Lifesize IP Communication

davec

Hi All

I`ve just recently come off the P2 course and i`m challenged with connecting to the Lifesize VC system via IP.

I can make the initial connection to the unit ( which i`ve flagged using a channel so I know its online ), the only problem is that you need to send the username ( auto ) and password ( lifesize ) to keep the connection up? I can Telnet into the system via Putty and it works fine, I just cant seem to establish a connection with the system and keep it 'up'!

I have no problem controlling the system via RS-232, its just the IP which is proving awkward for me.

I`ve tried sending the username and password straight after the connection has been made. I`ve tried sending it in intervals ( with putty it takes a couple of seconds once you have typed the username in to be able to put the password in ).

I`m just wondering if anybody else has had the same problems and whether anybody will be able to point me in the right direction

Many Thanks

Dave

Dave,

Here is how it was done in a system that I worked on. I didn't write the system but got called in to make some adjustments.

ONLINE:{
WAIT 20
{
SEND_STRING dvVTC,"'auto',13,10"
WAIT 20
{
SEND_STRING dvVTC,"'lifesize',13,10"
}
}
}
OFFLINE:{
WAIT 300
{
IP_CLIENT_OPEN(dvVTC.PORT,'192.168.70.25',23,1)
}
}

Danny,

Thanks for that. I wasn't giving it enough time between sending the username and password. I was only giving it 15!

God damn these simple problems! All comes with experience though!

Thanks

Dave
