Velocity Client Settings Payload (Android)

A Velocity Client settings payload sends settings to the Velocity Client installed on a smart device. The settings in this payload are global (not host-specific), so you can only send one payload of this type to each device.

To create a TE emulation settings payload

1.From the Profiles tab, click New Payload in the Available Payloads panel.
The Payload dialog box appears.

2.Select the iOS and Android option and then click TE Emulation Settings Configuration.
The emulation parameters appear.

3. Configure the payload by selecting the options available through the tabs on the left, and then 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 Configuring Software on Unenrolled Smart Devices.

A Velocity Client settings payload has the following options:

Use local browser when unable to connect to the Velocity Server	Uses the local browser when the Client cannot establish a connection to the Velocity Server.
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: •%a - %d representing the four octets of the IP address. •%m - %r representing the six octets of the MAC 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: %m%n%o%p%q%r
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 (Android only)	Supports Telxon escape sequences from the host.
Telxon Special Scan Terminator (Android only)	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.

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	Restricts access to editing host profiles at the device level. When a password is set, Smart devices prompt the user for a password to edit existing host profiles. If no password is set, users can edit host profiles from the device. If a password is set and no host profiles are deployed to the device from Avalanche, users are prompted to enter this password when they create a new host profile.
Configuration Password	Restricts access to the Settings page at the device level. When a password is set, Smart devices will prompt the user for a password to edit Client settings. If no password is set, the prompt will not display and users can change settings from the device.

Lock orientation	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.
Default Font Size	Sets the zoom level when connected to the host. When this is set to 0, the Client will calculate an optimum size.
Disable pan and zoom	Disables the ability to pan and zoom when connected to a host.
Disable keyboard minimizing	Disables the option to minimize the keyboard.
Keyboard Height (portrait)	Sets the height of the onscreen keyboard as a percentage of the screen when the device is in portrait orientation.
Keyboard Height (landscape)	Sets the height of the onscreen keyboard as a percentage of the screen when the device is in landscape orientation.
Hide Android title bar (Android only)	Hides the Android title bar.

Beep Volume	Sets the beep volume.
Incoming Screen Beep	Beeps when a new screen is sent from the host. This option is for 5250 and 3270 emulation only.
Silent Mode	Disables all TE Client beeping.
