Introduction

Naurtech Terminal Emulation (TE) and Data Collection Web Browser allows users to connect to

applications running on IBM3270, AS/400, VT, or HTML servers from ANY Windows CE or

Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) handheld device over ANY wired or wireless TCP/IP data network.

You can use our clients 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.

Device tailored versions of each product are available for specific terminal models from every

major hardware device manufacturer. These versions integrate with the peripherals available on

each device, such as barcode scanner, imager scanner, RFID reader, magnetic stripe reader and

Bluetooth printers.

This manual applies to the following Naurtech smart clients. CETerm is the all inclusive product

which offers three terminal emulations and an integrated Data Collection Web Browser. Single

emulation products also include the Data Collection Web Browser.

NOTE: Separate documentation is provided for web browser extensions, HTML meta-tags,

and ActiveX controls in the Web Browser Programming Guide. Please refer to that

documentation for building web-based applications, which will be used with our smart clients.

NOTE: Separate documentation is also provided for the Workflow Automation Engine, which

provides a fully scriptable platform to automate application interaction, device and peripheral

control and data collection workflow. Please refer to the Naurtech CETerm Scripting Guide for

details.

WHAT’S NEW IS VERSION 5.1

We have been listening to our customers and partners in developing new functionality within our

products. In addition to all maintenance service patches, the following new capabilities have also

been added to version 5.1.

• Support for new Windows CE 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 OS. Most device

manufacturers are migrating their terminals to the latest Windows CE 5.0 and Windows

Mobile 5.0 operating system versions from Microsoft. Versions 5.1 of our Smart Clients fully

support these new OS platforms and are device tailored for various terminals.

• New “device tailored” versions. We have been working closely with every major hardware

device manufacturer to provide “device tailored” versions of our Smart clients for their latest

terminals. Version 5.1 will support several new terminals. These are listed in the “Supported

Device Tailored Versions” section.

• Continued Enhancements to Data Collection Web Browser. We believe that web based

applications will continue to play a key role in handheld data collection solutions. As such, we

have added even more capability to our integrated Data Collection Web Browser, to leverage

new support available from the Operating System. We have added new events and

extensions to our browser, including tighter control with RFID reader and Barcode scanner

peripherals. The Web Browser also supports a full CETerm JavaScript engine to extend the

behavior of our Smart Clients for customization and automation of your data collection

solution workflows.

• Scripting Workflow Automation Engine. This is one of the key features of version 5.1

product release. It introduces a full JavaScript environment running inside our Smart Clients,

which is separate from the Browser JavaScript engine. It allows the ability to write scripts to

customize and automate both terminal emulation and web browser applications using

JavaScript scripts. The CETerm JavaScript engine (Workflow Automation Engine) provides

capability to examine and control the OS, device and its peripherals (barcode scanner, RFID

reader, printer) through terminal emulation and browser sessions. This makes our Smart

Clients a robust platform to build any customized data collection application.

• RFID Read / Write control. Unlike barcode scanner data, which is scanned and decoded a

single entity at a time, RFID data can be read from multiple entities with a single read.

Further, this data may require being parsed, validated, sequenced, filtered, computed or

possibly reformatted prior to submitting it via a terminal emulation or web browser session to

the backend host application. Tight integration of our Smart Clients 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 eliminates the need to make any

changes to the backend legacy host application for RFID enabled solutions. The Scripting

Workflow Automation Engine provides association with barcode scanner and RFID data read

events to build device local intelligence in your data collection solutions.

• Network Awareness Features. This is set of capabilities, first introduced in version 5.0,

added throughout the product to keep our Smart Clients aware of the network connection /

disconnection states, RF signal strength and host / server availability. Version 5.1 builds on

these “Net Awareness” capabilities to allow users to better manage their operational

workflows during network connectivity exceptions such as roaming out of RF range or loss of

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 9

network connectivity to host / web server. We plan to add even more Network Awareness

capabilities in subsequent releases, so end customers may benefit from productivity gains of

seamless roaming and “casually connected” workflow operations.

