PABX - Internet - Movie Interface

Previous  Top  Next

This interface takes usage and charging information from internet or movie systems and places the charges on the reservation account of the appropriate client.

Sample data file:

This file is to be created by the monitoring software in a user defined directory, which may reside on a shared folder (usually \rmswin) and would be named using the following scheme. pabxyymm.dat

For example pabx0102.dat where 01 = Year and 02 = Month.

This file should be opened, a record (line) written and then closed.

A new file must be created each month upon the first record for that month being written.

If the file already exists it should be used and not replaced.

Each record (line) must be followed by a Carriage Return, Line feed to start the next line.

This file is a standard ASCI text file.
