Chapter 1: Introduction 1Chapter 1:IntroductionThis document provides information about installing, configuring, and usingthe Wavelink Telnet Client for PSC 300-series mobile devices.This section provides the following information:• Document assumptions• Document conventions• An overview of the Wavelink TN ClientDocument AssumptionsThis document assumes that the reader has the following:• Familiarity with PSC 300-series DOS-based mobile devices.• Knowledge of wireless networks and wireless networking protocols.• Knowledge of TCP/IP, including IP addressing, subnet masks, routing,BootP/DHCP, WINS, and DNS.• Knowledge of Telnet services and terminal emulation, including IBM5250/3270, HP, and VT100/220.Document ConventionsThe following section contains information about text-formatting conventionsin this manual.

2 PSC 300-Series Wavelink TN Client User’s GuideTable 1-1 lists the conventions that are used in this manual.Conventioncourier newboldDescriptionAny time you interact directly with text-based user interfaceoptions, such as a button, or type specific information into antext box, such as a file pathname, that option appears in theCourier New text style. This text style is also used forkeys that you press, filenames, directory locations, andstatus information.For example:Press ENTER.Click OK.Any time this document refers to a labelled user interfaceoption, such as descriptions of the choices in a dialog box,that option appears in the Bold text style.Examples:Enable the DHCP checkbox.Access the TelnetCE Client Session menu.italicsItalicized text is used to indicate the name of a window ordialog box.For example:The Update Utility dialog box.The Profile Manager dialog box.Table 1-1: Text-Formatting ConventionsIf you have questions about the terminology in this document, see Glossaryon page 169.About the TN ClientThis section provides an overview of the Wavelink Telnet Client.Wavelink TN Client OverviewThe Wavelink TN Client is a DOS-based application that facilitates IBM 5250/3270, VT 100/220, and HP Telnet emulation.Currently, the Wavelink TN Client for PSC 300-series mobile devices is anAvalanche-deployed software package. That is, installing and configuring theWavelink TN Client on PSC 300-series mobile devices requires Avalanche

Chapter 1: Introduction 3Manager and an Avalanche Enabler. The Wavelink TN Client is first installedand configured on the Avalanche Manager, which is a Microsoft Windowsbasedutility that provides for the remote management of mobile devices. TheWavelink TN Client and/or the configuration is then downloaded toAvalanche-enabled PSC mobile devices.NOTE An Avalanche-enabled mobile device (also called an Avalanche client)is a mobile device on which you have installed the Avalanche Enabler. Formore information about installing the Avalanche Enabler on PSC 300-seriesmobile devices, see the PSC 300-Series Avalanche Enabler User’s Guide.Wavelink TN Client ComponentsThe Wavelink TN Client has the following components:• Host profiles• Emulation parameters• LocalizationHost ProfilesA host profile contains all of the information that a mobile device needs toconnect to a particular host, including the IP address of the host, the TCP portnumber on which the host is listening for Telnet requests, the emulation type,and login information.Host profiles provide an easy way for users at a mobile device to establish aconnection with a host without having to remember the parameters that arerequired to establish the session.Emulation ParametersThe configuration utility allows you to configure the emulation parametersfor Telnet sessions. For example, you can change the way the virtual screendisplays on the mobile device, the type and size of font that is used, and thetype of printer to which the mobile device may be connected.You can configure global and per-host emulation parameters.Global emulation parameters apply to terminal emulation with hosts forwhich you have not configured a per-host profile.

4 PSC 300-Series Wavelink TN Client User’s GuideConfiguring per-host emulation parameters allows you to specify theemulation parameters for terminal emulation sessions with a particular host.LocalizationLocalization allows you to deploy language profiles with the Wavelink TNClient.

Appendix A: Managing Clients with Avalanche Manager 53Appendix A: Managing Clients withAvalanche ManagerThis section provides information about using Avalanche Manager tomanage mobile devices, including:• Performing updates• Using network profiles• Using Avalanche client controls• Installing and removing Avalanche software packagesNOTE The steps in this section were developed with Avalanche Manager 3.3.2and a PSC Falcon 345. Screens and steps may vary, depending on the versionof Avalanche Manager that you are using.NOTE For more information about using Avalanche Manager, see the onlinehelp, which is available in the Help menu of the Avalanche ManagementConsole.Performing UpdatesThis section provides information about client-side Avalanche updates.This section discusses the following:• About Updates• Performing Serial Updates• Performing RF UpdatesAbout UpdatesUpdates are the method Avalanche Manager uses to deliver new informationto Avalanche clients (mobile devices with the Avalanche Enabler). The typeof information that is delivered to a mobile device through an update might

