MT7570 Vehicle Mount Terminal
Running Wscript VB and Jscript applications:
VB and Jscript script applications can be run by creating a shortcut to:
c:\Windows\system32\wscript.exe.
where
For example: a file, tellme.js, on the desktop, containing:
//tellme.js
WScript.Echo(“Tell Me About It”); //Capital WS and Capital E
Would be run by a shortcut targeting:
C:\Windows\System32\WScript.exe “C:\Documents and Settings\MT7570W\Desktop\tellme.js”
Running Company Intranet Web Pages in kiosk mode:
You can run Internet Explorer in kiosk mode to access programs written on your company's web site.
To open your site with Internet Explorer in kiosk mode, create a shortcut to:
“c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome -k http://www.mywebsite.com
If didn't purchase the attachable keyboard, you may need to write or purchase a separate program, or
provide a keyboard on the web page to ensure that the on-screen keyboard is always available. The
user can close the default On-Screen keyboard at any time, but will not have any way to get it back
besides rebooting the device.
Also, any website targeted for use in kiosk mode should include navigation buttons. The typical back,
home, and refresh buttons will not be displayed while in kiosk mode.
To open a web site normally you can create a shortcut to:
“c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome http://www.mywebsite.com
To open the default homepage, just create a shortcut targeting:
“c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
Connecting to legacy servers:
The MT7570 comes with several applications to help your users connect to older terminal based
systems, beyond the Window's defaults.
1. TELNET (Default XP telnet client) – connect to terminals supporting VT52, VT100, ANSI, and VTNT
type terminals. Can be used in targeted shortcuts as:
“C:\Windows\System32\telnet.exe” hostNameOrIPaddress[:port] where [:port] is optional and
hostNameOrIPaddress is the name or IP address of the server.
2. TeraTerm – connect to terminals supporting VT, VT101, VT102, VT282, VT320, VT283 or connect
directly to a serial port. Typical automations of TeraTerm would have you connect to the server you
intend to connect to, setup and configuration, save the configuration profile and then run the configura-
tion as:
“C:\Program Files\TTERMPRO\ttermpro.exe” /F=file_based_on_terarterm.ini
