Welcome to the zz9.com server

• The program uses UDP messaging to pick up on incoming telephone events. By default, the program keeps and eye open on UDP port number 8090 (future versions will be configurable). You'll need to enter your SPA web admin, and set the "Debug Server" to the IP address of the machine you're running, followed by ":8090". For example, if your desktop machine has an IP of 192.168.1.100, then enter "192.168.1.100:8090" in the Debug Server option. This option in the SPA web admin tool is found under the "System" tab.
  
• The "Debug Level" within the SPA should be set to at least 2. Again, this is accessible from the SPA web interface.
  
• If you don't know what IP address your workstation has, then from XP click "Start" followed by "Run" and type "cmd". When the DOS window appears, type "ipconfig". The IP address of your machine will be displayed.
  
  
• UDP messages aren't usually carried across subnets, so this assumes your PC and SPA are on the same subnet.
  
  
• Once you've downloaded the haclient.zip file, uncompress it, and copy the HAClient.exe file to a directory of your choice (I'd recommend c:\program files or c:\program files\HAClient, but it doesn't really matter). Once you double click on the program it'll start to run, indicated by a small yellow icon of a house in your taskbar. Double click this icon to bring up options (such as size, colour and type of popup message).
  
  
• It should "just work". But as I don't use incoming VoIP, I can't say for sure (which is the reason I want others to test it!). You should see a pop up message the next time your phone rings. If you don't, there is a "Debug UDP to text file" option under the "file" menu, which will help me figure out why it isn't working (this creates a file called DEBUG.LOG in the same directory as the program).
  
  
• In case you're wondering why a) this file is called HAClient, and b) why the version number is 1.1, not 1.0, then it's because although this is the first time this software has been released to the public, I've been using it myself for quite sometime. I do quite a bit with Home Automation, and that's where the HA name comes from. Initially, I used this software to notify of various Home Automation events such as movement in rooms, lights coming on and off etc. I've also used it for Caller ID, but only on a PSTN line using an analogue Caller ID reader connected to a serial port. In that instance the Caller ID information was read by a server application which then broadcast via UDP to the HAClient.
  
  
• Caller ID on the PSTN line assumes you've got this option on from your telephone provider.
  
  
• Any problems, drop me an email. I'd also *really* like to hear from you if you don't have any problems!!
