Installing Message Queuing Services on Windows NT4
Download and install Windows NT4 Option Pack from the
Internet at
http://www.microsoft.com/NTServer/nts/downloads/recommended/NT4Opt
Pk/default.asp
.
Be sure to select to install Microsoft Message Queue Server 1.0.
All code was developed using Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6.0, for
Microsoft Windows WIN98/NT/2000.
Server Initialisation
The port server must be running for the Client applications to work.
‘PortServer.exe’ takes the desired serial port name as a command line
parameter. If no command line parameter is specified, ‘PortServer’
assumes that ‘com1’ is desired. Start the server application by running
‘PortServer.exe’. If com2 is connected to the modem, run the server as
following: PortServer com2.
This server application does not have a user’s interface. The only way
to ensure that it is running is to view the active processes on the
Windows Task Manager.
VDD Library
The VDD library contains all tools required for client-server
communications by using the MSMQ service to deliver messages to the
other party. All client applications are required to open a session with
the server application if it wants to communicate with the modem. By
using the VDD library this process message delivery is transparent for
the client.
