Emulation Parameters

Change how the Client interacts with the host using the Configuration Manager utility, which provides an organized list of parameters that you can modify. These may include COM port usage, display, logging, or scanner options.

Use the product configuration utility or the TE Client Avalanche software package to access the Configuration Manager. Use the Configuration Manager to modify the emulation parameters and save it to a new configuration file. When you download the new configuration file to the mobile device, the existing configuration file is overwritten.

Emulation parameters can be applied globally for all host connections, or set on a per-host basis:

• Global Emulation Parameters. Global emulation parameters apply to all of the host profiles with which you have configured a Client. When you choose to modify global emulation parameters, you access and use Configuration Manager to modify the Termcfg.bin configuration file. Configuration Manager displays the name of the file that it is modifying in the title bar.

• Per-host Emulation Parameters. Per-host emulation parameters apply only to a specific host profile. Any parameters changed on a per-host basis will override global parameters. You can access the emulation parameters for a specific host profile through the Host Profiles dialog box. When you choose to modify per-host emulation parameters, you access and use Configuration Manager to modify the Hostcfg.bin configuration file. Configuration Manager displays the name of the file that it is modifying in the title bar.

Per-host parameters are a subset of parameters. Not all TE Client emulation parameters are available for modification on a per-host basis.

The left pane of the Configuration Manager displays the emulation parameters that you can modify. The emulation parameters are grouped by category. When you select a parameter in the left pane, information about the parameter displays in the right pane.

Emulation Parameter Information

Access the Configuration Manager either through Avalanche or ActiveSync, depending on the method you use to install the Client.

If you want to copy emulation parameters from one device configuration (or Avalanche package) to another, you can export them. For instructions, see Exporting and Importing Settings.
