Introduction
Naurtech Emulators and Web Browser allow users to connect to applications running on
IBM3270, AS/400, VT, or Web servers from ANY Windows CE or Windows Mobile handheld
device over ANY wired or wireless TCP/IP data network.
You can use our products to directly communicate with host applications running on legacy hosts
or web servers. No middleware gateway is required. Users can connect and log on to a legacy
host or web application from a handheld Windows CE device, enabling the device to function as a
wireless mobile terminal.
Please note the following about our products:
CETerm is three terminal emulation clients and an industrial Web Browser in a single application
package. You can simultaneously use any combination of terminal emulation and web browser
sessions to connect up to four host applications using 3270, 5250, VT220 or VT100 and HTML
(web) sessions.
Single emulation products (CEVT220, CE5250 and CE3270) only include support for the
respective terminal emulation. All single emulation products include a Web Browser and are
equivalent in all functionality to CETerm.

What’s New is version 5.5
Here is a short list of new features added in version 5.5. In addition, this version includes several
small fixes and enhancements that had been added to the products since the previous major
release.
Support for newer OS versions and Terminal Models. Almost every hardware terminal
manufacturer has released one or more Windows CE based terminal since our last version
release. With version 5.5, we now offer device tailored versions of CETerm for all terminals
from all major hardware manufacturers running the latest Windows CE OS versions. It
includes support for their latest barcode scanner, wireless radio or other terminal
enhancement.
Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol. CETerm now contains a feature rich implementation of the
Secure Shell Protocol. Both SSH-1 and SSH-2 protocols are supported, with a broad range of
encryption and authentication options. Encryptions include AES-256, Blowfish, and Triple-
DES. Authentication can use traditional passwords or public-key infrastructure (PKI). Please
refer to the section on SSH Security for complete details.
Extensive Additions to CETerm Scripting. The CETerm Scripting feature was first
introduced with Version 5.1. Since then we have been adding extensive capabilities and
hardware support. We have integrated RFID hardware, both real and virtual serial ports,
and provided access to many Windows CE operating system features. With Scripting, you
can build a locked down launcher for multiple applications, integrate RFID with a TE
application or automate complex workflows as just a few examples. We use the industry
standard JavaScript language so you won‘t waste time learning a limited proprietary
language. Please see the CETerm Scripting Guide, which is a separate manual from this
one, for a full description of the features.
New Scripting Automation Objects. Here is a partial list of the new automation objects in
CETerm scripting:
1. OS.Event – Named Event access and script launching.
2. OS.File – File read, write, append, listing, copy, etc.
3. OS.Process – Launch and control other programs.
4. OS.Network – Ping, DNS, and FTP access.
5. OS.Window – Find and control running programs.
6. Device.SerialPort – Full integration of peripherals.
7. Device.Keyboard – Keyboard control, system wide HotKeys
8. Device.RFID – Control RFID reading and writing.
Please refer to the CETerm scripting Guide for details.
Additional Web Browser Extensions. The integrated Web Browser now supports
additional HTML META tags, JavaScript extensions and ActiveX controls to build more robust
data collection applications. These extensions allow you to control the device, its peripherals
and application settings directly from your HTML page. It is truly the most robust platform to
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 10
build web based Data Collection applications. We continue to support Symbol Pocket
Browser and Intermec IBrowse Meta tags as well. The Web Browser is available for all
Windows Mobile and Windows CE devices.
RFID Integration. CETerm now fully integrates RFID support using the Scripting Engine to
make the RFID reader available to both TE and web browser sessions. All native capabilities
of the device RFID reader are accessible. The RFID data can be this data may require to be
parsed, validated and possibly reformatted prior to submitting it via a Terminal Emulation or
Web Browser session to the backend host application. Tight integration of CETerm with the
device RFID readers allows for this data processing to happen right on the device, as
opposed to the backend host application or some middleware. This also eliminates the need
to make any changes to the backend legacy host application for RFID enabled solutions.
Keyboard and Key Controls. CETerm contains extensive features to control the hardware
keys on a device. We have recently added features to prevent Windows Mobile from
hijacking function keys (such as the F6 and F7 keys for volume controls on Windows Mobile
devices). We have also added a ―Trap‖ feature to make it easier to select keys for remapping
when the key label is misleading. There are also new features which make it easier to use
phone-style keypads with IBM emulation.
More Network Awareness Features. We continue to strengthen the network awareness of
CETerm. There are new features to allow recovery when a browser session loses
connectivity during a page load. Using these features and Network Alerts for lost RF
connectivity will virtually eliminate dropped sessions without needing an expensive
middleware server. CETerm delivers a simpler operating environment and the lowest cost of
ownership.
Additional Updates. In addition to dozens of other enhancements, there is support for new
device platforms and current Windows CE versions from all major hardware vendors.
Feature Highlights & Benefits
Multiple host sessions
Supports up to FIVE simultaneous host sessions. Interactive, per-
session configuration settings are maintained. Users may connect
with any permutation of 3270, 5250, VT host or Web Browser
sessions.
Hotkeys and menu context are available to jump between these
sessions.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 11
Custom Keyboard mapping
Physical keys on the device can be re-mapped to invoke any
application operation or host key action. Keys can be remapped to:
another key
an application operation such as ―Print‖
a host specific key such as ―F4‖ or ―Field Exit‖
a text string such as ―My input string‖
a null operation (to disable the key)
Full Screen Mode
You can hide the Start Bar, the Application menu and toolbars so
that the end user has no control to navigate away from the
application. In addition you also get two precious rows of screen
real estate as part of your terminal display area.
Device Lockdown / Access Control
Device Lockdown allows administrators to prevent users from
exiting our application. You can hide the Windows CE ―Start‖
button, Start bar and also the application menu and tool bars so
that the whole device display area is occupied by the terminal
display. Administrators can ―lock out‖ users from the operating
system so as to prevent users from being able to change the
application and device configurations. This also prevents users
from running any other application on the device. The device may
be configured to automatically boot into our application and auto-
connect to the host.
Industrial Web Browser
Many customers view Windows Mobile / Windows CE devices as
multi-purpose handheld devices, using which they should not only
access their legacy host applications, but also web based
applications. The integrated Web Browser addresses specialized
data collection functionality requirements, such as key remapping,
device lockdown, RFID and scanner integration etc that are not
possible otherwise.
Scripting Workflow Automation Engine
CETerm includes a full JavaScript engine for both Terminal
Emulation and Browser sessions, which allows you to automate
and extend the behavior of your data collection application. You can
use pre-defined scripts and modify these to customize and your
everyday tasks.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 12
Indicators
Visual Indicators for network RF signal, device battery strength,
keyboard state and browser ―page loading‖ animation can be
configured. You can display, position and control these indicators
for your Terminal Emulation and Web Browser sessions. You can
also configure to receive notification if the RF signal or battery
strength falls below a certain threshold. The same information may
also be displayed as a Keybar button.
Internationalization: Code Pages
All popular Western European languages are supported to display
and input language specific special characters. Single byte
language code pages are provided. Examples of supported code
pages are Swedish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Finnish
etc. Additional languages, which are represented by single byte
code pages, such as Thai, Cyrillic, Greek and Turkish are also
supported.
Multi-Byte Character set: Asia Pacific language support
Support for multi-byte character set (MBCS) languages, such as
Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Thai etc, is
provided only for VT emulation. VT emulations also support the
UTF-8 encoding and Single Byte Character Set (SBCS) encoding to
support other languages such as Greek and Hebrew. Equivalent
support for IBM emulations is not available yet.
Network Aware Features
Users can configure to ―Check network on Connect‖ or ―Check
network on Resume‖ to ensure network availability prior to
establishing a connection if network coverage is lost or if the device
is resuming from a suspended state. Users can be prompted to
return to coverage area if network connectivity is lost while roaming
out of coverage.
For web browser sessions, which are stateless and do not require
persistent session connectivity, users can also enable ―Check
Network before Send‖ to ensure network availability before every
data send operation.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 13
Configurable KeyBar & Context Menus
The configurable KeyBar allows users to customize a set of soft
buttons to control and invoke any host specific keys or application
operation. Users can select from a set of pre-defined KeyBar
templates. In addition they can also configure up to six custom
templates of their own. Users can navigate between a selected set
of KeyBar templates.
A KeyBar can also be made to appear as a Context Menu, which
would appear when you tap and hold the stylus on the terminal
display screen.
Meta keys
Meta keys are special keys that you can configure to act much like
the state keys "Shift", "Alt" and "Ctrl" on a regular keyboard. They
are used together with other keys to activate special actions. Meta
keys can be assigned to hardware keys for use in key remapping.
They are especially helpful on devices with limited number of
physical keys.
Auto-start Sessions
Users may launch multiple host sessions when our application gets
started. This can simply be enabled via session specific checkbox
configuration.
Automatic login
You can easily automate the login process to your host application.
Until now, we had suggested using a pre-recorded macro which
could be configured to launch automatically when a user session
connected to the host application. With version 5.5, we recommend
using scripting instead. An auto-login script can be configured to
launch when a session connects, and then if necessary, prompt the
user for a user id and password. Sample auto-login scripts are
discussed in the Scripting Guide.
HotSpots
A HotSpot is an invisible field on the terminal screen where a user
can tap with a stylus to execute a function. A Hotspot thus allows a
user to interact with the host application with minimal needs for the
special keypads. Instead the user can directly tap on the text in the
terminal display to invoke the desired operation.
The pre-defined HotSpots are static. With version 5.5, Dynamic
HotSpots customized for your host application are easily
implemented using a Script.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 14
Dynamic Cursor View modes
Multiple cursor modes are available to support automatic scrolling,
so that the cursor / input field is visible. The terminal display window
will "track" and follow the cursor. In addition, you can lock a screen
display to a specific row and column. These view modes are
configurable for each session.
Legacy Extensions
All our terminal emulations support proprietary protocols used by
legacy hardware terminal vendors so as to easily migrate
customers to new / upgrade terminals. These include ―Intermec
Extended Commands‖, ―Symbol IBM PRN‖, ―Telxon VT extensions‖
and ―LXE block mode‖ for terminal emulation. They include the
Symbol Palm Web Client, Symbol Pocket Browser and Intermec
iBrowse for Web Browser sessions.
Screen Panning
Screen Panning allows an additional row and column on the display
by providing an alternative to horizontal and vertical scroll bars.
Imagine the host application screen as a large sheet under the
display on the handheld device. Screen Panning allows users to
"tap", ―hold‖ and "drag" the terminal display screen in any direction
to move hidden areas of the host display into view on the handheld
device without the use of scroll bars.
Configurable fonts
Users can easily include new fonts for displaying the terminal text.
Any fixed-width true type font file (.ttf) may be placed on the device
and selected for terminal display. VT emulation also allows
proportional fonts. Font sizes can easily be increased or decreased
form the toolbar with a single stylus tap. Font weight can be
changed as well.
For Web Browser sessions, the font type, size and other attributes
are set in the web page being viewed.
Macro Record and Playback
CETerm has the capability to record input keystrokes for a
connected host session and subsequently play the recorded
macros for easy, automated navigation through multiple host
screens. Only a single macro may be recorded and associated with
one host session. This macro may also be auto-launched upon a
session connection to get "auto-logon" capability.
Macro playback can sometimes be mis-timed due to network
propagation delays and changing host application response times.
With version 5.5, the recommended approach for automating your
tasks is using a Script.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 15
Automated Licensing
Simplifies the software license registration process by querying a
configurable Web server for an XML based registration file. The
license file can also reside locally on the device.
SmartPads
All host applications have specific keyboard requirements. The
Smartpad is a floating button pad, which provides support for
special emulation host keys. Depending upon the current
configured host emulation type, the appropriate Smartpad for that
emulation is displayed. The Smartpad supports all the popular
3270, 5250 and VT host keys.
Color Schemes
A color scheme is a collection of colors mapped to a set of terminal
text display attributes. Users can select from a pre-defined color
schemes or create a custom scheme based upon their preferences.
Non-color displays will default to a Black-on-White or White-on-
Black scheme.
Color schemes only apply to TE sessions. All color display
configuration for web browser sessions is defined by the web page
being viewed.
Cold boot persistence
Windows CE devices are diskless devices, which lose all installed
applications and their registry configuration settings if the device
cold boots or completely looses battery charge. You can be setup
CETerm to self install and restore all device and application
configuration settings. Such setup varies by manufacturer and
terminal.
With the new Scripting Engine, cold boot persistence scripts can be
written specific for each terminal to reduce this setup into a single
key press.
Host Session password
Any host session may be password protected with the user being
prompted for a password when connecting that session.
Device / LU Name support
For IBM emulations (3270 and 5250), logical unit device name
resource configuration is supported. This is used during connection
negotiations.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 16
Integrated Demo modes
Simulated host terminal screens are integrated within our Smart
Clients for evaluation and sales demonstrations. No server
component or network connection is required to run demo modes.
Simply set the host name to ―demo.naurtech.com‖ and connect.
Text Input Tool
For Windows CE devices without keypads, data entry is usually
performed using a stylus with an integrated soft keypad. This
requires the user to spell-type text strings. This is a slow and
tedious process. The Text Input Tool addresses this issue by
allowing users to send text strings to the display window at the
current cursor location, without spell typing. A user can preload
often used text strings in the Input Tool, highlight the string and
―send‖ the selected string to the session display.
VT220 DEC Multinational & NRC support
VT emulations fully support the DEC multinational character sets
and National Replacement Character sets (NRC). This support is
provided for over a dozen western European languages.
VT Line Mode / Block Mode
This is a special optimization for VT host sessions. Data is buffered
locally within the device prior to sending it to the host. Line mode
optimizes usage of the network bandwidth and host resources.
VT Answerback String
This is a configurable text string that certain host applications
require to identify the terminal.
Hot Keys
Predefined hot keys are available to interact with and invoke
emulator operations.

Benefits of Naurtech Emulators & Web Browser
Terminal Emulation remains the well-proven, cost-effective solution for host access and
automatic data collection solutions that result in the fastest ROI. With the proliferation of web-
based applications, the Web Browser is becoming the new standard to access business
processes and data. Our terminal emulator and web browser running on a handheld device
allows users to automate their business processes and to implement productivity solutions.
Here are some benefits of using Naurtech Emulators and Web Browser:
We provide a seamless migration path for accessing legacy green screen and newer web
based applications.
The data collection web browser sessions allow you to write custom applications in
HTML, giving you full control over the device and its attached peripherals. It provides
capabilities to build real world web based applications, which cannot be implemented
using the built in browser, which comes with the Windows CE operating system.
The built-in Scripting engine allows you to customize and automate your workflows for
both terminal emulation and web-based applications.
With our Terminal Emulation client running on the device, users do not have to make any
changes to their existing backend / host applications.
Combined with integrated support for barcode scanners and RFID readers, our TE and
Browser deliver a well-proven, optimized workflow solution for data collection and data
access.
Device tailored versions of our products are available for complete product families of
terminals from every major hardware device manufacturer. We are the only vendor with
such a breadth of offering in choosing a hardware platform.
We support all proprietary extensions that have proliferated within the industry. This
includes ―Extended Commands‖ from Intermec, proprietary TE extensions from Telxon
and Symbol, Block mode from LXE, HTML META tags from Symbol (Pocket Browser)
and Intermec (iBrowse). This gives our customers and partners a complete and concise
growth path
Easy to configure, painless to deploy, simple to manage.
A native smart client running on the device delivers a higher productivity, higher usability
solution. This is because the native client is able to conform to the ergonomics and form
factor of the device while interfacing with the attached peripherals.
You do not require any expensive middleware. No modifications are required to the host
applications.

Installation
All Naurtech Emulators and Web Browser products are packaged as a zip file and distributed
electronically. Once you download the product from our website, follow these instructions to
install the product to your handheld device.
After unzipping the downloaded file on the desktop, you should have the following files in your
local directory
CExxxx.cab
CExxxx.ini
License.txt
yyyy_readme.txt
Setup.exe
ReleaseNotes.htm
where xxxx is the product and platform descriptor for the target CE device. Multiple CAB
files may be present for different CPU targets. [e.g CETerm_WM50PPC_ARMV4I.CAB]
where yyyy is a manufacturer and device descriptor for a "device tailored" version of the
product. It has specific notes pertaining to the device tailored version.
Make sure your handheld device is connected to your desktop via a USB, serial or wireless
802.11x connection.
Make sure you have ActiveSync installed. Version 4.5 is recommended, although you may
also use earlier versions up to ActiveSync 3.7. You can get a free copy from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
Make sure your device is connected to the desktop via ActiveSync.
Run Setup.exe on your desktop.

Quick Start
This section is for advanced users who are comfortable with navigation within Windows CE and
are familiar with host terminal emulation and web browser terminology. Follow these steps to
connect to your host application with minimal configuration setup. For details on various
configuration parameters, it is recommended that you read through corresponding sections later
in the manual.
Install CETerm, CE3270, CE5250 or CEVT220 on to the device. Follow instruction in the
"Installation" section of the manual.
Make sure the device network settings are configured and the device is on the network. If you
are connecting over wireless LAN (802.11B), make sure your device is communicating with
the Access Point.
From the [Start] menu, run the Naurtech CETerm, CEVT220, CE5250 or CE3270.
Select [Session][Configure] from the application menu and select the "host type" that
you wish to connect to; i.e. 3270 mainframe, AS/400 5250 server, VT host or HTML for Web
browser application.
Enter the "Host Address" of the host system that you wish to connect to. This may either be a
DNS name alias or an IP address of the host system or a URL (Universal Resource Locator
such as http://www.myhostname.com) for your web based application.
Update the telnet port number, if your host application is configured to listen on a specific
port. If not, just use the default telnet port.
Select [OK]
Select [Session][Connect] from the application menu or tap the "Connect" button
on the Toolbar. Upon a successful connection, you should see the host application screen
displayed.
NOTE: There are built-in ―demo‖ modes available, which may be used to test the look and feel
of our application, even if you may not have a live network connection to connect to your host.
Simply set the ―Host Address‖ to demo.naurtech.com (default). Select the Host Type and
connect on that session. You can progress through pre-captured screens by pressing Enter or
one of the function keys.

