Wavelink Studio COM includes the following components:
• Wavelink Development Library
• Wavelink Widget Extension
• Wavelink Server
• Wavelink Administrator
• Wavelink Startup Utility
• Wavelink Log Reader
• Wavelink Studio Client
• Wavelink Virtual Client
The following sections describe these components in more detail.
The Wavelink Development Library is a COM-based Dynamic Link Library (DLL). With this library, you can develop powerful and efficient wireless applications.
The Wavelink Development Library consists of 8 objects and over 150 methods designed specifically for wireless application development. Some examples of what you can accomplish with the Wavelink Development Library include:
• Building applications that filter barcode inputs based on type and length
• Saving commonly-used application methods directly to a mobile device to create true client/server network efficiency
• Using multi-toned audio indicators to enhance existing wireless applications
The Wavelink Development Library is designed to be easy to use, regardless of which programming environment you prefer. Just include the Wavelink Development Library DLL within your OLE‑compliant programming language—such as Visual C++ or Visual Basic. With that one step, the Wavelink Development Library expands the power of your programming language, giving you the methods and functions you need to create wireless applications.
Wavelink Studio COM also includes a version of the development library specifically for C development in non-OLE compliant development environments. This version’s functionality mirrors the OLE counterpart.
The Wavelink Widget Extension is a plug-in for the Wavelink Development Library that contains all COM widget components of the API.
The Wavelink Server is a system service/command-line application that lets you run your Studio-built applications in real‑time, without a controller or wireless network.
When you start the Wavelink Server, wireless network users can immediately use your applications on their mobile devices.
The Wavelink Administrator is a Windows-based application that includes three utilities to help you manage Wavelink Servers on both a local and remote basis:
• Wavelink Program Manager. This application lets you manage your wireless applications and user accounts. With the Wavelink Program Manager, you can add user IDs and passwords for network security, configure mobile device start-up menus, and limit application access by creating application groups available only to specific accounts.
• Wavelink Authorization Utility. This utility allows you to quickly upgrade the user limit for a Wavelink Server.
• Mobile Device Client install utility. This utility allows you to download the Wavelink Studio Client to both local and remote mobile devices once they connect to their configuration cradles.
The Wavelink Startup Utility is a system service/command‑line application that allows you to manage a Wavelink Server from a remote host.
The Wavelink Log Reader is a Windows-based utility you use to view log files that a Wavelink Server and API generates. With this utility, you can quickly filter log files, allowing you to find the statistical or debugging information you need immediately.
The Wavelink Studio Client is the terminal resident software that unleashes the full computing power of a mobile device. With the Wavelink Studio Client installed, wireless applications perform with client-server efficiency while taking full advantage of all device features.
The Wavelink Virtual Client is a testing application that simulates a mobile device on your desktop. With the Virtual Client, you can accurately run wireless applications without the actual presence of a wireless network. The Virtual Client allows you to test wireless applications under different conditions before you install the application on a wireless network.
