NetDial Component [IP*Works! V8]

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings  

The NetDial component can be used to call the Remote Access System (RAS) to initiate or break connections to remote hosts, list connections, and phonebook entries.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The user can either directly provide a PhoneNumber, User, Password, and optionally a Domain and CallbackNumber, or get those entries from PhonebookEntry of Phonebook. The calls are blocking but progress information is given through the Status event and Windows messages will come during connect or disconnect methods.

The user can get information on the phonebook entries and connections by calling the respective methods of the component. ConnectedEntry and PhonebookEntry events will fire with the required information.

Support is also provided for creating and/or deleting phonebook entries, as well as listing the various RAS devices supported by the system.