Quick “How To” Tips
Automatically submit a barcode (Postamble ENTER)
All device tailored versions of Emulators and Web Browser directly interface with the barcode
scanner engines. If you would like to configure your barcode scanning such that a key operation
such as [Enter] or [Tab] or [Field Exit] etc is automatically appended after a barcode
scan, you can set the postamble in the scanner configuration. For [Enter] place a ―\r‖, for
[Tab] place a ―\t‖. Refer to barcode scanner configuration for a list of pre and post ambles.
Change the font to fit rows and columns on the screen
You can dynamically increase or decrease the font size of the displayed text in all terminal
emulation sessions. This allows you to configure the number of rows and columns such that they
fit on the display screen. Select [Display] -> [Font Up] or [Font Down] from the
application menu. You can also use the corresponding buttons on the toolbar. You must be
connected to a host session for the settings to take effect.
Configure a session to automatically connect on startup
You can configure any session to automatically connect when the client starts. To do so,
configure your session for a connection. Then enable ―Auto Connect‖ checkbox option from
[Session] -> [Configure] -> [Connection] -> [Advanced]. Each session can
maintain its separate setting.
You can also setup automatic launch of the application upon device boot, by placing a shortcut to
the application in the \Windows\Startup folder
Setup Automatic login
For automatic login capability, we recommend using a Script as it offers a more robust solution
and is less susceptible to dynamic changes such as propagation delays and host application
response time in your network environment. Automatic login script sample is provided in the
Scripting Guide manual.
You can also use Macros. This approach for automatic login was recommended prior to Scripting
functionality being available. Record a macro with all the steps to login to your host. You can then
configure the macro to be launched automatically once the session connects. Enable the ―Macro
on Connect‖ checkbox option from [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Connection] ->
[Advanced]. You can have only one macro associated with each session. Refer to the Macros
section in this manual for more details on how you can record a macro.
Remap hardware keys
You can re-map any physical keyboard key on the device to any other key, text string, application
operation or a script. You can also map the key to a NULL operation, which will prevent use of
that key. All key remapping is done on the device through application configuration settings. No
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 25
additional components are necessary. This remapping may be configured specific to either a
session or an emulation type (such as VT, 5250, 3270, HTML etc).
It is sometimes difficult to find out the VK code generated when a physical key is pressed. This is
important to know as it is the key code that needs to be remapped to another key. We have now
added a ―Key Trap‖ button on the configuration dialog that tells you the VK key code associated
with a specific key.
All key remapping configuration settings are performed from the dialog [Session] ->
[Configure] -> [Options] -> [Configure KeyBars and Keys]-> [Select
Keymap] / [Edit Keymap]. Refer to the key remapping section for detailed steps.
Configure Full Screen mode
You can configure the application such that the display area occupies the complete screen on the
device. The ―Start‖ bar, Application menu, toolbar and any KeyBars can all be hidden. To
configure full screen mode go to [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Display] ->
[Advanced] -> [Hide/Show] tab. Enable the checkbox ―Hide Menu Bar‖, ―Hide Keybar‖ and
―Hide Toolbar‖. Now go to [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Options] -> [Advanced]
-> [Access Control] and enable checkboxes ―Hide Start Bar‖.
You can get back to your configuration dialogs form the full screen mode via a special Context
Menu. If you double tap (on Windows Mobile) or tap and hold (on Windows CE) the stylus on the
top left vertical edge of the display screen, you will see a context menu appear. Choose the
―Configure‖ option to enter the configuration. Unhide the desired menu(s).
Lock down the device
You can prevent the users from being able to access any application menu or configuration
options. To do so, configure the device in full screen mode. Next enable the checkbox option
―Disable App Exit‖ from [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Options] -> [Advanced] ->
[Access Control] configuration settings. Also set an access control password here. The user
will be prompted for this password if an attempt is made to enter the configuration dialogs. Refer
to the Access Control section in this manual for more detailed instructions.
Display Indicators
You can display RF signal and battery strength Indicators, either as floating icons or as part of
KeyBar buttons. To display the Indicators, go to [Session] -> [Configure] ->
[Options] -> [Advanced] -> [Info Items]. Select the Indicator from the dropdown list.
For the selected Indicator, make sure you enable the ―Update‖ checkbox and the ―Enabled‖
checkbox under ―Screen Display‖. You can also select the status buttons to be displayed on a
Custom KeyBar. Refer to the Indicators section in this manual for more details.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 26
Configure to display International language character sets
We fully support all European language codepages for all terminal emulations. We support multi-
byte character set languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew etc for VT emulations
only.
For IBM emulations, you can select your language specific codepage table from our support
website. Once installed, the codepage will appear as a selectable option under [Session] ->
[Configure] -> [Connection] -> [Advanced] -> [IBM Options] settings.
For VT emulations, you must have the language specific codepage table installed on the device.
You can then select the encoding mode and the corresponding codepage from the options under
[Session] -> [Configure] -> [Connection] -> [Advanced] -> [VT
Extensions] settings.
Enable SSL / SSH security
You can encrypt all data exchanged with your host applications by configuring your session
connection to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or SSH (Secure Shell Protocol). You can enable
either of these from the [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Connection] -> [Security]
configuration dialog. Additional settings for SSH must be configured. You should review the
details under the SSH configuration section.
Exiting out from the registration dialog
When running the software in evaluation mode, you may enter the registration dialog by pressing
the ―Register‖ button when you are notified that you are running an evaluation version. At this
point you are expected if enter a User ID and a registration key. The device unique License ID is
shown in the registration dialog. If you do not yet have your registration key and need to exit
back to the splash screen, press the cancel 'X' button or press the Esc key.
If you have three unsuccessful attempts to register your software license, you will be returned to
the splash screen.
Automatic Licensing Registration
Rather than having to type the user id and key to register your software license, you can use the
automated license registration. Your registration key(s) are also provided in an XML file format.
You can either place this file on a Web server or locally on your device. During the first
connection attempt, our application will automatically try to resolve and complete the registration.
You can then configure a reference to this file to automatically register the device. To configure
automated licensing, go to [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Options] -> [Advanced]
-> [Manage]. Under ―Server URL‖ enter the complete URL to the registration license XML file.
Please refer to the Automated Licensing section later in this manual.

Evaluation Mode
You can download fully featured evaluation versions of our Emulators and Web Browser from our
website (www.naurtech.com). In the evaluation mode, there is a limitation on the number of host
connection attempts and the length of time for each ―connected‖ session. When running in
evaluation mode, users will be given a warning for the evaluation connection attempts and
connected time.
The evaluation period will expire once the number of host connection attempts are exhausted.
For each connected session during the evaluation mode, the session will be disconnected after a
fixed length of time. In evaluation mode, you are allowed to connect to at most two sessions
simultaneously.
These limitations and warnings are strictly part of the evaluation mode. They are not seen in a
registered version of the application. To register the application, you must purchase a legal
registration key and register your copy of the software installation. Contact our sales department
at sales@naurtech.com for more information.

Configuration
This section describes various configuration parameters for host connections. All these
parameters are set using the configuration dialogs accessed from the [Session]
[Configure] application menu. Except for "Connection" parameters, you can change or update
any parameters at any time, whether the host / browser session is connected or disconnected.
Every configuration setting is automatically saved to the last configured setting. All configuration
attributes are associated with the currently active session. Every session can have a different set
of configuration attributes.
NOTE: The positioning of some of the user interface widgets on the dialogs shown might
appear slightly different on your device. This is because Windows CE devices come in various
screen form factors and the placement of the user interface widgets is performed dynamically,
based upon the device screen dimensions and characteristics.

which the host application is expecting connection.
From the application menu, Select [Session][Configure] or tap the "Configure"
button on the toolbar.
A "Configure" dialog box will come up.
Choose the "Connection" tab. This is the first (and default) tab.
The following dialogs show the Connection tab of the host session configuration dialog.
NOTE: The default settings will change depending upon the current selection of "Host
Type".
Host Type: This is the type of session required to connect to your host / web server
application. Your choices are 3270, 5250, VT220 or HTML. The first three represent
terminal emulation sessions. The last option (HTML) represents a Web Browser session.
You may select any one emulation type for the session. If you have a single emulation
product (CE3270, CE5250 or CEVT220), only that emulation type will be selectable.
HTML host session types are available with all products. Other connection options may
change dynamically depending upon the host emulation type selected.
Host Address: This is the address of a host system or an intermediate gateway
managing connections to the host system. Enter the host name or numeric IP address,

using up to 64 characters. Default is demo.naurtech.com, which connects to a
simulated demo host. For HTML browser sessions, the host address should be the URL
(Universal resource Locator) of the host application site such as
“http://myIntranetApp.myCompany.com/start.php”. For HTML sessions, if
you are trying to view a page local to the device, the URL format should be
“file:///absolutepath/myPage.htm” where “absolutepath” is the absolute
path to the web page from the root folder.
Terminal Device: This is the terminal type string that determines a specific terminal to
emulate. This setting is applicable only for Terminal Emulation sessions. It does not apply
to Web Browser sessions. For 3270 emulations only model 2 screen geometry is
supported. CEVT220 supports VT52, VT100 and VT220 terminal types. Each host
emulation type has its own default terminal type.
Telnet Port: This is the TCP socket port number to be used to connect to the host
system. The default is 23. You may change this to the telnet port on which your host
application is listing. This setting does not apply to web browser (HTML) sessions.
Advanced
This button opens an advanced connection configuration dialogs.
General
This tab maintains general configuration settings relating to session connection and
reconnection.
Auto Connect: Checking this box will automatically connect this TE or Browser
session when the application is started. If you want to automatically connect to
your host configured for this session when the application starts, enable this
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 37
checkbox. You may have one or more host sessions configured for auto
connections.
Auto Reconnect: Checking this box will cause the emulator to attempt to
reconnect to the host if the connection is lost or closed by the host. This setting
has no affect on Web Browser sessions as Browser sessions are stateless and
establish a new connection for every data exchange.
Macro on Connect: Check this option if you want to automatically start playback
of a pre-recorded macro when the session connects. You may use this capability
for automatic login to a host application or automate any steps that require to be
performed upon session connection.
Confirm Disconnect: Check this option if you want to be prompted prior to
disconnecting a connected session. The prompt will force a user action before
proceeding ahead with disconnection of the host session.
Confirm Exit (Connected): Check this option if you want to be prompted prior to
exiting our application if one or more sessions are connected.
Exit on Disconnect: Check this option to exit the application when one or more
of the connected sessions disconnects. The disconnection may be triggered by
either the user or by the host.
Check Network on Connect: When enabled, the network signal presence and
availability will be automatically checked when an attempt is made to connect /
reconnect to the host. The user will be prompted if the device is out of RF range
or if the network cannot be detected.
Check Network on Resume: On certain devices, depending on your
configuration settings, the OS withdraws power from the WLAN card when the
device is suspended. This may be done to prolong battery life. When enabled,
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 38
this setting ensures presence of a network signal when the device is resuming
itself from a ―Suspend‖ state. The user will see a progress bar while CETerm
attempts the detect availability of a network. The user will be prompted if the
device is not associated, is out of RF range or if the network cannot be detected.
Check Network before Send: This setting in only applicable to Web Browser
sessions. It does not affect any of the terminal emulation sessions. When
enabled, the network signal presence and availability will be checked every time
before sending any data to the host server. The user will be prompted if the
device is out of RF range or if the network cannot be detected. Enable this
setting if your network coverage is sporadic.
Term Type: Leave this blank unless required. If not empty, this value is reported
as the terminal type in the Telnet negotiations. Use this only if your host has a
special Telnet server that uses the value to identify devices or special situations.
Initial Sleep: This setting should no longer be used. Instead, use ―Check
Network on Connect‖. This is the time, in seconds, for which CETerm will wait
when the application is launched. This setting is useful when CETerm is
configured to automatically start during a device cold boot and connect to a host
application. The ―Initial Sleep‖ allows the underlying wireless network to initialize
prior to the CETerm attempting to establish a connection. The default value is 0,
which means no delay.
NOTE: This setting has been obsolete by the ―Check Network on Connect‖
setting.
Network
This tab maintains configuration settings to enable detection, presence and availability of
the network.
Timeout: This is the length of time for which CETerm will try to find the host by
sending multiple ping requests. You can specify a navigation error page in the
Action setting to manage RF connection loss. You can also use the Scripting
event "OnNavigateError", to recover when RF is lost during navigation or if web
server is not responsive. See the Scripting Guide for details.
Host: This is the URL or IP address of the host server that you would like to
check to determine presence of network and availability of the host server. This
may be different from the URL or IP address of the host to which you are
connected.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 39
NOTE: If this Network -> Host setting is blank, the network check extracts the
hostname from the pending connection URL and sends an ICMP Ping to
determine if the path to the host is available. This effectively checks if the RF is
available, the device is associated, any security protocols are established, and
the host is alive. The network check is only performed if the pending URL is a
HTTP or HTTPS type. Note that this does not check if your host web server has
crashed.
If this Network -> Host setting is specified, then that host is the target of the
ping. This can be useful if you have a network component or alternate host that
can be used to query.
Possible problems, if you always navigate to the error page could be:
- Your host or host firewall is configured so that it won't respond to a ping.
- You have a character in the "host" configuration of CETerm. Even a space will
be parsed to try to determine the host. Make sure it is empty.
Action: This is the action URL to which the Browser session is redirected if the
network is determined to be unavailable. This URL will typically be a device local
error page such as “file:///<myDeviceLocalPath>/myErrorPage.htm”
URL. If you specify an action, the Cancel button is disabled on the Network
Check dialog.

