AcsAPI Library Routines - Connection

Windows:

int ACSConnect(const char * hostname, const HWND hWnd);

Unix/Linux:

int ACSConnect(const char * hostname);

These return the IP Address of DscACS (via asynchronous response ACSAPI_RT_CONNECT), used for later threaded uploads of waves and phone lists.  The return code is an integer representing the context of the connection, used in subsequent calls (Windows), or a success return code.  For all routines below, add a preceding argument of “const int context” on all calls from a Windows application - for example:

Windows (AcsApi32.dll):            int  ACSLMGRStart(const int context,

const char * _campaign);

Unix (acsapi.so):                   int  ACSLMGRStart(const char * _campaign);

(The only exception to this is ACSDecode(), as it does not communicate with the DscACS service.)

void ACSDisconnect();

int ACSDecode(const char * message, void * structure);

int ACSPing();

int ACSPong();

int ACSMessage(char * message);
