  • Full Screen Mode – Can make the full screen available on your Pocket PC to make much more of your server application visible without scrolling. The full screen capability is completely controlled by the Aton Connect program. You don’t need to leave the program to switch between modes.
  • Status Line – The bottom status line emulates the status line of terminals, including communication connection status, etc.
  • Session Switching – It includes a menu to allow you to easily switch to a different Host session. Aton Connect supports a live server connection in the background while you are using the Windows Phone for other purposes. The server session can be brought back into view any time.
  • “Backbuffer” – stores the most recent 200 lines scrolled off the top of the text screen. Use your scroll bar to see your previous terminal interactions.
  • Fonts – You can select the font face and font size that displays on the screen.  Aton Connect includes a standard fixed pitch font face that is readable down to about 6 point size with your purchase. Many enterprises choose to license additional fonts for company use. Aton Connect for SSH, VT220, Telnet will automatically detect all fixed pitch font faces installed on your Windows Phone to allow you to select the one you want to display. Fonts are selected from a drop down box on the Display Options screen. A sample display window allows you to see your selection before proceeding.
  • Communications Connection Manager – works with the Windows Phone Connection Manager to select the best connection method available at a given time.
  • Adjusts on the Fly – Fonts can be adjusted “on the fly” even while a live terminal session is in progress. We have added keys to the soft keyboard to make switching modes very easy. Aton Connect works seamlessly with the Windows Phone system to allow messages and voice phone calls to pop up in front of the host session screen. Once you have finished the call or task, you can go back to the session still running in the background.

How It Works

Aton Connect for SSH, VT220, Telnet enables access to UNIX and Linux servers that  use Telnet Internet protocols.

It emulates the Telnet series of operator terminals used with UNIX and Linux servers.

Aton Connect is composed of a Telnet host access protocol engine (embodied as a .NET component). It connects to a Windows Mobile user interface that emulates the original monochrome screen. It can be used as downloaded to access servers in a way similar to the familiar desktop terminal emulators.

You will need a wireless or wire line TCP/IP connection such as: 802.11, IRDA, desktop cradle, GPRS, etc. Connection may be made via private LAN, VPN or Internet that supports standard Telnet protocol (usually port 23 but is configurable). It connects to a public or private  Telnet server attached to the host server. Aton Connect now supports SSH-2 and SSH-1. Aton Connect is also compatible with common VPN clients including SonicWall (Aventail) and Juniper Networks.
