- README - ADSP SAMPLE
-
-
- GENERAL:
- This sample shows how to use ADSP endpoint and send text
- information between ADSP sockets. It is a more recent
- version of the original ADSP sample distributed by DTS.
-
-
- ENVIRONMENT:
- NTK 1.01 -- won't work with ancient platforms files
-
-
- How to test this out:
- Get a good terminal emulator that handles Comm Toolbox tools,
- and get the AppleTalk ADSP Tool. Inside the Connection menu,
- specify:
-
- Connection Type: ADSP
- Local Name: Ralph
- Zone: (whatever your current zone is)
-
- Connection type corresponds to the Type specifier in the
- address data (ADSP), and name to the name field.
-
- Here's an example:
-
- addressData: "Ralph:ADSP@LlamaZone";
-
- Here "Ralph" is the Local Name, and "ADSP" is the
- Connection Type. The Zone can be hardwired, or feel free to
- use the * notation for the current zone. If you want to
- write a real application, consult the docs on how to use the
- Newton Chooser for finding ADSP servers.
-
- Then after config, do a Wait for Connection in order to set
- the terminal emulator into server mode, and start the
- connection from the Newton.
-
- I've noticed that if you close the connection from Newton the
- terminal emulators switch over to closed mode, so you maybe
- need to set the emulator program back to Wait mode every time
- before you want to connect again.
-
- Enclosed are ClarisWorks and MacTerminal files with the right settings.
-
-
- OTHER INFORMATION GOOD TO KNOW:
- Read the Manuals and the Q&A Communication file. Read it.
- Do not anger the ADSP endpoint, do not send a lot of stuff,
- neither make many :Output() calls in a row. Thou shall respect
- :AddDelayedAction(). Thou shall call CloseAppleTalk() when finished,
- and yea call :SetInputSpec() instead of setting nextInputSpec, except
- before :Abort(), when thy parameters shall be NIL. Nil is the value,
- and the value shall be nil. Zero is right out.
