Once you start your ActiveX Display control, you can customize it to suit your needs.
The Display control allows you to:
|
• |
launch a File Transfer Request |
|
• |
copy and paste text into edit fields using the Copy and Paste buttons located on the toolbar |
|
• |
change the display font size |
|
• |
refresh the information on the window |
|
• |
select keyboard commands with your mouse |
|
• |
view which keyboard commands are assigned to your keys |
|
• |
modify how the Display control accepts your characters |
|
• |
view technical information about the current control |
|
• |
print the contents of the session window |
|
• |
configure and save individual Display session's properties into a separate file |
These instructions assume that you have already connected to the Web Server.
To start the ActiveX Display control, follow these steps:
|
1. |
Click the Display button on the ActiveX Startup page. The ActiveX Display window opens. The Signon dialog box only opens when
you aren't logged on to the Windows domain as a trusted domain user.
Note The Signon dialog box is not the Mainframe Sign on screen. It allows users to access the BlueZone (or HostFront) cluster only. Sign on to the Mainframe using a traditional Mainframe on screen that opens later.
|
|
2. |
Type your user name and password and press Enter. If the user name or the password is incorrect, the Signon dialog box reopens. If you close the Signon dialog box without
entering a valid user name and password, the Connect button will be dimmed. You must click the Signon button again to obtain
the Signon dialog box and enter a valid user name and password. |
|
3. |
Once you successfully sign on, the Mainframe Sign On screen opens. |
|
4. |
If you want to sign on to HostFront Server using another user name, follow these steps:
|
a. |
Right-click the session window and select Disconnect from the Session sub-menu or click the Disconnect button. |
|
b. |
Right-click the session window and select Signon from the Session sub-menu or click the Signon button. The Signon dialog
box opens. |
|
c. |
Type your new user name and password and press Enter. |
|
d. |
Right-click the session window and select Connect from the Session sub-menu or click the Connect button. |
|
|
5. |
If you want to change your password, you must not be connected to the Mainframe. If you aren't allowed to change your password, the Change Password button and the Change Password command will be disabled.
To change your password, follow these steps:
|
a. |
Right-click the session window and select Change Password from the Session sub-menu or click the Change Password button.
The Change Password dialog box opens. |
|
b. |
Type your old password in the Old Password field. |
|
c. |
Type your new password in the New Password field and retype it in the Confirmation field to confirm its spelling. |
|
d. |
Press Enter. You have successfully changed your password. The next time you sign on, you must use your new password. |
|
|
6. |
Click the Display button on the ActiveX Startup page if you want to open more Display sessions. You can launch as many Display
sessions as the session limit allows. The session limit is defined in your client configuration or by the maximum number of
concurrent sessions allowed by your profile, whichever limit you reach first. |
|
7. |
To reload the session information, right-click the session window and select Reload from the Session sub-menu.
Note Do not use the Refresh button on the browser window to refresh the information on the display window. This causes the current
session to disconnect.
|
|
8. |
Click the About button or select About from the Help menu to see information on the ActiveX Display control. This button
provides you with information on:
|
• |
Client operation system |
|
• |
Version of the ActiveX display |
|
• |
Version of the Server it's connected to |
|
|
9. |
Click the Local Print Screen button to print the contents of the Display control screen. |
|
10. |
Select Exit from the File menu to close the browser. You should always log off from the Mainframe and disconnect the session before you close your Display session. This prevents leaving the host session in an unresolved
state. Click the Disconnect button to disconnect the Display session. |
|
11. |
The Data Encrypted button on appears on the ActiveX Display toolbar when this option is enabled in the Cluster properties.
(You will not be able to toggle it off from the ActiveX Display window.) |
