You need to use the KICKSTART file that's bundled in the xx-client to get the ball rolling if it was never used with the WF.

Where do I find this KICKSTART in sss files?
I've just checked the whole page but can't see any kickstart file...I am sure that it is some where there ..do I have to put some figures..if so what??
Tnx
Hi Cowboy:
First I should clarify if you are using the XX-Client for Windows in the link below or a earlier version of it. I'm guessing maybe your not, as when you open the file after unzipping it, its right there, you can't miss it. I'm using this client with my VS 9000 and its working fabulously. I'm going to try it with my VS Ultra and my CNX's as well when I get a chance. This latest version is very simple to setup and configure. If you need any help your more than welcome to PM me.

I used the P$ info.
after the 4 I hit the right arrow cursor came down...and exit and save....Now I have a screen saying client ready waiting for requests...nothing is happening! Now I have to find KICKSTART file...and I have no idea where it would be....Shark said it was bundeled in xx-client ...Guys I appreciate all the HELP...you all are great. Thanks.
Tnx. Sharky...I got it...
Here is what I see.....XX-Client Release v2.4.162 Buiold: 982 by GooFather
[-CLI-] Waiting for requests.
Too many requests are showing up...but no rolling numbers or Pictrure...
Ok so you are using the correct client and it sounds as though you found the Kickstart. Next I would have to ask if you configured both the server and the XX-Client correctly because, something obviously is not right. Of the seven items in the folder for the client, with Caid being the first one, you need to make adjustments to Servers the 5th and the XX-Clint being the last one.
One thing to note and very important when inputting the info for the server, is that you remove the number sign # at the beginning of the line, otherwise it won't work.

NULL MODEM.....
So besides the buttom line of the form...which contains the line where you put the P$ info...I have to fill out some other lines???
Is that what you tell me?? If so..My Dear Fellow, this Old Man willl be very confused.... But I do not give up easly, so I am going to try....Thanks for the great HELP...Sharky.........DISHUSER must be rolling his eyes...
serial_port=COM1
serial_speed=19200
server_timeout=10
server_retries=1
receiver_protocol=1
ignore_caid=0
background_execution=0
Null Modem cables look like straight serial cables and the only way you can tell the difference by looking is most Null Modem cables are marked with "NM" or "Null Modem". If your cable is not marked, the only way you can tell them apart is with a multi-meter or continuity tester. With a straight thru serial cable, pin 2 should lead to pin 2 and pin 3 should lead to pin 3.
A null modem cable pin 2 should lead to pin 3 and pin 3 should lead to pin 2.
Here's a video you can watch that helps explain it.Just cut and paste the link above into your browser and give it a watch.Code:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kznw12Xd_Yk
In addition to the file that has your P$ info which is labeled (Servers.ini) and remember again to remove the # sign in front of your info, you also need to make sure the info supplied by ANGEL is correct in the XX-Client.ini file, this being the last file in the XX=Client folder.So besides the bottom line of the form...which contains the line where you put the P$ info...I have to fill out some other lines??? Is that what you tell me?? If so..My Dear Fellow, this Old Man will be very confused....:no idea: But I do not give up easily, so I am going to try....Thanks for the great HELP...Sharky.........DISHUSER must be rolling his eyes...
As you can see in the XX-Client.ini file there are many lines of text that have a number # sign in front of the text. Below that is the command for that step you want the computer to perform without the number # sign.
The number # sign is placed in front of lines of text as a comment, so there will be NO action taken by the computer. You will note that there are lines in the XX-Client.ini file without a number sign, you need to make sure, as Angel pointed out that this info is reading correctly, if not make the changes to these lines as was noted. Once it is, SAVE this info by selecting FILE and then SAVE.
Hope this makes sense, trying to make it as simple as I can.
P.S. I'm used to dealing with the old folks, as my dad is 85 and I have him up and running, though I must say I did the set up for him. I do get him to make changes when needed and honestly there can be some trying moments at times. Good thing I have very good patience. LOL.

First Thank you both..
Yes Angel I have the same thing...as you posted...
Sharky...number signs are removed....
Here is what I see NOW...
"start with xx-client"
____________________________
Connectivity to server
successfully connected to server
loggin successful [caID:1816]
waiting for requests.......
"waiting for which request...this is the part that I can not understand. If logging is successful, why don't I see the numbers?"
If I want to start with kickstart it says unable to connect COM1...
PS: It says NM on the cable head...