Security
This tab maintains all advanced connection configuration settings for data encryption and
security. Both Secure Shell (SSH) protocol and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
are provided for all terminal emulations and web Browser sessions. Use https:
connections to provide SSL for HTML sessions.
Telnet over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
SSL or Secure Sockets Layer provides secure encryption of data between a handheld
terminal and the host. It is the underlying security protocol used by web browsers. With
SSL, they host system can also ask for a password to authenticate. This is sent over a
secure encrypted connection.
Enable SSL: Check this option to enable SSL data encryption. Once enabled, all
data sent to the host application is encrypted. All data received is decrypted
Perform Certificate Checks: Check this option if you want the client to perform
checks for valid certificate on the SSL server.
SSH Secure Shell
SSH, or Secure Shell, is a popular, powerful, software-based approach to network
security. Before data is sent by CETerm over a network, it is automatically encrypted
(scrambled) by SSH. The data is automatically decrypted (unscrambled) when it reaches
the host. The result is transparent encryption: users can work normally, unaware that
their communications are safely encrypted on the network. In addition, SSH uses
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 41
modern, secure encryption algorithms and can be found within mission-critical
applications at major corporations.
Enable SSH: This option enables the SSH protocol for this CETerm session. The
default is Off.
Advanced: This button allows configuration of more advanced settings specific
to the SSH protocol. By default, these settings will enable connections to most
SSH servers. It is recommended that you use the default settings, unless you
understand implications of the various settings.
SSH General
This tab is used to configure general settings of the SSH protocol. The list contains check
boxes that may be individually selected for the desired option. Please note that some
items, whenever applicable, have three selectable states: On, Off and Auto-Sense (Check
with ―A‖). Tapping these options will cycle through the three states.
If checked (On), the option is selected. If unchecked (Off), the option is not selected. If
Auto-Sense, CETerm will determine and use the most appropriate option setting.
Enable SSH: This option enables SSH for the current session. The option is
identical to the value on the previous Security tab and is repeated here for
convenience.
Prefer SSH-1 Protocol: Enable this option if you would like to connect to your
VT host server using SSH protocol version 1. The default setting is Off.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 42
Prefer SSH-2 Protocol: Enable this option if you would like to connect to your
VT host using SSH protocol version 2. The default setting is On.
NOTE: If both SSH-1 and SSH-2 options are off, CETerm will first try to connect
using SSH2 protocol and then fall back to SSH-1 protocol.
Auto OK New Host keys: Automatically accept the host keys presented by the
server. Enabling this option will minimize the amount of interaction that is
required on part of a user. The default setting is Off.
WARNING: Enabling this option reduces security because the user does not
verify that the server being connected to is the intended destination. For greatest
security the user should verify that the server credentials presented match the
intended server.
Auto OK Changed Host keys: Automatically accept changed host key
presented by the server. Enabling this option will minimize the amount of
interaction that is required on part of a user. The default setting is Off.
WARNING-WARNING-WARNING: Enabling this option reduces security
because the user does not verify that the server being connected to is the
intended destination. A changed host key may indicate a ―man-in-the-middle‖
attack, or it may be that the server administrator has simply changed the server
host key. For greatest security the user should verify that the server credentials
presented match the intended server.
Try Keyboard Authentication: This option is for SSH-2 protocol only. It is a
flexible authentication method using an arbitrary sequence of requests and
responses. This method is not only useful for challenge/response mechanisms
such as S/Key, but it can also be used for asking the user for a new password
when the old one has expired. This option is On by default.
Try TIS Authentication SSH-1: TIS authentication is a simple
challenge/response form of authentication available in SSH-1 protocol only. You
might use it if you were using S/Key one-time passwords, or if you had a physical
security token that generated responses to authentication challenges.
With this option enabled, CETerm will attempt this authentication if the server is
willing to try them. You will be presented with a challenge string (which will be
different every time) and must supply the correct response in order to log in. If
your server supports this, you should talk to your system administrator about
precisely what form these challenges and responses take. This option is Off by
default.
Auth Username Changeable: The SSH-2 protocol allows change of username
during authentication, but does not make it mandatory for SSH-2 servers to
accept them. In particular, OpenSSH does not accept a change of username;
once you have sent one username, it will reject attempts to try to authenticate as
another user.
Enable this option if your server accepts changes to username in its
authentication process. This option is Off by default.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 43
Skip User Authentication: When enabled, CETerm will not negotiate user
authentication with the SSH server. In most cases this will prevent a connection.
This option is Off by default.
Cache Decrypted User Keys: When enabled, CETerm will retain a private copy
of any user keys that have been unlocked with a user passphrase. Subsequent
requests for the key will be served automatically and will not require the user to
re-enter the passphrase. CETerm does not retain the passphrase. The cached
key may be used with multiple sessions and will be erased when CETerm exits
or if this option is changed to Off. This option is global and is common to all
sessions. The default value is Off.
NOTE: While this renegotiation is taking place, no data can pass through the
SSH connection, so the session may appear to ‗freeze‘ momentarily. This is a
short period when the key exchange is taking place.
Re-Key Every 60 Minutes: A shared session key is used by the encryption
protocol. If used too long, the session key may be subject to attack and expose
the SSH connection. Although such an attack is unlikely, it is wise to re-
exchange the key every so often. This can be initiated either by the client or the
server. Enabling this option will trigger CETerm to exchange a new key with the
server every 60 minutes. This option is On by default.
Re-Key Every 1G of Traffic: A shared session key is used by the encryption
protocol. If used for a large volume of traffic, the session key may be subject to
attack and expose the SSH connection. Although such an attack is unlikely, it is
wise to re-exchange the key after a significant amount of data. Enabling this
option will trigger CETerm to exchange a new key with the server following a total
data flow of 1 Gigabyte in either direction. This option is On by default.
Enable Compression: Enabling this setting will compress all data exchanged
over the SSH connection. We do not recommend using compression for
standard interactive sessions. By default, this setting is Off.
Enable Verbose messages: When enabled, the user is informed of major errors
which affect the SSH connection via a popup dialog. Some additional
information is presented within the emulation screen. This option is On by
default.
Allow IPV4: Enable this option to allow the IPv4 Internet Protocol addressing
scheme. The default is On.
Allow IPV6: Enable this option to allow the IPv6 Internet Protocol addressing
scheme. The default is Off.
Note: If neither IPv4 or IPv6 options is selected, CETerm will use IPv4. If both are
selected, CETerm will first attempt IPv6 and fall back to IPv4 if it is unsuccessful
connecting with IPv6.
Use TCP No-Delay (Advanced): Under normal operation, the TCP
communication stack performs data packet batching. Enable this option forces
the TCP stack to send immediately without batching data packets. This can result
in excessive traffic of short packets. We recommend leaving this option Off. It is
Off by default.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 44
Send TCP Keep-Alives (Advanced): Enables the TCP socket keep-alive option.
This option is deprecated and should not be used. Use the SSH level keep-alive
to prevent session disconnection by a host. This option is Off by default.
No Pseudo-Terminal on Host (Advanced): When connecting to a Unix system,
most interactive shell sessions are run in a pseudo-terminal, which allows the VT
host system to pretend it's talking to a real physical terminal device and allows
the SSH server to catch all the data coming from that fake device and send it
back to the client. Occasionally you might find you have a need to not run a
session in a pseudo-terminal. Enable this option to prevent CETerm from running
a pseudo terminal. The default is Off.
No Host Shell (Advanced): Enabling this option will force CETerm to not run a
shell or command after connecting to the remote host server / host. This option
may be used only when using the SSH connection for port forwarding, and your
user account on the server not having the ability to run a shell. This option is only
applicable with SSH protocol version 2, since the SSH version 1 protocol
assumes you will always want to run a shell. The default is Off.
Run Sub-System on Host (Advanced): If enabled, attempts to run an SSH-2
subsystem on the host. By default, this option is Off
Try Proxy for Local Host: If using a proxy connection, this option enables the
use of the proxy even for connections to localhost. By default, this option is Off
DNS Lookup at Proxy End: If Off, CETerm will perform DNS lookup on the
handheld. If On, CETerm will perform DNS lookup on the proxy host. If Auto-
Sense, CETerm will choose the DNS lookup location based on the proxy type.
By default, this option is Auto-Sense.
Local Fwd – Allow All Hosts: If enabled, this option allows hosts other than the
handheld to connect to local ports that are forwarded to the server. This may be
useful for a peripheral device to connect to the server. By default, this option is
Off.
Remote Fwd – Allow All Hosts: If enabled, this option allows hosts other than
the server to connect to remote ports that are forwarded to the handheld. By
default, this option is Off
Overwrite Existing Log File: Enable this option if you want to automatically
overwrite the existing log and start capturing a new log. If unchecked, log data
will be appended to the end of the existing log. The default option is Auto-Sense,
in which case the user is prompted when logging starts and the file exists.
Omit passwords from Log: When checked, password fields are removed from
the log of transmitted packets. This includes any user responses to challenge-
response authentication methods such as ‗keyboard-interactive‘. Note that this
setting will only omit data that CETerm knows to be a password. If you start
another login session within your CETerm SSH session, for instance, any
password used will appear in the clear in the packet log. This option is Off by
default.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 45
Omit Session data from Log: When checked, all ‗session data‘ is omitted; this
is defined as data in terminal sessions and in forwarded channels (TCP, X11,
and authentication agent). This will usually substantially reduce the size of the
resulting log file. This option is Off by default.
NOTE: Not all SSH servers work properly. Various existing servers have bugs in
them, which can make it impossible for a client like CETerm to talk to them
unless it knows about the bug and works around it. Since most servers announce
their software version number at the beginning of the SSH connection, CETerm
will attempt to detect which bugs it can expect to see in the server and
automatically enable workarounds.
The following configuration options are provided to navigate around these known
bugs in the various SSH server implementations.
Bug – SSH-1 Ignore: Within the SSH-1 protocol, the client or server can send an
―ignore message‖ at any time. Either side is required to ignore the message
whenever it receives it. Within CETerm, this capability is used to hide the
password packet in SSH-1, so that a listener cannot tell the length of the user's
password. CETerm also uses ―ignores messages‖ for application level
keepalives. Certain SSH-1 servers lock up in using ―ignore messages‖.
If this option is not enabled, CETerm will assume that the SSH-1server does not
have this bug.
If this option is enabled, CETerm session connection will succeed, but keepalives
will not work and the session might be more vulnerable to eavesdroppers than it
could be.
If the option is auto-sensed, CETerm will detect the bug and stop using ―ignore
messages‖. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Bug – SSH-1 Password Hiding: When talking to an SSH-1 server which cannot
deal with ignore messages, CETerm will attempt to disguise the length of the
user's password by sending additional padding within the password packet. This
is technically a violation of the SSH-1 specification, and so CETerm will only do it
when it cannot use standards-compliant ignore messages as camouflage. In this
sense, for a server to refuse to accept a padded password packet is not really a
bug, but it does make life inconvenient if the server can also not handle ignore
messages.
If this ‗bug‘ is auto-sensed, CETerm will have no choice but to send the user's
password with no form of camouflage, so that an eavesdropping user will be
easily able to find out the exact length of the password. If this is enabled when
talking to a correct server, the session will succeed, but will be more vulnerable
to eavesdroppers than it could be.
This option only applies to SSH-1 servers. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Bug – SSH-1 RSA Auth: Some SSH-1 servers cannot deal with RSA
authentication messages at all. If Pageant is running and contains any SSH-1
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 46
keys, CETerm will automatically try RSA authentication before falling back to
passwords, so these servers will crash when they see the RSA attempt.
If this bug is auto-sensed, CETerm will go straight to password authentication. If
this option is enabled when talking to a correct server, the session will succeed,
but of course RSA authentication will be impossible.
This option only applies to SSH-1 servers. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Bug – SSH-2 HMAC Key: Versions 2.3.0 and below of the SSH server software
from ssh.com compute the keys for their HMAC message authentication codes
incorrectly. A typical symptom of this problem is that CETerm can fail at the
beginning of the session, saying ‗Incorrect MAC received on packet‘.
If this bug is auto-sensed, CETerm will compute its HMAC keys in the same way
as the buggy server, so that communication will still be possible. If this option is
enabled when talking to a correct server, communication will fail.
This option only applies to SSH-2 servers. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Bug – SSH-2 Encryption Key: Versions below 2.0.11 of the SSH server
software from ssh.com compute the keys for the session encryption incorrectly.
This problem can cause various error messages, such as ‗Incoming packet was
garbled on decryption‘, or possibly even ‗Out of memory‘.
If this bug is auto-sensed, CETerm will compute its encryption keys in the same
way as the buggy server, so that communication will still be possible. If this
option is enabled when talking to a correct server, communication will fail.
This option only applies to SSH-2 servers. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Bug – SSH-2 RSA Signature: Versions below 3.3 of OpenSSH require SSH-2
RSA signatures to be padded with zero bytes to the same length as the RSA key
modulus. The SSH-2 draft specification says that an unpadded signature MUST
be accepted, so this is a bug. A typical symptom of this problem is that CETerm
mysteriously fails RSA authentication once in every few hundred attempts, and
falls back to passwords.
If this bug is auto-sensed, CETerm will pad its signatures in the way OpenSSH
expects. If this option is enabled when talking to a correct server, it is likely that
no damage will be done, since correct servers usually still accept padded
signatures because they're used to talking to OpenSSH.
This option only applies to SSH-2 servers. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Bug – SSH-2 ID in PK Auth: Versions below 2.3 of OpenSSH require SSH-2
public-key authentication to be done slightly differently: the data to be signed by
the client contains the session ID formatted in a different way. If public-key
authentication mysteriously does not work but the Event Log thinks it has
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 47
successfully sent a signature, it might be worth enabling the workaround for this
bug to see if it helps.
If this bug is auto-sensed, CETerm will sign data in the way OpenSSH expects. If
this option is enabled when talking to a correct server, SSH-2 public-key
authentication will fail.
This option only applies to SSH-2 servers. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Bug – SSH-2 Re-Key: Some SSH servers cannot cope with repeat key
exchange at all, and will ignore attempts by the client to start one. Since CETerm
pauses the session while performing a repeat key exchange, the effect of this
would be to cause the session to hang after an hour (unless you have your rekey
timeout set differently). Other, very old, SSH servers handle repeat key exchange
even worse, and disconnect upon receiving a repeat key exchange request.
If this bug is auto-sensed, CETerm will never initiate a repeat key exchange. If
this option is enabled when talking to a correct server, the session should still
function, but may be less secure than you would expect.
This option only applies to SSH-2 servers. The default option is Auto-Sense.
Username: This is the field where you can specify what user name you want to
login as, when connecting through your SSH server. Configuring a username will
prevent you from having to explicitly type this on every connection. The default is
blank.
SSH Keep Alive: This is the time interval, in seconds, that CETerm will use for
triggering SSH level keep-alive frames. Note SSH Keep-Alives are different from
TCP protocol Keep Alives. A value of 0 implies not to use SSH Keep-Alives. The
default value is 0.
Log Mode: CETerm can maintain a log of all data interaction and exchange
performed over the SSH connection. This can be helpful in troubleshooting
connection failures. Use this setting to configure the type of log that CETerm
should save. The amount of information saved in the log varies with the
configured log mode setting. The log file is created in the root directory with the
following name format: /ssh_log_&h.raw where &h is replaced by the
hostname. The default mode is None.

Encryption
CETerm supports a variety of different encryption algorithms, and allows you to prioritize
which one you prefer to use. Use this configuration tab to set a priority preference for the
SSH encryption algorithms.
Encryption Priority: Highlight the preferred encryption algorithm and use the up
and down buttons to position it in the list box to specify a priority preference
order. When you make an SSH connection, CETerm will search down the list
from the top until it finds an algorithm supported by the server, and then use that.
By default, CETerm list the following encryption algorithms in priority order:
- AES Rijndael (SSH-2)
- Blowfish
- Triple-DES
- * warn below here *
- Arcfour
- * ignore following *
- DES
If the encryption algorithm which CETerm finds is below the ‗warn below here‘
line, you will see a warning box when you make the connection:
The first cipher supported by the server
is single-DES, which is below the configured
warning threshold.
Do you want to continue with this connection?
This warns you that the first available encryption is not a very secure one.
Typically you would put the ―* warn below here *‖ line between the encryptions
you consider secure and the ones you consider substandard. By default,
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 49
CETerm supplies a preference order intended to reflect a reasonable preference
in terms of security and speed.
In SSH-2, the encryption algorithm is negotiated independently for each direction
of the connection, although CETerm does not support separate configuration of
the preference orders. As a result you may get two warnings similar to the one
above, possibly with different encryptions.
Any algorithms below the ―* ignore following *‖ selection are not used and
ignored by CETerm.
NOTE: Single-DES is not recommended in the SSH-2 draft protocol standards,
but one or two server implementations do support it.
Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Priority: Key exchange occurs at the start of an
SSH connection (and occasionally thereafter, depending upon your settings in
the SSH General tab); it establishes a shared secret that is used as the basis for
all of SSH security features. It is therefore very important for the security of the
connection that the key exchange is secure.
Key exchange is a cryptographically intensive process; if either the client or the
server is a relatively slow machine, the slower methods may take several tens of
seconds to complete.
NOTE: If connection startup is too slow, or the connection hangs periodically, you
may want to try changing these settings. If you don't understand what any of this
means, it's safe to leave these settings alone.
CETerm supports a variety of SSH-2 key exchange methods, and allows you to
choose which one you prefer to use. This configuration is similar to encryption
algorithm cipher selection. CETerm currently supports the following varieties of
Diffie-Hellman key exchange:
D–H Group exchange: with this method, instead of using a fixed group,
CETerm requests that the server suggest a group to use for key
exchange; the server can avoid groups known to be weak, and possibly
invent new ones over time, without any changes required to CETerm's
configuration. We recommend use of this method, if possible.
D–H Group 14: a well-known 2048-bit group.
D–H Group 1: a well-known 1024-bit group. This is less secure than
group 14, but may be faster with slow client or server machines, and may
be the only method supported by older server software.
If the first algorithm CETerm finds is below the ―* warn below here*‖ line, you will
see a warning box when you make the connection, similar to the one discussed
in the previous (encryption priority selection) configuration.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 50
User Keys
This configuration tab manages the User Keys to be used for authentication with the SSH
server. User Keys are used for public key authentication. Public key authentication
requires a key-pair consisting of a public key and a private key. The public key can be
known be everybody whereas the private key is a closely held secret and is usually
encrypted with a corresponding passphrase.
The public key is copied to the server and the private key is imported into CETerm. The
private key is stored in CETerm in the encrypted form. The server and CETerm use the
keys to authenticate the login request.
User Key: This is the key which has been selected for use with the current
session. It can only be selected from the keys which have been imported into
CETerm.
Clear: This will remove any currently selected key for the session. Without a
key, the SSH connection will attempt to use password or other authentication
mechanisms.

The table contains a list of keys that have been imported into CETerm. These
keys are shared by all CETerm sessions. Each key has a ―Name‖ which is
assigned by the user when the key is imported. Also shown is the ―Algorithm‖
the key supports, the ―Encryption‖ used for the key, and the ―Comment‖ field of
the key.
Server
The configuration attributes on this tab allow you to configure server options.
Environment: This setting specifies environment variables to be set on the SSH
server. Not all servers will accept new environment variables. The format of the
variables is a list of semicolon delimited name-value pairs:
name=”value”;name2=!a=b;c=”d”!
Each value is delimited by quoting characters. Typically that character will be the
double-quote (―). If the value contains double-quote characters, any other
printable character may be used, including the single-quote or exclamation mark.
Note that the value for name2 contains equal signs, double-quotes, and a
semicolon and is delimited by the exclamation mark (!).
Whatever character is used at the start of the value must be used at the end. The
default setting is blank.
Command (Advanced): This represents a special command or subsystem to
invoke on the SSH server in lieu of an interactive shell. This is typically used for
non-interactive host sessions. For most users this will be blank.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 52
TTY Modes (Advanced): This setting can be used to add TTY Modes to be sent
to the SSH server. The format of the variables is a list of semicolon delimited
name-value pairs:
mode=”value”;mode2=”value2”
Each value is delimited by quoting characters. See Environment above for
details on quoting.
Forwarding (Advanced): This setting defines port forwarding or tunnels
supported by this connection. Each tunnel is defined in the following format:
[4,6,A][L,R,D][sourcehost:]sourceport=desthost:destport;…
Where brackets indicate optional items,
4 – use IPV4, or 6 – use IPV6, or A – autodetect
L – local port forwarded, R – remote port forwarded, D – dynamic (proxy) port
For most users this will be blank.
Delete Server Keys: Tapping this button will erase all ―known hosts‖ server keys
stored within CETerm. The user must re-accept all keys during future host key
negotiations.
Proxy
The Proxy tab allows you to configure CETerm to use various types of proxy servers in
order to make network connections. The settings affect the primary network connection
from your CETerm SSH session, but also any extra connections made as a result of SSH
port forwarding.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 53
Type: This option allows you to configure what type of proxy you want CETerm
to use for its network connections. The choices are:
- None: No proxy is used.
- SOCKS 4 or SOCKS 5: proxy through a SOCKS server.
- HTTP: proxy through a web server supporting the HTTP CONNECT
command
- Telnet: Many firewalls implement a less formal type of proxy in which a
user can make a Telnet connection directly to the firewall machine and
enter a command such as connect myhost.com 22 to connect through to
an external host. Selecting ‗Telnet‘ allows you to tell CETerm to use this
type of proxy.
The default setting is None.
Host: This is the DNS name or IP address of the proxy server. The default is
blank.
Port: This is the port on which the proxy server is listening. Set this to match the
port on the proxy server for connections. The default is 80.
User: If your proxy server requires authentication, enter the username. The
default is blank.
Password: If your proxy server requires authentication, enter the password. The
default is blank.
WARNING: This password is stored in plain text within CETerm.
NOTE: Authentication is not fully supported for all forms of proxy. Username and
password authentication is supported for HTTP proxies and SOCKS 5 proxies.
With SOCKS 5, authentication is via CHAP if the proxy supports it otherwise the
password is sent to the proxy in plain text.
With HTTP proxy, the only currently supported authentication method is ‗basic‘,
where the password is sent to the proxy in plain text.
SOCKS 4 can use the ‗Username‘ field, but does not support passwords.
You can specify a way to include a username and password in the Telnet proxy
command
Exclude Hosts: Typically you will only use a proxy to connect to non-local parts
of your network. For example, your proxy might be required for connections
outside your company's internal network. Use this setting to enter ranges of IP
addresses, or ranges of DNS names, for which CETerm will avoid using the
proxy and make a direct connection instead.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 54
This setting may contain more than one exclusion range, separated by commas.
Each range can be an IP address or a DNS name, with a * character allowing
wildcards. For example:
*.somehost.com
excludes any host with a name ending in .somehost.com from proxying.
192.168.88.*
excludes any host with an IP address starting with 192.168.88 from proxying.
192.168.88.*, *.somehost.com
This excludes both of the above ranges at once.
Command: If you are using the Telnet proxy type, the usual command required
by the firewall's Telnet server is connect, followed by a host name and a port
number. If your proxy needs a different command, you can enter an alternative
here.
In this string, you can use \n to represent a new-line, \r to represent a
carriage return, \t to represent a tab character, and \x followed by two hex
digits to represent any other character. \\ is used to encode the \ character itself.
Also, the special strings %host and %port will be replaced by the host name
and port number you want to connect to. The strings %user and %pass will be
replaced by the proxy username and password you specify. To get a literal %
sign, enter %%.
If the Telnet proxy server prompts for a username and password before
commands can be sent, you can use a command such as:
%user\n%pass\nconnect%host%port\n
This will send your username and password as the first two lines to the proxy,
followed by a command to connect to the desired host and port. Note that if you
do not include the %user or %pass tokens in the Telnet command, then the
‗Username‘ and ‗Password‘ configuration fields will be ignored.

