Changes since the last version

The changes mentioned here describe differences between MT9750 V8.0 and V9.0.

New Functions in MT9750 V9.0A

• When installing V9.0A over preexisting version V8.0C, the user license updates to V9.0A automatically. It means that the user does not have to activate the new version manually.
• Improved user interface 
  • Existing sessions can be started by means of a macro. For this purpose, the option of a session start via macro file was introduced to the session properties.
  • Switching multiple sessions can be carried out using the key combination [Alt]+[<Number>]. (This key assignment was withdrawn with MT9750 V9.0B04.)
  • When changing the mapping of programmable keys by means of BS2000 programs (e.g. PLUS), the session saving dialog opens automatically. 
  • The contents can be easily copied and pasted using [CTRL]+[C] and [CTRL]+[V], as well as transferred between particular sessions.
  • Functional keys displayed on the application window (menu Settings > Toolbars) are assigned tooltips for mapping. The tooltips are shown by highlighting with the mouse.
  • Configuration of printers and print jobs was organized in a more clear and consistent way.
• Bypass printing is carried out “transparently”, which means that the print data from host and local (Windows) printers are of the same format.

After session closing, the saving dialog is opened automatically if there were any modifications of the session properties. It also takes place after setting up a new mapping of P keys by host applications.

New Functions in MT9750 V9.0B

• Secure / Encrypted connection to the BS2000 host, by using SSL/TLS. The open source TLS-proxy stunnel, which is supplied with TCP-IP-AP as part of interNet Services, must be set up on the BS2000 system. The setup and use of stunnel is described in the manual interNet Services Administrator Manual [5].
• Switching multiple sessions is re-mapped to [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[<Number>] to allow [Alt]+[<Number>] combination to be mapped to 9750 keys.

Functions no longer supported from MT9750 V9.0

• Assigning short names to a session is no longer supported.
  

• Host printers cannot be configured by means of MT9750 anymore. If host data is to be printed, it is output on the local printer by bypassing the screen.