• Indicators (RF & Battery Strength…). Version 5.1 adds more visual indicators to provide

real-time “state” of some device / session specifics such as RF signal, battery strength,

keyboard mode or web browser page loading status. You can display, position and control

these indicators for your terminal emulation and web browser sessions. Depending upon the

Indicator, alerts can be set for notification, in cases the strength falls below a certain

threshold. All indicators can be fully controlled using Scripts.

• Other Enhancements. There are many additional enhancements and optimizations specific

to supporting legacy applications, scanner performance for etc, including support with device

tailored versions of our products for several new terminals. Please refer to the device specific

notes for details.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS

Multiple host sessions

Supports up to four simultaneous pre-defined host sessions.

Interactive, per-session configuration settings are maintained.

HTML Web Browser sessions.

Hotkeys and menu context are available to jump between these

sessions.

• Simultaneously connect to

different hosts

• Multiple Web Browser sessions

• Maintain independent session

contexts

• Easily switch between sessions

Data Collection Web Browser

Many customers view Pocket PC / Windows CE devices as multi-

purpose handheld devices, from 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.

• Web based applications

• Multi-purpose device

applications

• Migration path from green

screen to newer web based

applications

Scripting Workflow Automation Engine

The CETerm JavaScript engine provides a full JavaScript

environment, 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 your business

process workflow.

• A rich, scriptable platform to

customize and automate

business process

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)

• Remap any hardware key to any

application operation

• Works for both TE and Browser

sessions

• Minimize user re-training

Full Screen Mode

You can now 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.

• Additional rows for display area

• Minimize production downtime

by preventing users from

changing device configuration

and application settings.

Device Lockdown / Access Control

Device Lockdown allows administrators to prevent users from

exiting our Smart Client. 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.

• Provides administrators the

ability to lock down the device

so users cannot navigate away

from core business processes

• Minimizes support costs

• Simplifies business application

workflow

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.

• Visual Indicators are available in

full screen locked down

configuration. This allows more

screen real estate for the host

application display area.

• Alert notifications if Indicator

strength falls below a configured

threshold

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.

• International customers

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 11

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.

• Asia Pacific language support

• UTF-8 encoding support for VT

emulations

Network Aware Features

Users can now 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. Additional capabilities include

notifying the user to return to coverage area if network connectivity

is lost while roaming out of coverage.

For browser sessions, which are stateless and do not require

continuous connectivity, users can also check network availability

before every data send operation.

• Minimizes user interaction

during connection / re-

connection attempts

• Maximizes user productivity

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.

• Can make any host key or

application operation available

from a KeyBar soft button

• Customize KeyBar buttons to

associated with proprietary VT

escape sequences

Meta keys

Meta keys are special keys that 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.

• More key remapping options on

devices with limited keys

• Allows configuration of less key

presses to achieve an action

Auto-start Sessions

Users may launch multiple host sessions when our Smart Client is

started. This can simply be enabled via session specific checkbox

configuration.

• Eliminates intermediate manual

step

• Minimizes retraining. Gives user

direct access to familiar host

application screen

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 12

Automatic login

Pre-recorded macros can be configured to launch automatically

when a session is started and log into the host system. Users can

configure their devices to go from "cold boot" to a host application

screen without a single stylus tap.

• Automates manual steps to

enhance device usability

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. All our Smart

Clients support HotSpots for 3270, 5250 and VT host sessions.

• Leverages the "touch screen"

interface of Windows CE to

allow enhanced usability

• Minimizes need for host specific

keys

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.

• Automatic scrolling to current

cursor location enhances user

productivity and usability

• Lock row / column position of

display; backward compatibility

with pre-existing applications

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”.

• Seamless migration from legacy

DOS / proprietary terminals to

Windows CE / Pocket PC

terminals

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.

• Faster alternative to scrolling

• Easier “Touch screen” usability

Configurable fonts

All our Smart Clients allow users to 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.

• Enhanced readability on both

color and monochrome display

screens

• Single tap font size change

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 13

Macro Record and Playback

All our Smart Clients have capability to record input keystrokes for a

connected host session and subsequently play the recorded

macros for easy, automated navigation through multiple host

screens. A single macro may be recorded and associated with a

host session. This macro may also be auto-launched upon a

session connection to get "auto-logon" capability.