IBM Options
This tab maintains all advanced configuration attributes relating to IBM (3270 or 5250)
terminal emulations.
IBM Codepage: All popular Western European and Eastern European
codepages are supported for IBM emulations. By default, only the US English
code page (IBM037) is selectable. Codepages for other languages are available
from the support section of our website. You can download a codepage from our
website for the desired language (CAB file) and install it on your device. Once
installed, you will then be able to select your language codepage from this list.
IBM codepages for popular languages are available for download from the
Support -> Knowledgebase portion of our website. If you have a need for an
unlisted code page, please contact us at support@naurtech.com
Device / LU#: The device name / LU# represents a dedicated LU name or
number on the server that you want to connect through. Device names are used
within IBM SNA world to optimize management of host connection resources. A
device name may be associated with a ―LU pool‖ or a specific LU. Device names
may also be allocated when connecting to an IBM host through an intermediate
gateway. Default is blank.
Error Row: In 5250 emulation sessions, the host application can send an error
message for display on the terminal. The host application controls the row on
which this error message is displayed. Setting this Error Row value displays the
error message on this row. Default is 0 implying no change in the row on which
the error message is displayed. Valid error row values are between 1 and 24.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 56
Shift all Error Row content: Typically, a 5250 host application displays an error
message on an error row. This error message is only displayed during an actual
error. Certain legacy applications require the error row to always be displayed,
irrespective of an error message being present on it. Enabling this attribute will
force the error row to always be displayed.
Suppress Auto Field Advance: On IBM emulations (5250 and 3270), a host
application can define attributes on an input field to automatically advance the
cursor to the next field, if the existing field is full. Enabling this flag will ignore this
automatic field advance. This support is provided for compatibility with some
legacy applications.
Suppress Backspace at End: This setting applies only to terminals with a
phone style keypad running IBM emulation. Normally, when entering data using a
phone style keypad, the keyboard driver generates a Back Space following each
character that it is cycling through; To input ―B‖, you press ABC twice and the
keyboard driver generates ‗a‘, ‗BS‘ ‗b‘. When this setting is enabled, CETerm will
not Back Space if the present cursor location is at last char of an input field. This
is because cursor did not advance when the previous char was input, due to the
cursor being at the end of a field. This will allow overwriting of the last character
for phone style keypad rather than deleting a previous character.
3270 EAB: This is an optional 3270 terminal emulation parameter. If checked,
this will allocate an Enhanced Attribute Buffer. EAB support allows for advanced
display features such as color and highlighting. This attribute does not apply to
5250 host sessions.

VT Modes
This tab shows standard VT input and display attribute preferences.
Background: This option controls the background shade for VT host sessions.
Backspace: This option configures the backspace key to send either the Delete
character or the Backspace character.
Columns: This option specifies the number of columns for the VT host session
to be 80 or 132.
Enter Key: This option configures the Enter key to send either a carriage return
or a carriage return and line feed.
C1 Controls: This option selects 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII control sequences for the
host session.
Autowrap: Check this option to enable automatic wrapping of text once it
reaches the maximum column width.
Local Echo: Check this option to echo typed text locally on the terminal.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 58
VT Options
This tab shows additional VT options including support for proprietary protocol
extensions.
Answerback Message: Host applications may query the VT terminal for a text
message answerback response. This response may be used to identify the
terminal. Configure the answerback text string as per your VT host application
requirement. Default is a Naurtech copyright message string.
Keyboard: Select the keyboard character locale for DEC multinational and
National Replacement Character set support. You can select from:
North American
British
Flemish
Canadian (French)
Danish
Finnish
German / Austrian
Dutch
Italian
Swiss (French)

NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 59
Spanish
Portuguese
Canadian (English)
Default is "North American".
Send Mode: Check this option to select buffering of text prior to being sent to the
host.
Character: This is the default VT behavior. Every character is sent to
the host application as soon as it is typed. There is no local buffering.
Line buffered: When enabled, all typed characters are buffered locally
until a function key, editing key, Enter, or other non-character is typed. It
then sends the buffered keys to the host.
Local Edit (Block): This is an ANSI mode, which allows a host
application to define entry fields on a screen. All typing is stored locally
until a function key or Enter is typed. The contents of the screen are
then returned to the host, depending on the modes set by the host
application.
Both Line buffered and Local Edit modes optimize usage of network
bandwidth and host resources. However compatibility with these modes
is dependent upon the VT host applications.
Compatibility: Hardware vendors Intermec Technologies and LXE have
proprietary implementations of block mode support for VT host sessions. Check
the appropriate box for block mode compatibility.
User Preference Supplemental: This is the user preferred supplemental
character set. Default is DEC

VT Extensions
This tab shows proprietary extensions for international multi-byte character sets and
legacy VT extensions.
Multi-byte: This group box wraps all configuration settings for international
languages such as Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Japanese, Korean,
Thai, Hebrew, Greek and others. This support is only available for VT emulation
sessions.
Mode: This selects one of the several multi-byte modes to support single-byte
and double byte character sets. Select the type of character set encoding. You
can select from:
None: Use standard VT international character sets or National
Replacement Character (NRC) Sets.
DBCS: Double Byte Character Set. Selecting this encoding will process
double-byte characters based on the selected code page. Note that 8-bit
VT commands are illegal in DBCS mode.
SBCS: Single Byte Character Set. Selecting this encoding will process
single-byte characters based on the selected code page. Note that 8-bit
VT commands are illegal in SBCS mode.
UTF-8: Selecting this encoding will process the data stream as Unicode
in the UTF-8 encoding. Note that most 8-bit VT commands are illegal in
UTF-8 mode.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 61
Code Page: When DBCS or SBCS modes are selected, this setting allows
selection of the appropriate code page. Only the code pages available on the
device will be listed. If none are available, the mode will be forced back to None.
All our emulators display international character sets using Windows CE
Font Linking. This makes it possible to link one or more fonts, called linked
fonts, to another font, called the base font. Once you link fonts, characters that
do not exist in the base font are displayed from the linked fonts. For example,
linking a Japanese font to a Latin font gives you the ability to display Japanese
characters when using a Latin font.
Font linking is typically used to enable Roman fonts to display non-Roman
characters. To extend font linking on your device, you can examine the following
registry setting to determine the mappings of linked fonts to base fonts.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink
You can add additional links by creating additional registry values:
"base font face name" = "path and file to link to," "face name of the font to link"
Example: In this example, the Japanese-specific font MSGothic is linked to the
base Tahoma font. When searching for a character, the Tahoma font is searched
first followed by the MSGothic font. This enables support for a larger variety of
characters without switching fonts.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Tahoma"=\\Windows\\msgothic.ttc,MS PGothic
Two Column DB Characters: This setting only applies when displaying
characters requiring double byte character sets. When enabled, it forces
interpretation that the double byte character consumes two columns in screen
buffer. For some languages, this helps with character alignment.
Extensions: This group box wraps all VT protocol extensions that are proprietary
to legacy emulations. These are provided to easy migration from legacy terminals
to newer Windows CE terminals.
Symbol TNVT: Enable extensions from Symbols 3000 series and Telxon TE
such as enabling the scanner, setting fixed screen mode, reporting the IP
address, exiting the program, and sending special control characters.
Symbol CE VT: Enable extensions in Symbols VT220 CE TE, such as reporting
the MAC address, enabling the scanner, sounding tones, and setting block or
character modes.
Telxon: These are similar to the Symbol TNVT extensions.

Disable Browser Auto-SIP: On Windows CE platform terminals, when running
web browser sessions, the Soft Input Panel (SIP) automatically pops up if the
cursor input focus is in an input text box. This may not necessarily be the desired
behavior for your web application. Enabling this setting prevents the SIP from
popping up when focus set to text box in Windows CE browser.
Auto-Fit to Browser Screen: The underlying Web Browser capabilities between
Windows CE and Windows Mobile OS platforms are different. When enabled,
this setting turns on auto-fit formatting for Windows CE Browser as is available
on Windows Mobile Browser. The Web Browser will try to display the page in one
column with no horizontal scroll.
Display Browser Errors: When enabled, this setting will allow display of
JavaScript errors on web pages when displayed in a Browser session on a
Windows CE OS platform terminal. For equivalent functionality on a Windows
Mobile terminal, you need to manually set a registry value.
Show Macro on Play : By default, the macro toolbar bar is not visible when a
macro is being played back. Checking this option will make the macro toolbar
visible during playback.
NOTE: It may be necessary to make the macro toolbar visible so that CETerm
receives application focus to ensure the ―played back‖ keystrokes are sent to
CETerm.
If you run an auto-login macro and do not get focus back to your application, you
should enable this flag. Doing so will ensure you receive focus back in CETerm
Show Start Bar on Exit: Normally, CETerm restores the state of the Start Bar to
however it was found when it was launched. Enabling this setting forces the Start
Bar to be made visible if the user exits our application, ignoring the original state
of the Start Bar.

automatic scrolling to make the row and column for the current cursor position visible.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 69
You may configure cursor type and auto-scrolling options for the terminal.
Cursor Options: This option allows you to change the cursor appearance. Three
options are available:
Full Block: The cursor appears as a full character block ( █ )
Half Block: The cursor appears as a bottom half block ( ▄ )
Underline: The cursor appears as an underscore line ( ▬ )
Automatic Scrolling: This option enables automatic scrolling so the current
cursor position is always visible. This option is particularly helpful on devices with
small screens. The following auto-scrolling options are available
None: No automatic scrolling is preferred.
Center Cursor: In this mode the cursor is always as close as possible to
the center of the screen. When scrolling limits are reached, the cursor
will move toward the edge of the terminal display.
Visible Cursor: In this mode the cursor is always visible. The display is
scrolled vertically and horizontally to prevent the cursor from moving out
of view.
Locked: In this mode you can specify a starting row and column position
at which to lock the cursor. This would force every new screen to
automatically start its top left edge at the specified row and column
position.
Col: This is column number for the top left position of display. It
is applicable only with the ―Locked‖ scrolling option
Row: This is row number for the top left position of display. It is
applicable only with the ―Locked‖ scrolling option
NOTE: Only the starting position is locked. The user can still use scroll
bars, touch stylus, buttons, and remapped keys to scroll the screen. If
no scrolling is desired, you must hide or unmap these other controls.

Font
This tab holds advanced font settings for enhanced readability and international language
character glyphs.
Allow Proportional Fonts: Traditionally, only fixed pitch fonts have been used
with terminal emulation. This option, when enabled, will allow proportional fonts
in the font selection box. Some Asian language fonts are only available with
proportional spacing. Usually, the Asian fonts are ―linked‖ to the Tahoma font,
which is also proportional. To display all characters, this box can be checked
and the Tahoma font selected. Proportional fonts can also be used to improve
readability of the display if the host application does not require column
alignment of the screen (see Force Fixed Width Characters).
Force Proportional Characters: This option is enabled to force the display to
draw with proportional spacing even when the selected font is fixed pitch. This
setting may be required when a proportional Asian font is linked to a fixed pitch
font such as Courier New and Courier New is the selected font. This setting
overrides ―Force Fixed Width Characters‖.
Force Fixed Width Characters: This option will force the display to draw
proportional fonts with a fixed width spacing. This can result in irregular displays
where the narrow characters (e.g., 'i') appear scrunched to the left of their "cell"
and the wide characters (e.g., 'm') to overlap their neighbors on the right. This
setting is used to force a display into traditional column alignment and may be
needed with host applications that display tables or character based graphics.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 71
When forcing to fixed width, a "nominal" width must be computed for the font and
it is narrower than the widest characters. The next parameter can be used to
spread out the characters.
Width Factor: This applies to a factor to the "nominal" width used when
forcing proportional fonts to fixed width. A value of 100 is 100% of the
"nominal" width. Values larger than 100 spread out the characters and
values smaller than 100 squeeze them together. You may use "Force
Fixed Width" and the "Width Factor" with fixed-pitch fonts to get more
readable displays.

COM Port: This is the serial communications port to which the printer is attached.
Choices depend on the device. Users may select from COM, IrDA, Bluetooth, None, or
one of the Virtual COM (VCOM0 - 9) ports. The default value varies with the hardware
device. The None value can be selected to act as a ―sink‖. Printing to the None device
will always succeed. For printing to an infrared printer, select IrDA port. If IrDA is
selected, all settings except Timeout are ignored. Use the VCOMx ports for custom
connections such as virtual Bluetooth ports.
Baud Rate: The baud rate at which the communication device operates. It varies from
110 to 256K bits per second. Default is 9600.
Data Bits: The number of bits in the bytes transmitted and received. Default is 8.
The number of bits in the bytes transmitted and received. Default is 8.
Parity: The parity scheme to be used to communicate with the printer device. Default is
"None".
Stop Bits: The number of stop bits to be used. Default is 1.
Timeout: The amount of time to wait prior to aborting a connection if the printer is not
responding.
DTR Control: The DTR (data-terminal-ready) flow control. Default is "Disable".
RTS Control: The RTS (request-to-send) flow control. Default is "Disable"
CTS Out: The CTS (clear-to-send) signal monitoring for output flow control. If box is
checked and CTS is turned off, output is suspended until CTS is asserted again.
DSR Out: The DSR (data-set-ready) signal monitoring for output flow control. If this
member is TRUE and DSR is turned off, output is suspended until DSR is asserted again
XOnOff Xmit: When checked, use XON/XOFF flow control during transmission.
XOnOff Recv: When checked, use XON/XOFF flow control during reception.
Bluetooth Discovery
This button triggers the automatic discovery of Bluetooth devices (printers). It requires the
COM Port setting under Serial Port configuration to be ―BT Printer‖ or ―BT COM‖. A list of
discovered Bluetooth devices is provided in a selection list. Select your Bluetooth printer from
the list.

The Windows print queue uses Windows print protocols and assumes that the queue is
available on the network. You may be prompted for username and password if the print
queue is secured. Also, you should receive notification when the print job completes.
The print queue uses the following naming convention:
\\MyPrintServerName\PrintQueueName
\\192.168.1.223\PrintQueueName
To print directly to a network connected printer, enter the hostname or IP address of the
printer. By default this will connect to port 6101 and send all print content directly to this
port. Optionally, you can specify a different port.
The hostname uses the following naming convention:
hostname:port
where hostname is either a symbolic name or an IP address and port is a number.
Name or IP
address of the

The Options tab includes configuration for key remapping, Scripting, device access control,
Indicators, Automatic licensing and touch screen features.
All key remapping is configured right on the device. Configuration dialogs are accessible through
the ―Configure Keybars and Keys…‖ button. Custom remapping DLLs were supported until
version 4.1. These have been obsolete by on device dynamic key remapping. Custom remapping
DLLs are no longer supported.
With version 5.5, the Scripting capability has been enhanced significantly. You can import, edit,
test and run scripts right on the device. Scripts provide a powerful mechanism to automate
workflows. All scripting is configuration is accessible through the ―Configure Scripting‖ button. We
provide a separate Scripting Guide Manual which describes the CETerm Scripting capability in
detail.
Intermec Extended Commands: This setting is part of the ―Legacy Support‖. It
enables proprietary extensions from Intermec for controlling peripheral devices.
"Extended Commands" are extensions to the terminal emulation protocol data
stream (3270, 5250 or VT) that allow host applications to control serial printers,
card readers etc. All our emulators support Extended Commands for bi-
directional communication with peripherals such as Serial printers and Magnetic
Card Readers for all three terminal emulations.
Port: Intermec Extended Commands are sent to this port to access and control
peripheral devices.
Enable: Checking this box will enable support for Intermec Extended commands
Configure KeyBars and Keys:
This button invokes tabs for key remapping and Custom Keybar configuration.

Configure KeyBars and Keys
The ―Config KeyBars and Keys…‖ button is used to remap device hardware keys,
configure custom KeyBars and associate device application keys with operations (only on
Windows Mobile terminals)
NOTE: For better usability, with version 5.5, the tab order under ―Configure KeyBars and
Keys‖ has been changed. The ―KeyBar Cycle‖, ―Custom Bar‖ and ―App Keys‖ tabs have
been moved towards the end.
Select Keymap
A ―Keymap‖ is a collection of remap bindings which associate keys with corresponding
actions. Most hardware keys can be remapped to perform any action such as simulating
a function key, entering a string of text, sending a custom VT escape sequence or
running a Script. Keys that control screen brightness, sound volumes, and other Windows
CE actions, often cannot be remapped. The two main steps for key remapping are
selecting the type of Keymap to use, and editing the Keymap.
NOTE: Certain settings which are specific to the Operating System platform or to the
device are only visible in the device tailored versions of CETerm for that OS and / or
device.

Select Keymap Type: Selects ―how‖ the configured Keymap will apply to
connected host sessions. The available choices are:
Session: The key remapping is associated with this host session only
(say S1, if S1 is being configured). When you choose this selection, the
key remap bindings will not be available in another session (say S2 or S3
etc). The will only be active for the configured session.
Emulation: The key remapping is associated with a particular type of
emulation or host connection; such as 3270, 5250, VT or HTML. This
Keymap can be shared with other host sessions running the same host
type connection. As an example, if sessions S1 and S3 are configured
for 5250 emulations and S2 is configured for a Web Browser session,
then all 5250 Keymap configurations will be available to all 5250
sessions (S1 and S3). These will not be available to session S2 as it is
not a 5250 emulation session.
NOTE: The external key remap, where the key remap bindings are
loaded as part of a separate DLL, is no longer supported.
Include Common Map: CETerm provides a predefined set of key remap
bindings which are common to all sessions by default. When checked, the
Common keymap will be added to the session or emulation keymap. You can
also modify the Common keymap binding separately.
Device Specific Key remap configurations: Certain devices, like the
Honeywell (Hand Held Products) Dolphin series and the Compsee MAT
terminals may have device specific key remap bindings which can be loaded.
These key remaps are based on popular legacy overlays for various emulations.
You can enable inclusion of these key remaps using the device specific
configuration attributes.
These settings will only be visible when running the device tailored versions of
CETerm on applicable devices.
Disable Windows Action Keys: The Windows Mobile Operating System
includes an OS Shell to manage its special user interface. For devices running
Windows Mobile, the OS shell intercepts certain function keys like the F6 and F7
for volume up / down controls thus preventing their use in any application (like
CETerm). By enabling this setting, CETerm prevents the OS Shell from
intercepting these keys.
This setting is specific to the OS platform and is only visible in CETerm running
on Windows Mobile platform devices.
Edit Keymap
You can add, modify and remove key remap bindings using this configuration tab. The
current bindings for the default selected Keymap are visible in the table.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 79
Keymap: Select the Keymap you wish to edit. You may select the session
specific map for the current session (Session #), an emulation Keymap (3270,
5250, HTML, or VT), the Base Keymap, or the Common Keymap. When you
select the Keymap which you want to configure, the table is automatically
populated with existing configured bindings for that Keymap.
Key: This column shows the ASCII character or "Virtual Key" symbol for the
remapped physical key. If a symbol is not available, the key may be shown as a
hexadecimal value.
Flags: This column shows the type of key and any modifier keys, which
represent the key combination for this binding. The physical key along with the
configured modifier key must be pressed to invoke this Keymap.
V indicates a Virtual Key.
A indicates "Alt" is pressed with the key.
C indicates "Ctrl" is pressed with the key.
S indicates "Shift" is pressed with the key.
As an example, the third entry in the table of the image above shows a key
combination of (C)ontrol + (S)hift + C for a session ―Connect‖ action.
NOTE: If you have Meta Keys configured, you may see additional state key
options.
Action: This column shows the action that the key remapping invokes. If the key
is associated to invoke a "Text #" action, the current text is shown.

