Hi List, we use a thin client (linux based) to access InfusionView mimics (via dedicated RemoteDesktop server, rdp protocol). This linux client is equipped with some RS232 ports used to read badges. In the past, when mimics were based on Solaris AW51, we were able to write each badge value (real type) to a C:B.P via this syntax: rsh -l "my user" "my DM station" /opt/fox/bin/tools/omset -i "my block" "my value" that uses any DisplayManager station to access CP block in r/w (yes, omset, but only one write per hour!) in windows environment rsh is not supported; omset still avail in Windows' RemoteDesktop servers. Any solution to write a C:B.P from a non I/A client? IMHO, a windows based thin client is less secure than a *nix one, but the problem to write to CP remains. Any ideas from I/A gurus or from customers familiar with this approach will be appreciated. Regards, Alessandro Ghiglione Senior Application Engineer Infineum Italia s.r.l.
