![]() The traditional “telnet” protocol, while not as secure as “ssh” is also supported by INFONET-LX, and necessary for communications to our older line of SCO Unix servers. This factor has become increasingly more important as more and more remote, Internet based connections are put into use. Utilizing the “ssh” protocol, all communications between the INFOTERM(PC) and the INFONETICS Linux server are encrypted thus ensuring the safe transmission of keystrokes and data between the devices. Security in the form of encrypted communications is another dramatic advantage of the new INFONET-LX software suite. This significantly advances the flexibility of handheld uploading suiting a much wider number of scenarios. Uploading of Panasonic and/or Symbol handhelds thru the local serial ports on an INFOTERM(PC) is another new feature the enhanced INFONET-LX suite offers. This means that you can print your INFOPAGE invoices, rent bills and statements, including custom graphic forms/images, on inexpensive laser printers attached directly to your INFOTERM(PC) without deploying a full-blown print server. INFOPAGE imaging to compatible laser printers connected via a “local” connection is fully supported by INFONET-LX. However, it does dramatically extend the variety of ways that compatible printers can be connected to the INFOTERM(PC). Please note this does not guarantee that all models of printers will function correctly with INFONETICS software. While INFONET/TTP (TinyTERM) had been limited to traditional DOS serial and parallel ports, the new INFONET-LX (PuTTY) version supports those standard connections plus virtually any Windows Print Spooler port, including USB, WIFI, network and Infrared just to mention a few. This new version now supports a wider variety of physical connections for “local” printing. Three significant enhancements have been included that address the use of “local” ports on an INFOTERM(PC). ![]() ![]() Even a novice can be walked through the installation process, by simply clicking “next” and entering an appropriate Serial Number, in ten minutes or less. It comes bundled as a normal Windows “Install” file, which can be downloaded from sent via e-mail, or even copied to your INFONETICS server and shared to all PC’s via a diskette or the networked I: drive. INFONET-LX features a new, dramatically simpler installation procedure. The new software suite, based on an open software implementation of the terminal emulator known as “PuTTY”, by Simon Tatham, has been extensively rewritten and enhanced by INFONETICS’s own Greg Sidelinger. The new INFONET-LX suite brings the following enhancements to PC connectivity. ![]() A new version of the popular INFONET suite of PC to Unix networking software has been released by INFONETICS. ![]()
