Is it possible to connect the TNG software via IP

[John Richard Procter]

Is it possible to connect the TNG software via IP to more than one NEC NEAX PABX?

This document explains how to install multiple instances of the NEAX service on one PC.

NEC service:

tng-NEC-install-1_0_0_1.rar

• Using the Installer, install the dtxNec application as the
  default instance. It will install to the C:\Program Files\Datatex\Nec directory.
  
• When running the install it will prompt you to edit the ini file.
  Please enter for the PABX, the port and IP in section listed below:

[PABX]
PORT=60010
ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
EVENPARITY=1

To create additional instances follow the steps below for each instance.

1. Create a new folder for the extra instance with format NECx.
   Where x is the instance number
   e.g. C:\Program Files\Datatex\Nec1
   
2. Copy the dtxNEC.exe and dtxNEC.ini from the default
   folder in to the new folder.
   
3. Rename the files to the instance in format dtxNEXx.exe and dtxNECx.ini
   Where x is the instance number
   e.g dtxNEC1.exe and dtxNEC1.ini.
   
4. From the command prompt go to the new folder
   e.g cd "C:\Program Files\Datatex\Nec1"
   
5. Type in dtxNECx.exe -install
   Where x is the instance number e.g dtxNEC1.exe -install
   
6. Edit the dtxNECx.ini file.
   
   • Set the SMDR Port. This must be unique for each instance.[SMDR]
     PORT=12345
     
   • Also enter the IP and port of this PABX:
     

     Code: Select all

     [PABX]
PORT=60010
ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
EVENPARITY=1[/list]

     
     
     
   • In the Service Manager you now should have a dtxNEC1 service
     and you can start it.
   
   NB: Repeat above steps for the number of instances you require.
   It is very important to create a new folder for each instance and to edit
   the ini file for the SMDR Port.
   
   
   • Set Verbose logging
     

     Code: Select all

     [LOGGING]
VERBOSE=1


   • If set, you can see if SMDR data received, see example below:
     
     

     Code: Select all

     PABX3:
     
     
     tpz-pabx3-update-3_3_3_9.rar
     
     NOTE: This is not an install file. It will place the pabx3.exe program in the folder :
     C:\Program Files\datatex\pabx3
     You must create the profiles\lib and rawdata folder, else it will give error messages when you run the pabx3.exe.
     You also need to create pabx3 shortcut and place it in the startup to ensure pabx3 is running when the PC restarts.
     
     
   • Now you can install PABX3 to connect to each instance created above. You
     will need multiple PABX3 and you have to connect to the same SMDR port as
     configured in the NEC service for that PABX. Use the IP of the PC the NEC
     service is installed on as the PABX IP in PABX3, as the NEC service is
     simulating the PABX.
     
   • Please see PABX3 Plugin: NEC NEAX 2400 IMS Format to select plugin.
     Use version 2008.12.23.1 or newer.
     
     PABX3 will write out the pabx.pip file in the default file location of
     C:\Program Files\Datatex\Pabx3
     
   • To see if TNG/PABX3 is connecting(via TCP connect) to the NEC service,
     check the NEC service log file:

   • To see if PABX3 is receiving the SMDR data, please check rawdata file.
     If received and correct plugin used, then call data will display on PABX3
     CALL DATA screen.
     
     TNG:
     
   • Configure TNG to read in the pabx.pip as input file with the TOPAZ pip plugin.
