The WireLess Studio Administrator (WSAdm), allows to manage:
WSAdm can run on the same computer as the server (that runs the WireLess Studio Server "WSServer") or on another computer connected to the same network as WSServer. The PC that runs WSWClient must have the TCP/IP protocol loaded. See the Administrator's Guide / Network Configuration / Administrator. To install just WSAdm on a PC, see the Administrator Guide / Installation from WebSite / Administrator. |
To launch the program, click on the desktop WSAdm icon |
Or launch it from "Start / Programs / WireLess Studio / WireLess Studio Administrator" |
You must connect to one server to access the administrator tasks.
Click on the "Connection to Server" button. |
|
Select the server from the list or input the name of a new server (or an IP
address).
You can modify the WSServer administration host port (2002 by default). If the IP address or port are not correct, change the configuration. |
While connected to a server, you are able to
manage:
To close the current connection click on "Disconnect From Server". |
A profile identifies a user or a group of users. Each profile has an associated
password.
The profile groups one or more WireLess Studio applications.
Each application has a title (displayed to the user) and an executable path.
The user is asked for the profile and password at sign-in. Then, the list of available applications for this profile is displayed so the user is able to choose among them for execution.
Profiles and applications are managed by the WireLess Studio Program Manager (WSPm), which is the default executable file launched by the server. You can bypass the sign-in process replacing the program manager with your own WireLess Studio application.

7.6 Server Connection Wizard |
||
The Server Connection Wizard allows the clients to find the WireLess
Studio Servers across the network, without knowing their IP addresses. (See
Network Configuration
/ Server Connection Wizard). To enable this task, select "Enable task" check box. The Connection Wizard ID is the identifier that allows to differentiate or group the servers by the Client. The value "(hostname)" sends the host computer name to the client. Otherwise the ID shown here is sent. The client will search for an ID or "all IDs" ("?").
The Wizard is used to perform multi-server Load Balancing features, see Network configuration 7.2 Balance client connections in a multi-server environment |
||
7.7 Client configuration |
||
This dialog box allows to configure some client connection parameters. Startup application (PM) (Program Manager) frame allows to manage the application menu, profiles and passwords. You can replace this startup application with another. Inactivity time-out frame allows to automatically disconnect the client if no RF transaction is detected on this time lapse (in minutes). 0 means "no time-out". Daily Auto Shutdown Time allows to indicate the time of the day when WireLess Studio is shutdown and all terminals are disconnected. Short File Names check box allows to configure the file naming mode used by WireLess Studio, long or short (8.3) form. Use IP to Log enables to configure the log file name. The name of the file that keeps the registry of client activity will contain the client IP. For example, a terminal having 10.10.10.1 as IP address will have a log file named "wst_10_10_10_1.log". WARNING: Do not use this method if you have several WSt clients on the same PC, because they have the same IP address.
