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.
