Overview

This control provides a way for client applications to connect to a server using Microsoft Windows Remote Access Services (RAS). To use this control, the dial-up networking software must be installed on the local system. For access to the Internet, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and configured. The control may configured to use either the SLIP or PPP protocols, depending on the requirements of the service provider. Refer to your system documentation for information about installing and configuring dial-up networking on your system.

For those applications which may be used in a mobile environment, or otherwise require remote network access, the Dialer control provides a convenient interface to this service. Connections can be established and discontinued under the direct control of the program, rather than requiring that the user execute another program before starting your application.

Requirements

The SocketTools ActiveX Edition components are self-registering controls compatible with any programming language that supports COM (Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 you must have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your development tools.

This control is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service pack and all critical updates available for the operating system.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ActiveX controls. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions of the Windows operating system.

Distribution

When you distribute an application that uses this control, you can either install the file in the same folder as your application executable or as a shared component in the appropriate system folder. If you install the control in the system folder, it is important that you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it must be registered. If you install the control in the same folder as your executable, it is recommended that you use registration-free activation or COM redirection to ensure that the correct version of the control is loaded by the application.
