|
| |
Adding network communications capabilities to an application is never a simple matter. It requires specialized knowledge that might be outside an individual programmers expertise. For years, VBScript, Visual Basic and Visual C++ developers have relied upon the power, flexibility and reliability of the ActiveSocket Network Communication Toolkit from ActiveXperts Software. And today, also .NET developers use this control.
With ActiveSocket you can communicate across TCP/IP networks, including the Internet. ActiveSocket provides an easy-to-use scripting interface for TCP/IP communications. By using ActiveSocket, you can very easily create or enhance applications with network features.
Use ActiveSocket to integrate the following IP protocols in your application or script:
Icmp object - See if you can reach another computer; Determine how long it takes to bounce a packet off of another site, which tells you its distance in network terms;
Http/Https object - Log on to a web server, get the web pages and analyze the contents. Support for Proxy servers, SSL and password protected web sites;
Ntp object - Query NTP time servers and retrieve the actual date and time. Calculate offset between servers to see if your LAN time is set properly;
RSh object - Run a Shell Script on a remote UNIX or LINUX computer that runs the RSH (Remote Shell Script) daemon. Read StdErr and StdOut of the remote shell script;
Snmp object - Use the following SNMP operations: Get, GetNext, Set and Trap; support for SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c;
SnmpTrapOut and SnmpTrapIn object - Send and receive SNMP traps to (remote) SNMP agents. Support for SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c;
Socket object - Create your own client/server applications; your server-application listens for an incoming connection on a specific port, while your client application makes a connection to it; Client and server can communication bidirectional, with support for ASCII and binary data, in your LAN or through the internet; Automate Telnet sessions. Use the Telnet object to logon to a switch or router and make changes to the configuration. Log on to a mail server and list all items. Access a print server through telnet and reboot it. There are many devices and services that can be accessed by this Telnet object;
Wake-On-LAN object; Wake up machines on your LAN, based on their MAC address |
