CONNECT TO homeLAN DEVICEs W. MAC/IP
« Thread started on: Oct 25th, 2011, 5:32pm »
I have a device with a MAC address and , in my home network it has got a fixed IP 10.11.12.2. I know -according to device manual - that a command like "READTIME" into that device should activate it such that it responses like"25-OCT-2011, 20.32" now
I have searched discussions and bbc materials and have not found examples on that kind of programs.
Is there some BBC library routine that can be used here to extablish a connection to LAN addresses like 10.11.12.2 -and then allow a sending of a command like above text message to that device and even wait for the answer.
Thank you very much on any example or link on this area of lan socket programming

Yes, the SOCKLIB library should allow you to do that:
