Gcom SyncSockets Developer Kits

Gcom offers SyncSockets Developer Kits (SDKs) for the Windows, Linux, Solaris, and QNX development environments that contain the:

• SyncSockets API - A Gcom-proprietary repository of C functions (and their Java equivalents)...
  • To create and use SyncSockets/TCP communications
  • Built on top of sockets to give it a TCP/IP-based look and feel
• SyncSockets header files

Gcom Data Tunneling Developer Kits

Gcom offers Data Tunneling Developer Kits (SDKs) for the Windows, Linux, Solaris, and QNX development environments that contain the Data Tunneling API - A Gcom-proprietary repository of C functions (and their Java equivalents)...

• Used by a developer to create a custom application
• Built on a standard sockets library (an industry-standard repository of C functions to create and use IP communications) to give it a TCP/IP-based look and feel
• Offering a wide variety of payload delimiter formats called encapsulations

Gcom SyncSockets Tutorial Kit

Gcom offers a tutorial document and accompanying tutorial program for developers who want to...

• Modify an existing communications application...
• To utilize the SyncSockets API...
• To interface to a Gcom Protocol Appliance (GPA 2G) or a Gcom Protocol Kit (GPK)...
• To interact with another device that uses legacy protocols such as X.25, SNA, LU 6.2, or Bisync.

The purpose of the kit is to illustrate:

• The use of Gcom's SyncSockets API
• How to structure a program to handle multiple connections using the Unix system poll function

The tutorial program is not intended to be a useful SyncSockets application in and of itself. It simply:

• Generates data patterns and sends them to another device using the SyncSockets API.
• Or receives blocks of data and echoes them back to their originator.

These functions although useful for building a test program and illustrating the SyncSocket API, are not generally useful for production applications.

Gcom SNMP MIBs

Gcom offers a range of SNMP MIBs that make it easier:

• For developers to integrate Gcom components into an overall solution
• For system administrators to monitor legacy communication information through standard monitoring/management tools

Each Gcom MIB provides functionality for SNMP Gets and Traps.

Use the following SNMP MIBs files with any standard SNMP manager. Consult your SNMP manager's user manual to learn how to import and compile these MIB files.

Note: Beginning with the Gcom 2.0 software release, current MIBs are also installed to the /usr/lib/gcom/snmp/mibs directory.
