- Configure SMDRLink for TCP under the Settings page.
Tick enable TCP and configure the TCP port number.
Click on APPLY to save settings.
If you check the 'SMDRLink Status log' it will list the TCP port you configured, in this example 26001:- Code: Select all
[2011-12-08 10:59:54.247] TCP ListenPort : 26001
- Simulate the TCP connection using telnet.
In Windows command line enter
"telnet [IP address of SMDRLiNK] [TCP Port configured on SMDRLINK]".
You will then see the same rawdata logged in the .log file(Windows) or rawdata (AMETHYST server) by SMDRLink on your telnet screen.
To stop the telnet
Press the CTRL key and "]" key followed by pressing the enter key.
then type 'close' and press the enter key.
To exit the telnet prompt type 'quit' and press the enter key.
If access is not restricted you should also get the same data when you now use the same port and ip over the network as with the Telnet test from the SMDRLink PC.
NOTE: If you connect from TNG to SMDRLink's TCP port, you must stop the TNG service before you connect with telnet to release the port.
Note: Ensure you are using at least SMDRLink version 1.6.1.0.
Trouble shooting:
- When using 1.6.3.2 we had an issue were the TCP connect did not work after the settings was changed to TCP Server and APPLIED. It only worked after the SMDRLink service was stopped and started.
