Applicable To

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.
 

Off 5250/3270 - OFF VT/HP - OFF
On 5250/3270 - ON VT/HP - ON
Default 5250/3270 - ON VT/HP - OFF

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