• Automates login steps to host

application

• Automate host application

navigation

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.

• Access emulation specific host

keys

Color Schemes

Support for color displays. A color scheme is a collection of colors

mapped to a set of terminal 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.

• Enhanced readability in varied

lighting conditions

Cold boot persistence

Windows CE devices are diskless devices, which lose all installed

applications and their configuration settings if the device cold boots

or completely looses battery charge. All our Smart Clients can be

setup, to self install and restore all device and application

configuration settings. Such setup varies by manufacturer and

terminal.

With the new Workflow Automation Engine, cold boot persistence

scripts can be written specific for each terminal to reduce this setup

into a single key press.

• Minimizes support costs and

production down time

Host Session password

Any host session may be password protected with the user being

prompted for a password when connecting that session.

• Secure host session connection

Device / LU Name support

For IBM emulations (3270 and 5250), logical unit device name

resource configuration is supported. This is used during connection

negotiations.

• Allows to better management

and administration of SNA host

resources

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 14

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.

• Easy demonstrations without

need for live host connection

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.

• Optimizes usability and user

productivity

• User configurable strings allow

for individual customization

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.

• Supports international

character sets for VT host

sessions

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.

• Optimized network bandwidth

usage for VT emulation sessions

VT Answerback String

This is a configurable text string that certain host applications

require to identify the terminal.

• Legacy application compatibility

Hot Keys

Predefined hot keys are available to interact with and invoke

emulator operations.

• User productivity

Automated Licensing

Simplifies the software registration process by querying a

configurable Web server for an XML based registration file.

• Easier deployment as individual

devices do not have to be

registered manually

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 the Naurtech smart client: CETerm, CE3270, CE5250 or CEVT220 on to the device.

Follow instruction is 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 smart client 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 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

Quick “How To” Tips

Automatically submit a barcode (Postamble ENTER)

All device tailored versions of Naurtech smart clients 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 “Font Up” or “Font Down” from the [Display] 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

Automatic login capability is provided via Macros. Record a macro with all the steps to login to

your host. You can then configure the macro script 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

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).

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.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 22

Configure Full Screen mode

You can configure the application such that the display area occupies the complete display

screen on the device. The “Start” bar, Application menu, toolbar and any KeyBars can 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.

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.

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.

Evaluation Mode

You can download fully featured evaluation versions of our smart clients 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.

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.

CONNECTION

The diagram below shows the hierarchy of configuration attributes for the Connection

configuration attributes. Each title represents a configuration dialog tab.

Before you make a connection to your host or web server application, at a minimum, you must

know the host name, IP address or URL and the port number of the host system to configure your

host session.

• From the application menu, Select [Session][Configure] or tap the "Configure"

button on the toolbar.

• A "Configure" dialog box will come up.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 32

This following dialogs show the Connection tab of the host session configuration dialog.

Windows Mobile Windows CE

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), certain emulation types may not be selectable.

HTML host session types are available with all products. Other connection options may

change 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. 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. This setting does not apply to HTML sessions.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 33

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 HTML sessions.

Advanced

This button opens an advanced connection configuration dialogs.

General

This tab maintains all general configuration attributes relating to automatic connection

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 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,

this setting ensures presence of a network signal when the device is resuming

itself from a “Suspend” state. 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: For version 5.1, this setting in only applicable to

HTML browser sessions. It does not effect 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.

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 is the time, in seconds, which the Naurtech smart client will

wait during startup. This setting is useful when the client automatically starts

during a device cold boot and connects to your host application. The “Initial

Sleep” allows the underlying wireless network to initialize prior to the Naurtech

smart client attempting to establish a connection. The default value is 0, which

means no delay.

NOTE: You will not need to use this setting if you enable the “Check

Network on Connect” setting.

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 a 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.

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

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 36

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 this 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 are, if you always navigate to the error page:

- 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.

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.

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.

3270 EAB: This is an optional 3270 terminal emulation parameter. If checked,

this will allocate an Enhanced Attribute Buffer. EAB support allows for advanced

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.

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.

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 TE applications 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.

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.

