Chapter 3: Getting started
Before using the VT100 Gateway
Before you can use the VT100 Gateway, you must complete these tasks:
• If necessary, install a multiport adapter board and expander box.
• Create the action and screen templates necessary to navigate through the
host application and return the desired information (see Chapter 2).
• Create the screen.conf, trs.conf, vt100.ctl, and com.conf files (described
in this chapter).
• Before starting IVR 2.0/I, cd to the /u/ivr/exe directory on the
application processor and execute the ./trs -c command. This will verify
that the VT100 Gateway has been installed and configured correctly, and
that the screen and action templates have the appropriate syntax.
• Start IVR 2.0/I on the application processor. The TRS process is
automatically started when you issue the
MIVR start command.
If you are going to connect to the host computer via modem, you will have to
configure the modem with the correct settings, attach the modem to the
communication port, and dial up the host computer. Also make sure that
DIAL_UP is specified in the com.conf file (discussed later).
During startup, the trs.log file remains empty unless the verbose option (-v)
is added. To debug the application put the TRS process into debug mode.
Check the trs.log file or the trs.tmp file for errors. To put the TRS process into
verbose mode go to /u/ivr/startup and change the ./trs -b line so that it reads
./trs -b -v.
