5250 and 3270 Options
Emulation parameters define how the TE Client behaves while it is connected to a host. This includes sounds and special key functions, as well as the passwords for configuring the Client.
Depending on the emulation type, there are different options available when configuring emulation parameters. The following options may be available:
|
Enter Key Swapped |
Uses the Enter key as Send instead of Field Exit. This option does not affect the keys on the TE virtual keyboards. |
|
Enabler 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. |
|
Backspace Key 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: • %m - %r representing the six octets of the MAC address. • %a - %d representing the four octets of the IP 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: |
|
VT Line Mode |
Simulates line mode behavior for hosts that do not support it. |
|
Initial Caps Lock State |
Sets the keyboard to open with Caps lock on when enabled. |
|
Handle Telxon Sequences |
Supports Telxon escape sequences from the host. |
|
Local Echo |
Specifies whether the terminal uses local echo to reflect what is sent to the host. |
|
Scan Terminator |
Sets information appended each time scanned data is entered. |
|
License Server Address |
The address of the License Server. |
|
License Server Port |
The port the License Server will be using to provide licenses. |
|
License Server Site ID |
The Site ID to use when requesting licenses from the License Server. |
Key macros allow you to use a key sequence on the device to send a macro sequence, a different scan code, or perform a local function. The format of a key macro should be:
CODE:[key sequence or \CODE]
Where CODE is the scan code for the key sequence, and everything following the : is the macro. You can use characters or scan codes in the macro.
Examples:
0008:\0020
In this example, pressing the backspace key (0008) will send a space (0020).
0001:username\000Dpassword\000D
In this example, pressing CTRL + A (0001) will send “username” Enter “password” Enter.
Wavelink offers a key macro generator to assist in formatting macros and creating escape sequences, which can be found on the Wavelink Community.
|
Add New Key Macro |
Allows you to use a macro to replace a key with another key. |
|
Use Timing Mark Heartbeat |
Sends timing marks to the host to determine if the session is still alive. When set to Yes, the Client detects terminated sessions and automatically re-establishes a connection to prevent data loss. |
|
Log Network 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 File Max Size (kB) |
The maximum size of the session log file. 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. |
| Signal Quality Threshold |
Sets a required minimum signal quality for devices connected to a network. Enter a signal strength value between 0 and 100, where 0 poor and 100 is excellent. When the wireless signal on a device drops below the specified quality value, the device's ability to interact with the host is inhibited. By default, this is set to 0. |
|
Advanced Password |
Sets the password for configuring host profiles. |
|
Configuration Password |
Sets the password for configuring emulation parameters. |
|
Auto Send Scans |
Automatically sends to the host after a barcode is scanned. This option is for 5250 and 3270 emulation only. |
