How to: Configure ADCS Options

  • Artykuł

Before you can work with Automated Data Capture Systems (ADCS), you have to configure Microsoft Dynamics NAV by modifying the VT100Plugin configuration file.

Important

Modification of the configuration file should only be performed by a system administrator.

To modify and update the ADCS configuration file for the terminal listener

  1. Locate and open the NavisionVT100Plugin.exe.config configuration file. It is typically located in the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\71\Automated Data Capture System.

    The following example shows the XML that is contained in the configuration file by default.

    <configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="VT100" type="Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Adcs.Configuration.VT100ConfigurationSection, Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.VT100Plugin" />
</configSections>
<VT100>
<Warehouse>
<!-- Endpoint attributes are described in the table in step 3. -->
</Warehouse>
<Terminal /> 
<!-- Terminal attributes are described in the table in step 2. -->
</VT100>
</configuration>

  2. For the Terminal element, update the attributes in the configuration file using attributes as described in the following table. You specify the attribute values in quotation marks.

    Attribute Description

    listenIP

    Required. IP address that specifies where to listen for terminal connections.

    listenPort

    Required. Positive integer that specifies the port number to listen for terminal connections.

    stylesheet

    Required. Path to transformation style sheet, which transforms warehouse functions to terminal keycodes. Two style sheets are provided with the ADCS installation.

    screenLines

    Optional. Positive integer that specifies the number of screen lines. The default is 5.

    screenWidth

    Optional. Positive integer that specifies the screen width. The default is 30.

    codePage

    Optional. Positive integer that specifies the codepage. The default is the system codepage defined in HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP.

    terminalTimeout

    Optional. Positive integer that specifies the terminal time-out in milliseconds. The default is 65000 and cannot be fewer than 6000.

    debugDirectory

    Optional. Output directory for debug data.

  3. For the Endpoints element, update the attributes in the configuration file and modify an endpoint to support your processes. You can also add more endpoints. The following table provides some options.

    Attribute Description

    defaultType

    Optional. defaultType is an attribute of the Endpoints element. It specifies what type of endpoint to use when no type is specified, if you want to customize it. The default is the NavEndpoint type.

    name

    Required. Endpoint name. The name must be unique.

    url

    Required. Endpoint URL address.

    Hh167649.note(en-us,NAV.71).gifNote
    This attribute does not have to be included if the clientEndpointName attribute is specified.

    type

    Optional. Fully qualified name of a non-default endpoint.

    clientEndpointName

    Optional. Windows Communications Foundation client endpoint configuration name. If specified, a WCF configuration with the specified name must exist. For more information, see Client Configuration in the MSDN Library.

The following example describes the XML for a Terminal element and the Endpoints element. It adds one endpoint for Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="VT100" type="Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Adcs.Configuration.VT100ConfigurationSection, NavisionVT100Plugin" />
</configSections>
<VT100>
<Warehouse>
<Endpoints>
<add name="NavEndpoint" url="http://[local]:7047/DynamicsNav71/WS/CRONUS%20International%20Ltd/Codeunit/ADCS" />
</Endpoints>
</Warehouse>
<Terminal listenIP="127.0.0.1" listenPort="6666" stylesheet="VT100_W2k_and_OtherClients.xsl" />
</VT100>
</configuration>

Security

By default, the NavEndpoint uses the security settings that you have specified for web services generally. You can configure additional security by changing the configuration of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server and matching that configuration in the VT100Plugin configuration service.
