How do I install the Linker service?

Postby Belinda Frick » Mon Mar 05, 2012 3:17 pm

The Linker service will pass data to a TCP port.

Required:


  • Linker install file:
    dtx-Linker-install-1_0_0_0.rar

Linker.ini:

Code: Select all
[SETTINGS]
RECEIVER_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
RECEIVER_PORT=7001
PROVIDER_PORT=7000
MAXRECORDS=1000
VERBOSE=0


  • For Receiving data you have the [Receiver_Client] or [Reciever_Server]

    You configure one of the 2 options. If in the ini file:

    • the Receiver_Address is set,
      it will use the Receiver_Client to connect to a host and capture the data.

      NOTE: to test if the data is being sent you need to do a TCP connect. Hyperterminal and Putty have this option.

    • the Receiver_Address is not set,
      the Receiver_Server will sit and wait for data to be sent to it.

      Code: Select all
      [SETTINGS]
      RECEIVER_ADDRESS=
      RECEIVER_SERVER=127.0.0.1
      RECEIVER_PORT=7001
      PROVIDER_PORT=7000
      MAXRECORDS=1000
      VERBOSE=0

        NOTE:

        RECEIVER_SERVER=PABX IP
        RECEIVER_PORT=PABX PORT
        PROVIDER_PORT=TCP Port you configure to connect to

      For example if you have a PABX that sends data to a port and not have a TCP port to connect to, you will use this option. This information is then 'forwarded' to the ProviderServer port you configured. You then use TCP connect to get this information from our Linker program.

      NOTE: to test if the data is being sent you need to do a TCP Listen. Hyperterminal and Putty does not have this option.
  • The [ProviderServer] port is where the information is available to who ever wants it.

    You can set TNG/PABX3 for TOPAZ/SMDRLink to connect to the port and IP of the Linker service to receive the SMDR data.

NOTE:

  • To make changes to the ini file, you need to stop the linker service, edit the linker.ini, save the changes and then start the linker service again.

  • Set VERBOSE logging to 1 for testing purposes to see detailed logging.
