- 1.0 Product overview
- ====================
- Mocha Pocket Telnet is an application for the Palm Computing(R) Platform.
- There is support for PALM OS 3 or newer.
-
- Mocha Pocket Telnet makes it possible to connect to an UNIX host with
- the TCP/IP/TELNET protocol and emulate a VT220 terminal.
-
- Version 1.1 includes support for the SPT1700 device from Symbol. It is
- a PALM III with a bar code scanner.
-
- 2.0 Functionality
- =================
- - Supports VT100/VT220 emulation.
- - User defined functions keys.
- - Autologin with scripting parameter.
- - Possible to use Graffiti or build in keyboard.
- - User defined macros.
- - User defined function keys.
- - Use Scroll and hardware buttons on the PalmPilot
- as cursor keys (+ return and delete).
- - Screen size 24*80. Possible to navigate the view with a
- Tap on the screen or moving a small screen window.
- - 2 font types, giving a view screen size 16*32 or 24*40 characters.
- - Bar code reader with SPT1700 (tested with Palm OS 3.2)
-
- The Telnet screen contains a large view window for the VT220
- terminal (16*32 or 24*40 characters) and at the bottom are a set
- of buttons plus a small window
-
- on off ctrl esc keys macros [window]
-
- on : Make a session to the UNIX host
- off : Close a session
- ctrl : Next key typed on the graffiti or the build in keyboard will
- be a ctrl character
- esc : send an ESC character to the UNIX host
- keys : select a function key in the pop-up list
- macros : select a macro in the pop-up list
- window : Tap or move the small window to change the view of
- the VT220 terminal window. It is also possible to tap the main
- screen to change the view.
-
- 2.1 Connecting/Disconnecting
- ============================
-
- Tap on the On/Off buttons at the lower left part of the screen to
- control a session with the UNIX host.
-
- A Tap on "on" will start a session with the UNIX host. If there is not
- already defined an IP address for the UNIX host, a dialog window will
- pop-up asking for an UNIX host name. Enter an IP address and a port number.
- The default port number for the Telnet protocol is 23.
-
- It is possible to select "Show Negotiation". Using this option
- will display the Telnet protocol information's. It should only
- be used in a debugging situation.
-
- 2.2 Function keys
- =================
- In the menu - Options - Keys it is possible to change the
- default VT220 values for the function keys. In most cases it
- cannot be a good idea. It is better to configure the UNIX host to
- use a VT220 terminal.
- It is possible to enter any value in octal notation. An octal
- value must start with a \ followed of 3 digits.
-
- Examples:
-
- ESC : \033
- CR : \015
- LF : \012
-
- As default following mapping is used:
-
- ESCAPE : \033
- UP : \033[A
- DOWN : \033[B
- RIGHT : \033[C
- LEFT : \033[D
- F1 : \217P
- F2 : \217Q
- F3 : \217R
- F4 : \217S
- F5 : \033[15~
- F6 : \033[17~
- F7 : \033[18~
- F8 : \033[19~
- F9 : \033[20~
- F10 : \033[21~
- F11 : \033[23~
- F12 : \033[24~
- F13 : \033[25~
- F14 : \033[26~
- F15 : \033[28~
- F16 : \033[29~
- F17 : \033[31~
- F18 : \033[32~
- F19 : \033[33~
- F20 : \033[34~
- DELETE : \177
- RETURN : \015\012
-
-
- 2.3 Macros
- ==========
- In the menu - Options - Macros it is possible to define some
- simple macros. A Macro is just a text which is send to the
- UNIX host when the user select the macro from the pop-up list.
-
- It is possible to enter any value as macro data in octal notation.
- An octal value must start with a \ followed of 3 digits.
-
- Examples:
-
- CR : \015
- LF : \012
-
- 2.4 Hardware buttons
- ====================
- It is possible to use the hardware buttons on the PalmPilot
- to navigate the UNIX application.
-
- A PalmPilot has 5 hardware keys with following use in Mocha Pocket Telnet:
-
-
- DELETE LEFT UP/DOWN RIGHT RETURN
-
- It is not possible to change this selection.
-
- 2.5 Auto Login
- ==============
- To make it easier for the novice to use Mocha Pocket Telnet to connect
- to a single host, it is possible to define an automatic login sequence.
- Of course there is not much security involved doing it!
-
- In menu - options - Auto login, it is possible to define a search
- string, and a response string which is send back to the host on a match.
-
- Example:
-
- Search : Login Answer : anonymous\012
- Search : Password Answer : mypassword\012
-
- To include characters as CR and LF, use the octal notation :
-
- \abc = octal value. (LF = \012 and CR = \015)
-
-
- 3.0 Limitations
- ===============
- As to the limited screen and keyboard on a PalmPilot organizer
- following limitations compared to a real VT220 terminal
- have been implemented:
-
- - Supports only PALM OS 3.x or later (PALM III, PALM V).
- - only 24*80 screen mode
- - no support for large character set
- - no support for print
- - no support for blink/increased intensity or underscored
- - no support for keypad and editing keys (can be defined as macros)
-
- You Palm Pilot must have access to a PPP network. Either with a
- modem or a cable connected direct to a host with PPP support. It
- is not possible to use the HotSync software to get a connection
- to an UNIX Host.
-
- 4.0 License System
- =================
- The license system for Mocha Pocket Telnet is very user friendly. It is
- possible to run in Demo mode for some time to test the product. At every
- session start the program, will tell it is a Demo. Otherwise there
- will be no limitations to the product.
-
- When you order, we will send a software license key, which must
