Instructions for Telnet Stream Capture
This site provides the tools and instructions necessary to capture a session data stream so that our designers here at Crystal Point can recreate your host application screens. These screens will be customized using the Studio tool of AppView, and installed to your private area on our web server. We will then send you a link to that page, and you will then be able to see for yourself the difference a graphical, intuitive interface can bring to your unchanged host application.
(Note: The data stream and any screen customizations shall not be made available to any other party without your permission.)
Steps:
1. Create the folder c:\proxy.
2. Download the file named 'proxy' to that folder.
3. Rename that file to proxy.exe.
4. From a DOS command prompt (Start/Run/CMD), change directory (cd) to c:\proxy.
5. Start the proxy using the command syntax:
proxy.exe -d <host IP> <host port> 2023 For example, to connect to a host with IP address 10.10.10.123 and port 99, the command line would be:
proxy.exe -d 10.10.10.123 99 2023 Or, if DNS is implemented you may use the host name. For example
proxy.exe -d myhost 99 2023 After the proxy is launched, any data on the loopback adapter's port (2023) is being recorded and forwarded to the host IP address and port.
6. After completing step 5 above, start an AppView session of the correct emulation type:
7. A terminal emulation session to your host will start.
8. Launch your host application and navigate to the 5 to 10 screens you want customized.
9. Terminate the session (File/Exit or click on the "X" in the control panel).
10. Terminate the proxy by typing Ctrl-c in the MS-DOS window.
11. Email the resulting *.tmp file (located in the c:\proxy folder) along with the host IP address (or DNS name), port number and emulation type (e.g., Tandem 6530) to our services group.
12. We will then customize your screens and email a URL that will allow you to test these screens with AppView