New: This button opens a New Key dialog to add a new key remap binding to
the selected Keymap. Make sure that you have correctly selected the Keymap to
which you want to add a new binding.
Edit: This button allows modification of the highlighted key binding from the list.
Tapping this button will open an Edit Key dialog. Alternatively you may double-
tap the entry in the list to modify it.
Delete: Pressing this button will delete the current highlighted key remapping
from the list.
Restore Map to Default: Tap this button to reset the current map to the default
contents.
NOTE: If you have enabled device specific key remaps to be included under the
―Select Keymap‖ tab, you must tap ―Restore Map to Default‖ button to include the
default key remap bindings for the selected emulation. You will see the table
being populated with the new key remap bindings for that emulation.
The same is true if you are disabling the use of device specific key remap
bindings.
New / Edit Key Dialog This dialog is used to edit existing Keymap bindings and add new
ones. If a new or edited Keymap binding conflicts with an existing binding, you will be
given a choice to apply or reject the new binding. Note that this dialog may vary in its
configuration attributes depending upon specific device tailored versions of CETerm,
which may include default key remap bindings for legacy support.
ASCII: When creating new keys, always use the "Virtual Key" (VK) mode unless
the VK code cannot be determined. VK codes may not be known usually for
non-standard hardware keys. If you know that the key you want to remap
generates an ASCII character but you cannot determine the VK code, then use
the "ASCII" mode and enter the character that is generated. Enter the desired
character in the box below.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 81
VK Code: Use the VK code for this key remap binding. Select the virtual key
from the dropdown list or enter a hexadecimal value in the form "0x5a".
Trap: This is a new feature added in version 5.5. If you are not sure about the
VK code associated with a physical key (or key combination) which you would
like to remap, simply tap this button. CETerm will then monitor the next key (or
key combination) you press and automatically enter the associated VK code for
that key (or key combination). This feature helps you ensure that you are
remapping the correct VK code associated with the physical key.
We recommend always using the Trap button to let CETerm determine the VK
code of the physical key that you want to remap.
Alt: If checked, "Alt" must be pressed with the key for this key remap.
Shift: If checked, "Shift" must be pressed with the key for this key remap.
Ctrl: If checked, "Ctrl" must be pressed with the key for this key remap.
!ASC - This option is only available for Meta key configuration. It means "Ignore
Alt, Shift and Control" states. When checked, the Meta key will be effective
regardless of the Alt, Shift, or Control states. Usually this option is checked to
allow the most flexible key combinations.
Toggle - This option is only available for Meta key configuration. When enabled
the Meta key will "toggle its state" each time the key is pressed. Otherwise, the
state is set when pressed and cleared when the key is released. Usually, this
option is checked.
NOTE: Some keyboards require the "key up" action of a key before another key
can be pressed. For these keyboards, the "toggle" option *must* be checked,
otherwise no other key can ever "see" the Meta state.
One-shot - This option is only available for Meta key configuration. Enabling this
setting will force the Meta key state to reset after the next key is pressed,
whether or not the next key was part of a Meta key translation. If this option is
unchecked, the Meta state remains set until the Meta key is pressed again.
Usually, this option is checked.
Action: Select the desired action from the list. This is the action that the key will
be remapped to.
Text: This edit field is visible only if a "Text #" action is selected. You may edit
the associated text directly. It can include an IDA code (see Appendix), a Script,
an escape sequence or simple ASCII user string.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 82
User Text
All user text strings may be edited via this tab. Text strings may contain special escape
sequences for VT or sequences of actions:
\r - return
\t - tab
\e - ESC for VT sequences
\x5a - hexadecimal value
\IDA_action\ - invoke action
NOTE: The \IDA_action\ text is a standard invented and used by Naurtech. This allows
users to invoke almost any application operation or event. Please refer to the Appendix to
lookup a specific IDA_action code.
Edit: Highlight a user text entry in the list and tap this button to open the edit
mode. Alternatively you may tap (not double-tap) the entry a second time to open
the edit mode. Once opened, enter the user text desired. The images above
show some samples.
Load from File: Tap this button to select a text file from which you can load user
text entries. The text file can have up to 64 entries. Each entry, delimited by a
CRLF, is imported into a separate user text slot.
The file replaces the current text contents that may already be present in the
table.

Keybar Cycle
A KeyBar configuration consists of both the KeyBar Cycle and any Custom or template
KeyBars. A KeyBar is a set of soft button keys visible at one time. The KeyBar Cycle is a
collection of KeyBars that can be visible. The user "cycles" through the collection of
KeyBars by tapping the arrow buttons on either end of the current KeyBar. Each key on
the KeyBar is associated with a host or emulator operation. Users are allowed a
maximum of eighteen KeyBars, six of which can be customized. The same KeyBar may
be added multiple times to the KeyBar Cycle.
Add to Above: Tapping this button will add the highlighted KeyBar from the
bottom listbox to the top (selected) list of KeyBars. Users will be able to cycle
through only the selected KeyBars in the application. A KeyBar which has
already been added to the selected list cannot be added again.
Delete: This button removes the highlighted Keybar from the selected list of
KeyBars (top listbox)
Custom Bar
If a Custom KeyBar (―Custom Keys 1‖ through ―Custom Keys 6‖) is selected in the
KeyBar Cycle, it can be configured by tapping the "Custom Bar" tab.
Order in which the KeyBars will
"cycle". Can include pre-defined
KeyBars and Custom KeyBars
This is the complete list of
available KeyBars. You can
select from these predefined
KeyBars
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 84
Select Custom KeyBar: Select the ―Custom Keys N‖ Custom KeyBar for which
you would like to configure the keys. This is a dropdown list with all the available
Custom KeyBars.
Add to Above: Tapping this button will add the highlighted key from the bottom
listbox to the top (selected) list of KeyBar keys.
Delete: This button removes the highlighted Keybar key from the selected list of
keys (top listbox)
Enable Custom Context Menu: The keys on ―Custom Keys 6‖ KeyBar can also
appear on the Context Menu. Enable this checkbox to enable the context menu,
which may be invoked by tapping and holding the stylus anywhere in the terminal
display area. Any operation configured in Custom Keys 6 will appear on this
context menu. This option does not work for any other Custom Bars other than
―Custom Keys 6‖/
You can add up to a total of 9 key buttons on each Custom Bar (Fewer on some
devices). The entry for "Previous KeyBar" cannot be removed and must exist in each
KeyBar to allow for "cycling" between KeyBars. Typically, the last key should be ―Next
KeyBar‖ for cycling to the next KeyBar.
One powerful capability of the KeyBar is the ability to associate keys with User Text and
Scripts. Key entries "Text 1" through "Text 20" or ―Script 1‖ through ―Script 20‖ may be
associated with KeyBar keys as well. The ―x‖ in Text x or Script x corresponds to the
respective User Text or Script slot. Thus if you have a text string configured in the User
Text, this string can be submitted to the host application by tapping on the "Text X" key in
a Custom KeyBar.
Select the Custom KeyBar
that you want to configure
This is a list of keys that will
appear on the Custom
KeyBar Cycle. The order of
keys in this list dictates the
order of appearance on the
Custom KeyBar
This is a list of all the
available ―action‖ keys and
operations, which can be
selected. A "Separator"
places a vertical separation
line. The "Empty" key leaves
an empty space on the
KeyBar.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 85
Tapping this key will send the complete text string to the current cursor location. For VT
terminal sessions, escape sequences can be added to the User Text string. This allows
users to configure custom escape sequences as required by their host applications.
Escape sequences can be entered into the User Text in the following format:
\e = Escape
\n = Newline
\r = Enter or Return
\t = Tab
\xDD = Hexadecimal value
Scripts loaded in specific script slots (Script x) can be associated with a Custom KeyBar
button.
App Keys
Windows Mobile devices have hardware buttons that launch
specific applications. These ―Application Keys‖ are typically
configured using an applet in the Control Panel. You can re-
map these keys to invoke emulator or host operations. The
App Keys dialog is used to configure the Application button
remapping.
NOTE: This functionality is only associated with Windows
Mobile platform devices.
NOTE: If ―Record‖ is one of the default application key
actions, you may need to change it in
[Start][Settings][Buttons] so that the application
keys can be remapped
Remap Application Keys: Checking this box will allow remapping of the
application keys
Key: This is a list of the all the hardware application keys available on the device.
This list will vary depending on the device. Select the Application key that you
would like to remap.
Select key action below: This is a list of actions and operations that you can
associate with the Application Key selected above. After selecting the Key to
remap, select the desired action. Only one action may be associated with a Key.
Configure Scripting
The ―Configure Scripting…‖ button is used to create, import, edit, test and associate scripts. The
Scripting capability in CETerm provides a platform to automate workflows with powerful
JavaScript scripting and Workflow automation objects. It provides a "solutions platform" to
automate and customize business tasks.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 86
Scripts can be launched by button or key presses, or triggered by events such as specific host
data detected on the screen or successful barcode scanner input. Scripts can be edited and
tested directly on the device. Scripts can also interact with the Web Browser and native
JavaScript. A script can be as simple as an automated login or as complex as reformatting a TE
session with a Web Browser interface to improve productivity.
General Settings
The General tab maintains settings for enabling, running, permissions and testing scripts. All
settings on this tab apply to all scripts configured in the Scripts tab.
Enable: This is the main setting to enable or disable the scripting capability. This
checkbox should be set for the Scripting engine to be loaded and initialized inside
CETerm. The default value is unchecked.
Re-Initialize: This button can be used if you have made changes to the permissions or
your scripts and you wish to re-load these changes. The re-initialization does not take
place until the dialog is closed.
Script Timeout: This setting is provided to limit the duration of script execution. This
limit is useful when developing new scripts and as a safeguard against a script with an
―infinite loop‖. A value of 0 will disable the timeout. During execution, a script can modify
the timeout value and reset the timer to allow additional execution time. The default value
is 300 seconds; a little over 3 minutes.
Show Script Errors: Enable this checkbox if you want CETerm to display errors if these
are encountered in testing your scripts. Only syntax errors are detected.
Allow File/Registry Read: Enable this checkbox if you want to allow scripts running in
CETerm to have the ability to read data from the device registry.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 87
Allow File/Registry Write: Enable this checkbox if you want to allow scripts running in
CETerm to have the ability to write and modify data in the device registry.
Allow Program Launch: Enable this checkbox if you want scripts running in CETerm to
have the capability to launch external programs.
Editing Scripts
Scripts are edited on the Scripts tab. There are 64 script slots. The size of the script in each slot
is limited to about 260,000 characters (about one-half megabyte under Windows CE). Scripts
can also be loaded dynamically from files. A script slot will usually contain function definitions,
which will be loaded into the engine, or executable statements such as function calls which may
be bound to a key, toolbar, or menu.
After selecting a script slot and tapping the Edit button, an Edit Script dialog will appear.
The edit dialog allows Import and Export of scripts. For initial script development it may
be easier to edit on your desktop PC, copy the script to the device, and Import the script.
Smaller changes are easily made on the device.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 88
The checkbox Load at Startup should be checked for all scripts that contain function
definitions that you want to have available in the script engine. The checkbox should not
be checked for slots that contain scripts that are bound to keys or other activations.
Load at Startup should be checked for all event handler definitions. All scripts with
Load at Startup will be loaded into the script engine when it starts with CETerm startup,
or when Re-Initialize has been pressed on the General tab.
After importing or editing a script, you may want to tap the Test/Load button. If the script
engine was previously enabled, the script will be executed. If the current script is a
function definition, it will be checked for correct syntax and will be made available to the
script engine. If the current script contains executable statements or is a function call, it
will simulate activating the script. In general, you do not want to use Test/Load for
executable statements.
Remember to tap Test/Load or Re-Initialize (with Load at Startup checked) after
making changes to a script, if you want those changes loaded into the script engine.
Also, Test/Load will not work if you have just checked Enable but not yet accepted the
configuration changes.
The Template button displays a list of script templates which correspond to the scripting
event handlers. Select a template and tap OK to have it replace the current contents of
the script being edited. The template scripts show some of the ways to use CETerm
Automation Objects.
Detailed configuration and programming for Scripting is covered in detail in the Naurtech
CETerm Scripting Guide, which is available from our website.
Access
The following configuration tab is invoked from the Advanced button. It maintains all settings for
configuration Access control and Operating System lockout.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 89
Hide Start Bar: When checked, the Windows CE or Windows Mobile ―Start‖ bar will
be hidden. This option prevents users from launching other applications on the
device. For Windows Mobile platform devices, it also removes the smart minimize
control (little ―x‖ on the top right of the Start bar which may be used to ―close‖ the
application) and allows the terminal screen to occupy the full display area of the
device. This also provides an additional row, which may be used by the terminal
display.
Hide Start Menu / Disable Start Menu: When checked, the ―Start‖ button will be
hidden (for Windows Mobile devices) or disabled (for Windows CE devices). The
Start bar however will still be present. This setting prevents users from launching
other applications yet provides the visual status controls (volume, WLAN, battery,
clock, etc) on the Start bar.
Disable App Exit: When checked, this option disables the application exit button.
This prevents the users from exiting out of our application.
Exit Now: This button is enabled only when the ―Disable App Exit‖ option is checked.
It allows the administrator to save the configuration and exit when ―Disable App Exit‖
is checked. Typical use would be for an administrator to set all configuration settings
including a configuration access control password and exit the application using this
button. Subsequently, users will not be able to exit the application and a password
will be required to access the configuration options.
Set Password: This button prompts the user for a configuration password. When set,
users are prompted for this password prior to viewing or modifying the session
configuration. This capability prevents users from changing the configuration settings
in controlled environments.
Windows Mobile Windows CE
NOTE: To remove the password, clear the password fields and press OK..

Info Items
The Info Items tab holds attributes related to configuration and display of various
Indicators. Indicators may be displayed in both terminal emulation or Web Browser
sessions to give visual status for RF signal strength, battery level etc. Indicators may also
be controlled and managed using scripts. These Indicators attributes should not be
confused with the ―Information buttons‖ in a Configurable KeyBar.
Indicator: This is the type of Indicator for which the various configuration settings will
be applied. Selection includes Battery State, RF Strength, Keyboard Mode and
Browser Loading Indicators.
Update: Enabling this check box will force a repaint update of the Indicator status.
This setting should be enabled if the Indicator is displayed on the screen.
Interval: This is the frequency of update in milli-seconds.
Alert: Enabling this check box will configure an alert notification message if the
Indicator strength falls below a certain threshold level.
Level: This is the threshold level, in percentage, below which a notification prompt is

Manage (Automated Licensing)
The Manage tab maintains all configuration attributes to manage the licensing,
configuration and deployment of the application. It provides information related to license
registration and maintains attributes for automated licensing.
Server URL: This is the URL to the XML based license registration file. It may be
local to the device or may reside on a web server. Exact format of the URL
should be:
XML file on the device:
file:///license.xml
file:///Flash FX/license.xml
XML file on a Web server:
http://MyWebServerAlias/license.xml
http://x.y.z.w/license.xml
Please refer to the Automated Licensing section for more details.
NOTE: If you have spaces in your URL path, you may need to escape these using
%20 escape sequences. Note that the capability of the XML parser available on your
terminal varies with the platform and version of the Windows CE OS running on it.

Touch
This tab provides attributes to control touch screen interactions.
Enable Touch Features: This is a global setting for all touch features. When
checked, touch screen features are enabled. You must also individually enable
the granular touch features for these to work. When un-checked, no touch
features are enabled.
Double-tap Enter: When checked, a double-tap action with the stylus will
simulate pressing the Enter key
Horizontal Panning: When checked, allows panning in the horizontal direction
Vertical Panning: When checked, allows panning in the vertical direction.
NOTE: Using the screen panning functionality, you can ―tap-hold and drag‖ the
terminal display screen with a stylus, to scroll to areas of the host screen which
were not visible.
Cursor Positioning: When checked, a single stylus tap moves the cursor to the
location of the tap (IBM emulation only).
Function Key Hotspots: When checked, enables Hotspot functionality for
function keys. When enabled, you will be able to just tap on the function key text
(such as F7 = Prev F8 = Next etc) on the terminal display to invoke the
corresponding function key
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 94
NOTE: A Hotspot is a text on the terminal display where a user can tap
with a stylus to execute a function. This allows a user to interact with a
host application with minimal needs for special host keys.
A simple example might be the use of PF Keys. An operation associated
with a PF key might be displayed on the terminal screen as "PF1 =
Help". CETerm automatically detects this as a Hotspot and will send a
PF1 key to the host when you tap on the ―PF1‖ text on the terminal
display. Refer to the Hotspots section for further details.
Menu Item Hotspots: Check this attribute to enable Hotspot functionality for
menu items. When enabled, you will be able to just tap the menu item number on
the terminal display to invoke the corresponding menu item operation. An
example of this would be a menu such as:
1. Shipping
2. Receiving
3. Inventory
The user can just tap on ―1.‖ to invoke a ―Shipping operation.
IBM Hotspots: 3270 and 5250 applications have several keywords, which are
commonly used across many applications. Check this attribute to enable these
commonly used keywords as Hotspots. Examples are “Enter”, “More” and
“Bottom”. IBM Mouse and light pen activation must have IBM Hotspots
enabled.
VT Hotspots: VT host applications have several keywords, which are commonly
used across many applications.

