This article covers the Maxetag Interface Integration with CALink in Bepoz.

About

  • Maxetag runs on a MySQL Database. To share bonus points, we must call Stored Procedures are in that MySQL database
  • This means that the Windows computer running BEpoz (at least CALink) must have both network access to the Maxetag Computer and also the MySQL client access drivers loaded and configured
  • The client version used for development was 3.51.12
  • This can be downloaded from the Internet and installed

Prerequisites

  • You will need to create an ODBC Data source on the CALink computer
  • This is done through Data Sources in Administrative Tools in the Control panel (This may vary depending on your Windows Edition)
  • The settings as supplied by Maxetag are:

Database Name: kashe 
Path: (supplied at installation)
User Name: global_BEpoz
Password: global_BEpoz_systems 


  • Once the above steps are followed, you will have a Windows Client computer that has an ODBC configured DSN connection that connects successfully to the Maxetag MySQL host

CALink Settings

Server Type: MaxeTag
MySQL DSN:  Maxetag – This is what you called the DSN above
Till Connection TCP Port: 11005 – This is usually always the setting
Send Dollar Amount: Off
Percent Change: User choice but ypically 100.00 


  • The Bepoz redeem points percent must be 10,000% and the redeem point value $0.01.(the Earn percent would be 400% - 1,000% (4-10 points per $1 )
  • On Startup, CALink must connect to the MySQL Database
    • It will use the System DSN as setup above
  • When CALink is starting, it will attempt to connect to MySQL
    • This timeout is 30 seconds
    • If CALink cannot connect, the screen will not appear for that time
    • When it either connects or times out, the connection status on the CALink screen will show whether it could connect or not
    • Any error message on connecting will be logged in the CALink.txt log file in the BEpoz Shared Data directory
    • If there are any problems, the first place to check is the MySQL Client access
