Ci/Co rooms & Listening for calls in HOTEL mode

Hi,
My only doubt is related to OXO version and i am not OXO expert.
According to the doc, the OXO release must be 8.2 or above. Is that the case?
If not, for the check-in you must use the type A message and not the type B msg

G-HART · Post by **G-HART** » 02 Mar 2023 04:47

Hi,
I was advised to use the B frame by the TelCo supplier as "They (their client) use 6 digit passwords, hence the need for a “B” frame."

I don't know the OXO version, but If an can bee advised on Hoe to find this out, then I will endeavour to get this information.

From your output "OmniPCX Office Version : 3EH30582BPAA ONEGB051/027.001" it seems to be a release 5.1 but once again, i am not a OXO expert.
What you can also try, is to test with a type A frame and check the behaviour.

Hi, I have replaced "b" with "a" when sending a message, but I get the same error in the O.L.D. log

I do not see any type A frame on the log. The message that i see is a D frame and also for that one the error appears despiste the message its ok.
Are you sure that on the OXO site the setup is done? is it configured for hotel, does the room 283 and 212 exists, are the length configured for 6 digits, ...

sadim · Post by **sadim** » 03 Mar 2023 08:25

Also on the old there is the possibility to make a checkin test. Try making a checkin directly from the old and check the behaviour

sadim · Post by **sadim** » 03 Mar 2023 09:32

In addition, in the sockets docs, the error seems to be due a connection lost. After sending the frames are you closing the connection ?
perhabs you can launch a wireshark capture and check what is going on

Hi,

The previous data was for the last response from the system that showed the error. This happened to be a departure, hence the D. Apologies.

Arrivals with an A prefix instead of a B looks like this (and returns the same message ).

I was advised to use the B prefix a while ago after Telco remembered that the system was set up for 6-digit passwords, not four.
They do not use the passwords anyway, hence that section being blank.

Extension Numbers have been confirmed by the TelCo.

The message sent looks correct (to me) re: OXOConnect_OHL_API_Developer-Guide_ed4.0pdf ( pg 35 and 40 )

Thanks

sadim · Post by **sadim** » 06 Mar 2023 09:33

I think it's wrong. I think you are sending 6 characters in the password field and in the type A frame it should only be 4. The length of a A frame is 61 (with stx, etx and crc)
Either way, this shouldn't be what causes the error = 70014
You bore my remaining comments:
.the error seems to be due a connection lost. After sending the frames are you closing the connection ?
.Also on the OLD there is the possibility to make a checkin test. Try making a checkin directly from the OLD and check the behaviour

Hi sadmin, thank you very much for your help and advice. I would just like to say I have an initial interface now working, and it all seems

to be working.

Lots of redundant code, but I'll let it work for a while before I tinker.

Incase anyone else is looking to do this, or I forget in the future

, here is my code ATM.

Thank you so much again.
