NetDial Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The NetDial component can be used to call the Remote Access System (RAS) to initiate or break connections to remote hosts, list connections, and phonebook entries.

Syntax

TipwNetDial

Remarks

The user can either directly provide a PhoneNumber, User, and Password, and optionally a Domain and CallbackNumber, or can get those entries from PhonebookEntry of Phonebook. The calls are blocking but progress information is given through the Status event, and Windows messages will come during connect or disconnect methods.

The user can get information on the phonebook entries and connections by calling the respective methods of the component. ConnectedEntry and PhonebookEntry events will fire with the required information.

Support is also provided for creating or deleting phonebook entries as well as for listing the various RAS devices supported by the system.

Config Settings (NetDial Component)

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

NetDial Config Settings

IgnoreModemSpeaker:   Whether the component will ignore the default modem speaker settings.

Setting this value to True will cause the component to ignore the modem speaker settings in the Remote Access System (RAS) phonebook, and it will use the setting specified by SetModemSpeaker. If it is False, the component uses the modem speaker setting that is in the RAS phonebook, and it then ignores the setting specified by the SetModemSpeaker.

IgnoreSoftwareCompression:   Whether the component will ignore the default software compression settings.

If this is value is set to True, the component ignores the software compression setting that is in the RAS phonebook, and it uses the setting specified by SetSoftwareCompression. If it is set to False, the component uses the software compression setting that is in the RAS phonebook, and it then ignores the setting specified by SetSoftwareCompression.

OverrideEntrySetting:   Whether or not to use the component settings when dialing a phone book entry.

If this is value is set to True, the component will use PhoneNumber, CallBackNumber, User, Password, and Domain as specified in the component, instead of the value specified in the preexisting phonebook entry.

PausedStates:   Whether the component will accept paused states.

If this is value is set to True, the component will accept paused states. Paused states include terminal mode, retry logon, change password, set callback number, and EAP authentication. If it is set to False, the component will report a fatal error if it enters a paused state.

PauseOnScript:   Tells the component to display a logon terminal.

This value is used internally by the system for Windows-95-style logon script execution. If this is value is set to True, a logon script will be displayed in a terminal window visible to the user. Applications should not set this value.

SetModemSpeaker:   Whether the component will use the modem speaker.

This configuration value determines whether or not the modem speaker will sound during a connection. If IgnoreModemSpeaker is False, the component ignores the value of SetModemSpeaker, and it sets the modem speaker based on the RAS phonebook setting or the default setting.

SetSoftwareCompression:   Whether the component will use software compression.

This configuration value determines whether or not the component uses software compression for the modem connection. If IgnoreSoftwareCompression is False, the component ignores the value of SetSoftwareCompression, and it sets the software compression state based on the RAS phonebook setting or the default setting.

UseCustomScripting:   Tells the component to use custom script DLLs.

This configuration setting specifies that the component should invoke a custom-scripting DLL (dynamic link library) after establishing the connection to the server. The component can invoke the DLL only if all of the following conditions are met: UseCustomScripting is specifically set to True. A custom-scripting DLL is correctly registered with the system. The CustomScript option is specified in the phonebook entry. Note: This option is not supported in Windows 2000 and NT.

UsePrefixSuffix:   Whether or not to use the dialing prefix and suffix in the phone book.

If this is value is set to True, the component will use the prefix and suffix that are stored in the RAS phonebook. If it is False, the component will ignore the prefix and suffix.

UseRemoteDefaultGateway:   Whether or not the entry should use the default gateway on the remote network.

UseRemoteDefaultGateway is used when creating a new entry. By default, this value is True, and it tells the entry created that it should forward data that cannot be sent on the local network to the dial-up connection.

Note: This option is valid only when a local area network connection and dial-up connection both exist simultaneously.

VPNType:   Sets the VPN Type when creating entries with NetDial.

The supported values include the following:

0 VPN_DEFAULT
1 VPN_PPTP
2 VPN_L2TP
3 VPN_SSTP

Note: This configuration setting is available only in .NET.

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to True to mask sensitive data. The default is True.

This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to False, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to True tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

This setting is set to False by default on all platforms.