Font

This tab holds advanced font settings for enhanced readability and international language

character glyphs.

Windows Mobile Windows CE

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.

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.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 52

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.

Touch

This tab provides attributes to control touch screen interactions.

Windows Mobile Windows CE

Enable Touch Features: This is a global setting for all touch features. When

checked, touch screen features are enabled, but must also be individually

enabled. 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 TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 62

NOTE: A Hotspot is a field 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 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.

Configure KeyBars and Keys

The “Config KeyBars and Keys…” button is used to configure custom KeyBars, associate

device application keys with operations, remap device hardware keys and

Keybar Cycle

A KeyBar configuration consists of both the KeyBar Cycle and any Custom or template

KeyBars. A KeyBar is a set of 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.

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 Keybar 6 will appear on this

context menu.

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 value. 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 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

App Keys

Windows Mobile devices have hardware buttons that

launch specific applications. These “Application Keys” are

configured via a “Buttons” 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 typically 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.

Select Keymap

Most hardware keys can be remapped to perform any action such as simulating a

function key, entering a string of text or 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.

Windows Mobile Windows CE

Select Keymap Type: Selects a custom keymap that will apply to connected

host sessions. Available choices are:

Session: The custom key remapping is associated with this host session

only (say S1). The key remap bindings will not be available in another

session (say S2 or S3 etc).

Device specific key

remap setting

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 66

Emulation: The custom key remapping is associated with a particular

type of emulation such as 3270, 5250, VT or HTML. This keymap can be

shared with other host sessions running the same host type emulation.

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: When checked, the

Common keymap will be added to the session or

emulation keymap. You can configure the Common

keymap binding separately.

Device Specific Key remap configurations:

Certain devices, like the HHP 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.

ASCII: When creating new keys, always use the "Virtual Key" (VK) mode unless

the VK code cannot be determined. This usually only happens 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.

Virtual Key: Map the specified Virtual Key. Select the virtual key from the

dropdown list or enter a hexadecimal value in the form "0x5a".

Alt: If checked, "Alt" must be pressed with the key.

Shift: If checked, "Shift" must be pressed with the key.

Ctrl: If checked, "Ctrl" must be pressed with the key.

!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.

Configure Scripting

The “Configure Scripting…” button is used to create, import, edit, test and associate

scripts. Our Scripting capability provides a platform to automate workflows with powerful

JavaScript scripting and Workflow automation objects. It provides a "solutions platform"

to build and customize business workflows.

Scripts can be launched by button or key presses, or triggered by events such as new

host data or 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.

Configuration and Programming for Scripting is covered in detail in the Naurtech

CETerm Scripting Guide, which is available from our website.

Redundancy: This configuration describes the redundancy or linear security level used

during decoding. Default is "Short Twice".

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.

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 scanner, Naurtech smart clients support between ten and twenty

two 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

Windows Mobile Windows CE

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 associated with

each symbology 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

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 74

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 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

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 75

“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 all our TE clients contain a powerful feature to select the desired

data fields from the Magnetic Card Reader and to present the data to the host. Support for MSR

is configurable only for certain device tailored versions, which have an integrated MSR. Devices

include Fujitsu iPad, Intermec 782 workpad

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.

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})"

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 76

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.

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

\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.

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 server can be queried to provide a license key. CETerm

will only query the license server if the device is currently un-licensed and if a license server URL

has been specified in the CETerm configuration.

The license server 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 server 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 specifies a static XML page, which 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'?>

<! Licenses for Symbol 9000 terminals -->

<user>End User Company</user>

</license>

<user> End User Company </user>

</license>

<! Licenses for Intermec CV60 terminals -->

<user> End User Company </user>

<key>9C5D0D771BA849386D33A989AFECECDB</key>

</license>

<! Licenses HHP 9500 terminals -->

<user> End User Company </user>

</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,

must match the Naurtech product in use. The license server URL may reference a file 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

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 79

Some common error codes:

0x80070490 - License not found in XML document, check your XML.

0x800c0006 - XML document not found, check your URL and server.

0x80040154 - XML or SAX Parser not found on device. Unsupported

or missing Microsoft components.

