Siri Integration

Thursday, December 27th, 2012

No TinyTERM ITX product currently uses Siri for text dictation. Siri is very good at interpreting natural language. However, a typical shell prompt does not accept standard text. Adding Siri support to TinyTERM will require the ability to parse commands along these lines:

ls -lR | grep .obj | more

Connect Button Fails After Editing Configuration

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012

In TinyTERM ITX 3270 for iPad, make a change to an existing session. It doesn’t matter what gets changed: color connection type, host IP address, etc. The Connect button fails after the change, doing nothing if touched.

You can hit Done, then connect from the main TinyTERM screen. You can also connect from the configuration screen if no changes were made. It’s only if changes are made that the button fails.

TinyTERM products for iPad and iPhone sometimes leave single off-color pixels on the screen in seemingly random places. These are actually pieces of individual characters that were not erased correctly.

Supported Hardware for iOS Devices

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

Century Software’s ITX product line for iPhone and iPad support most devices that provide user input options. They also support some wifi devices.

Keyboards

Any Bluetooth keyboard is supported in TinyTERM on both iPad and iPhone. Dock keyboards that physically plug into the iPhone or iPad data port are also supported.

Scanners

TinyTERM supports any scanner that acts as a keyboard wedge. These devices all use the Bluetooth HID profile.

In addition, TinyTERM Plus and TinyTERM Enterprise support a number of hardware scanning attachments. This includes support for magnetic stripes, and 1D and 2D optically-scanned codes. A full list is available in the online documentation.

Serial Devices

WiFi-to-serial adapters are fully supported by TinyTERM. These devices generally create either an IP address for the RS232 port, or an ad hoc wireless network used only for the port. TinyTERM can communicate with either variety.

Neither the iPad nor the iPhone supports the Bluetooth SSD profile. This means that Bluetooth serial adapters cannot be supported by TinyTERM. The iOS option just isn’t there.

Serial cable support is currently disallowed for new applications by Apple. As such, no direct serial cable is supported by TinyTERM.
