About Dialogic HMP test program

[David Clarke]

Thanks Peter,
I have the cisco phones working mostly. Had to turn some stuff off and some stuff on. Still not sure I have is right - but I am continuing...

[Peter Lameijn]

That's a good choice, they have a lot of possibilities.
I don't know the Cisco phones, but according to the manual they can also make direct IP calls:

[David Clarke]

I just ordered a couple Grandstream HT801 VoIP to ATA (analog phone) adapters.

[David Clarke]

Cisco SPA525G

[Peter Lameijn]

Grandstream GXP1400 phones and Grandstream HT801 VoIP to ATA (analog phone) adapters.
At the emergency switchboards the server is directly connected to a SIP trunk.
What type of Cisco phones are they?

[David Clarke]

Not sure if my Cisco IP phones can work without a call controller. What model phones do you use?

[Peter Lameijn]

Two IP phones should be able to dial eachother directly if configured OK
Most phones have a special "dial direct ip number" choice.

You should also be able to enter the ip address in the demo program and dial it...
If not, something is wrong with the IP settings...

[David Clarke]

Thanks Peter. Now I trying to figure out why my Cisco IP phones can't IP dial each other.

[Peter Lameijn]

The NCM dll is the configuration manager. It needs to have full file access to the directory holding the config files.
(to read/write/delete config files)
I suppose the normal user rights for that directory aren't enough.

Needs also capability to start/stop or change services which not all normal users are allowed.

[David Clarke]

Peter, thank you so much!!!

Thankfully it is a simple problem. Now I can get back to seeing how much of my 20 year old knowledge still applies.

[David Clarke]

Have you tried running as administrator?

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Run your app as administrator. Now to figure out why...

[Peter Lameijn]

It seems to happen if some of the configuration parameters are not accessible (or read only)
Have you tried running as administrator? (both HMP and Demo)

NCME_ACCESS_DENIED - denied access error (configuration parameter may be read-only)

You can activate the license multiple times as long as the MAC is correct and it's not expired (date)
The default licensefile that came inside the HMP zip should also work.
It's a file called something like: " 1r1v0e0c0f0s1i_ver.lic ", valid for 1 channel and never expires and not bound to a MAC.

What release are you using? (See config manager -> Help -> About)
I'm using release 395, because it's easier: works on all 32 and 64 bit systems.
If you're using release 5xx then I could send you the 395 version if needed...

I personally think it's an access problem.
The dialogic demo doesn't use ncm_getsystemstate to see if it's running; they just bluntly start it...
(so they have no problems...)

You probably can get my demo to work by removing the NCM_GetSystemState call.
(but I find that a bit of a 'kludge'...)

[David Clarke]

That code has helped a HUGE amount. Error 34.

[David Clarke]

Thanks!

This will be very helpfull!!

Question: Do you know get an error if the license is not right? I am still not positive about the license. I think I noticed you can only activate the license once?

[Peter Lameijn]

Thanks Peter!

Your code shows same as mine.



Clearly something is messing me up. I have my firewall off. I have to figure out how and where the breakdown is happening!

[Peter Lameijn]

I now recall that I replaced that type because it just didn't fit the original C definition.
Some winsock includes use a Dword, some a String * 4, and all are missing a Union member...

C:

struct in_addr {
  union {
    struct {
      u_char s_b1;
      u_char s_b2;
      u_char s_b3;
      u_char s_b4;
    } S_un_b;
    struct {
      u_short s_w1;
      u_short s_w2;
    } S_un_w;
      u_long S_addr;
    } S_un;
};

I translated that to:

Type s_un_b_struc
  s_b1 As Byte
  s_b2 As Byte
  s_b3 As Byte
  s_b4 As Byte
End Type

Type s_un_w_struc
  s_w1 As Word
  s_w2 As Word
End Type

Union in_addr
  s_un_b As s_un_b_struc
  s_un_w As s_un_w_struc
  s_addr As Dword
End Union

If I run code below it returns the HMP state (if correct it should return "System running")

#COMPILE EXE
#DIM ALL
#INCLUDE "WIN32API.INC"

DECLARE FUNCTION NCM_GetSystemState LIB "NCMapi.dll" CDECL ALIAS "NCM_GetSystemState" (SystemState AS LONG) AS LONG
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
  LOCAL lRet AS LONG, lStr As String, lszStr As Asciiz * 256
  If SearchPath(Byval 0, "NCMApi.dll", Byval 0, SizeOf(lszStr), lszStr, lRet) Then
    If NCM_Getsystemstate(lRet) = 0 Then
      Select Case lRet
        Case 1 : lStr = "System start pending"
        Case 2 : lStr = "System stop pending"
        Case 3 : lStr = "System stopped"
        Case 4 : lStr = "System running"
        Case 5 : lStr = "System halted"
        Case 6 : lStr = "System state undefined"
        Case Else : lStr = "Unknown"
      End Select
    Else
      lStr = "NCM_GetSystemState failed"
    End If
  Else
    lStr = "NCMApi.dll not found"
    lszStr = "-""
  End If
  MsgBox "Status: " & lStr & $Cr & "Dll location: " & lszStr,, "HMP_GetSystemState"
END FUNCTION

[David Clarke]

When you said: "Winapi3 are Jose includes. It probably is caused by the IN_ADDR structure. It should look like this:"

Are you saying to change it in the Jose include file? I don't see any definition for s_un_b_struc or for s_un_w_struc in the Jose files or your files?

[B][FONT=Courier New]Union in_addr
s_un_b As s_un_b_struc
s_un_w As s_un_w_struc s
addrAs Dword
End Union[/FONT][/B]

[David Clarke]

Also to answer some of your earlier questions - I am on a 64bit cpu, and have the most current hmp download. I have installed it a few times.

Got a new license today.

[David Clarke]

Hi
So I spent some time with Dialogic today. I got gc_basic_call_model.exe working. So I figured I would try something simple.
Can't get your program to work.

Would you think this should work?

#DIM ALL

#INCLUDE "WIN32API.INC"
#INCLUDE "HMP_IP.INC"

DECLARE FUNCTION NCM_GetSystemState LIB "NCMapi.dll" CDECL ALIAS "NCM_GetSystemState" (SystemState AS LONG) AS LONG
