MODES
Brooktrout Configuration Tool can be launched in one of the following modes:
/w or --wizard : This switch launches the configuration tool as a wizard. In this mode, you can configure the Brooktrout boards with ease by simply following the wizard steps. Dialogic recommends using this mode when the user has similar kinds of boards installed. In this mode, all the boards are configured with the same settings.
/a or --advanced: This switch launches the configuration tool in advanced mode. In this mode, you can perform advanced configuration such as configuring individual board modules, ports, btcall parameters, driver parameters. You can also configure virtual modules and Brooktrout IP stack in this mode.
/o or --offline : This switch launches the configuration tool in offline mode. In this mode, you can create or modify the configuration files (btcall and call control) and add or remove modules. This mode does not provide an option to Apply configuration.
/s or --silent : This switch launches the configuration tool in silent mode. In this mode, the configuration tool silently configures the Brooktrout boards without any user interaction. The configuration tool reads the configuration files, installs and starts the plug and play device driver if not installed or started, detects the installed Brooktrout hardware and virtual modules and finally Applies the configuration without bringing up any graphic user interface.
The figure below shows how the final mode is evaluated:
Computed Mode: This mode is evaluated by the configuration tool by verifying various conditions such as the driver status, number of detected modules, number of identified modules, detected module type, licensing status and so on.
Command line Mode: This is the mode that you specified at the command line.
Final Mode: This is the final mode that is calculated using the computed and the command line modes as shown in the figure below. The configuration tool will be launched in the final mode.
Note: If at least one board in the system is an IP enabled board or you have an invalid license file installed, the configuration tool will be always launched in the advanced mode.
OPTIONS
Brooktrout Configuration Tool provides the following options:
/t or --timer : This option launches the configuration tool after the amount of time specified at the command line. The option brings up a Timer Dialog that displays the remaining time and also provides an option to launch the configuration tool immediately. For example: /t30 launches the configuration tool after the 30 secs delay.
/p or --preferences: This option launches the preferences dialog before bringing up the configuration tool. You can edit the location of the btcall and call control configuration files, firmware folder, INF file and the start mode of Boston host service using the Preferences Dialog.
/q or --nopreferences: This option suppresses the launch of the preferences dialog before bringing up the configuration tool.
/f or --cfgfile: This option allows you to specify the name of the btcall configuration
file while launching the configuration tool.
For example: /fC:\Brooktrout\Boston\custom\btcall.cfg
sets the location of the btcall configuration file to "C:\Brooktrout\Boston\custom\btcall.cfg"
for use or modification by the configuration tool.
/i or --inffile: This option allows you to specify the name of the INF file while
launching the configuration tool.
For example: /iC:\Brooktrout\Boston\driver\custom\trxstream.inf
sets the location of the INF file to "C:\Brooktrout\Boston\driver\custom\trxstream.inf"
for use by the configuration tool. The INF file will be used only when the configuration tool
installs the plug and play device driver. The configuration tool will attempt to install the
plug and play driver only when the driver is not installed or started.
/c or --configip: This option launches the "Configure IP Stack" dialog when one or more installed modules are ethernet or IP enabled. You can configure a Brooktrout IP stack to run on the installed modules using Configure IP Stack.
/d or --debug: This option enables the debug flag. Use this option to initiate writing of the debug information to the configuration.log file.
/e or --expert: This option shows all hidden parameters. Use this mode only under the guidance of Tech Support personnel.
Note: All the options are used in combination with the mode to launch the configuration tool.
