Windows CE .NET Thin Clients

CE.NET Printing

  1. Adding a USB printer on my WTC-400 but I don't see the option for USB when I am adding it?

  2. My USB printer will not print - looks like it spools but nothing happens.

  3. Not able to input an IP address for the printer path - we need to be able to do this.

  4. How do I set up my CE.NET unit to do a print screen from my 5250 session?

  5. How do I connect a printer in an RDP session on an LTC/WTC unit?

  6. How is printing through the browser (as well through Office viewers and Acrobat Reader) handled in our WINCE Terminal?

  7. How do I set up my CE terminal to print using RAW via a browser?

  8. How do I set up my CE mail client to print using RAW printing?

CE.NET Terminal Properties

  1. Customer is using the WTC-550 and his question is on emulation. From all the thin client units he has have incoming traffic on port 23 of the AS/400 which is normal but all outgoing traffic appears to be leaving on port 10,000. Other telnet clients he has used in the past use random ports but this telnet application seems to use only a specific one, why?

  2. How do I restore the WTC-350 to factory defaults?

  3. Are touch screens supported on the CE.NET units?

  4. Will my CE thin client's clock adjust itself automatically for Daylight Saving Time this year?

Response from Ettore:

The traffic on port 23 is outgoing traffic (from terminal to AS/400). Traffic on port 10000 is incoming traffic (from AS/400 to terminal).

Our Windows CE and Linux based emulators use port >= 10000 for incoming traffic because our implementation of special auto reconnection feature (used after terminal power fail), require a fixed incoming port number for each display session. At each power on the display sessions must used same incoming port. The number 10000 is an arbitrary number I chose. I could choose any number between 1024 to 65535. Other emulator not implementing the special auto-reconnect feature, leave the operative system (windows XP, windows CE, Linux) to choose any available incoming port from 1024 to 65535.

How do I restore a unit that has an OS prior to CE 5.0 Pro to factory defaults?

To restore the registry of a unit that has an OS prior to CE 5.0 Pro to factory default, you have to delete or edit the registry file saved on the DOM.

There are three options:

1) - turn on the unit and during first stage of boot (Bos splash bitmap with progress bar) press Ctrl+C to exit the boot program and go to the dos prompt. The text color is black so you cannot see what you are typing.
- type cd docume~1
- type echo a > system.hv
- reboot the terminal

2) - boot the device from an usb device with DOS

- type d: or c: to point the DOM (with a bios version the DOM drive letter is "d:" with other bios the DOM is "c:")
- type cd docume~1
- type echo a > system.hv
- reboot the terminal

3) - ftp to unit's IP
- sign in with admin admin
- type bin <enter>
- get defpar <enter>
- reboot it is back to factory defaults.

Are touch screens supported on the CE.NET units?

Touch screens are supported on the WBT-350 but are supported on all other models.

Will my CE thin client's clock adjust itself automatically for Daylight Saving Time this year?

Unfortunately it will not adjust automatically - we are currently working on a fix for this issue and it should be available very soon - keep checking back for the announcement of completion.

There is a fix for the DST time for the 5.0 kernel and it can be found here:

ftp://boswebcom.apollo.uplinkearth.com/WTC600/

5.0.25

Call BOSaNOVA tech support at 866-864-5250 for the user ID and password.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON THE OLDER KERNEL OR IT WILL CORRUPT THE DOM!
