What's new in WinFIOL 7.

Introduction

WinFIOL 7.0 introduces the following new functions:

File Hierarchy View

The File View window shows a hierarchy view of available channel, command and log files. If an
LDAP server is defined it can be seen in the Network folder. In the File View you can create
folders and organize your channels using drag and drop technique.

Easy to Create New Channels

The menu option Channel | New simplifies the creation of new channels by asking only for the
required information. More advanced settings can be set and changed after the channel has been
opened.

Copy Channels

The menu option Channel | Clone, or right-clicking in an already opened channel window and
select Clone in the pop-up menu, creates and opens an exact copy of the selected channel. This
makes it easy to quickly open another channel to the same target without the need to specify any
settings.

Transmit Progress Dialog

The transmit progress dialogs can now be docked together to form a single window, thus avoiding
screen clutter.

Supporting SEA Protocol

A new protocol driver SEA has been added to support communication to the Ericsson test
environment SEA.

Supporting CPP-based Targets

A new target driver CPP(NCLI) has been added to support CPP-based Ericsson servers. It
supports access to the NCLI command line interface.

Multiple User Support

WinFIOL can now be installed in a server environment and be used by multiple users. A separate
server license file is required.

change WinFIOL parameters that affect all users.
