SCS corntroling SCS on a remote computer

I am trying to get one instance of SCS to trigger a cue on a remote computer running an independent instance of SCS. I have the two insctances communicating ( as indicated by the messaging on the remote computer) but it does not trigger the cue? Am I using the wrong cue triggering setting, or does SCS not work the way I think it should? I have a multi-seat version of SCS pro plus. I think this should work, has anyone had experience in this situation?

Could you email me diagnostic files from both computers? You can create the files by selecting 'Create Diagnostic File' from the drop-down menu displayed when you click the Help button in the main window. The file will be saved in a folder named "SCS Diagnostics" under "Documents" or "My Documents".

Thanks for the diagnostic files, Jason. In your controlling cue file you have Control Send commands like scsGo("1") but the cue numbers in the target computers have a "Q" prefix. So change scsGo("1") to scsGo("Q1") etc and you should be OK.

Jason, how do you have the computers connected together? I could find this to be very valuable information for a regular gig I do.

I have recently done the same thing. Two laptops connected by CAT5 Ethernet cable. Main laptop used to send "go" instruction to second using "network" send in the devices section of project properties.
