TE Host Profile Configuration Payload (Android/iOS)

The name of the host profile.

The emulation type that the mobile device uses when connected to the host system.

The IP address or host name of the host system to which the mobile device will connect. To prompt a device user for all or part of the address, use a variable delineated by %. Variables can be used in DNS names or IP addresses. For example:

192.168.42.%Store Number%

The text that is inside the % indicators is the information that appears in the prompt on the device. In the above example, the prompt on the device would ask the user for "Store Number". If the user provides the store number 123, the Client attempts to connect to 192.168.42.123.

The TCP port number on which the host system is listening for emulation requests from Clients.

Indicates whether the TE Client should only connect to the host through a ConnectPro or TermProxy server.

Uses SSL/TLS to encrypt the information sent to the host. There is no additional software for SSL/TLS on the Android device, but the host must be configured for SSL/TLS.

When you enable SSL/TLS encryption, you must use a certificate. Select the certificate using a TE SSL Certificate payload. After you have configured a certificate payload, you can select the certificate in the dropdown menu for the host profile.

Uses SSH to encrypt the information sent to the host. There is no additional software necessary to use SSH on the device, but the host must be configured for SSH.

The certificate the device should use for SSL. In order to associate a certificate with the host profile, create a TE SSL Certificate payload first.

The width of the Client display in columns.

The height of the Client display in rows.

Limits the display to white text on a black background.

Not currently implemented.

An ID for mobile devices connecting to an IBM host. The ID may include static characters and the following switches, which are used to capture dynamic data specific to each mobile device:

• %a - %d. Captures specific octets of the IP address of the mobile device. For example, use %a%b%c%d to capture all four IP octets of the address of the mobile device, or use %d to capture only the last octet of the IP address of the mobile device.

• %m - %r. Captures specific octets of the MAC address of the mobile device. For example, use %p%q%r to capture the last three octets of the MAC address of the mobile device.

• %s. Captures the session number.

• %t. Captures the Avalanche terminal ID of the mobile device.

A workstation ID can be 1-20 alphanumeric characters plus switches, but IBM hosts usually truncate workstation IDs that are more than 10 characters. The workstation ID should not begin with a numeric character.

 A Telnet negotiation string for the host connection. A Telnet negotiation string is used to identify a mobile device to a host system and to present a Client with the appropriate emulation options. The host system can then supply information to the mobile device based on Telnet negotiation string (for example, menus or display options). The string can be 1-20 alpha-numeric characters.

The Client attempts to connect to the specified host each time the Client is launched.

Sets whether or not to use tunneling. If you are using 5250 emulation with SSH, you must use SSH tunneling.

The IP address or host name for SSH tunneling.

The TCP port number for SSH tunneling.

The username for SSH.

The version number of the TermProxy or ConnectPro server.

The IP address or host hame of the proxy server.

The TCP port number on which the proxy server is listening for emulation requests from Clients.

Indicates when the ConnectPro or TermProxy server should terminate the connection to the host.

Possible Values:

• Never. The proxy server never terminates the session established with the host. The Client is responsible for terminating the session.

• On Network Error. The proxy server terminates the session with the host when a network error occurs, such as a loss of network connectivity.

• On Session Exit. The proxy server terminates the session with the host when the session is terminated by the Client.

• Always. The proxy server will terminate the session with the host on a network error or when the session is terminated.

Specifies if the Client will attempt to reconnect if the session with the proxy server is lost unexpectedly and the Client has not received a disconnect message from the proxy server.

Specifies the reconnect string that the mobile device should use when connecting to the host. (Alternately, you may configure reconnect strings in TermProxy or ConnectPro.)

Specifies whether the TE Client should use SSL/TLS to connect to the proxy server or alternate Telnet host. (TermProxy 2.x does not support SSL/TLS connections.)

The SSL certificate to use to connect to the proxy server.

Uses a custom encryption algorithm to encrypt data between the device and the proxy server.

The user name the Client should use when connecting to the host.

The password the Client should use when connecting to the host.

A program/procedure that should run when the Client connects.

The name of the menu you want displayed when the Client connects.

The name of a library the Client should navigate to when it connects.

The user name prompt that the host system sends.

The response that the mobile device should send when it receives the user name prompt.

The password prompt that the host system sends.

The response that the mobile device should send when it receives the password prompt.

The command prompt that the host system sends.
