Push Server Test Client

The Push Server Test Client (a.k.a. Pushy) can be used to test if the push server application is working and to help troubleshoot it if it isn't. You can run the test client by selecting Start | All Programs | DuVoice | Utilities | Push server test client.

When you run the application, the first thing it will do is display a dialog (similar to that shown below) informing you whether the primary push server is running and asking if you want the option to run a test server.

Clicking No will cause the test server option to be disabled in the main application window. If the primary server is running, as in the case shown above, you should click No; if it is not running, then you may click Yes.

Warning: Clicking Yes if the primary server is running will not harm anything by itself; however, if you then proceed to actually start the test server, that will disrupt the voice mail service.

If the primary server is running and you click No in the previous dialog (to not allow the test server option), the application will display an additional message box as shown below. Click OK to continue.

Server Configuration

Setting	Description
Name	Name of the machine the application is running on.
IP Address	IP address of the network jack from which all pushes will occur. Regardless of the number of network jacks on the system, only one can be used.
Port	Port number (as configured in System Configuration).

Test Server Configuration

This section defines the settings for the test server; if you selected No when asked whether to allow the test server option, then all settings in this section will be disabled.

Setting	Description
Port	Port number that the test server should use. Defaults to the same port configured for the primary push server, but you can use this setting to override it.
Start	Starts the test server. Do not click Start if the voice mail service is running.
Stop	Stops the test server, allowing you to restart the voice mail service without closing Pushy.

Phones

This section lists the phones which have either auto-subscribed or have been configured for the push service.

Column	Description
Extension	Extension number, as reported by the phone.
Address	IP address at which the phone is located.
Type	Telephone model.

911 List

Phone Tests

Enter the IP address of the phone set you will be testing in the space provided, or select a phone from the Phones list and its IP address will be filled in for you automatically.

Action	Description
Homepage	Causes a homepage screen to be pushed to the phone.
Call	Causes a simulated call screen to be pushed to the phone.
Top Line	Causes a top line message to be pushed to the phone, if supported. This feature may not be available on all phones.
911	Causes a simulated 911 call to be pushed to the phone.
Subscribe Request	Sends a request to the phone asking it to subscribe to the server.
Reload	Reloads the Phones and 911 lists.
Clear	Clears all debug (I/O) windows.

I/O

Pushy provides three debug windows that display the input to and output from the push server.

Window	Description
Push Request	Displays the raw packet sent to the phone requesting a push.
Push Response	Displays the raw packet sent from the phone in response to the push request.
Test Server Data	Displays the data sent to the phone from the push request.

How It Works

In step 2, the phone may respond with a security error or access denied in response to the original request. The typical cause for this is that the system's IP address is not allowed to send push messages, as defined in the phone's 46xxsettings.txt file.
