PromptNET TCP/IP Active X Controls
PromptNET/ActiveX
is a drop in COM component that allows
programmers to easily add the ability to send prompts to and receive data
from their R/F Terminal via an RF Base Station across a TCP/IP network
connection.
PromptNET
requires a "Client" computer on a TCP/IP network (to which
up to 4 serial Base Stations can be attached) and a "Server" computer
visible on the network to the Client.
The client computer runs the
PromptNET
Client Utility program as a
background task. The server computer runs your application which uses the
PromptNET
ActiveX component to communicate with the Client.
The ActiveX component is compatible with Visual Basic, Visual C++,
Delphi, and most other 32-bit development platforms. The client program
requires Windows 98 or later. See the help file for installation instructions.
Programming Considerations
Network Setup
•
The network settings on both client and server must support
TCP/IP communications.
•
It is critical that the client and server computers are "visible" to
each other across your network. Both computers must have an IP
address in the same subnet. The server requires a static IP address
while the Client can either have a static address or use an assigned
IP address via a DHCP server or equivalent. Refer to your
Windows networking administration utility in the Control Panel to
configure computer IP address settings.
•
PromptNET
uses ports 54123 (server) and 54124 (client).
•
You can link server and client through a dial-up or DSL internet link
as long as the server has a static IP address and your router passes
the above ports.
