Introduction
StayLinked is a three-part solution consisting of a Server process, Administrator management console and a Client.
The StayLinked Client software is an "ultra-thin" client that connects to a StayLinked Server to provide terminal emulation (5250, 3270, VT). Clients are available for various device operating systems including; Android, iOS, Windows CE, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, Linux, DOS and Windows desktop-based family of devices. A Java-base client is also available for use on Linux/Unix and any other platform that can support a Java runtime.
StayLinked clients have local configuration options. These options are primarily related to the display of screen information but does not include emulation settings that are controlled by the StayLinked server. StayLinked clients cannot provide terminal emulation access without connecting to a StayLinked Server.
This guide describes the options found in a typical StayLinked client, as well as the SmartTE options available in this client version.
