Bob:
This thread will be for common info on shortcuts and other tips for using ICE.TCP.PRO

Bob:
When making modifications to items in the host edit box (i.e. autoconnect), be sure to hit exit instead of the upper right corner x. Exit here means SAVE and EXIT. The x will leave without making changes.

Bob:
 Note: This pertains only to ICE.TCP Pro profiles, NOT to network or windows profiles.

The following lets you create one profile and distributes it to other computers so that everyone runs with the same profile configuration.

Here's how to use global profiles:

1. Run TelnetPro. Pull down menu item "Profiles" and Select "Organize Profile"

2. Create or edit the profile(s) to be made global.

3. Export them to a file or files with a "g_" prefix and a
".cfg" extension. (The profile name(s) inside do not necessarily match the file name.)

3. Copy the file(s) to the Pro program directory in every machine you want them to load. The program will load the user's profile first, then load the profiles from any "g_*.cfg" file in the program directory.

NOTE:
*-The program will siliently overwrite any user's profile whose name matches a global profile (including 'default' profile).-*

An administrator can deter users from modifying the global profiles by fiddling with the global file's properties (ie. read-only, hidden, permission flags, etc), or  by restricting the program directory.

Here is a way to print directly to a device in ICE.TCP Pro. It requires version 5.1.01 or newer.

Don't attempt this if you are not familar with the use of regedit!!

Underneath
Current User -> Software -> J. River -> ICE.TCP ->5.0
You need to create 2 new entries.

One is a DWORD called  DirectPrinterPort
Set the value of this to 1 to use direct printing (0 to use normal windows spooling).

The second is a string called    DirectPrinterPortName
Set the value of this to the name of the port you want to direct print to, usually  LPT1:

The next time you run TelnetPro the direct printing values will be used.

Bob:
The Licenses folder under the TCP5_USER share from the license admin machine MUST be writable to get a sequence number. See the 2,0 error message in the following message.

http://yabb.jriver.com/ice/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=12

To test to see if the license file is writable, from the client machine, BROWSE to the TCP5_USER share on the admin server and then into the Licenses folder. Right click on an empty space in that folder and do new -> folder. If that FAILS you don't have write permissions in that folder and will have to correct this before you can get a sequence number. This is a windows permissions issue, NOT an indication of a problem with ICE.TCP.

After you can verify that you can write to the Licenses folder from the client computer, BROWSE to the Configwizard program on the admin computer. It's under the TCP5_USER share in TCP4-32 for the classic version or TCP-Pro version for the 5.1 client. Double click on the appropriate Configwizard icon to get a sequence number.

If you still can't run ICE.TCP Pro or Classic after that you have a registry problem on the client machine, probably because of installing on the client WITHOUT administrator priviledges (don't forget to take domains into account if you are using a domain controller). See:
