Use the IBM Settings tab of the Host Profiles dialog box to configure the creation of a workstation ID for mobile devices connecting to an IBM host. The workstation ID includes static characters and the following switches, which are used to capture dynamic data that is 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 Wavelink Avalanche terminal ID of the mobile device. (If the mobile device does not have an Avalanche Enabler, then this parameter is not valid.)
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.
The IBM Settings tab only appears you have configured the host profile for an IBM-type emulation in the Host tab.
