UDP Strings do not trigger network Eos Show Control events

Issue

I am sending valid UDP strings to an Eos console. UDP has been configured correctly, and the diagnostic log shows the incoming string, which matches the string defined in the network event in Show Control.

Explanation of Issue

Eos requires UDP strings to have an "SC" prefix, as well as a termination character of a carriage return, "\r", or "#" to be processed. If your input string defined by the show control event is "Cool String", the UDP string sent to Eos must be "SC Cool String" followed by the termination character of your choice.
