Any experience with a SMC JXC91?

I have a JXC91 paired with an actuator LER50-K in this case. I communicate with it via ethernet ip protocol C# ethernet ip library. The only thing I want is to get the actuator name. The manual and eds file do not mention any commands for this service what I could see and the Identity Object only gives me information about the JXC model.
I have the JXC91 connected to my PC via ethernet/usb adapter and the manufacturers program (ACTC Controller) is able to find it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

websocket can´t reach local network client service

Having some trouble with websocket-connection within the local network.
Scenario:
For my laptop (Win7) I've written a service which opens a websocket-server to port 2014. Because websockets aren't enabled by default for windows 7 I'm using the supersocket library ( http://www.supersocket.net/ ).
For the Client I've written a android app with sencha touch and Phonegap. To enable websocket- support for android devices with version lower 4.4 I've integrated the phonegap websocket- pugin.
The reason is to open a websocket-connection between the android device and the laptop to control the laptop by the android app. Both devices are members of the same local network.
The problem:
After installing both applications (windows service and android app) I've tried to connect my android device with the service from the laptop. First step is to open the connection on the client:
var connection = new WebSocket('ws://192.168.178.21:2014');
But in the event-logs of my windows service there is no successful connection logged.
After that I opened the browser of my laptop and tested the same code - successful. Client and Server could communicate with each other.
So I've tested the websocket-support on my android device: changed the websocket-url to
var connection = new WebSocket('ws://echo.websocket.org');
and could connect to the server -> Android websockets are okay.
Third step was to disable my firewall and check the connection with Wireshark:
Screenshot:http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3710/y9t79npy_png.htm
192.168.178.21 -> Laptop IP
192.168.178.23 -> Android device IP
So it seems that the packets reach my laptop but not the service. Additional tried to use the secure wss:// protocol - no victory.
Don't have any ideas anymore. Would be a pleasure to get some help :)

So it seems that the packets reach my laptop but not the service.
Could it be that the server is binding to a specific IP address or hostname? Often servers will implicitly bind to all interfaces, such as 0.0.0.0, but sometimes they bind to one specific interface. If that happens, then you need to connect to that same interface.
You said your client is connecting to ws://192.168.178.21:2014, but could it be that the server is binding to 127.0.0.1 or localhost or your hostname, and therefore doesn't see the request? That could explain why the laptop received the request, but not your service.
Then again, you said you tried it from your local browser, and it worked. Did you use the same IP address, or did you use 127.0.0.1 or localhost? Assuming you used the same IP address, 192.168.178.21, then that would indicate it's not the bind issue I described.
Sorry, that's all I can think of at the moment.

After some time i´ve found the solution:
Had to add the firewall rule to the public firewall options.
Thanks for your help:)

WP7: TCP connection from phone to PC via USB

I'm trying to get a connection via TCP sockets from my Phone that is plugged via USB to the PC. It does not seem to work. The Socket.ConnectAsync returns a Success, so the hostname (name of my PC) is correctly resolved. However, the first Socket.SendAsync ends up in a Connection Reset.
It works with the emulator and if the PC and phone are in the same private WiFi network, but never via the USB connection.
This is kind of strange, since HTTP traffic seems to work quite well: The phone's browser can connect to my PC's webserver (with both PC and phone beeing offline, just connected via USB) and a small test app can connect via HTTP (WebClient) to the PC, like asked in this SO question here.
So my question is, as there must be some security restriction that I did not discover yet, or some technical restriction: How can I get it to work, and if not, why?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Have you tried doing a connection using the Socket class to the web server (ie. port 80) on your computer?
I'm pretty sure the USB Connection Sharing for WP7 is restricted on the ports that it actually shares. I could be wrong, of course, but this would explain your situation.

How can i detect the ip, lan port & system details

I need to make an application such that in a local area network, it's possible to get info about the LAN port, system details like RAM, processor, etc., and also the IP of the system in the LAN. Is it possible using asp.net?

You can use WMI, see also LINQ to WMI

Ip & port is possible if your server is placed in the lan, otherwise not without help
The port you already know as you defined it (port 80 by default).
IP: Request.UserHostAddress()
The rest you will need a 3'rd party application to tell you ie. a browser plugin

View Website Through Serial Port

I have an embedded system running a web server that will usually be connected to an Ethernet network so users can simply enter the IP address of the device to access it.
However, I also need to make some of the same website functionality avaiable to users of the serial port on the device. It would be nice if I could reuse some of the logic I've developed for the web forms for this.
I am currently using .NET for development on my desktop and my embedded device is Linux based. Is it possible to host website content via a serial port or is there some other means by which I can pull this off?

Just a wild guess: back in the days when you connected by modem to the internet, there was a SLIP protocol: IP over Serial Line. Could you use that to establish an "internet connection" to your device?

There are a few options:
If the server is to be in windows, and you have windows 7 then windows xp mode (1) (2) will allow you to use SLIP so that you can provision over serial as you would to any IP address by mapping the serial port to an IP address.
Alternatively there is a sourceforge project called Contiki which has source code to allow the same if you fancy coding your own (the class is called uIp TCP/IP Stack).
Let me know if this is roughly what you're looking for and I can focus in on your specific requirements if you like:)
Cheers.

The first thing that comes to mind is some sort of LYNX like browser (I don't even know if it exists anymore). Maybe easier would be to just do a simple command line interface? It's linux, so you should just be able to spin up a telnet session pretty easily, right?

I believe you should be able to configure your Linux distribution to point your serial port at a terminal, and have that terminal log in with lynx as the shell.
You might want to follow directions for a Linux serial console (tutorial here) and potentially create a user account with the shell set directly to run lynx. Instruct the login prompt (/etc/issue in the tutorial) with the username and password.
Edit: If you're just looking for some sort of data entry from the console, you could just write a shell script or other program and point that user's shell to that application instead.

You could build a TCP client application on your linux device that will talk to your linux web server and redirect data to serial port, and build a TCP server application for your users that will talk to their serial port and redirect data to some TCP port (like 12345). Then all your users need to do is to set their browser to http://localhost:12345 and connect their PC to linux device via serial port cross over cable.
