[LCtalk] help! LanBox LCE falls asleep ?

[tim]

Hello,

I have a problem controlling a LanBox LCE and a switchpack from Pure 
Data.  It works, but it always stops working after 30 seconds or so.  
The connection is made via the [tcpclient] object for pd.  I suspect 
that the connection is not really lost but the lanbox (or switchpack ?) 
falls asleep after 30 seconds.  I can wake it up only by breaking the 
connection and reconnecting.

An example patch for pd+lanbox has a  "keep connection alive" part witch 
sends Common16BitMode On (0x65 0xFF) Is this correct ?

It doesn't do the job of keeping the Lanbox active here.  Which other 
command could work for this?  I tried CommonSetIpconfig, CommonSetDMXin 
with no luck.  I don't see a better candidate in the Command Chart 
immediately.

thanks,
Tim
