I've tried to connect to the Lanbox LCX using SAM Show controller in order to use the MSC to control cues. The TCP IP serial port status window shows Connected Tx0 Rx0 but using the go command doesn't work. (in the MSC cue edit window I fill Cue number=cue list & Cue list=cue step).
Any suggestions?

First of all MSC is MIDI Show Control, which can not be used over tcp/ip. So connect the LCX via MIDI.

You can use tcp/ip, but unfortunate the author of SAMC did not make it easy. Before you can use tcp/ip you must send your password+CR right after opening the tcp connection.

Secondly you must send a command (e.g. just #) every minute in order to keep the tcp stream alive.

Then you can send the serial Go commands like (spaces may be omitted):
*56 01 012C 04#
Go Cue List 300 in layer A (01) at Cue Step 4

All together not really user friendly ;-)
