Determining client device

Is there a way to determine if a user is using a Blackberry, Nokia, etc. inside the code? Since different handheld devices use different display methods, it would be nice to hide items if the user is on a blackberry, but show it if using PC or Mobile PC.
Thanks
Brian Timothy

Brian,
As far as I know (and for several months I've being working specifically with WD on hand-helds) there is no public API to access this information, neither in NW4 nor in NW04s

How to I determine the Device ID on Windows Moblile 5 and CreMe Java

Hi there,
I was wondering if there is an easy way to determine the Device ID (the number that shows up when you bring up the dmagent application).
I want to use this number as part of a unique barcode number (ie xxxx xxxx 0101 xxxx), but I am not sure how to go about finding it from the windows mobile client.
Is it stored in any of the tables within the oracle lite database, or is it reachable through the Java API?
Thanks,
Allen

sorry, replied to the wrong questioner:
Here is how to get the device-id (scrambled) from any language that can access the olite-dbs (I've used 'msql' as generic db-access)
on Win XP SP3. (should work similarly on other OSs)
access consroot:
msql system/manager@jdbc:polite:consroot
SQL> select * from c$user_list;
in the column “CLIENT” you can find the (main-) user name, e.g. "JOHN"
with this user name access conscli
msql system/manager@jdbc:polite:JOHN_conscli
SQL> select * from c$client_preferences;
in the column “APPS_ROOT”
you can will find something like "c:\mobileclient\oldb40\"
replace "oldb40" by "bin"
that's where you can find the "polite.ini" file
in the "polite.ini" look for the entry "DEVICE_ID"
you will find something like "DEVICE_ID=AJ9DMxxkfK8VwZjsL2ZMRg=="
this value should be unique
Maybe this value is somewhere in the conscli as well but I couldn't find it

How can i determine which devices are used at the moment?

Hi all,
I am designing an interface with LabVIEW for uing agilent devices. My work colleagues will use this interface. I want to determine which devices are used at the moment and if I determine used device, i will add automatically device names to interface's main vi. So all my work colleagues can see on the program which devices are used by another colleague. This devices are connected with GPIB. İ want to learn is there any function on Instrument I/O palette.
Thanks,
Omer

Hi Omer,
so those devices are connected to the PC with a GPIB connection. Will your collegues run several DAQ programs at the same time?
GPIB-devices being controlled by PC don't have a "in use"-signal. They wait for commands, execute them and send an answer. When you start to control them using two programs they may respond to both programs, mixing up settings/measurement values and so on.
That being said: In MAX you can see all devices connected to your GPIB port. You could scan the GPIB port using VISA commands in your program. You might even try to access a certain device by it's VISA alias. I really don't know if you will get a "device nopt available" error message when that VISA alias is in use by a different program - but you might do a quick test on your own…

How to determine client locale from the mail?

How to determine client locale(language/country) from the mail(header)?
I investigate that some mails have not got any content-language header...
Also, If mail is in multipart , I cannot get it throught the contentType....
e.g some header contain header like this: content-Type: "text/html; charset=Big5"
but some are : content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary......";
So, how can I know the client locale?
Thanks

You should be able to get the charset from the content type, as u said. the reason some types don't have a charset, such as multipart/* types, is because they don't contain any content on their own! they only contain nested body parts, each of which should have a charset specified. you're gonna have to get the charset by following the mail structure recursively.

WRT54G2: Searching For Client Device

After logging into the router's web interface, and trying to access the "wireless" settings screen, I get the following message:
Searching for your client device.
Please wait...
If you haven't clicked on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on your client device, please do so now.
Which then hangs when it's 99% completed.
I've posted a screen shot at
www.peeniewallie.com/2008/07/searching_for_your_client_device.html
(1) I set up this router several months ago, with two client devices. At the time, I did not get this message. Instead, I was able to access the web interface the way I always have with earlier Linksys routers.
(2) This happens if I access the router via wireless or Ethernet cable.
Any ideas on how I can get past this screen? The client devices are an iMac and MacBook Pro.

