Enable Caps Lock on Wavelink TelnetCE configured for VT Host

Issue / Question

Customer wants to know if there is a way to have SHIFT locked for alphabetic keys but not for numeric.

Applicable To

Mobile Computers running Wavelink TelnetCE v7.3.x configured for VT Host

Resolution / Answer

Overview:

The Caps Lock changes the initial keyboard mode, starting with all keys as upper case or lower case depending on the setting.

• The 5250/3270 emulation defaults to having Caps Lock On.
• The VT/HP defaults to off.

Either default mode may be overridden with this option.
If the Never Change option is selected, the Caps Lock state will not be adjusted by Telnet.
 

Solution:

1. Using the Wavelink TelnetCE Product Configuration tool installed on your PC, modify the Emulation> Keyboard> Caps Lock setting from Default to On.



2. Save then push this new config to the mobile computer
3. Restart TelnetCE client