0x80004005 - General failure, cause unknown.

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

above. 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.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]

[Software]

[Naurtech]

[CETerm]

ConfigServerURL = SZ:http://192.168.1.101/license.xml

NOTE>> Please note the product name “CETerm” in the registry key above will change to

respective product names for CE3270, CE5250 and CEVT220.

Session Interaction

All Naurtech smart clients allow up to four simultaneous host terminal sessions. Any or all of

these sessions may be 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

You can navigate between multiple 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.

• 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.

Up to four simultaneous host sessions

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.

• 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 Naurtech clients 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

• 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]

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 82

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. This

can be done using command line options or via an 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 the Naurtech smart clients are 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. In such cases, the connection

attempt to the host or web server will fail.

The best workaround is to enable the setting [Session][Configure][Advanced] [Check

Network on connect]. This will cause our application to detect network availability prior to

attempting a host connection.

As an alternative, you can also to introduce a delay during the startup process. This is the older

approach to resolving the issue. 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.

• 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.

USE BARCODES TO INVOKE OPERATIONS OR KEYSTROKES

Within all Naurtech smart clients applications, 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 Naurtech clients.

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

Action Barcode Content Extended Code 39 barcode

F2 *\IDA_PF2\* *\IDA_PF2\*

Tab *\IDA_TAB\* *\IDA_TAB\*

Session Connect *\IDA_SESSION_CONNECT\* *\IDA_SESSION_CONNECT\*

Field Exit *\IDA_FIELD_EXIT\* *\IDA_FIELD_EXIT\*

Please contact technical support for more information on available ID action (IDA) codes.

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.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 84

You can also include the RF and Battery strength Indicators on the Configurable Keybar so these

appear as status buttons.

DISPLAY DEVICE PARAMETERS (SERIAL #, MAC ADDRESS, BATTERY…)

You can remap a hardware key to display device specific information such as serial number,

MAC address, IP address and Battery level. This is done via popup messages. The steps for this

configuration are equivalent to key remapping. The only difference is in the selection of the

“Action”.

1. Navigate to [Session] -> [Configure] -> options

tab -> Config Keybar and keys -> Edit Keymap

tab

2. Select the Common Keymap from the Keymap dropdown list

3. Hit New to add a new key remapping

4. Select the key in the Virtual Key dropdown that you would

like to associate with the device setting.

5. In the Action list box, select device setting for which you want

to associate a popup message. The following table show the

NOTE: The device specific information, which may be queried, is dependent upon the device. All

information may not be available on all devices

PLAY A DIFFERENT AUDIO TONE / SOUND ON MY DEVICE

Audio tones can be played using the built in Extended command support within all Naurtech TE

clients. 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 smart clients 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

All Naurtech smart client applications can be configured to map any physical keyboard key on the

device to any host action, application operation, macro or Script.

For key remappings users can directly configure the keys 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 the manual for details on creating customized key

remappings.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 87

NOTE: External key remappings, involving a DLL file that may be built by Naurtech and placed

on the device by the user is no longer supported. This is the old way of configuring key

remapping. All custom key remapping DLLs (KMAPCET.DLL) from prior versions, if present,

are supported.

The external mapping has been preserved for backward compatibility, but all new key

mappings should be done using the internal remapping features. Naurtech no longer provides

external remapping DLLs.

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.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 88

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".

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 t "W"). Select the key

to be "F1"

6.3 Check any modifier state key checkboxes. In our custom

remap example, none of these will be checked for the F1 t"W"

key remapping. The "Ctrl" checkbox will be checked for the remap Ctrl + 1 t "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 t "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

CETerm, whenever possible, Meta key colors are synonymous with physical keys on these

devices.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 89

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 is cumbersome and it does

not provide any special host keys such as those needed in a terminal emulation program.

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 it’s 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

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 95

\r = Enter or Return

\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.

