/RSIM=<address>

This option sets the address to simulate.

/RDIR=<directory>

This option sets the directory to use for the simulation. The default

directory is the current directory. Radio simulators must poi nt at the

same directory in order to be able to communicate with each other.

Simulating email

Sending and receiving email through the MESSAGE.DLL requires a

service book entry; the only way to get a service book entry onto the

simulated RIM Wireless Handheld is to register with RIM server

software. In turn, this requires a RIM Wireless Handheld with an active

account.

The easiest way to register your simulated RIM Wireless Handheld

device is to use your RIM Wireless Handheld as a modem; you can then

software.

If your application uses the Radio API calls directly, you don't need to

server is only required if your application uses the calls from the

Messaging API.

Radio simulation control panel dialog box

When the /RDIR=<ADDRESS> or /RSIM=<directory> options are used,

the dialog box for controlling network traffic is automatically made

visible. This dialog box can also be invoked, or brought t o the

foreground, by selecting Radio simulator control panel from the Simulation

menu.

The specifics of the radio simulation control panel dialog box depend

upon the wireless network you are using. See the Radio API Developer's