Scanner
Device tailored versions of our Emulators and Web Browser provide integrated support
for barcode scanners. Scanner options may be configured and updated from the
"Scanner" tab.
From the application menu, Select [Session][Configure] or tap the
"Configure" button on the toolbar.
A "Configure" dialog box will come up.
Choose the "Scanner" tab
Enable: Checking this box will enable control of the barcode scanner. The
scanner should be disabled if you must use a separate scanner wedge
application. For all device tailored versions, we recommend that you let CETerm
control the barcode scanner. Default is enabled.
Enable Aimer: Some devices support an "Aimer" option with their barcode
scanner that appears as a laser pointer prior to scanning a barcode. Checking
this box enables such an aimer pointer. This setting is only visible if the barcode
scanner supports the functionality. Default is unchecked.
Preamble: This is a prefix ASCII string that will be pre-pended to any scanned
data. Default is blank.
Postamble: This is a suffix ASCII string or control command that will be sent
after completion of a successful scan. Default is blank.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 97
Scan Millisec: This attribute controls the scan duration. If a barcode is not read
within this time, the scanner will shut off and a failure tone is sounded. The
default value is 0 which is unlimited. Some scanners do not timeout regardless
of this setting.
Aim Millisec: This attribute controls the duration of the aimer pattern prior to
scanning of a barcode.
Verify Input: When using IBM 5250 emulation and if Verify Input is checked, the
input field at the cursor location will be checked to determine if there is sufficient
space for the scanned data. If there is no input field or there is insufficient space,
a warning will be displayed and the data will be discarded.
Symbology
Depending upon the device and built-in scanner, our Emulators and Web Browser
support about twenty different barcode symbologies. Individual symbologies may be
enabled, disabled and configured.
From the application menu, Select [Session][Configure] or tap the
"Configure" button on the toolbar.
A "Configure" dialog box will come up.
Choose the "Symbology" tab
The list box on the top left contains a list of barcode symbologies supported by the
scanner. This list of symbologies varies with every device. Configuration parameters
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 98
associated with each symbology are displayed with the selection of a symbology. These
configuration parameters vary depending upon the symbology selected.
Enable: Check this box to enable the selected symbology for decode. If desired,
you may enable a subset of symbologies from the complete list. On certain
devices, barcode symbology initialization can take a couple of seconds. To
minimize this initialization time on such devices, it is recommended that you can
enable only those symbologies that are being used for scanning and disable all
other symbologies.
Report Check: Check this box to report (or return) the check digit as part of the
barcode data.
NOTE: Each symbology has a separate set of configuration parameters
associated with it. Selecting the symbology from the list will make these
visible for configuration and update. Please refer to the individual barcode
symbology references in the documentation for the handheld device.
Advanced: This button opens advanced configuration dialog for the selected
barcode symbology. All settings configured and updated in this dialog are
associated with the currently selected symbology.
Data Length Min: This is the minimum length, in characters, for the decoded
barcode. Specifying a minimum length will require every scanned barcode to be
at least the minimum length. Possible values depend on the symbology. Default
is usually 0 which implies no minimum length.
Data Length Max: This is the maximum length, in characters, for the decoded
barcode. Specifying a maximum length will require every scanned barcode to be
at most the maximum length. Possible values depend on the symbology. Default
is usually 0 which implies no maximum length.
Strip Data Start: This is the number of characters to be stripped from the
beginning of the decoded barcode. Default is 0, which does not strip any
characters.
Strip Data End: This is the number of characters to be stripped from the end of
the decoded barcode. Default is 0, which does not strip any characters.
Custom ID: Checking this box will enable the Custom ID when used with the %L
pre-amble or post-amble code. A %C in a pre-amble or post-amble will insert the
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 99
custom ID regardless of the setting of this box. The custom ID text may be
configured in the edit box.
NOTE: Custom ID field may be used when you have a requirement to
add different pre-ambles or post-ambles for two or more barcode
symbologies. For example you may need to add a prefix ―UPC‖ to all
UPC-A barcodes and a prefix ―C128‖ to all Code 128 barcodes. In such a
case, you can set a custom id of ―UPC‖ for UPC-A symbology and a
custom id ―C128‖ for Code 128 symbology. Placing a ―%C‖ in either the
pre-amble or post-amble would then add the corresponding string based
upon the symbology of the barcode decoded.
Magnetic Stripe Reader
The device tailored versions of CETerm supports a powerful feature to select the desired data
fields from the Magnetic Card Reader and to present the data to the host or Web Browser
application. Support for MSR is configurable only for certain device tailored versions, which have
an integrated MSR. Devices includes terminals from Motorola, Fujitsu and Intermec.
To select the desired data fields, a "Match" expression is specified, which can identify and "tag"
fixed or variable character locations. The tagged matches are substituted into the "Replace"
expression to send the desired data to the host application.
Match Expressions
The Match expression is a limited form of "regular expressions" as used in text processing
languages such as Perl. As such, it is very powerful, but can seem complicated. If you need
assistance configuring the Match, please contact support@naurtech.com. We will give some
examples of Match and Replace expressions to illustrate their use.
When the data is read from the card, it is available in the format
"T1:DataFromTrackOneT2:DataFromTrackTwo".
Example 1
To remove the "T1:" and "T2:" identifiers and just return the data, use:
Match: "^T1:(.*)T2:(.*)$"
Replace: "\1\2"
The "hat" '^' at the beginning of the match forces it to start at the beginning of the data
and the dollar sign ($) at the end requires a match to the end of the data.
The first set of parenthesis surround the part of the match which is substituted for "\1" in
the Replace string and similarly for the second set of parenthesis and "\2".
You may specify up to 9 sets of parenthesis to identify 9 substitutions.
The literal characters "T1:" in the match string must match the characters in the card
data.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 100
The special ".*" means to match zero or more characters; the '.' represents any character.
Example 2
We can also specify a fixed number of characters to identify fixed field locations:
Match: "^T1:.{4}(.{20}).*T2:([0-9]{10})"
Replace: "Name:\1 Account:\2"
The quantity between curly brackets "{}" is an exact number of characters to match.
The first ".{4}" will match, and ignore, the first four characters of track 1.
The "(.{20})" will match the next 20 characters which can be specified in the replace text
as "\1".
The next ".*" skips past the remainder of track 1 data.
The "([0-9]{10})" says to match exactly 10 digits and make them available as "\2"
because this is the second set of parenthesis.
The "[0-9]" means any character in the set from '0' to '9'. This may also be represented as
"[0123456789]".
Example 3
As a third example, we can identify the data between "delimiter" characters. Often, a cardholder
name is found between '^' characters.
Match: "\^([^^]+)\^.*T2:.*=([0-9]{20})"
Replace: "Name:\1 Account:\2"
The leading "\^" means to match the '^' character, not the start of the data.
The backslash '\' removes the "special" meaning of the '^'.
The "([^^]+)" may seem complicated. Remember that the "[...]" identifies a set of
characters to match. If there is a leading '^' in the set, it means to match anything
*except* the characters in the set. For example, "[^abc]" means any characters except for
'a', 'b', and 'c'. The second '^' in the set has *no* special meaning and is interpreted as a
literal '^' character. So, this means to match any characters *except* a '^'.
The plus sign '+' means to match one or more of the characters designated by the set, so
this will match one or more characters up to, but not including, the next '^' character. The
result is that we identify all characters between a pair of '^' characters and assign this to
"\1" for replacement.
After the "T2:" we have ".*=" which will match any characters and then an equal sign.
Following the equal sign is "([0-9]{20})" which will match a 20 digit account number.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 101
Replace Expressions
The Replace string can have more than literal text and the match replacement symbols. You can
insert special characters, special keys, and emulator actions. There are 3 levels of substitution for
the Replace string.
Level 1
& - replaced by "whole match"
\d - where d is a digit [1-9] replaced by
matched substring.
\\ - replaced by \.
Level 2
%T - replaced by MSR read time
%D - replaced by MSR read date
Level 3
Additional special character replacements.
NOTE: Each of these must have the backslash doubled (escaped) to pass through Level 1 as a
single backslash. We show only single backslashes below.
1. A backslash '\' introduces special characters:
\b - Backspace
\c - CSI character (VT)
\e - Escape character (VT)
\n - Newline
\r - Carriage Return (Enter for IBM)
\t - Tab
\xdd
\Xdd - where d is a hexadecimal digit 0-9,
a-f, or A-F, will insert the
equivalent ASCII character.
\IDA_xxx\ - replaced by the specified emulator
or program function. There must
be a trailing backslash at the
end of the IDA action name.
Use the single character versions
if they are available.
Some common IDA actions:
IDA_FIELD_EXIT - IBM field exit
IDA_ERASE_EOF - erase to end of field
IDA_PF6 - IBM PF6 key (F6 for VT)
Tips:
The quotes on the Match and Replace examples above are not entered into the configuration
in CETerm.
Use the '^' and '$' "anchors" when possible to improve the match reliability.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 102
Use fixed field lengths when possible for more efficient matches.
Use '+' or a range {n,m} where possible rather than '*'. The '*' range can match "no data" and
may result in more mis-reads.
Automated Licensing
The automated licensing capability simplifies setting of license registration keys. When the user
attempts to connect a session, a license file can be queried to provide the license registration
key. This license file can reside locally on the device or on any web server. It is referenced using
a URL configured in our application. CETerm will only query the license file if the device is
currently un-licensed and if a URL has been specified in the CETerm configuration.
The license URL is saved with all other CETerm configuration variables. If a master configuration
is created from this device, then all cloned devices will request their key on their first connection
attempt. The license URL may also be specified directly in a registry value that is preloaded into
the device during a cold-boot restore or from a generic default configuration package.
In the simplest case, the URL refers to a license.xml file, which is a static XML page that can be
returned by any web server. The XML is parsed to extract the key. Here is a sample of the XML
document:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<CETerm>
<! Licenses for Motorola (Symbol) MC9090 terminals -->
<license>
<id>1E00040099409997</id>
<user>End User Company</user>
<key>42AA330245FE55D245C60460D22C05B0</key>
</license>
<license>
<id>290006000B401680</id>
<user> End User Company </user>
<key>D4A1189D796B0CFD969361ED72B77AB5</key>
</license>
<! Licenses for Intermec CV60 terminals -->
<license>
<id>00:A0:F8:6D:81:5D</id>
<user> End User Company </user>
<key>9C5D0D771BA849386D33A989AFECECDB</key>
</license>
<! Licenses Honeywell Dolphin 9500 terminals -->
<license>
<id>000056627</id>
<user> End User Company </user>
<key>9C538377017849382222A989AF345CDB</key>
</license>
</CETerm>
There may be any number of <license> elements in the file served to the device. Note that there
are no hyphen separators in the <key> element. The product element, <CETerm> in this case,
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 103
must match the Naurtech product in use. The license URL may reference a file residing on a web
server or on the device. The following syntax may be used to specify the license file:
If license file is residing locally on the device:
file:///license.xml
If license file is residing on a web server:
http://MyWebServerAlias/license.xml
http://192.168.5.221/license.xml
Tips:
You can easily concatenate registration keys from multiple license.xml files into a single
license.xml file. All that is required is an editor like Notepad. Make sure you copy all tags
between <license> and </license> from the source license.xml file into the license.xml
which holds all the concatenated keys.
Here are some common error codes:
0x80070490
License not found in XML document, check your XML. Validate that
the license ID of your terminal is present in the license.xml file.
0x800c0006
XML document not found, check your URL path and location of
license.xml file on the server or device.
0x80040154
XML or SAX Parser not found on device. Unsupported or missing
Microsoft components.
0x80004005
General failure. Catch all error code.
The following steps should be followed to install the new ―automated licensing‖ capability:
1. Install the new version of CETerm on your terminal. This should be version 5.0 or
higher. Run it
2. On the device, go to the Manage tab
[Session] -> [Configure] -> [Options] -> [Advanced] -> [Manage]
Enter the URL to web server where CETerm should look for the license.xml file
The license.xml file should have a license ID and corresponding registration key for
*this* device. Tap OK, all the way out.
3. Configure and Connect to your host. If there are no errors, license registration is
transparent. You can validate registration by looking at the About box
File -> About
You should see your registered company userid.
If you prefer to configure the server URL directly using a device / application management
tool, you can directly write the following key into the device registry.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 104
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]
[Software]

NOTE>> The product name ―CETerm‖ in the registry key example above will change to
respective product names for CE3270, CE5250 and CEVT220.
Session Interaction
CETerm and all single emulation products allow up to five simultaneous host sessions. Any one
or all of these sessions may be simultaneously connected to a host, but only one session is in the
foreground at any time. This is the active session and it receives all user interaction. Connected
sessions in the background maintain their host session connections and update their (hidden)
screen content.
Multiple sessions
With version 5.5, you can run up to five independent sessions simultaneously. You can navigate
between these sessions either from the application menu or by using the "Next live session"
hotkey. The current active session is indicated in the application [Session] menu as shown
below. Host addresses configured for each of the host sessions are indicated as part of the
session names.
Tip: To jump to the next connected host session; use the hotkey [Ctrl][Shift][J]
Password protection
All sessions may be password protected for security. You can set a password for a host session
by first configuring the session and connecting to the host.
Up to five simultaneous host sessions

Once connected, from the application menu select [Session][Password]. This will
prompt with a password dialog.
Enter the password.
Next time you attempt to connect this session, you will be prompted to enter the session
password. If the password is incorrect, session will not connect.
Note: If you forget your session password and can no longer access your session, please
contact us at support@naurtech.com
Connecting / Disconnecting from Host
To connect to a host, configure the session parameters and select "Connect" from the application
menu. Only disconnected sessions may be connected. Once connected, you may disconnect the
host session by selecting "Disconnect" from the application menu. You must configure the host
session prior to attempting a connection. You cannot change the host address once the session
is connected. These are grayed out for connected sessions.
From the application menu select [Session][Connect] to connect or
[Session][Disconnect] to disconnect. You may also tap the "Connect / Disconnect "
button on the toolbar.

Auto-Launch when device boots
You can configure our application to automatically launch when the device boots. This can simply
be done by placing a shortcut in the \Windows\StartUp folder on the device.
Make sure the Naurtech client is installed correctly and you can see an icon on the Start
Menu
On the device, run Windows file explorer [Start][Programs][Windows Explorer]
Navigate to the \Windows\Desktop folder
Highlight the shortcut ―Naurtech CExxxx‖, where xxxx is the product specified
Select [Edit][Copy] from the Windows Explorer menu
Navigate back to the \Windows\StartUp folder
From the Windows Explorer menu, select [Edit][Paste]
NOTE: You can also follow these steps from the mobile device explorer running on your
desktop, if your device is connected via active sync to it.
Auto-Start a host Session
You can configure sessions to automatically connect to the host when the emulator starts. You
can enable this from the advanced connection configuration setting.
From the application menu, select [Session][Configure]
In the "Connection" tab, select the Advanced button. This will open the advanced
connection settings dialog
Select the ―General‖ tab
Enable the "Auto Connect" checkbox
Hit OK all the way out of the dialogs
Network Check on Connect
When any of our Emulators and Web Browsers is configured to automatically launch during a
device boot and then connect to your host application, the underlying network may not have
completed initialization before our application attempts to use the network. You can enable the
setting [Session][Configure][Advanced][Check Network on connect] to cause our
application to detect network availability prior to attempting a host connection.
As an alternative, you can also introduce a delay during the startup process. This is the older
approach to resolving the issue and is no longer recommended. A delay causes our application
to wait until the underlying wireless TCP/IP network is available. The delay will allow time for the
device to make an RF association with the access points and perform the needed network
initialization.
The length of this initial delay will vary from one network to another. It is recommended that you
change the ―Initial Sleep‖ delay settings to match your network requirements.
From the application menu, select [Session][Configure]
In the "Connection" tab, select the Advanced button. This will open the advanced
connection settings dialog.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 107
Enter a value in the ―Initial Sleep‖ edit box. The default is 0 meaning no delay. This value
is in seconds.
Wherever possible, you may consider using the ―Check Network on Connect‖ attribute to achieve
a more optimal equivalent result.
Run a Script
Please refer to the Naurtech CETerm Scripting Guide for detailed description.
Use barcodes to invoke Operations or Keystrokes
For all our Emulators and Web Browser, you can scan a barcode with special content to simulate
Keystrokes. In fact, any application operation can be invoked via ID action (IDA) codes with this
approach. The barcode can be any symbology, but "Extended Code 39" is a good choice.
Extended Code 39 is also called the "Full ASCII" mode of Code 39. By using two-character
sequences, it can represent the needed backslash and underscore characters.
With Extended Code 39 symbology, the scanner is often configured to require a '*' as a start and
stop character. Make sure your generated barcodes are compliant with your scanner
configuration whether you use Code 39 or some other symbology.
The content of the barcode is in the form: *\IDA_name\* where name is the "Symbolic Name" of
the IDA action. These values are unique to our application.
There is a ―Free 3 of 9 Extended‖ font available for Microsoft Windows operating systems, which
may be used to represent text into Extended Code 39 barcode. You can download this from the
Naurtech support knowledgebase.
Note that if an IDA action is decoded at the start of a barcode, all additional characters are
ignored. Also, there is no "stripping" of characters and no pre- or post-ambles are sent. Any
barcode length restrictions may still be imposed by the symbology configuration.
Here are some samples containing special host key and application operation barcodes

Display Indicators (RF & Battery Strength …)
You can display visual Indicators for RF and Battery strength in your TE or Web Browser
sessions. For optimal usage of the precious screen real estate, you can select an Indicator icon of
your preference. You may drag the Indicator or lock it at a specific location. Double tapping on the
indicator will display a popup dialog with details information. You can also configure a low
threshold percentage. If the Indicator strength falls below this threshold, you will receive a
notification. To configure:
From the application menu, select [Session][Configure][Options] tab
Select the Advanced button and then the [Info Items] tab.
To enable an Indicator, select it from the list and enable the ―Update‖ and ―Enabled‖
checkboxes.
You can also include the RF and Battery strength Indicators on the Configurable KeyBar so these

Play a different audio tone / sound on my device
Audio tones can be played using the built in Extended command support within all Naurtech
Emulators. Users can use the "Tone" extended command to cause the system to play a specified
tone. This is supported through the "extended commands". The syntax is:
#T<volume><frequency><length>
<volume>
is specified in columns 4-6. Range is between 000 and 255
<frequency>
is specified in columns 7-9. Range is between 000 and 030
<length>
is specified in columns 10-12. Range is between 001 and 010
You can also play any "system sound" or a .wav file on CE devices that support .wav files. To
play any .wav file on the device the syntax is the same except that the "Volume", "Frequency",
and "Length" parameters are used directly to construct a filename. You may use any 9 characters
for the sound name / filename. Do not put in the (.wav) extension, it is assumed. More than 9
characters are ignored. If you have a shorter filename, insert leading spaces so that the filename
ends at the 9th character.
If the requested sound does not exist on the device, a default sound will play. For development
purposes you may want to use a standard system sound and then find or create your custom
"alert sound" later. You can look for .wav files in the \Windows directory for standard sounds.
If only one unique sound is needed, it will be easier to configure that sound in the ―Beep Sound‖
under [Session]->[Configure]->[Display]. The normal VT Bell character will activate
this sound