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 the Windows CE 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 password protect access to session configuration settings. This

prevents 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 Start button / Start bar

•

••

•

Disable application exit

•

••

•

Set a configuration access password

1. Navigate to [Session] -> [Configure] -> [Options] -> [Advanced] ->

[Access Control]

2. Check “Hide Start Bar” checkbox

3. Check “Disable App Exit” checkbox

4. Tap the “Set Password” button and enter a configuration access password. Hit OK

5. Tap the “Exit Now” button in the Advanced Options dialog.

6. 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.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 105

Full Screen Mode

You can configure the Naurtech smart client 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 dialogs 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 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. Your

choices will be “Connect”, “Configure” and “Program Exit”.

Choosing Configure will bring up the configuration dialog. If you have a

configuration password, you will be required to enter this, prior to

gaining access to the configuration dialogs.

The screenshot on the right shows the top left area, which will invoke the special context menu.

This is circled in red.

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.

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

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

3. 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 TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 108

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.

4. 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

5. 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.

Using the integrated Data Collection Web Browser, you can run browser sessions along side

terminal emulation sessions in any combination. Now a user can have both terminal emulation

and web applications together within a single application. You get the application features,

access control, and peripheral support of Naurtech emulators for your web based application.

Here are some of the benefits of the Naurtech integrated browser:

Windows Mobile Windows CE

• 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 TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 110

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.

NOTE: This section provides just an introduction to this powerful new capability within our

smart clients. Separate documentation for the Web browser sessions, including HTML

samples, is available on our website (www.naurtech.com)

Macros

You can use macros to automate navigation across multiple host screens within a session. One

simple use of macros is to automate the login sequence to the host application. Naurtech smart

clients provide 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.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 112

• 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 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].

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:

•

••

•

Disconnect all connected host sessions

•

••

•

Exit CETerm application

You can join several IDA actions to create an elaborate macro to automate application navigation

steps. Please contact us at support@naurtech.com for more information on IDA codes to create

mini macros.

Printing

All Naurtech smart clients 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.

INTERMEC EXTENDED COMMANDS

Intermec Extended Commands are special commands implemented by the host application to

control and interact with peripherals attached to the handheld device. 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

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 115

Prior to printing, you may be prompted to provide a username and password.

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

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 116

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.

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. Menu option xx. where xx is any one or two digit number

Fxx= Function key x. where x is between 1..24

<Fxx>= Function key x. where x is between 1..24

Enter Sends Enter key

"X. Menu choice" Selects menu choice X

Double Tap Sends Enter key

+ Roll Up key (5250 only)

- Roll Down Key (5250 only)

More Roll Down AID (5250 only)

Bottom Roll Down AID (5250 only)

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.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 117

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]

SmartPads

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.

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 119

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.

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 120

Send: The Send button sends the text in the edit box to the current cursor location on the

terminal display.

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 smart clients support command line switches to launch host sessions. You can

launch multiple configured sessions or one session via the following command line switch:

-Sx

where x is 1, 2, 3 or 4 to indicate one of the predefined session configurations S1, S2, S3

or S4 respectively. You can specify multiple predefined sessions on the same command

line to directly connect to more than one session. For example (-S1 -S4) to connect to the

1st and 4th predefined session.

Tip: It is more convenient to use the “Auto Connect” option in the Advanced Connection dialog

rather than to use the -Sx switch.

Online Help

All Naurtech smart clients have online help available on the device.

This is provided through the Online Help feature of the Windows CE

operating system.

You can access online help from the application menu by selecting

[File][Help]. Alternatively, you can invoke the device help from

[Start][Help] and then select "Naurtech CETerm"

You can navigate within the Online help via the Pocket Browser.

Deployment: Cold Boot Setup

Since most handheld devices are diskless systems, during a cold boot, the handheld device will

lose all installed applications, registry settings, shortcuts and application data. A device may cold

boot for many reasons. This may be due to battery drain or hardware reset being performed by

the user. If the device cold boots in a production environment, appropriate deployment setup

must be in place to automatically bring the device back up in the same functional state as before

the cold boot. All device settings, applications, configuration data and shortcuts should be

restored automatically. Doing so is a “must have” requirement for production deployment to

minimize device down time.

Since the entire device and most of the application configuration settings are maintained in the

registry, a device cold boot would require complete re-configuration for all device settings such as

screen calibration and network settings. Since all our smart client configurations are maintained in

the registry, these will have to be reconfigured as well.

