Wireless Network Configuration Chapter 10 - Wireless Network Configuration 10.1 - Wireless Networking Concepts The OmniTerm supports 802.11b wireless networking using Cisco 350 series PCMCIA adapters. Additional 802.11b vendor support will be added to the terminal as drivers become available. When using the wireless adapter, the OmniTerm can connect to your wireless infrastructure and participate in you LAN. The wireless standard 802.
Wireless Network Configuration 10.3 - Configure Wireless Settings The wireless settings are configured via the Network program located in the Devices Tab of the Terminal Properties panel. SSID, WEP and other wireless security settings are set within the configuration screens which follow. If your organization broadcasts the SSID and does not have WEP enabled (no security enabled on your network), there is nothing to configure. The terminal will auto-detect the network and does not require configuration.
Wireless Network Configuration From within the "Cisco 802.11 miniport Settings" IP Address tab, you can manually set the IP address the wireless card will use or use DHCP IP Address tab From within the Name Servers tab, you can manually specify your DNS and Wins servers if you are not using DHCP.
Wireless Network Configuration From within the Wireless Network tab, you can select an access point to associate with, if the SSID broadcast is enabled on your Access Points. If SSID broadcast is not enabled, click the Add button under the Preferred Networks section. Wireless Networks tab From within the Wireless Network tab, you can specify the type of wireless network in your environment. Businesses normally only use Access Point based networks.
Wireless Network Configuration From within the Wireless Network Properties screen you can specify your SSID, WEP and 802.1x settings. If you use WEP and specify your WEP settings manually, un-select the check box “The key is provided automatically” then lick the Modify WEP Key button. The WEP Enabled setting on this panel is set automatically based on the WEP setting detected on your Access Point.
Wireless Network Configuration After all configuration settings have been entered, click OK in the top right corner of the "Cisco 802.11 miniport Settings" panel to save your settings and close the panel. Restart the terminal to initialize the settings which were just saved. 10.
AS/400 FTP Setup Appendix A - AS/400 FTP Setup The following instructions will assist you in setting up the AS/400 FTP server so it can be used for “Flash Update” of the OmniTerm. You must have CA/400 (or equivalent software) running on a PC and Security Officer authority to complete these steps. Please Note: There are a number of changes which will be made to your current AS/400 FTP server which may have security consequences and are entirely your responsibility.
AutoUpdate / AutoConfiguration Appendix B - AutoUpdate / AutoConfiguration (Revision 1.02) AutoUpdate / AutoConfiguration Setup & Use The OmniTerm, with access to a DHCP server and an FTP server, can power on and automatically update its firmware version and/or its configuration if newer objects are available on the FTP server. In addition, DHCP can provide various RDP/ICA connection parameters. Note: See SNMP User Guide for more information on building and preparing a configuration image.
AutoUpdate / AutoConfiguration Options 200 through 205 are Terminal Server connection options (RDP & ICA): Remote servers: Enter host name or IP address for the terminal servers. The entry format is as follows: -or-< RDP:*\host;ICA:*\host address> where: "host" can be the IP address or host name. "name" is the session name in the Terminal Manager of the OmniTerm "RDP:" and "ICA:" identify the connection type Examples: 1. 192.168.1.
Advanced Terminal Customization Appendix C - Advanced Terminal Customization C.1 - Emulation Font Upload The OmniTerm terminal emulation program (TermPro) comes with a default font which supports all languages the terminal is designed to support. This font may not be desirable to some users. To address this issue, a feature was added to allow the Administrator to install fonts onto the terminal for use with the local emulation program.
Advanced Terminal Customization Font Install Procedure If DHCP options 206 – 208 are served, please start at step 2. 1.
Advanced Terminal Customization Related Messages: $UNINSTALL FONTS fontname Reboot by user is required. $LIST INSTALL FONTS$ The SNMPadm "Message History" lists the installed fonts.
Advanced Terminal Customization C.2 - Boot-up Splash Screen Upload The initial splash screen, that is seen just after power up and shows the progress bar during boot can be changed. For instance, some customers prefer to have the splash screen of their company logo. Install Prerequisites Minimum version requirements: ver. E5404 NLynx SNMPadm Management software installed on a PC or server, version 1.83.10 or above New Splash Screen file named Splash.bmp installed on your FTP server on the network.
Advanced Terminal Customization C.3 - Remote Serial Number Update The serial number is loaded into the flash by the factory for all NLynx terminals which were shipped with version x0350 or above. If the terminal you are using does not have the serial number loaded, it can be entered manually on the terminal (see section 7.1) or via a special command. Use SNMPadm 1.83.
Advanced Terminal Customization C.4 - Registry Edits The configuration of a windows based terminal is held in the 'Registry'. This registry can be edited to change certain operating characteristics. Use SNMPadm version 1.83.7 or above to edit the registry. C.4.1 - Disable Browser Address Bar Terminal versions: E5404 or above. For some applications, it may be desirable to limit the user's access to the address bar. This may be useful in a kiosks or intranet application.
Advanced Terminal Customization C.4.2 - Autostart Delay Feature Terminal versions: E5404 or above. The Autostart Delay feature was added to allow for circumstances where the network connection was not established by the time the sessions would be autostarted. For example, when using wireless networking, it is possible that the terminal will not authenticate to the Access Point by the time the session has started. This would result in the session failing to connect to the host.
