IntraSwitch CDR Entry Scripting???

[MCP2000]

Does anyone know of a way, through ASA or otherwise, to automate the process of inputting extensions into the intraswitch CDR?

We have a lot of extensions in a lot of locations, and trying to do them manually is a serious pain!!

Thanks for the help!

The only way to do this (that I know of) is to do an excel spreadsheet. List the stations that you need to add to the intra switch CDR. Then in ASA do an import. You may have to play with the format in excel a little, but it is quite a time saver.

Well, that sounds easy enough, but the version of ASA that I have doesn't have an option for "intraswitch CDR" in the drop-down list for the Import applet.

If you have that option, could you tell me which version you are using? Thanks

I am also running a older version and cannot do it. That would have been the only option that I know of.

Sorry I coundn't help.

You can use an excel spreadsheet and the "concatonate" command to write a procom script. It will probably take you a half hour or so to learn the Procom scripting commands but procom can accomplish what you are asking.

transmit "1001 ^[[B"
pause 1
transmit "1002 ^[[B"
pause 1
transmit "1003 ^[[B"
pause 1

etc...........

^[[B sends a down curser, but you would probably be better off looking up "TAB" so you can fill the entire page.

To build the script in excel, make your 1st column a list of odd numbers 1,3,5,7,9, etc. make your 2nd column >transmit "<. make the 3rd column your list of extensions. make your 4th colum > ^[[B<. make your 5th column a concatonate formula to add the text from column 2-4.

Further down on the spreadsheet, make a list of even numbers 2,4,6,8,10, etc in the 1st column. Put <PAUSE 1> in the 2nd column.

Finally, sort your spreadsheet by column 1 and you'll get something looking like:

transmit "1001 ^[[B"
pause 1
transmit "1002 ^[[B"
pause 1
transmit "1003 ^[[B"
pause 1

to cut & paste into procomm.

Hi all,
I'm trying to convert a PROCOM script to a VB script and here are some lines I have to convert:

Dos Cmd HIDDEN
transmit "text text text"

Can I convert this to VB by using the follwing:

retPID = Shell (Cmd, vbHide)
AppActivate retPID
retVal = SendKeys ("text text text")