Cold boot persistence performs the following during a device cold boot:

 Automatically re-install desired applications

 Automatically restore device and application configuration settings

Currently there is no single standard procedure to restore settings on Windows CE devices after

a cold boot. Although functionally similar, different manufacturers provide different procedures to

achieve this functionality on their devices.

For cold boot setup, these steps should be followed in listed order. Since every device

manufacturer provides a slight variation in intermediate steps during a cold boot, you should also

review knowledgebase articles in the support section of our website for device specific details.

1. Calibrate device stylus and WLAN settings (SSID, WEP Key, DHCP etc)

2. Install and configure the Naurtech smart client. This includes host connection settings

and any auto-login macros.

3. Copy our product CAB files to a specific location on the device compact flash card /

SDMMC card

4. Run the registry backup utility. Most vendors provide a utility to backup the registry and

have it automatically restore during a cold boot. The following table lists these for some of

the popular device manufacturers

Device Manufacturer Utility

Symbol Restores any .reg file in the \Application folder; .CPY files

Intermec Regflush

Hand Held Products RegBackupRestore

CASIO HTBackup

Psion Teklogix Total Recall

5. Cold boot the device

6. Validate device and application settings

Tip: The Naurtech tool CENERT, an Enhanced Registry Tool, can backup and restore the

registry. CENERT can be used to restore the session configuration setting as well as device

NAURTECH TERMINAL EMULATION & DATA COLLECTION WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS CE / WINDOWS MOBILE

CETerm | CE3270 | CE5250 | CEVT220 Page 124

and network settings. Visit our website at www.naurtech.com and go to the Knowledgebase

articles on the support page for device specific details.

COPY DEVICE IMAGE

For larger deployments, it is beneficial to configure a single device and then replicate the device

image settings to multiple devices. Different manufacturers provide different utilities to do this.

The basic idea is the same however. To replicate a device image, you need to copy the following:

•

••

•

Device settings including WLAN

•

••

•

Installed applications such as the Naurtech smart client

Prior to replicating a device image to another device, please make sure that you completely

configure the device, wireless network and our application settings.

If you have a registered Naurtech client license on the source device, replicating this device

image to another will also copy the license key of this source device. Because your registration

keys are based upon a License ID unique to each device, this will result in a licensing error

message when you attempt to connect to your host application using the destination device. You

will be prompted to re-register the license on the destination device with a registration key based

on its License ID. To do so, enter the new registration key.

Troubleshooting

The following table helps you troubleshoot problems with Naurtech smart clients. Recommended

resolutions are provided for some of the common problems.

Problem Resolution

I connect to the host, but my host

application screen does not look

right.

Make sure that you have correctly configured the “Host Type”

within our application. Your Host Type emulation selected

within our application must match what your host application is

expecting.

When I run the setup application on

the desktop to try to install the

Naurtech TE client on my device, I

get a message stating “…the target

device is not supported”

This may be because of one of the following reasons.

• The version of Windows CE running on the device

may be older. We recommend upgrading the OS.

• There is a mismatch in the actual target CPU

platform of the device and the version of the

Naurtech Smart Client you are trying to install on the

device. Make sure you have downloaded and are

installing the correct platform target application for

your device.

• The CPU of the device for the target platform is not

supported.

Download and install the correct version of our product which

matches your device OS platform and version.

Can I bypass the setup application

and directly install the Naurtech TE

client?

Although this is not recommended, yes you can do this. All you

need to do is copy the correct CAB file from your distribution to

the device and double tap it. This will launch the CAB installer.

Make sure that the cab file being copied corresponds to the

CPU of the device.

I don’t see the host application

screen?

If you have successfully installed the application on to the

device, you can launch it from the start menu. Tap the Start

button and look for "Naurtech CExxxx" where CExxxx is the

name of the Naurtech TE client. Make sure you have

configured the IP address of the host correctly.

My device can ping an IP address

but cannot ping a host alias address

Most likely, your DNS entries on your device for your TCP/IP

network settings are either not set, or are incorrect. Setup the

correct DNS server IP addresses from the “Network” applet of

the control panel. Also make sure that the device is associated

with the access point.

