To export keyboards to Wavelink Terminal Emulation using Wavelink Avalanche, you do not need to have Avalanche licenses to manage devices. Through the mobile device management software, you can use payloads to distribute configurations that devices can locate, download, and install through a scanned QR code.
You can configure multiple TE Host Profile Configuration payloads for each device. You can only deploy one Productivity Pack Configuration payload to each device, which contains one keyboard bundle.
When you deliver a custom keyboard payload to mobile devices, all default keyboards in TE are overwritten and are no longer usable.
For devices not managed by Avalanche, you must print these configuration changes as QR codes for devices to scan.
To export keyboards to the TE Client when the device does not have an Avalanche license:
1 Log in to the Avalanche Console.
2 From the Profiles tab, navigate to the folder where you want the payload created.
In the Avalanche navigation tree, there is a Default device folder. If all of your devices are using the same configuration, you may want to use the Default folder. However, if you have devices using different configurations, create a separate folder for each configuration.
3 Click Add Payload in the Available Payloads panel.
4 The Payload dialog box appears. Select the iOS and Android option, and then the Productivity Pack Configuration payload to upload the keyboard bundle.
5 To use specific keyboards with a host profile, you must also create a TE Host Profile Configuration payload and add the desired keyboard tags. On each keyboard you can enter Keyboard Tags from the Editor panel of the Keyboard Editor, which are used in this payload. Only the custom keyboards on a mobile device containing the tags associated with a host profile payload are used during a session. When no keyboard tags are associated with a host profile, all keyboards will be used in their order of creation in the Keyboard Editor. If multiple keyboards share the same tags entered in this payload, keyboards are given priority based on their order of creation in the Keyboard Editor. For more information about keyboard tags, see Editor Panel.
6 Configure the options as desired and click Save.
7 From the Profiles tab, click Add Profile in the Available Profiles panel.
8 The New Profile dialog box appears. Click Application Configuration.
9 Create a name for the profile, then select the payload or payloads you want to associate with the profile. Save your changes.
10 Select the checkbox next to the name of the profile and click Apply in the Available Profiles panel.
11 Deploy your changes.
12 In the Navigation Tree, click the View button to view the folder details.
13 On the Folder Details page, click Print QR Code.
14 The QR code for the payloads applied to the folder appears in the browser. Print or email the QR code as needed and scan it to download the new keyboards.
The device connects to the Avalanche server and pulls the configuration information associated with the folder. The device is not enrolled in Avalanche and does not appear in the Avalanche inventory.
