Control Axon with VB or command line

Juki777

Hi to all,

Is there a way for me to control Axon via the command line or VB code ? I'm trying to hang up a line programatically. Does anyone knows how to do this ??

I wasn't very specific earlier. Sorry about that. I'm trying to set up a system where a SQL server is monitoring Axon call logs. I want that server to poll the active calls every minute and if the call time has expired to request Axon to hang up the call (specific line). I wanted to know if there was a way to have the call hang-up done by using a script (batch file, VB etc...).

I will be using a VOIP provider , if that make a difference...

Thanks in a advance for the help

Well I have good and bad news.

The good news is, there is something called the 'Unified API' NCH has developed to help developers have more control over many of NCH's applications. Axon is shown as one of the compatible applications for this, and the API web page goes all the way to give this example: "What if you want to setup an extension in Axon for a specific time? Simply using the Windows Scheduler and the Unified API to send a command to Axon informing it to setup the appropriate extension."

The other good news is the API kit has pre-written examples for all sorts of programming languages, including VB.

The bad news is, I cannot find a single reference to the API on the Axon page, nor can I find any documentation on what commands are available for controlling Axon. The Unified API page says that there should be documentation on how to use the API on the web page for that software, but Axon's page has no such link.
