Hello all,

I'm a decently experienced programmer. I have taken classes in C++ up to Data Structures. However, I have no experience in the industry. I recently took a non-paid internship and my first assignment is to write a program for a hi-phone. I'm supposed to use a PC to set up call forwarding.

I feel like I'm banging my head into a brick wall. Programming-wise, this is an easy assignment. It's just a few if statements and maybe a couple of while loops. The problem is I don't know how to tailor my program for the hi-phone. How do you actually communicate with a piece of hardware using computer code? I've found a few obscure references to a library of functions I would call for the program. Someone help me please, I don't know where to go from here!

This is the developers website: Way2call Communications : Developers : Hi-Phone Desktop Software development kit SDK

The intent of an SDK is to make it so you can perform these communications. When you downloaded the SDK, it should have come with documentation of some kind, namely an API. The documentation API will tell you how to communicate with the device. I haven't downloaded and looked at it, since I don't have nor want a membership on their site, but all that should work fine. Look around the download for a file called "doc" or something similar.

I found the SDK and it contained a few doc folders in there. It's a lot read but it looks like it has what i need. I hope I'm good but I'll post if I get into trouble again. Thank you!
