Feed back issue with 232++

Here I am facing a problem with one AXB-RS232++ box. I am using this to control a LCD. I assign the device no as 85:1:1 and set the baud rate 9600,8,n,1 in the box. In my program I created a buffer to process the feedback. I can able to ontrol the LCD but I am not getting any feed back to my buffer. But I noticed that the RX LED on the box is lighting up when I am sending a quarry to the LCD. Also I did a loop back test. Even in the notification option I can see the strings passing to the LCD but can?t see the strings coming back to the box. I tested this LCD with my master control serial port and its working fine.

I tried with another 232++ but the result is same any can anyone help me to fix this?

    Please post the code where you populate the buffer. Perhaps the problem is there.

    The AXB-232's seem to come with some programming in the. I have had this problem before and found that it is best to send the ZAP command to them. I as a norm create an Data event for the device and send the ZAP command everyting it come online. You will get return data once you have ZAP'd the box.

    Here is a sample as to how I write the zap command.

    DATA_EVENT [device]
    {
    ONLINE :
    {
    SEND_COMMAND device,'ZAP!'
    SEND_COMMAND device,'RXON'
    }
    }

    DEFINE_TYPE

    STRUCTURE cLCDSTATUS
    {
    INTEGER POWER
    CHAR SOURCE[15]
    }
