Software Development Tools
Wavenet SDK
DataTAC networks allow wireless communication and are installed in
many different countries around the world.
The Wavenet Software Development Kit (SDK) has been developed to
facilitate development of applications for these networks by providing
a simple program interface for communicating with the network
devices.
SDK Software Architecture
The SDK is built on a client-server architecture. The server application
allows multiple client applications simultaneous access to the modem
The sample ‘ModemInfo’ application is an example of a client
application. The ‘PortServer’ application acts as the server.
SDK Contents
The SDK contains the following components:
Integrators Guide and Users Manual for Boomer-III OEM
modem (This manual)
“Wavenet Commander” software
Wavenet Commander is a modem application development and
diagnostic communications tool that runs on a Windows PC and
allows communication with the modem via the Boomer-III Test
Jig. It provides a means for users to become familiar with the
modem and uses NCL protocol to communicate with the
modem.
NCL Application Interface (API):
The NCL API is the wireless client component of the SDK. It
provides routines for sending and receiving data using an NCL
compliant Radio Packet Modem (RPM).
The NCL_API PortServer application allows multiple client
applications simultaneous access to the modem via a single
communications port. A sample client application 'ModemInfo'
with full source code is included in the NCL_API directories.
ModemInfo
A directory structure containing source files and executable for
the sample ModemInfo Client application.
PortServer
A directory structure containing a serial port sever. The serial
port server runs as a service on your PC and allows multiple
clients to access the modem via a serial port.