Hard reset the router for 2-3 minutes ..... once resetted ... power down the router for few seconds ... power up & reconfigure the router ...
See if it works or not ....

Possible to use wired 10/100 ethernet for client device?

I can't seem to find an answer to this question...
I have a Airport Express that I connect to my stereo for streamed music in my living room. It's connected to my existing wireless network (Linksys WRT54G, WPA on). Works great. Airport Express is not configured as a network extender, just connected to the existing network.
With this configuration (or any other configuration) is it possible to connect a client device (in this case my Tivo) to the wired ethernet port on the Airport Express and have it function? I currently have a wire pulled down my hallway to connect my Tivo, I'd love to get rid of that wire. And since my Airport Express sits right behind my entertainment center, it would be great if I could use it in this fashion.
Anyone know if this is possible? I guess the short version is, can I connect anything to the AE's 10/100 ethernet port and have it be a member of my network?

Well, I gave it a try. It's not quite working though. I get through the entire WDS setup with no problems. Configuration went fine. Yes, it has to be WEP, not WAP for setup with WDS.
It doesn't work though. The light on the Airport Express stays solid green, showing a valid connection. But I can't see my AE anymore, in iTunes or from the Airport Admin Utility.
In the Airport Admin utility, I did set the ethernet port to be active. When I connect the AE to the router via the 10/100 port, everything works fine. But it simply won't show up with just the wireless. Maybe you can either connect the AE to your network via Wireless WDS OR the ethernet port can be active, but not both?

HT1918 how do you determine what devices are set up under homesharing

Does anyone know how you determine what devices are set up under homesharing? I am not finding a list of devices under my account.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are no lists, you'll need to check each device.

How can I determine the device number from the task ID

I'm using 'Port Config' to initialize my DIO port for a NI-DAQ 6052E. Port Config returns a task id and it would be very useful if I could determine what device number I have based on the task id.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
It is not possible to determine the device number programmatically from the task id. This would be slightly redundant since you must supply a device number when you Port Config executes. You could simply create a local variable of the Device Number control that is connected to the Port Config.vi if you need to use the device number elsewhere in your VI. Simply right-click on the Device number control and select Create >> Local Variable. Then right click on the local variable and select change to read. This will allow you to read the value of the device number you provided anywhere in your VI.
If you would rather determine the actual device that is being used rather than the device number, yo
u can use the Get DAQ Device Info.vi. I have attached a simple example program that demonstrates how to use the VI.

Requesting location information from a client device (7921G)

Hey gents,
Can a client device such as the 7921G gather its own location? I think I remember a configuration example for location presence information on a client. But unfortunately I can't find the configuration guide anymore.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Many thanks,
Sebastian Jeuk

SCREEN LOCKED error "Searching for your client device. Please wait..."

This error is locking my routers configuration screen. "Searching for your client device. Please wait... If you haven't clicked on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on your client device, please do so now."
Is there a fix for this issue without restoring to the factory defaults?.
Your work around is not an option because restoring the factory defaults and reconfiguring the router manually is would be too time consuming in our small office and can afford the downtime. Is there a fix for this issue without restoring to the factory defaults? This problem has been crippling many of the Linksys routers for some time now; just search the error on goggle.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Power cycle the router. Unplug the power cord for 30 seconds and power it back on. If it still won't work, then you will have to reset and reconfigure the router. Please check the links below on how to reset the router and set it up for either cable or DSL:

Expression language to determine Mobile Device in spaces

Sr#-3-6785317771
Ver- PS5
Customer wanted to switch our navigation on webcenter spaces based on the device.
We tried to use the below EL, but it cannot differentiate between tablets and phones.
#{requestContext.agent.platformName
Eg: Android tablet and phone, both return the output as android.
We are looking for an EL, that can determine phone, tablets.
Customer just wanted to know to know the EL to determine the device.
Jsut like the one we sent you in the past,
#{requestContext.agent.platformName}
This tells us the device platform, but we are looking for Device recognition.
Any clue please?

