82 CHAPTER 7: PLACING, RECEIVING AND DISCONNECTING CALLS Creating a Connection Script You can choose to manually create a script from within a text editor of your choice and copy and paste the script directly into the Script Configuration text box. Or you may use the buttons located along the left side of the script window to guide you through the scripting process. Connection Script Command Syntax The following section explains the valid script command syntax. s The Begin command (begin) initiates the script. The first line of the script must start with begin. s The Delay command (delay second) designates a length of time to wait before sending the next command in the script. The acceptable values are between 1-60 seconds. s The SetPort command (setport databit, parity, stopbit) allows you to match the script to the communication port settings of the remote server. The valid databit is 8 or 7. The valid parity is none, even, or odd. The valid stopbit is either 1 or 2. s The Transmit command (transmit "text string") sends a text string to the remote server. An example of a transmit string might be your account username or password. This text must be included between the quotation marks. A carriage return is simulated by the characters ^M within the quotation marks. The maximum length for this string is 64 characters. s The WaitFor command (waitfor "string, second") allows you to designate the text that the script will wait for before proceeding. An example of text that you might wait for is the string Username, for which you would send your username as a reply. If the timeout period elapses before a matching string is received, the script execution will abort. The maximum string length is 64 characters, and the acceptable second is between 1-60. s The End command completes your script. The last line of your script must conclude with end. Using the Configuration To create a connection script using the configuration buttons, do the following. Buttons 1 From the Script Configuration page, click Begin. The text begin is entered as the first line in the script window. 2 Click Delay to set a delay interval before executing the next line of the script. The Delay dialog box opens. 3 Enter the amount of time in seconds that your script will wait before proceeding. This delay interval is used to allow the remote server time to process your request. Click OK when finished. The text delay xx is entered in the script window. 4 Click Set Port. The Data Bits dialog box opens. 5 Enter the number of Data Bits required by your service provider. Click OK when finished. The Parity dialog box opens.
