Predefined emulator clients
Several predefined emulator client HTML files are supplied with Host On-Demand. They are included to demonstrate the range of Host On-Demand client functionality and to serve as examples for creating customized HTML files in the Deployment Wizard. All of them use the Configuration server-based model. To load one of these clients, follow the instructions in Loading emulator clients.

In general, it is recommended that you define your own customized HTML files with the Deployment Wizard instead of using the predefined client HTML files. |
The following predefined emulator client HTML files are provided by Host On-Demand:
