Protocols supported on serial lines: FAB, ASTET, Row 24 and OBC.

Among others following applications can be realized by using FAB Teletext Network API and FAB Teletext Data Generator:

Teletext file format conversion

Transfer of teletext pages from and to Teletext Data Generator or Network Controller

Interactive teletext like SMS Chat

Data broadcast transmission

IP over VBI transmission

The NETAPI also includes the description of the TCP/IP protocol that is used for communication to Teletext Data Generator or Teletext Network Controller.

The following example for VBScript will show how the most important functions can be used to
transfer pages to the FAB Teletext Data Generator:

         dim MyApi
         set MyApi = CreateObject ("FABNetApi.ETTW")
         MyApi.WriteLine 4, 8, "{Yellow}WriteLine call from VBScript"
         MyApi.WriteLine 4, 10, "{Green}Close this window to continue"
         MyApi.WriteLine 11, 11, "{Green}with the script"
         MyApi.Connection = "192.168.0.12"
         MyApi.SendCommand ("REG username,password")
         MyApi.SendCommand ("PUT 123")
