A TE Emulation Settings Configuration payload sends emulation parameters to the TE Client installed on a Smart device. The emulation parameters are global (not host-specific), so you can only send one payload of this type to each device.
A TE emulation settings configuration payload has the following options:
|
Enter key swapped |
Uses the Enter key as Send instead of Field Exit. This option does not affect the keys on the TE virtual keyboards. |
|
Enable free cursor |
Allows the user to move the cursor into protected areas of the screen after they use the keyboard to toggle Free Cursor mode. |
|
Oversized scanning |
Determines what to do if scanned data is too large for the entry field. |
|
Retry Workstation ID |
Allows the TE Client to retry the workstation ID with a letter appended to it. |
|
Use Enter as Reset |
Uses the Enter key as a Reset key if the terminal is in an error state. |
|
Initial Caps Lock state |
Sets the keyboard to open with Caps lock on when enabled. |
|
Host message line (Android only) |
Assigns the screen row that contains host messages. A value of 0 ignores host messages. If the value specified is more than the number of lines on the screen, it will be reduced by three lines. For example, if you set this value to 27 and then switch to a 80x24 screen, it is treated as 24. |
|
Auto Send Scans |
Automatically sends to the host after a barcode is scanned. |
|
Backspace Sends Delete |
Sends a delete <7F> instead of a backspace <08> when the backspace key is pressed. |
|
Ignore 8-bit Received Control Codes |
Treats 8-bit control codes as extended characters. |
|
New Answer Back |
Displays a string on the mobile device when it receives an ENQ from the host. It supports the following variables: • %m - %r representing the six octets of the MAC address. • %a - %d representing the four octets of the IP address. • %s representing the session number. • %t representing the terminal ID (Avalanche only). For example, if you want the response to an ENQ to be the full MAC address, use: |
|
VT Line Mode |
Simulates line mode behavior for hosts that do not support it. |
|
Local Echo |
Specifies whether the terminal uses local echo to reflect what is sent to the host. |
|
Initial Caps Lock State |
Sets the keyboard to open with Caps lock on when enabled. |
|
Telxon Sequences |
Supports Telxon escape sequences from the host. |
|
Telxon Special Scan Terminator |
Sets a Telxon terminator appended to scanned data. |
|
Scan Terminator |
Sets information appended each time scanned data is entered. |
|
Server Address |
The address of the TE License Server. |
|
Server Port |
The port the License Server will be using to provide licenses. |
|
Site ID |
The Site ID to use when requesting licenses from the License Server. This is only required when you have configured the License server to use Site IDs. |
|
Add |
Allows you to use a macro to replace a key with another key. |
|
Timing Mark |
Sends timing marks to the host to determine if the session is still alive. |
|
Log Activity |
Creates a log of network activity for the session. The log is stored in the first listed mounted storage on the device (not part of the root file system). This may be either internal storage or an SD card. |
|
Log Max Size |
The maximum size of the session log file (kB). When the log reaches its max file size, the current contents are written to a backup log file and a new log file is started. If a backup log file currently exists, it is overwritten. |
|
Advanced Password |
Sets the password for configuring host profiles from the device. |
|
Configuration Password |
Sets the password for configuring emulation parameters from the device. |
|

Locks screen to default orientation for device. |
|
Fixed Screen |
Each time a screen is received from the host, the screen is set to display row 1, column 1 in the upper left corner. |

Silent Mode |
Disables all TE Client beeping. |
To create a TE emulation settings payload:
1 From the Profiles tab, click New Payload in the Available Payloads panel.
2 The Payload dialog box appears. Select the All option and then click TE Emulation Settings Configuration.
3 The emulation parameters appear. Parameters are organized by the tabs on the left. Configure the payload and click Save.
To apply the settings on devices, add the payload to an Application Configuration profile and apply the profile to a folder. Once you have performed a deployment, licensed devices assigned to that folder receive the settings the next time they check in. If a device is unlicensed, print the QR code associated with the folder and scan it with the device to configure the Client. For information on printing the QR code associated with a folder, see
