If x contains the number to be sent, send this string:

	string.char(
		math.floor(x/256^0)%256,
		math.floor(x/256^1)%256,
		math.floor(x/256^2)%256,
		math.floor(x/256^3)%256
		)

or this, depending on the order you want the bytes:

	string.char(
		math.floor(x/256^3)%256
		math.floor(x/256^2)%256,
		math.floor(x/256^1)%256,
		math.floor(x/256^0)%256,
		)
