Manual for ISDNSERVER
Testing isdnserver's functionality

After successfully compiling, installing and configuring, you can test if isdnserver works correctly with the following steps:

1.) Start isdnserver in verbose mode: isdnserver --verbose

2.) The following text should appear on your console:


isdnserver version 0.5.1b (developer)

isdnserver: Card nr. 0 correctly configured. (/dev/isdnctrl)

isdnserver: Isdnserver monitors 1 card(s) and 1 device(s)

isdnserver: Started in verbose mode.

Now pick up a phone and start a call, if you see output like this one, (don't panic if it's a lot more):

  |------1-     C/R bit: 1

then your isdnserver copy works correctly in local mode.

Now let's test the network mode.

1.) Start isdnserver in network mode: isdnserver -n

2.) Start the telnet, or netcat, program with the following parameters:

telnet localhost 4950 or nc localhost 4950 (the port number, which here is 4950, can be different if you changed it in isdnserver.config)

After starting telnet or netcat (nc) you will be prompted your your user name, (USER:).

Type your name and press the enter key.

The following text should appear:

End the session by typing quit and pressing enter.
