Keyboard Mapping<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNote that the telnet port will change to the default value if you change emulation types. Some telnet applications will use a non-standard port, and some companies change the port for security reasons. For a connection to be established, the address, port and emulation type must all be correctly configured for your application. \u201ceSP0002 Host Not Responding\u201d<\/em> Any errors in these settings will result in an error on the device that the emulation host is not responding.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTesting an Emulation Session.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Testing your settings so far can be done by starting a console session. From the Administrator, right click on the connections list and select Start Console Session. This will test the StayLinked Server\u2019s ability to connect to your telnet server. Please note that this is a very basic client intended to display shared sessions. Some characters may not appear as they would on devices. If your devices are not displaying special or international characters, you may need to add a host code page to the emulation properties above. See the Double-Byte and Unicode Localization Support (DBCS) guide, located in the StayLinked solutions download page; for more details on international character support. <\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can end a console session by pressing the escape key and answering yes to the \u201cExit Session: Y or N\u201d prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding a Startup Script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Once you have established a connection to the emulation host, StayLinked can provide a startup script to enter the first few transactions. This is often used to launch an application screen, bypass menus or even provide login credentials. Startup scripts can be added in one of two places, the telnet host entry or in the device group. More details on these dialogues and the available options can be found in the StayLinked Administrator User Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The telnet host entry has a similar dialogue, but scripting in the device group will have priority over scripting in the telnet host entry.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nInstructional Video – Adding a Startup Script<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n

Storage Modes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Starting in v15.2, the StayLinked Administrator supports three different storage modes. These modes utilize different file system locations on the Windows machine for storage of configuration files. The three modes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Legacy
When launched, the StayLinked Administrator first reads from the staylinkedadmin.ini in the current active directory (\\Program Files\\Stay-Linked Administrator\\ if run \u2018as administrator\u2018 or in C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\VirtualStore\\Program Files\\StayLinked\\Stay-Linked Administrator) to determine which storage mode to use. If there is no entry, the User mode is the default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If no line appears, then the storage mode is User. If one of these lines appear, that mode will be used, noting that this is case sensitive and all lower-case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
storage_mode=legacy
The current storage mode is displayed under the information dialogue for the Help > About Administrator menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The legacy mode will run from the Windows Virtual Store unless the program is run in Windows \u2018as administrator\u2019. This should not be confused with logging into the Administrator with the administrator user account. Note that user accounts on the Windows machine with administrative rights do not affect the storage location of files other than the name of the user directory for that Windows account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The file locations are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When run using User mode file storage:
When run using legacy mode, but not \u2018as administrator\u2019 in Windows:
When run using legacy mode \u2018as administrator\u2019 in Windows:
The AppData directory for the current user can be accessed in Windows Explorer by typing %appdata% but will navigate to the roaming subdirectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Center Windows and Dialogues<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nStarting in v15.2, a new setting has been added to the [SYSTEM] section of the 'staylinkedadmini.ini' file that may be helpful to users who add or remove multiple PC screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this setting is found during the Administrator startup, all windows\/panels will be opened in the center of the current display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CenterAllPanels=Y<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This entry must be added to the active version of the 'staylinkedadmin.ini' file in the [SYSTEM] section as described in above section for Storage Modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that the Administrator will save the active window positions for use when the Administrator is opened again in further uses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