54 PSC 300-Series Wavelink TN Client User’s Guidebe a configuration change, an application (software package), or a change toan application (for example, a new configuration for the application or acommand to remove the application) that has already been installed on themobile device.Updates are configured at the Management Console and then pushed to theAvalanche Agent. The update is then downloaded to the appropriate mobiledevice(s) over a serial or RF connection.Update MediaAvalanche Manager can download updates to clients over a serial connectionor over an RF connection. If the Enabler is not configured to update over aserial connection or the serial port is not configured in Avalanche Manager,then only the RF connection will be used.By default, the Avalanche Enabler will attempt to download updates over aserial connection. If a serial connection does not exist between the AvalancheAgent and the mobile device, the Avalanche Enabler will attempt to use theRF network to communicate with Avalanche Manager.Preparing for Serial UpdatesTo perform an update over a serial connection, you must prepare the mobiledevice and the Avalanche Manager.Preparing Avalanche Manager for Serial UpdatesYou must configure Avalanche Manager to use the serial port that isconnected to the mobile device cradle.NOTE Use the serial port on the system that hosts the Avalanche Agent. TheAvalanche Management Console and the Avalanche Agent are separatesoftware components, and they can be installed on separate host systems.To configure Avalanche Manager to use the serial port:1 Ensure that no other applications have control of the serial port on the hostsystem.

Appendix A: Managing Clients with Avalanche Manager 55NOTE Windows applications (for example, Microsoft ActiveSync) can takeownership of a COM port. You will need to ensure that the COM port that isconnected to the mobile device is free for Avalanche Manager to takeownership of it.2 Launch the Avalanche Management Console and connect to theAvalanche Agent.3 Expand the Avalanche Agents tree.4 In the Avalanche Agents tree, locate and right-click Serial Ports.A menu list appears.5 From the menu list, select Auto Detect Available Serial Ports, as shown inFigure A-1.Figure A-1. Configuring Serial Ports in Avalanche ManagerAvalanche Manager finds and takes ownership of the available serial portson the system that hosts the Avalanche Agent.6 In the Avalanche Agents tree, expand Serial Ports.7 Ensure that the serial port that is connected to the mobile device is shownin the list.Preparing the Mobile Device for Serial UpdatesYou must prepare the mobile device, before you can perform an update overa serial connection.

56 PSC 300-Series Wavelink TN Client User’s GuideTo prepare the mobile device for serial updates:1 Place the mobile device in the appropriate cradle.2 Connect the device cradle to the system that hosts the Avalanche Agent.NOTE Ensure that you are using a null modem cable.he mobile device is now ready to receive updates from the AvalancheManager.Preparing for RF UpdatesYou can force updates down to an Avalanche client over an RF connectionbetween the mobile device and the Avalanche Agent.The following is a list of guidelines consider, to ensure communicationbetween the mobile device and the Avalanche Agent:• Ensure that the Avalanche Agent and the mobile device have valid IPaddresses. (If you are using DHCP or BOOTP, ensure that they cancommunicate properly with the DHCP/BOOTP server and that the IPparameters the server is serving are correct.)• Ensure that the mobile device is configured with the correct IP address ofthe Avalanche Manager.• Ensure that the mobile device is configured with the correct wirelessparameters (ESSID and encryption method and keys).• Ensure that any firewall service on the network allows Avalanche traffic.(Avalanche Manager communicates on TCP port 1779.)• If the mobile device is on a different IP network than the Avalanche Agent,ensure that the Avalanche Agent and the Avalanche client are configuredwith a valid gateway that provides a valid route to the other network.Performing the UpdateThe Avalanche Enabler automatically communicates with the AvalancheManager and checks for available Avalanche updates, when the AvalancheEnabler launches on the mobile device.

Appendix A: Managing Clients with Avalanche Manager 57You can also use a command at the DOS prompt that momentarily launchesan Avalanche Enabler utility that forces the mobile device to communicatewith the Avalanche Manager and check for updates.To check for available Avalanche updates from the mobile device:1 On the mobile device, access the DOS prompt.2 Change the directory to C:\AVA.3 At C:\AVA, type “a”.4 Press ENTER.The Avalanche Enabler launches, attempts to obtain an IP address (if theAvalanche Enabler is configured for BOOTP/DHCP), and then contactsthe Avalanche Manager and checks for updates. Any updates that areavailable on the Avalanche Manager are downloaded to the mobile device.After the updates are complete, you are returned to the DOS prompt.Using Network ProfilesThis section discusses configuring and deploying Avalanche network profilesto Avalanche clients.About Network ProfilesA network profile is a file that can be downloaded to clients. The file providesconfiguration information that the Avalanche Enabler uses to properlyconfigure the network settings of the client. You can use a network profile toprovide an Avalanche client with the following settings:• IP parameters (including static or dynamic address assignment, subnetmask, DNS servers, WINS servers, and default gateway)• the IP address of the Avalanche Manager that manages the mobile device• the ESSID of the wireless network• WEP key settings for the wireless network