Try with JSTL EL Expression directly:
<c:set var="browser" value="${header['User-Agent']}" scope="session"/>Regards.

Considering iPad as our client device from enterprise's perspective

Hi all,
We are working on the proposal to consider iPad as our client device (to access our server), which needs to develop our own application for iPad, and then install that application on the iPad & then sell our system (both client device & server) to the customer. Don't know whether the above solution is appropriate or not (from both legal & technical perspectives). And, don't know what technial support we can get from Apple company.
It should be great if you can help to connect to the right person in the Apple company and forwarding some related documents/process to me.
Thanks.

Stone

Time synchronization on client device

Is there any functionality in OLite 10g R2 which can maintain time synchronization on client devices (WM5 PPCs)? Obviously we could use some special application for such purpose, but it would probably need some user interaction, which we'd like to avoid...

Thanks for your post - I thought so :(
I already have one working solution, but I don't like it at all, because it's too complicated for such trivial task. I created new OTL command, which takes an application executable filename as parameter and launches it on the device (this OTL script also has to be present on the device). Than I created simple SNTP client application and published it on the mobile server for client devices. Now I can schedule a device command which launches this application to perform time synchronization with some time server on regular basis.

CSM client device config

Hi,
On CSM Client >device> Access rules is showing the old config and not showing the active running config. Where as tools>preview configuration show me the running config.
How do I make the csm client show the running config.
Thanks.

Raj;
When managing devices with CSM, it is expected that all configuration changes made to the device are made via CSM. Any changes made via PuTTY will not be reflected within CSM without first re-discovering the device's policies.
The screenshot does not indicate a specific error, only that policy objects alreadty present in CSM were re-used with this device. For the yellow triangle items, you will need to highlight each item and reference the matching description pane. But from the overall status, the discovery was completed successfully with three warnings.
Thanks,
Scott

Bind client device to specific platform

Is there any method how to force a device to register on mobile server as some specific platform?
To speak concretely - I have 2 WM5 PDAs on my desk. The first device (Symbol MC70) has XScale CPU, the other has ARMV4 CPU (Acer n300). I used the same installation cab for both devices (the cab for PPC2003 XScale), but each device registers itself to different platform in Oracle Lite Mobile Server (Oracle Lite PPC2003 ARMV4 versus Oracle Lite PPC2003 XScale). So I need to publish each application twice to be available for both devices even though both devices/platforms are fully compatible - this is very uncomfortable for application evolution...
I would be probably able to change the platform in the mobileadmin.dm$all_devices or something like this, but this would be no system-solution and could maybe cause some problems on client side (the platform is also stored on client device in polite.txt file afaik - "TYPE=WINCE_XScale_CS_OLITE_2003").

What you are deploying is a Client Settings policy, not the client itself. This is akin to a Group Policy Object being linked to an OU. The machines in the collection which already have the ConfigMgr client will process those policies, but additional non-client
machines added to the collection will not automatically install the client.
As Torsten indicated, you can deploy the client to these machines using the manual client push method. Simply right click on the clients themselves (or the collection) and select Install Client. If doing it at the collection level, I recommend
against selecting "Always install the client software" in the wizard as it will force an unnecessary repair of the existing ConfigMgr clients. I would recommend testing this on one machine in the collection in question before attempting to do them in bulk.
Note that this requires that a Client Push Installation account be configured (Administration > Site Configuration > Sites > Client Installation Settings > Client Push Installation > Accounts tab) which has admin rights on the clients.
You *DO NOT need to enabled site-wide client push installation* to be able to use the Install Client method in the console. Enabling this will force the client to attempt installation on ALL systems that ConfigMgr sees.
