Using Hercules HW to request volume of Integra Onkyo over TCP/IP

install the following programs

[Link: hw-group.com]
http://www.wireshark.org/

1) enable control on the integra/onkyo
a) go to hardware in setup menu
b) go to network
c) go to control and enable
d) get the IP address of your receiver

2) wireshark
a) open up wireshark and select the device you are using to connect to your network.("start capture on interface...")
b) create a new filter by clicking Filter button in upper left corner
c) click "New" in the new window that opens
d) Filtername ="TCP 60128 Filter" Filter string ="tcp.port == 60128"

3) in Hercules HW go to TCP Client in Module IP enter IP address in port enter 60128. If successful it should say "Connected to ***.***.*.* "

4) in Hercules HW below send paste this command and click hex then send.

49 53 43 50 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 00 21 31 4D 56 4C 51 53 54 4E 0D

5) It should now return the volume of the receiver.

To make sure it is transmitting correctly look in wireshark and you should see source and destination communication matching what was sent in Hercules. This is helpful to see if you maybe did an incorrect hex conversion.

using the table I linked to before you can convert the ASCII to hex for your commands.

49 = I
53 = S
43 = C
50 = P
etc.

That should get you started let me know if you have any question. Also there might be an easier way to mix ASCII and hex in hercules I am not that familiar with the program.
