Scripting for the GroupWise Async Gateway

A script can be included with the Async Gateway. This feature extends many aspects of the
gateway. To familiarize you with this functionality, some instances where scripting is useful are
included in this section.
Scripting can be used to configure the Async gateway to perform X.25 network logins in order to
utilize third-party X.25 networks for cheaper international connections. The gateway can also be
configured to attempt a less expensive route and then fall back to more expensive routes if the call
cannot be completed through a cheaper route.
Long phone numbers (for example, strings that include credit card numbers) can now be dialed via
a script.
Scripts can be used to handle any pre-call dialing necessary to satisfy some PBX environments.

Script File Details

A script file is a sequence of statements and possibly comments that the gateway automatically
detects and uses.
A default script can be created to govern all connections. Link-specific scripts can also be
generated. If both a default script and a link-specific script exist, the link-specific script overrides
the default script for the specific link. Consequently, it is possible to create a default script to
handle most links and then create link-specific scripts for any exceptions.
The term "link" refers to a domain connection defined within ConsoleOne
each link can be found in the \domain\wpgate\gateway\gwout\.directory Wherever possible, the
gateway uses the connection name (defined within ConsoleOne) as the directory name. However,
if a directory with that name already exists, the gateway creates a unique directory name.
