The TE Client is configured and installed using one of the following methods:
• Wavelink Avalanche. If your mobile device is running the Avalanche Enabler, you can use Avalanche to deploy the TE Client and Client configurations to a mobile device.
• Microsoft ActiveSync. You can install the TE Client configuration utility on a host PC. The configuration utility uses an ActiveSync connection between the host PC and the mobile device to deploy the Client and configurations to the mobile device.
• Third-Party Applications. Wavelink supports some third-party deployment applications. For more information about supported deployments for your device, please see the Wavelink Web site. If you choose to use a third-party application to configure and install the TE Client, please see the documentation for that application for details on this process.
Depending on the TE Client installation and configuration utility that you are using, some tools that allow you to configure TE Client features may not be available. Tools for configuration may include the following:
|
Host Profiles |
A host profile contains all of the required information for a mobile device to connect to a host system, including an alias, IP address, TCP port, and other emulation-specific parameters. The TE Client supports multiple host profiles to allow a user at the device to easily create emulation sessions with various host systems. For information on the options available for a host profile, see Configuring Host Profiles. |
|
Emulation Parameters |
Emulation parameters provide control over many aspects of an emulation session, including key macros, text and screen display, and barcode scanning. You may control the settings of an emulation session on a global level or on a per-host level. For information on setting emulation parameters, see Emulation Parameters. |
|
Script Editor |
You can automate actions for the TE Client using scripting. For example, you might create a login script for users. You may record scripts, or you may use the Script Editor to create new scripts or modify existing scripts. For information on creating scripts for the TE Client, see Scripting. |
|
Screen Reformatter |
The Screen Reformatter (included in TE Client 7.1 and later versions) is an application that allows you to modify the appearance of TE Client emulation screens. You can create a screen layout that includes items you want the mobile device user to see, and does not include items that should not be visible to the user. |
|
Keyboard Creator |
Use the Terminal Emulation Keyboard Creator to modify the standard TE Client virtual keyboards to meet the needs of your production environment. The Keyboard Creator allows you to completely modify the layout of the virtual keyboard for each emulation type. Additionally, import your own graphic files (bitmaps) to create your own unique buttons for the keyboard. |
|
Resource Editor |
The Resource Editor allows you to deploy graphic and sound files to your mobile devices. You may add, modify and deploy any .bmp or .wav file using the Resource Editor. |
|
Localization |
Localization allows you to convert strings of text from one language to another. Use the Localization tool to create conversions, then configure the TE Client to use the appropriate language. For example, you might create support files to convert server strings from English to Spanish. |
|
Import/Export Settings |
If you have already configured a TE Client and you want to use that configuration for other Clients, you can import or export settings. |
