Citrix ICA client - notes for MC9090G install

Trying to start the ICA client, the internet explorer opens at address http:\localhost and shows the following text:

>>>>>>>
The Windows CE Web Server is enabled on this device.

This file is a placeholder and should be replaced. Please see your Platform Builder docs or our web site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceinet/htm/webserv.asp.

More information on the Windows CE is available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/ce.
<<<<<<<

What can I do to get to the main menu?


The solution is to disable the Windows CE Web Server.

In Win CE 4.1 You have to open a command prompt and then use services.exe to stop the service:

\> services stop htp0:

Where : is Shift Func R

Now the ICA client will start.

Some remap codes for MC9000 terminals, with Wavelink TE

9800:\4900
A000:\5100

This makes

Shift FUNC 6 = CTRL UPARROW
Shift FUNC 7 = CTRL DOWNARROW

And therefore they mimic the older Wavelink terminals.

The program exit key is 0029 which is ALT A
