crestron@groups.io | Matrox Monarch - control via Crestron?

#253949

Have several of these units that will no longer communicate with the Crestron modules supplied by Matrox (version 1).
Can get into the device menus but did not find any options to specifically allow external control.

Device firmware version:

1.1.8.0020

Any ideas of how to make this work? not sure what the module would send if it did connect.
So far, trying to decipher protocol via their document so I can send via Hercules client. No luck so far.

The syntax required for authentication seems to be the issue. If I send the following, I get the reply below it via Hercules client.

// sent
GET /Monarch/syncconnect/sdk.aspx?command=GetStatus<LF><CR>

// received
GET /Monarch/syncconnect/sdk.aspx?command=GetStatus
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

This is what the Crestron module tries to send to port 80:

GET /Monarch/syncconnect/sdk.aspx?command=GetStatus HTTP/1.1\x0D\x0AHOST:127.0.0.1\x0D\x0AAuthorization: Basic YWRtaW46UHJvZm91bmQxITEwME0=\x0d\x0a
