enhancements: ·
Secure Shell
(SSH) Protocol. CETerm now contains a feature-rich implementation
of the Secure Shell Protocol. Both SSH-1 and SSH-2 protocols are supported,
with a broad range of encryption and authentication options. Encryptions
include AES-256, Blowfish, and Triple-DES. Authentication can use traditional
passwords or public-key infrastructure (PKI). See the CETerm User Manual for
complete details. ·
Extensive
Additions to CETerm Scripting. The CETerm Scripting feature was first
introduced with Version 5.1 in April 2006.
Since then we have been very busy adding capabilities and hardware
support. We have integrated RFID
hardware, both real and virtual serial ports, and provided access to many
Windows CE system features. With
Scripting, you can build a locked-down launcher for multiple applications,
integrate RFID with a TE application or automate complex workflows as just a
few examples. We use the industry
standard JavaScript language so you won’t waste time learning a limited proprietary
language. Please see the CETerm
Scripting Guide for a full description of the features. ·
New Scripting
Automation Objects. Here is a partial list of the new
automation objects in CETerm scripting: 1. OS.Event – Named Event access and script
launching. 2. OS.File – File read, write, append, listing,
copy, etc. 3. OS.Process – Launch and control other
programs. 4. OS.Network – 5. OS.Window – Find and control running
programs. 6. Device.SerialPort – Full integration of
peripherals. 7. Device.Keyboard – Keyboard control,
system wide HotKeys 8. Device.RFID – Control RFID reading and
writing. ·
Additional Web
Browser Extensions. Our Industrial Web Browser now supports
additional HTML META tags, JavaScript extensions and ActiveX controls to
build more robust data collection applications. These extensions allow you to control the
device, its peripherals and application settings directly from your HTML
page. It is truly the most robust platform to build web based Data Collection
applications. We continue to support
legacy Symbol Pocket Browser and Intermec IBrowse Meta tags as well. The Web
Browser is available for all Windows Mobile and Windows CE devices. ·
Keyboard and
Key Controls. CETerm contains extensive features to
control the hardware keys on a device.
We have recently added features to prevent Windows Mobile from
hijacking function keys. We have also
added a “Trap” feature to make it easier to select keys for remapping when
the key label is misleading. There are
also new features which make it easier to use phone-style keypads with IBM
emulation. ·
More Network
Awareness Features. We continue to strengthen the network
awareness of CETerm. There are new
features to allow recovery when a browser session loses connectivity during a
page load. Using these features and
Network Alerts for lost RF connectivity will virtually eliminate dropped
sessions without needing an expensive middleware server. CETerm delivers a simpler operating
environment and the lowest cost of ownership. ·
Additional
Updates. In addition to dozens
of other enhancements, we added support for new device platforms and current
Windows CE versions from all major hardware vendors. Please
refer to the product manuals for details. You can also review the "Hot
Tips" document in our knowledgebase. Please review any device specific readme files for additional
information. _______________________________________________________ Upgrading to Version 5.5Please
