I can connect to the FIX order server and get the FAST hash code but my logon attempt to the FAST price server does not get a response.

I'm sending this to the FAST price server:
8=FIX.4.4 (i know this is a FAST server but the package i'm using always sends a FIX version)
9=573
35=A
52=20190829-20:31:10.557
108=30
553=
554=
10=171

What am I doing wrong? Is sending the 8 name/value pair causing a problem?

GAIN Futures FIX/FAST Price Server is built according FAST Specification Version 1.1 and FAST Session Control Protocol 1.1. Did you follow logon message as described here https://gainfutures.com/GFAPI/html/85a85b48-62ff-44c8-9b81-46c943b1fa5d.htm?

I don't see logon message. Are you sending to the following server?

Stage environment: api.gainfutures.com, port 9301

Example:
FAST-IN: Logon -> {63, A, 20190829210953, 30, BridgeTest, , }

So the FAST Session Control Protocol looks completely different from the FIX protocol? FAST does not use pipes ("|") as separators? What is the 63 in your logon message?

The FAST Specification Version 1.1 link
http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/3066/FAST%20Specification%201%20x%201.pdf
on the FAST setup page
https://gainfutures.com/GFAPI/html/f2a3d6b5-eb24-4314-8b50-fa1a88b7c50d.htm
is broken.
