5250 Terminal Error Codes

5250 Error Beep

The 5250 Terminal Emulator will (much like a standard Terminal or any particularly good emulator) generate a "beep" sound whenever a user attempts to an invalid input. There are a couple of important considerations that can prevent the "beep" sound effect from working.

The "beep" uses HTML5's <audio> tag, and therefore will not work on older browsers which do not support the <audio> tag (IE 8 or older, Safari 4.x or older, Chrome 17 or older, Firefox 10 or older)
Firefox versions that do support the <audio> tag (11 and higher) have still other considerations relevant to Wings:
- Sound does not play under the IIS development server (Cassini)
- Firefox does not support sound in the .mp3 format, but does support the Open Source, Vorbis .ogg format. However, by default, IIS is not not configured to use .ogg files. To adjust IIS to use .ogg files, see the instructions in MSDN's article on adding a MIME type, and use ".ogg" for the extension and "application/ogg" for the type.