How can I tell the version of the

Naurtech Smart Client that I have

installed?

On the device, select [File][About] from the application

menu. The About dialog indicates the product name and

version.

I cannot connect to my host

application.

Make sure that the network configuration of the device is

functional. Independent of our application, ping the host

address that you have configured in our application. If you can

ping this address, make sure you are using the correct type or

terminal emulation to connect to the host application. Also

make sure that you are using the correct telnet port number.

This is the port number on which the host application is

“listening” for client connection attempts.

I connect to my host application

very briefly and then get

disconnected

Make sure you are using the correct host emulation type. Also,

some host applications do not allow multiple connections from

the same client device.

How do I make sure that my session

settings are maintained over a

device cold boot / hardware reset?

Refer to the “Deployment: Cold Boot Setup” section of the

manual.

I cannot read the terminal screen

very clearly. Is there a way to make

the font bold?

Yes, there is. Change the font visibility settings on the Display

configuration tab. You can change the font weight and font

size. Additionally, you can also change the text and

background color to enhance readability.

Can I change the foreground and

background colors of my terminal?

Yes you can do this from the “Colors” tab under Display tab

configuration.

Can I use a Naurtech CETerm smart

client along with a virtual barcode

scanner wedge application?

Yes you can. It is recommended that if you use a virtual

barcode wedge application, you disable the integrated scanner

control within our application. This setting is under the

“Scanner” tab of the session configuration.

How can I check if I have a scanner-

enabled version of Naurtech TE and

Browser client installed?

Look for “Scanner” and “Symbology” tabs in the Session

configuration dialog. If these tabs are present, the installed

client has is a device tailored version with integrated barcode

scanning support.

I cannot scan barcodes. The

scanner does not turn on

Make sure that you have the correct “device tailored” version

of a Naurtech Smart Client installed. In the “Scanner”

configuration, make sure the “Enable” checkbox is checked.

My barcode scanner turns on,

however I cannot decode the

barcodes

Make sure that the barcode symbology that you are trying to

scan is enabled in the “Symbology” tab of the session

configuration.

My scanned data is sometimes

inconsistent. However when I go

into [Session][Configure] and hit

OK, the scanner resumes working

correctly.

This typically happens when there is a conflict in initializing the

scanner. Make sure there is no scan wedge application

running in addition to Naurtech smart client. It is

recommended, depending upon your requirements, that you

either use the scan wedge application or the integrated

scanner from within the Naurtech clients, but not both.

I recorded my macro, but it does not

consistently playback to

completion. Why?

Macro playback is sensitive to the host application response

times and network propagation delays. These vary depending

upon network traffic and concurrent host application usage.

Increase the "Delay" setting for macro playback. This will give

the more time for the host application to respond and you

macros will playback to completion successfully.

How can I take a trace of my

connection with my host application

You can use the HOSTSIM application to trace a host

connection. Detailed instructions for using HOSTSIM are

available in a knowledgebase article on the support page of

the Naurtech website at www.naurtech.com

My device screen freezes or

responds slowly

Close all applications and run these again. If this continues to

happen, soft reset your device. Refer to the manufacturer's

documentation for your device on how to do this.

The device screen is hard to read Windows CE & Windows Mobile devices usually have

backlighting, contrast and brightness controls to improve

readability. Refer to the documentation from your device

manufacturer on how to change these to your preference.

When using Naurtech clients, you can further enhance

readability by selecting color schemes, make the font bold and

increase the display text point size. You can also install a new

font on your device.

Lastly you can also configure your device to "turn on" the

backlight, when the stylus is tapped. You can control this from

the "Backlight" applet from the System tab in

[Start][Settings]

My stylus taps seem to be giving an

incorrect response

Adjust the touch screen to respond more accurately by running

the screen alignment applet. You can do this by running the

"Align" applet from the System tab in [Start][Settings]

I would like more information on

your Data Collection Web Browser

and the Scripting Guide. Where are

these available?

There are separate Web Browser Programmers Reference

and a Scripting Guide provided. You can download these from

the support section of our website.