Key Remapping and Configuration
All Naurtech Emulators and Web Browsers provide functionality for key remapping and input.
Users can choose one or more of the following mechanisms for key remapping and input.
Remap physical hardware keys on the device. Details for this functionality are discussed
in the ―Keyboard Key Remapping‖ section below.
Remap hardware keys or KeyBar buttons and associate these with a Script. Details for
this functionality are discussed in the ―Naurtech CETerm Scripting Guide‖. You can
download this from our website.
Configure Windows CE application keys. Details for this functionality are discussed in the
―Keyboard Key Remapping‖ section below.
Configure ―Meta Keys‖ which may be used in conjunction with other keys to create
unique key combinations to remap application operations or host key actions.
Configure one or more soft KeyBars. Users may select from predefined templates or
customize their own KeyBars. Details for this functionality are discussed in the
―Configurable KeyBar‖ section below
Configure a Context Menu KeyBars. Details for this functionality are discussed in the
―Context Menu‖ section below.
Keyboard Key Remapping
CETerm can be configured to map any physical keyboard key on the device to any host action,
application operation, user text, IDA code, macro or Script.
Users can directly configure the key remap bindings using on-device dialogs. The typical
approach should be to use "emulation specific" maps, which apply to all sessions using the same
emulation type, such as VT220. In special cases, it may be necessary to define a map, which
applies only to one session. In this case you should define and use the "session specific" map.
Session specific maps are more work to configure because they must be defined individually for
each session.
To simplify configuration of keys that are common to all sessions and emulations, there is a
"Common" map, which can be "added" to the "Emulation" or "Session" maps by checking the
"Include Common Map" box. The Common map can be edited.
Lastly, there is the situation when a session is not connected to the host. In this disconnected
state, all sessions share a common key mapping which is independent of the session emulation
type. This mapping is called the "Unconnected" or "Base" map. The Base map can be edited or
an external Base can be selected.
Please refer to the configuration section of this manual for details on creating customized key
remap bindings.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 111
NOTE: External key remap using KMAPCET.DLL is no longer supported. This is the old way
of configuring key remapping. Please use on device key remapping.
Remap a hardware key
You can configure your device to re-map any physical keyboard key on the device to any of the
following:
Another key
An application operation such as "Jump to Next Session" or "Print"
A host specific key such as "F4" or "Field Exit"
An escape sequence such as "Esc[15~"
A text string such as "My input string"
A NULL or no operation which will prevent use of that key
A Script
This remapping may be configured specific to either a session or an emulation type (such as VT,
5250, 3270 etc). Follow these steps to remap a hardware key:
1. From the application menu, select [Session][Configure]
2. Go to the "Options" tab and click the "Configure Keybars and Keys..." button
3. Go to the "Select Keymap" tab. Select the custom keymap to be specific to this
particular session or an emulation type (3270, 5250 or VT). Generally it is recommended
that you use an "Emulation" keymap type. The "Unconnected Keymap" is used when
the session is not connected to the host.
4. Go to the "Edit Keymap" tab. Say you want to customize the following key remap:
Key Sequence
New key remapping
F1
"W" key
Ctrl + 1
"Next live session"
F5
"Esc[13~" escape sequence
F8
"Erase Input"
F9
"my custom input" text string
Up Arrow
Disable this key
5. From the "Keymap" dropdown list, select the type of keymap you want to customize. For
an emulation keymap, (selected in 3 above) select the "VT Keymap" for all VT sessions
or ―5250 Keymap‖ for all 5250 sessions, ―3270 Keymap‖ for all 3270 sessions. There
might be some predefined entries, which will appear in the keymap
table for each keymap selection. For details on the keymap table
columns, please refer to the Options section under Configuration.
6. Select the ―New…‖ button. You will be prompted with a New key
dialog. This is identical to the ―Edit‖ key dialog
6.1 Select the key type to be "Virtual Key".
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 112
6.2 From the dropdown list, select the key you want to remap. In our remap example, you
want to remap the F1 key so that when it is pressed a ―W‖ is generated instead. (F1
"W"). Select the key to be "F1".
NOTE: If you do not know the VK of the physical key (or key combination) that you
want to remap, simply tap the ―Trap‖ button. This forces our application to monitor the
VK code of the next key / key combination which you press and display the captured
VK code in the edit box. If a well defined VK code is not recognized, CETerm places
the actual hexadecimal value.
6.3 Check any modifier state key checkboxes. In our custom remap example, none of
these will be checked for the F1 "W" key remapping. The "Ctrl" checkbox will be
checked for the remap Ctrl + 1 "Next live session"
6.4 In the "Action" dropdown, Select the new action that the key is being remapped to. In
our remap example (F1 "W"), this should be a "W"
6.5 Click OK. This remap will be displayed in the table.
6.6 To remap a key to an Escape sequence or text string, select the Action "Text n"
(where n is the number between 1 and 65). This will result in an edit box appearing,
where you can specify the custom text string. Text strings may contain special escape
sequences for VT or sequences of actions:
Text String
Description
\r
Return
\t
Tab
\e
ESC for VT sequences
\x5a
Hexadecimal value
\IDA_action\
Invoke ID action
The \IDA_action\ text is proprietary to Naurtech CETerm. This allows users to invoke
almost any application operation or event programmatically. Please contact us if you
have a specific need and are looking for a particular IDA_action reference
Follow steps 6.1 through 6.5 to remap other keys. To disable a key, you can map it to a
"Null" Action.
7. Click OK. Connect to the host application and invoke the remapped keys to test the remap.
Meta Keys
Meta keys are special keys that set and clear a Meta state. They act much like the state keys
"Shift", "Alt" and "Ctrl" on a regular keyboard. Similar to these normal state keys, Meta keys are
used together with other keys to activate special actions. Meta keys are named with colors.
Typically these can include: Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. For device tailored versions of
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 113
CETerm, whenever possible, Meta key colors are synonymous with physical keys on these
devices.
Meta keys can be assigned to hardware keys in much the same way that other key mapping is
configured in CETerm. After Meta keys are assigned to hardware keys, they can be used
in other key re-mapping assignments. For example, after the Blue Meta key is assigned, you
may create the mapping where Blue + '1' switches to Session 1, etc.
Defining Meta Keys
Meta keys are defined in the Edit Keymap tab of the key remapping. Simply select the "Meta"
keymap. There is one basic restriction for the Meta keymap. There may only be one key for
each Meta state. Typically this means a key for each of Red, Green, and Blue.
When defining (or editing) a Meta key, there are three special attributes:
"!ASC" - This checkbox means "Ignore Alt, Shift and Control". When checked, the Meta
key will be effective regardless of the Alt, Shift, or Control states. Usually this option is
checked to allow the most flexible key combinations.
"Toggle" - This checkbox means to "toggle the state" of a Meta key each time the key is
pressed. Otherwise, the state is set when pressed and cleared when the key is released.
Usually, this option is checked. Some keyboards require the "key up" action of a key
before another key can be pressed. For these keyboards, the "toggle" option *must* be
checked, otherwise no other key can ever "see" the Meta state.
"One-shot" - This checkbox means that the Meta state is reset after the next key is
pressed, whether or not the next key was part of a Meta key translation. If this option is
unchecked, the Meta state remains set until the meta key is pressed again. Usually, this
option is checked.
Using Meta Keys for Remapping
When Meta keys are available for key remapping, you will see corresponding checkboxes on the
―New Key‖ / "Edit Key" dialogs. Meta state flags may also appear in the "Flags" column of the
keymap. The flags meanings are:
V - Virtual Key remap
A - Alt state
C - Ctrl state
S - Shift state
R - Red meta state
G - Green meta state
B - Blue meta state
Y - Yellow meta state
To require a Meta state for a key, simply check the corresponding checkbox.
NOTE: You should define the corresponding Meta key in the Meta keymap before creating
key remap bindings that use the Meta key.

Configurable KeyBar
Most Windows Mobile and Windows CE devices have a limited keypad. They often rely upon the
Soft Input Panel (SIP) to "spell type" data. However, the SIP usage can be cumbersome and it
does not provide any special host keys such as those needed in a terminal emulation program or
special keys to simplify web page navigation in a Browser.
The configurable KeyBar functionality allows users to customize a set of soft keys to invoke any
host specific keys or application operations. Users can select from a set of pre-defined KeyBar
templates. In addition, they can also configure up to six Custom KeyBars of their own. Users can
navigate or ―cycle‖ within a selected subset of KeyBars.
For Windows CE devices, the KeyBar appears next to the application Menu and Toolbar. These
can be dragged and placed in separate rows, if so desired.
For Windows Mobile devices, the KeyBar appears as a toolbar. You can toggle it on or off by
pressing the KeyBar icon next to the application menu. The emulator screen automatically adjusts
to provide the maximum possible screen real estate.
To configure the KeyBar, please refer to the Options section under Configuration. Take some
time to customize the KeyBar and become familiar with its use. It will be time well spent.
When enabled, the KeyBar appears on "top" of either the application menu, application toolbar or
SIP, depending upon their visibility state. Tap the arrow button on either end to cycle backward or
forward through the configured KeyBars.

Create a Custom KeyBar
In the KeyBar Cycle tab, add a Custom Bar to the KeyBar Cycle
In the Custom Bar tab, select the Custom Bar that you want to configure
Select the Key or operation that you want to appear on this custom bar
Tap "Add to Above". The selected key / operation will appear in the list.
Delete unwanted keys by selecting them and tapping ―Delete‖.
You can add up to a total of 9 key buttons on each Custom Bar (Fewer on some devices). The
entry for "Previous KeyBar" cannot be removed and must exist in each KeyBar to allow for
"cycling" between KeyBars. Typically, the last key should be ―Next KeyBar‖ for cycling to the next
KeyBar.
With this version you can also add informational / status buttons for Meta key states, RF and
Battery strength, scanner status etc. These status buttons can be interspersed with normal
Keybar action buttons and are configured the exact same way.
One powerful capability of the KeyBar is the ability to associate keys with the User Text values.
Key entries ―Text 1‖ through ―Text 20‖ are tied to the corresponding twenty entries in the User
Text. Thus if you have a text string configured in the User Text, this string can be submitted to the
host application by tapping on the "Text X" key in a Custom KeyBar. Tapping this key will send
the complete text string to the current cursor location. For VT terminal sessions, escape
sequences can be added to the User Text. This allows users to configure custom escape
sequences as required by their host applications.
Escape sequences can be entered into the User Text in the following format:
\e = Escape
\n = Newline
\r = Enter or Return
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 119
\t = Tab
\xDD = Hexadecimal value
Customize User Text
User Text is any arbitrary text that may be configured so that this does not have to be spell typed
using either the hardware keys or the soft input panel on the device. You can associate the user
text strings with the either software button keys on the Configurable Keybar or hardware keys.
User text strings can be any escaped text string, escape sequence or Naurtech ID action (IDA)
codes. Please refer to the ―User Text‖ section under Options configuration.
Text strings do not have to be created on the device. You can create a simple text file, copy this
file to the device and ―load‖ your text strings from this file. Each text entry should be on a
separate line. An example is shown below.
Text file
The user text entries are automatically assigned a numeric order value. This is for representation
only. This order numbering value is not part of the user text. Once configured the user text entries
are referenced as Text n within CETerm configuration, where n is the assigned order number.
In our example above, text entry Text 4, within CETerm, will be associated with the text string
―Carriage return \r‖
You can also edit the text strings directly on the device.
Any text string
Can include numbers 672 #@
VT Escape seq \e[17~
Carriage return \r
Tab \t
IDA Code \IDA_F3\

Remapping Application keys
Most Windows Mobile devices have hardware application keys (buttons) that may be associated
with installed applications. These keys may be used to launch associated applications. It is
possible to remap these buttons to perform application or emulation actions. This remapping is
valid only while the Naurtech client is running.
Follow these steps to remap your device application keys to host keys or application operation.
1. From the application menu, select [Session][Configure] to open the configuration
dialog.
2. Select the [Options] tab
3. Select [Config Keybars and Keys] button. This will open another tabbed dialog.
4. Select the [App Keys] tab
5. Enable the checkbox "Remap Application Keys". If this check box is not enabled,
device application keys will not be remapped
6. From the "Key" dropdown box, select the device application key that you wish to remap
to an emulation host key or TE client operation
7. From the list box "Select key action below:" select the action association
8. To remap other device application keys, repeat steps 6 and 7.
NOTE: If any of the device application keys is associated with the Windows Mobile "Record"
application, then this association must be changed. Otherwise, the remap configuration for
that key may not work. You can use the "Buttons" applet to change this association.
From the "Start" menu, select "Settings". This will launch the device control panel
Select the [Personal] tab
Run the "Buttons" application
Under the button assignment list box, look for the device application button, which has an
association with "Record". Highlight this button
From the "Button assignment:" dropdown list, select anything but ―Record‖ to change the
device application key association
Now proceed with the application key remapping procedure described above.

This key moves the cursor back to the previous input field. When the cursor is not on an input
field, the cursor moves to the previous input field from the current cursor location. This key is
equivalent to [Shift][Tab].
ENTER
The Enter key submits control to the host application.
NEW LINE
This function moves the cursor to the first input field on the next line.
PA1, PA2, PA3
The PA1 through PA3 keys communicate with the host application. Their use is defined by the
host application.
PF1 - PF24
The Program Function keys PF1 - PF24 communicate with the host application. Their use is
defined by the host application.

Bold blue Indicates 8 bit ASCII mode
HOLD
The Hold key has no current action.
ENTER
The Enter or Return key transmits either a carriage return (CR) character or a carriage return and
line feed (LF) character, depending on the VT configuration.
COMPOSE CHAR
The Compose Character key does not transmit a code. Pressing the Compose character key
starts a compose sequence which is used to generate characters that cannot be typed directly
from the keyboard. Because accented characters are accessible from the SIP, this key is not
implemented.
TAB
The TAB key transmits a tab character .
DELETE
This key transmits a DEL character.
FIND
This key transmits the escape sequence ESC [1 ~ or CSI 1 ~
INSERT HERE
This key transmits the escape sequence ESC [2 ~ or CSI 2 ~

The 5 keys F1-F5 on a VT terminal are local function keys and do not send codes. When a
device has physical keys for F1-F5, we send PF1-PF4 for the corresponding F1-F4 and send a
custom escape sequence for F5, which depends on the device.
Default VT Keys Escape Sequence Table
The following table shows the default association of escape key sequence with action for VT

Creating Context Menus
If configured, you can tap and hold your stylus anywhere within
the terminal display area of your device to invoke a context
menu. This menu can be customized with specific entries.
A special context menu is invoked when the user taps and
holds the stylus in to top left vertical edge of the display screen.
This special context menu is never disabled and is used to get
back into configuration dialogs, if the application is running in
full screen mode.
Configurable KeyBar Custom Keys 6 is associated with the
Context menu. Any actions associated with Custom Keys 6
shows up in the context menu when it is enabled. To enable the
context menu
1. Navigate to [Session] -> [Configure] -> Options
tab -> [Configure KeyBars and Keys] ->
[Custom Bar]
2. Enable the Enable Custom Context Menu checkbox
3. Add the desired key operations which you want to appear in the Context Menu to Custom
KeyBar Custom Keys 6
4. To trigger the Context Menu, tap and hold the stylus anywhere on the terminal display area.
Appearance of a red dotted circle, as shown in the screenshot, indicates that the Context
Menu is being invoked. Hold the stylus until the menu appears.
NOTE: If you have a User Text entry in the context menu, it appears as ―Text x‖ where x is the
user text entry order number. The actual value of the User Text is not shown since this can be
too long to display.

Access Control / Device Lockdown
In certain workflow scenarios, there is a need to prevent users from being able to change the
application configuration. Further there may be a requirement to prevent users from exiting the
application or launching other applications on their Windows CE or Windows Mobile device. The
Access Control features address these needs. Refer to the Options configuration section for
details on configuring these features.
Access control functionality allows for the following:
Administrators can protect access to session configuration settings with a password. This
can be used to prevent users from changing the application configuration
Prevent users from invoking another application. This is done by disabling the Start menu
button.
Prevent users from exiting the application.
Please refer to the Quick reference and configuration sections of this manual for details on
configuring this functionality.
Device Lockdown
You can lock down your device by configuring the following three options. These will prevent the
user from exiting the smart client, launching any other application, or changing the configuration.
Hide the Application Menu, Toolbars and KeyBars
Hide the Start button / Start bar
Disable application exit
Set a configuration access password
1. Navigate to [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Display] -> [Advanced] ->
[Hide/Show]
2. Enable checkboxes Hide Menu Bar, Hide Tool Bar, Hide KeyBar. Hit OK.
3. Navigate to [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Options] -> [Advanced] ->
[Access Control]
4. Check ―Hide Start Bar‖ checkbox
5. Check ―Disable App Exit‖ checkbox
6. Tap the ―Set Password‖ button and enter a configuration access password. Hit OK
7. Tap the ―Exit Now‖ button in the Advanced Options dialog.

8. Launch CETerm. You will be in full screen mode, with no access to any application menu or
Start Bar
NOTE: On Windows CE, ―Hide Start button‖ will disable the Start button but leave the start
bar. Under Windows Mobile, it will remove the button and also remove the ―Smart Minimize‖
(x) button. You can also select ―Hide Start Bar‖, which will remove the whole start navigation
bar.
Full Screen Mode
You can configure our Emulators and Web Browser such that all device and application control
menus are hidden and the whole display area is occupied by the terminal screen. This is the full
screen mode. To set up the full screen mode, you need to do the following:
Hide application menu
Hide application Toolbar and KeyBars
Hide Start bar
To configure full screen mode follow these steps
1. Go to [Session]->[Configure]->[Display]->[Advanced]->[Hide/Show]
2. Enable the checkboxes ―Hide Menu Bar‖, ―Hide KeyBar‖ and ―Hide Toolbar‖.
3. Hit OK
4. Go to [Session]->[Configure]->[Options]->[Advanced]->[Access
Control]
5. Enable the checkbox ―Hide Start Bar‖
6. Hit OK all the way out
Your display area will be completely occupied by the terminal display window.
Accessing configuration from Full Screen mode
When configured in full screen mode, the whole device display area is
occupied by the terminal. The user does not have access to the
Windows CE Start button. The application menu and toolbars are all
hidden.
You can still access configuration dialogs via a special Context Menu. If
you tap and hold the stylus very near the top left vertical edge of the
display screen, you will see a context menu appear. If the Start bar is
visible, then tap and hold on the top left edge just below the Start bar.

