the IP Client module so im thinking that it must be an issue with DNS. I have tried both the DNS server on my modem and a third party one.
Any body know what staus = -257 means or come across this problem before.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Is the processor on the same local network as the receiver? The IP address shown is not a local IP?
If you're trying to control something on a remote network, you a) should probably reconsider, and b) need to make sure port forwarding is configured properly.

67.215.65.132 is opendns.com. It looks like you typed the IP address into the TCP-Client symbol incorrectly. On Mon, 20 May 2013 17:34:19 -0000, "avautobot1" <a.hutchison@...> wrote: Hi All,

It is on a local network. I thaught that that was an external ip address so that's what made me think it was to do with dns.
thanks though

It's just a generic connection failure. Verify that the port you want to connect to is open, using a port scanner or similar tool. On Mon, 20 May 2013 21:55:16 -0000, "avautobot1" <a.hutchison@...> wrote:

If the only thing you're doing is putting a 1 on the enable of the TCP/IP client and shooting serials off to it, you're getting ahead of yourself.
Monitor the analog output of the TCP/IP Client symbol. Do not send anything to the tx$ input UNLESS that value is 2.
I'm assuming you've verified the port number that you entered on the TCP/IP symbol in programming mode?
Also, get the silly stuff out of the way - connect to your processor with the command line tool and try "PING 192.168.1.179". If that fails, you've got issues aside from your SIMPL program...

Also, this is one of those messages that you seemingly can't get a straight answer out of tech support on.
Near as I can tell, the -257 error is what you get if you try sending serial data to a TCP/IP client that isn't currently connected. I haven't been bored enough to verify that on my own - wish T.S. or documentation could just say as much.

Yeah it would be nice if the documentation said so. thanks for the help . I think I will just take the av receiver back tot he shop and try there. If that works it must be something on that network.
