Hello Developers

I have a case with a customer who needs to control a codec using an HTML page, something that is similar to what we have with remote expert, however due to scale and endpoints supported RE is not an option…

The user should be able to :

dial a destination (the string to be dialled will be embedded in the html button)
Dial again to conference someone else (for example a record button to invoke TCS with Multisite)
Disconnect
Preferably showing the status of the codec  (in call/ offline/ etc) to change the layout of the page accordingly.
How doable is this using HTML and xcommand ?  What are the integration components that need to be involved? The codec to be used is an SX20.

the HTML page is basically a page in an existing application that is used accross the organization, so this will be used to control multiple codecs (depending on the signed in user/location) to determine what codec to be controlled.

regards

Hi Ahmad,

xcommands would have to be sent over SSH or Telnet, so it's not the easiest way of doing what you want. I recommend you to use the XML API instead. As an example, here's the command for dialling someone using HTTP GET:

http://ENDPOINT_IP/formputxml?xmldoc=<Command><Dial><Number>URI</Number></Dial></Command>

All you need to know is in the following document:

Happy coding!
Thomas
