API multiplatform from townet

back from a command, are ever integer numbers, but this ones doesn’t start from the number zero, like working in

telnet. To set the address of an ethernet port, for example, you may need to execute a print command to read all the

id’s, and then to execute the “set” command passing the id of the line you really want to change. All the commands

needs to be launched from the root of the command’s tree, so “/ip/address/print” is a valid command, while the two

commands “/ip/address” and “print” can’t be separated. To separater the parts of the commands tou needs to use a

slash “/” instead of the space, used in the telnet interface.

To see if there are other differences you can read the documentation of mikrotik api interface at the following

DLL MKAPI, TO CONTROL MIKROTIK BOARDS

The mikapi.dll is a dynamic loadable library based on mikrotik api, and allows to connect to a mikrotik board from

pratically all the languages under windows. Due to the fact that MkApi is based on the mikrotikboard class and that a

DLL is a set of functions and not a set of classes, the DLL hide the MikApi object and shows a list of functions to

AnsiString mk_parse_par(AnsiString stream, char* par, char* dest); AnsiString mk_parse_line(char* reply);

AnsiString mk_login(AnsiString remote, AnsiString user, AnsiString pass); AnsiString mk_command(AnsiString

text); AnsiString mk_xcommand(AnsiString text); void mk_start_icommand(AnsiString cmd); AnsiString

mk_icommand(); AnsiString mk_end_icommand(); void mk_close();

This functions works exactly like the same functions of the original MkApi library. To connect to more than one

board it’s possible to close the current connection with the instruction mk_close, and then to open a new one. This

function is not necessary when the class MkApi is used directly because the mk_close is directly called when the

object is deallocated.
