8/2/2021    Beta release WhispirGate V1.0(2)   

This is the second BETA release and is for testing the client with the MDS system.

It now contains classes for the Whispir API connection. The CHILKAT libraries must be installed for this to operate.

 

The Whispir Log contains the JSON payload to be sent as well as responses from the Whispir REST API.

There is a test button on this tab to send local messages to the API.

The debug checkbox turns on and off the real connection to the API. When checked no connection is made.

 

The application will interface to the MDS and send messages in real time. There is currently no queuing of messages to take advantage of reducing packet numbers. A packet is sent for each message.

 

 

3/2/2021    First Beta release WhispirGate V1.0(0)  

This is the first BETA release and is for testing the client with the MDS system.

It does not contain any classes for the Whispir API connection.

The client has been produced to test the connectivity to the MDS. The SMS operation is simulated to produce the 3 types of responses from the final Whispir solution.

It requires the following configuration changes;

  1. Add new module W** to MDSClient

  2. Add new PortClass RESTAPI

  3. Add new Outputmethod RESTIP

  4. Add to Settings SWITCHTYPE=WAITDELETE

 

 

In this version, if there is a problem in starting the client, it will not exit. The error on startup will be in the log.

 

Once installed and connected to the Hub, messages can be sent to it. It will mimic the SMS operation by sending back three responses.

The first is that it has sent the message packet, about 1 second. The second indicates the message was received by the SMS device about 5 seconds later. The third is that the SMS was acknowledged by the SMS device user, about 5 seconds. The Switch V2.0 (252) (and earlier) will then send a delete packet indicating it has closed the message.

With the new Switch V3.0 and above, the Client will delete the message after it was acknowledged. The Switch will also delete the message after it receives the acknowledgement message from the Client. No delete packet is sent from the Switch to the Client.