International Character Set & Code Pages
In terminal emulation, support for international languages can be provided in two areas. They
include (1) localizing the application and (2) input and display of language specific characters.
Localization means that application dialogs; menus and other widgets are translated into the
specific language. Currently, Naurtech clients are only provided with English menus and dialogs.
However, we provide rich support for the display and processing of host applications in
international languages. Support for international language is provided for both Terminal
Emulation and Web Browser sessions.
For IBM emulations (3270 and 5250), this support is provided via code pages. International
language support for VT emulations is provided through the National Replacement Character set,
MBCS (Multi Byte Character set Encoding), SBCS (Single Byte Character set Encoding) and
UTF-8 encoding
A codepage is a list of selected character codes in a certain order. Codepages are usually
defined to support specific languages or groups of languages, which share common writing
systems. For example, codepage 1253 provides character codes required in the Greek
writing system. The order of the character codes in a codepage provides the appropriate
character code for an application when a user presses a key on the keyboard. When a new
codepage is loaded, different character codes are provided to the application.
Codepages can be changed on-the-fly by the user, without changing the default language system
in use on the device. Language specific fonts are required to be installed on the device, to
correctly display the character glyphs for the codepage language.
Code pages for IBM emulations (3270 & 5250)
In order to display European language character set for IBM (3270 and 5250) emulations, you will
need to install the corresponding language code page. You can download a CAB file associated
with your code page from the support section of our website and install this on your device. The
code page will then appear as a selection in the list under [Session] -> [Configure] ->
[Advanced] -> [IBM Options]. By default, only IBM037 codepage (US English) is enabled.
The following is a list of available code pages. If you have a need for a codepage, which is not
available on this list, please contact us at support@naurtech.com

For VT emulations, you need to install the correct codepage on the device and select this
language option from [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Advanced] -> [VT
Extensions]
Code pages for VT emulations
For VT emulations, we support native Windows CE codepages, which
are already installed on the device.
Asia Pacific language character sets
International character sets for Asian languages such as Chinese
(Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Thai etc. are
supported for VT emulations only. This allows users to view the host
text in the international language character set. This functionality for
VT emulation also supports European language character sets. All
application menus and dialogs still remain in English.
Follow these steps to configure your terminal to be able to display
Asia-Pacific language character set:
1. Go to [Session][Configure][Connection]
2. Make sure that the Host Type selected is VT220
3. Go to [Advanced][VT Extensions] under the Connection configuration
4. Select the encoding mode. This indicates the type of encoding which is sent by the host
for display of the international language character set. For VT emulation, your choices
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 132
can be SBCS (Single Byte Character Set), DBCS (Double Byte Character Set), or UTF-8
encoding. If you are unsure, speak to your VT host application administrator.
5. Depending upon your encoding selection, the ―Code Page‖ combo box will dynamically
populate itself with all code pages available on your device. These code page numbers
are well defined. Code page for the desired language must be pre-installed on the device.
Not all devices contain double-byte code pages. UTF-8 does not require a codepage.
6. Hit OK all the way out and Connect to your host

HTML Browser Sessions
One of the best value propositions for upgrading to Windows CE or Windows Mobile handheld
devices is the multi-application versatility and graphical user interface. The devices provide a
migration path from legacy host applications, using text based terminal emulation to web-based
applications with rich content. Previously the only solution to this mixed use was to run both a
terminal emulation client, and the Pocket IE browser as two separate applications. This scenario
can be a recipe for disaster in a controlled access environment for data collection applications.
With CETerm, you can run browser sessions along-side terminal emulation sessions in any
combination, all as part of the same application. A user can have both terminal emulation and
web applications together within a single application. You get the data collection solution
features, access control, and peripheral support for your web based application. Here are some
of the benefits of the Naurtech Web Browser:
Full Screen readability and Context Menus. You can hide the ―Start‖ bar and application
menu to maximize usage of your screen real estate giving you the full 320 x 240, ¼ VGA
screen for display. ―Tap and hold‖ Context Menus are available for application control
Operating System Lockout. The address and navigation bars are inaccessible within the
HTML browser sessions. The application may be configured to prevent users from exiting the
application, launching any other application, or browsing to unauthorized websites. This locks
down the device completely.
SIP Control. The Soft Input Panel (SIP) popup can be fully controlled.
Tab Key. Within Pocket IE, you are not able to use the Tab key to jump from one input field
to the next. A TAB will not work in a barcode post-amble to jump to the next field after filling
the current field. This results in compromised usability. The Naurtech browser fully supports
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 134
Tab and Back Tab navigation with native HTML text objects. Tabs also work in the barcode
post-ambles.
Device and Peripheral Control. Full control over barcode scanner and other peripherals
(MSR, Smart Card Reader etc.) for browser based applications. Using HTML meta-tags, you
can programmatically invoke any application operation from a web page.
Parse scanner decoded data. Web applications can have the ability to validate, manipulate
and parse the barcode scan data. A single 1D or 2D barcode can automatically be read into
multiple input fields within a web form.
Associate Keypad hardware keys. Touch screen navigation may not be suitable in every
ADC solution. Therefore CETerm provides the ability to associate a menu option, URL, text
string or any application operation to a hardware key
Single Application. You do not need to run two separate applications for legacy TE and web
based applications. Eliminates the need to support two separate applications
Multiple HTML Sessions. You can run multiple simultaneous web applications and quickly
switch between them. With other browsers, you can only have one web application active
Invoke Java Script functions. Using embedded HTML meta-tags, you can invoke java
script functions on the HTML page, based on various triggers such as page load, input
selection, button press etc.
Full support of Symbol and Intermec meta-tags. We fully support Symbol and Intermec
proprietary HTML meta-tags. In addition there are many Naurtech meta-tags that allow for
further device configuration, control and notification.
Please refer to the Connection configuration section for details on how to configure a connection
to a web server.
Please refer to the Web Browser Programming Reference Guide for details on using

Macros
You can use macros to automate navigation across multiple host screens within a session. We
recommend using Macros for automating simple tasks and using Scripting for customizing more
advanced / complex tasks. Macros may only be used with terminal emulation session. To
automate Web Browser sessions, we recommend using scripts.
One simple use of macros is to automate the login sequence to the host application. CETerm
provides a Macro toolbar to control all macro operations. After recording a macro you can play
this recorded macro any number of times.
Because user input and host response is specific to the host application, macros are specific to
the host application in use. In addition, macros are sensitive to the network propagation delay,
which may vary with every connection to the host. Naurtech smart clients use a complex
algorithm to record and playback a macro to account for various network and host application
delays.
Each macro is associated with a specific host session. Only one macro may be recorded for each
session. Re-recording a macro for a session will overwrite the previously recorded macro.
You can invoke the Macro toolbar from the application menu by selecting [Display][Macro].
You may also tap the "Macro " button on the toolbar.
Tip: You may use the Macro hotkey [Ctrl][Shift][S] to invoke this operation
Macro Status: The macro toolbar window title displays the host session association and current
status of the macro. Macro status may be ―Stopped‖, ―Recording‖ or ―Playback‖.
Delay: Due to parameters such as network propagation delays, host application response times
may vary slightly with every host session connection. This slight variation in response times can
contribute to the failure of a macro during playback. The ―Delay‖ attribute is a forced delay
inserted during playback between sending recorded keystrokes and receiving host application
responses. Increase the delay timing when interacting with slower host systems or over a slower
network. The maximum delay that may be entered is 1600 milliseconds (1.6 seconds)

Recording
Prior to recording a macro it is helpful to rehearse the desired actions. To record a macro, follow
these steps.
Configure and connect a terminal session to the host application
Invoke the macro toolbar
Tap the ―Record‖ button to start recording the macro. Focus will shift to the terminal
application. The Macro toolbar title status will change to ―Recording…‖. You can interact
with the host application as you would normally by entering text and host keys and
getting response screens.
During the recording phase, all inputs are saved. Once you are done navigating the host
screens, you can stop recording by tapping the ―Stop‖ button
The macro is automatically saved for the current active session. No explicit save is
required.
Playback
You must successfully record a macro prior to playing it back. Macro playback must be invoked at
the exact same point, within the host application, at which the recording started. Attempting a
macro playback at any other point will most likely fail except for trivial text entry. To playback a
macro, follow these steps.
Connect to the host application on the session for which the macro was recorded.
Navigate to the starting point within the host application at which the macro was
recorded. This may be the opening screen if the macro is used to auto-login.
Invoke the macro toolbar
Tap the ―Playback‖ button to start playing the macro. Focus will shift to the terminal
application. The Macro toolbar title status will change to ―Playback…‖. The macro toolbar
will hide. You will see the cursor relocate and keystrokes automatically being typed. The
host application will respond. The macro playback engine will appropriately wait until all
host response is received and then type subsequent recorded keystrokes to navigate
across additional host screens.
It is recommended that you review your recorded macro to ensure that it successfully
runs to completion.
WARNING: Playback of macros is sensitive to the host screen and associated
keystrokes. Do not press any extraneous keys or the macro playback might fail. Macro
playback should be started at the point where recording started.
By default the Macro toolbar will not be visible when you are playing a macro. If you want the
macro toolbar to be visible when the macro is playing, please check the ―Show Macro on Play‖
checkbox under [Session][Configure][Display][Advanced][Hide/Show].
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 137
Automatic login
You can automate the login process to a host application for a given session. To do so,
configure the host terminal session.
Starting at the first screen, record a macro for logging into the host application
and navigating to the desired host application screen.
Logout and playback the macro manually, using the macro toolbar, to ensure it
works properly.
Once satisfied, check the ―Macro on Connect‖ option. You can do this from the
‖Advanced‖ dialog of the ―Connection‖ tab from the [Session][Configure]
dialog.
Creating a Mini-Macro
Within the Naurtech smart clients, most application operations have an associated ID Action (or
IDA) code defined. These IDA codes can be chained to create a sequence of events, which is
called a mini macro. This sequence of events can be remapped to any key.
You can use the User Text configuration to define a sequence of IDA operations which will get
executed is serial order. This is a mini-macro. To create your mini macro:
1. Navigate to [Session]->[Configure]->[Options]->[Config KeyBars and
Keys]->[User Text]
2. Enter your IDA sequences for Text n entries, where n is an index number between 1
and 64. The syntax is demonstrated via examples below.
3. Now you can remap Text n to any application, hardware or KeyBar key. Note that there
are KeyBar buttons only for Text 1 through 20
Text 1 = \IDA_SESSION_S1\\IDA_SLEEP_5000\\IDA_SESSION_CONNECT\
In the example above, Text 1 will trigger the following operations in order:
It will switch to session S1
Wait for 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds)
Attempt to connect to the configured host on this session
Text 2 = \IDA_SESSION_DISCON_ALL\\IDA_PROGRAM_EXIT\
In the example above, Text 2 will trigger the following operations in order:

Printing
All Naurtech Emulators and Web Browser support printing to a printer connected via a serial port,
infrared (IrDA), Bluetooth, or over a WiFi (802.11x) network
VT printing
VT terminal emulation in CETerm and CEVT220 support all VT printing commands. You can
invoke VT pass-through printing to any configured printer.
For serial attached printers, make sure that your printer is attached to the serial port via a serial
cable and the serial port configuration is correct. Please refer to your printer manuals for serial
port configurations required by your printer.
For IrDA printing, make sure that there is a clear path between the IrDA port on the handheld and
the IrDA port on the printer.
For Bluetooth printer device, you must have a terminal that is Bluetooth enabled. Some of our
smart clients support automatic device discovery, you will be prompted with a list of ―discovered‖
Bluetooth devices within range to which a print job may be redirected..
For network printing, make sure you have the correct printer queue or IP address defined for your
printer configuration.
To print, issue print commands from the host application.
Legacy Extended commands
Legacy Extended Commands, such as those from Intermec are special commands implemented
by the host application to control and interact with peripherals attached to the handheld device.
Such commands are used to ―extend‖ the connection protocol and send as part of the protocol
data stream. These are generally used to transmit and receive data on the serial (RS-232) port of
the device. Refer to reference documents from Intermec for details on their command set.
Extended commands can be used under 3270, 5250, and VT emulations. They can be used to
print receipts or read from an attached scale or magnetic stripe reader.
Printing to a Network / 802.11x WiFi printer
You can either use the network printer queue or directly print to an IP printer over 802.11x.
All Network printer configuration is set from:
[Session]->[Configure]->[Printer]->Network (WLAN)
To print to a Windows print queue follow the syntax:
\\MyNetworkPrintQueueName\MyPrinter
Prior to printing, you may be prompted to provide a username and password.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 140
To directly route data to an IP port use the syntax:
IPAddress:port
For example if the printer IP address is 192.168.1.10 and is listening on port 2345, then you can:
1. Select "Network (WLAN)" printer connection option under [Session]->[Configure]-
>[Printer].
2. Set the Print Queue value to be 192.168.1.10:2345
3. If you have DNS enabled, you may also use a hostname instead of the IP address
Hotspots
A Hotspot is an area on the terminal screen where a user can tap with a stylus to execute a
function. This allows a user to interact with a host application without using physical keys or the
KeyBar. A simple example might be the use of PF Keys. An operation associated with a PF key
might be displayed on the terminal as "PF1 = Help". All Naurtech emulators automatically detect
this as a Hotspot and will send a PF1 key to the host when you tap on the PF1 text on the
terminal display. To invoke a hotspot, tap anywhere on the text of that hotspot. Hotspots are not
user configurable.
All predefined Hotspots are static, meaning that the underlying text to be recognized cannot be
changed to customize for your application. To implement dynamic Hotspots, so that you can
customize the terminal text which will be recognized and also control the action which
corresponds to such a Hotspot, use Scripting. Please refer to the CETerm Scripting Guide for
details.
Hotspots are supported for 3270, 5250 and VT emulations. The emulations share some forms of
Hotspots, such as function keys and menus, but others depend on the type of emulation.
The following table lists some text strings that are recognized as Hotspots
Hotspot String
Sends
PFx=
Function key x. where x is between 1..9
PFxx=
Function key x. where x is between 10..24
xx.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 141
NOTE: Prior to using a ―menu choice‖ HotSpot, the cursor must be in the input field where the
menu choice is submitted. (Applies to IBM emulation only.)
TIP: HotSpots are sensitive to the stylus calibration on the device. To get accurate HotSpot
taps, make sure your stylus is correctly calibrated.
Screen Panning
Several host applications have been designed for the desktop screen form factor. These
applications typically have 24 rows x 80 columns. When viewing these applications from a
handheld device, only a portion of the host screen is visible because of the smaller display of the
handheld device. Horizontal and vertical scroll bars are typically used to set the viewport location.
As an alternative to scroll bars, the screen can be positioned by ―dragging‖ the stylus.
Imagine the host application screen as a large sheet under the display on the handheld device.
Screen Panning allows users to "tap, hold and drag" this sheet in any direction to move hidden
areas of the host display into view on the handheld device without the use of scroll bars.
Follow these steps to use panning:
Connect to a host application using the Naurtech emulator
With the stylus, "tap and hold" anywhere on the terminal screen. Be careful not to tap on
a HotSpot, if you do not also want a HotSpot action
Drag the stylus, without lifting, to drag hidden areas of the screen into view
You can independently enable horizontal panning, vertical panning or both. This configuration is
available under [Display]->[Advanced]->[Touch features]
Application screen area
Current view area

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 142
You can also dynamically reformat an application designed for a larger screen so that only
specific fields from the larger screen are ―scraped‖ and displayed in a new screen. This is done
by implementing a screen reformat script which is customized for your host application. Please
contact us at support@naurtech.com for a detailed discussion.
SmartPads
SmartPads are only applicable to Terminal Emulation sessions.
Depending upon the terminal emulation type, certain keys may be required to navigate within the
host application. The SmartPad is a soft keypad that provides access to all emulation specific
keys. You can invoke the SmartPad only if the session is connected. The correct SmartPad
appears for the emulation type of the current active session.
You can invoke the SmartPad from the application menu by selecting [Display][SmartPad].
You may also tap the "SmartPad " button on the toolbar.
Tip: You may use the SmartPad hotkey [Ctrl][Shift][P] to invoke this operation
The SmartPad provides a quick and convenient access to all host keys when needed. SmartPads
are not configurable dynamically. SmartPads for 3270, 5250 and VT host emulations are shown
below.
NOTE: We recommend using the Configurable KeyBar with Custom bars to access frequently
needed keys and conserve display space. The SmartPad functionality is provided for backward
compatibity and will be phased out in later versions.

Text Input Tool
For Windows CE devices without a keyboard, data entry is usually performed using a stylus with
the integrated soft keypad. This requires the user to spell-type text strings. This is a slow and
tedious process. The Text Input Tool addresses this issue by sending complete text strings to the
display window at the current cursor location. A user can record a set of often used text strings in
the input tool.
You can invoke the Text Input Tool from the application menu by selecting [Display][Input
Tool]. You may also tap the "Input Tool" button on the toolbar. On Pocket PC devices, the
Text Input Tool may be made visible or hidden by alternatively selecting the toolbar button or
hotkey.
Tip: You can also invoke the Text Input tool by using the hotkey [Ctrl][Shift][I].
You can build your recorded list of text strings by pasting text from the clipboard (For example
[Edit][Copy] in pocket word) directly into the Text Input Tool edit box. You can also directly type a
text string into the edit box using the system soft keypad. Lastly, you can initialize this list from an
ASCII text file.
Paste: Tapping the Paste button will copy any text from the clipboard into the edit box.
Add: Tapping the Add button adds any text in the edit box to the list. Blank strings are
not added.
Del: Tapping the Del button deletes the currently selected text string from the list.
Clear: Tapping the Clear button clears the edit box.
File: Tapping the File button opens a dialog to select a text file that will be read to
initialize the list. Each text string to be added to the list must be on a separate line
delimited by a CRLF. The following file shows a sample input text file
78438-8889-9494
Any text string here
Username
We recommend that you create a file for initializing the list on your desktop PC and then
copy it to the device.
Send: The Send button sends the text in the edit box to the current cursor location on the
terminal display.
NAURTECH EMULATORS & WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE
CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 144
Enter: Is equivalent to the Enter key.
Tab: Is equivalent to the Tab key.
BTab: Is equivalent to the ―back tab‖ or [Shift][Tab] action.
Esc: Is equivalent to the ESC key.
Each entry in the list is preceded by an index value in the form ―1. ― (Not shown in the image
above.) This index, including the first space after the period, is stripped before sending. You can
edit an existing list entry by selecting it, making your changes, then pressing Add. It will replace
the existing entry contents with the new value. If there is no leading index value, for example on
a new entry, then Add will append a new list entry.
To create an entry, which begins with text similar to an index, first create a dummy entry, then
edit it to include your desired text. For example, to create an entry with the contents ―1. My text‖,
first enter the text ―new‖ and press Add. Assume that this becomes the third entry. Select the
entry from the list and change ―3. new‖ to ―3. 1. My text‖, then press Add again.
The index values are used to identify the text sent with the ―Input n‖ keys on the KeyBar. Be
careful when deleting entries. Doing so may change the text sent via an Input key. A better
choice is to use the User Text feature.
Special characters can also be entered in the text. This can be especially useful under VT
emulation when custom escape sequences are required. The following special characters are
available:
Operator
Meaning
\e
ESC character/action
\n
Newline character/action
\r
Enter character/action
\t
TAB character/action
\xDD
Hexadecimal value of byte
NOTE: The Input Tool functionality is similar to that provided by User Text. It is recommended
that you use the User Text rather than the Input Tool

Command line options
All Naurtech Emulator and Web Browser products support a command line switch to invoke one
or a sequence of IDA commands. The specific IDA commands can be used to invoke a desired
action as the application launches. It may even be used to run a script which can be implemented
to customize a desired behavior. Please refer to the list of IDA commands in the Appendix. Here
are some examples:
The following command line example will start CETerm, switch to Session 1 and connect the
session. If CETerm is already running, this will switch it to Session 1 and connect the session if it
is not already connected.
CETerm.exe IDA_SESSION_S1 IDA_SESSION_CONNECT
To switch a running CETerm to Session 2, otherwise do nothing, use the command line syntax:
CETerm.exe IDA_SESSION_S2 IDA_NONE
IDA_NONE is a special code to prevent CETerm from starting if it is not already running. This is
useful when you want an external tool to activate a CETerm action but don't want to start CETerm
if not already running.
NOTE: The older command line option –Sx to launch CETerm with a specific session to be
active should no longer be used. Although it is still supported, its usage is not recommended.
To run a script loaded in script slot 1, use the command line syntax:
CETerm.exe IDA_SCRIPT_1
