This section describes the features and architecture of the StayLinked product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>StayLinked Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>StayLinked, with its Client2Host&#x2122;\narchitecture, eliminates the typical challenges associated with deploying a\nwireless terminal solution in your enterprise by providing: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Reliable wireless user remote control of host-based application sessions.<\/li><li>Centralized wireless session\/client configuration, monitoring and control.<\/li><li>Secure end-to-end wireless data transmission between clients and the application host.<\/li><li>Programmable telnet host screen recognition, reformatting and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.staylinked.com\/modernize-in-one-hour\">SmartTE modernization<\/a>.<\/li><li>Tracking of unique StayLinked devices and their usage of the StayLinked system.<\/li><li>Visibility of analytical system and application data using a web-based user interface.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>StayLinked Application Components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three basic components that make up the StayLinked system: the host-based server application, which initiates and preserves all wireless terminal user sessions on the application host computer; the thin client application that resides on the various wireless devices; and a Windows-based administrator console that provides centralized visibility, configuration, and management of all connected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>The StayLinked Server Application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The StayLinked server is a Java\napplication that runs on the application host computer or on a separate\ncomputer connected to the host computer(s). The server listens for connection\nrequests from devices running the StayLinked thin client application and\ninitiates the appropriate 5250, 3270, VT100\/220\/420, SSH, or TESS emulation\nsessions to the requested host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The server owns and maintains the\ntelnet session at the host computer, sending screen updates to the device and\nforwarding user inputs from the device to the session. The server also\nrecognizes desired screens and can take actions when these screens are\nrecognized and\/or reformat these screens to fit on small-screen devices or just\nto have a different look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The StayLinked Server runs natively\non a wide variety of reliable host computing platforms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>IBM AS\/400 \u2013 iSeries \u2013 i5 \u2013 System i \u2013 IBM i\n(OS\/400, i5\/OS, IBM i)<\/li><li>IBM RS\/6000 \u2013 pSeries \u2013 p5 \u2013 System p (AIX)<\/li><li>HP9000 (HP-UX)<\/li><li>Sun Solaris<\/li><li>SCO OpenServer, OpenUnix &amp; UnixWare<\/li><li>Linux (x86)<\/li><li>Microsoft Windows<\/li><li>Apple OS X<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation of the StayLinked server application is described in section 2 of this user guide, in more detail in the server-specific installation guides, and operationally in the server tuning documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>The StayLinked Thin Client Application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A StayLinked thin client\napplication is installed on each device that will connect to the host computer.\nSince each device type is somewhat unique, the client applications are written\nfor specific devices or families of devices. The ultra-thin client software\ninstalls quickly and provides the local support for display, keystrokes,\nscanning, radio communications, and diagnostics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon startup, the client requests a\nsession from the StayLinked server application. The client sends keystrokes,\nscans and touch events to the server and receives screen updates back from the\nserver. In addition, many diagnostic utilities are included with the client\napplication to help identify various problems with the device and wireless\nnetwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StayLinked thin client applications\nare available for a wide range of devices, including but not limited to; Wired,\nRF\/Wireless and Cellular network devices from Zebra, Motorola, Symbol,\nIntermec, Honeywell, DataLogic, PSC, HHP, Psion and others, running DOS,\nPocketPC\/Windows Mobile, and Windows CE\/CE.Net, Android, iOS and Windows\ndesktop and tablet operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation of the StayLinked thin client application is described in general in section 2 of this user guide and in more detail in the various device-specific client support guides. StayLinked client application features and functions are described in detail in the various OS-specific client user guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>The StayLinked Administrator Application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The StayLinked administrator\nprovides centralized device and session management. This powerful application\ncan be installed on one or more Windows PCs and enables administrators to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>View and sign on to one or more StayLinked\nservers<\/li><li>Set up properties for one or more telnet hosts<\/li><li>Specify screens that can be recognized and\nconfigure actions to be taken when these screens are recognized and\/or reformat\nthese recognized screens to fit better or look different on the devices<\/li><li>Set up properties for one or more device groups<\/li><li>Manage keyboard maps, tap spots and client\nsettings<\/li><li>View and control connected StayLinked devices<\/li><li>Send messages, files, and remote commands to\ndevices<\/li><li>Prepare and deploy client software updates to\ndevices<\/li><li>Create partnerships between two or more devices\nto share the same terminal session<\/li><li>View, share, transfer or completely take over\ndevice sessions<\/li><li>Troubleshoot device and network problems<\/li><li>Build and print \u2018Scan2Configure\u2019 and\n\u2018Scan2Command\u2019 profiles that allow you to configure and control the StayLinked\nClient software by scanning barcodes<\/li><li>Track the usage of each unique device that connects\nto the StayLinked Server<\/li><li>Configure the StayLinked IQ Technology Preview\nsettings and launch the StayLinked IQ user interface using a web browser.<\/li><li>Manage and control the users that are allowed to\nrun the StayLinked Administrator<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation of the StayLinked administrator application is described in the <a href=\"..\/knowledge-base\/getting-started\/\">Getting Started <\/a>article on this site.
