Communicating with other applications
Using the Ping() method to test the connection
The Ping() method simply echoes a response. This is especially useful during early
development for testing the communication path to VTel. Since this is a non-destructive
internal command, you do not need a valid login. However, since Contact Engine servers
also respond to this command, a valid login allows you to quickly test communication to
both VTel and major Contact Engine servers. For more information about pass-through
requests, see
During later use, an external application can occasionally use the Ping() method to
validate the connection during periods of low activity, as shown in this example:
[VTel.Ping()][45]
[VTel.Ping.response(,)][45]
