Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Callsign String This string can be a maximum of 10 characters long. All characters are either numbers or letters. The prefix “DE” (from) is added to the beginning of the transmitted call sign. RADIO PARAMETERS Sync Delay Important: This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting without a clear understanding of the timing of the radio protocol. Sync Delay specifies the delay between the time of the base station transmission and the first response window, measured in character times. The value assigned to this parameter must be compatible with other base stations and terminals in the system. The TRX7370 radio is available in either two level or four level modulation, providing baud rates of 4800 bps and 9600 bps, or 9600 bps and 19200 bps, respectively. The default setting for a two level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud, is 23. The default setting for a four level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 19200 baud, is 31. Remote Txon Remote Txon accommodates the turn on time of the radio in terminals (remotes). It specifies the number of fill characters sent to the radio before real data is output. Since this parameter is based on character times, the number is dependent on the radio link baud rate. 116 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters The value assigned to the Remote Txon parameter must be consistent across all terminals and base station equipment. The allowable value range is 3 to 60. Important: This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting without an understanding of the timing of the radio protocol. Active Channel This parameter determines the operating radio channel of the 9150. This makes the channel available for channel searching by the terminals. The channel selected must be one of those that have been configured with frequencies, as indicated on the TRX7370 Radio Card Parameters page. See page 110 for the list of associated channels and frequencies. 5.2.2.4 Connectivity Options: RRM Mode When you enter the Connectivity Options sub-menu for the 9150 set in RRM operating mode, the 9150 displays the RRM parameters. Port This parameter allows you to enter the port number of the 9150. The port number can range from 1024 to 32767. Important: The port number entered here must match the port number entered for this 9150 in the network controller’s RRM configuration. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 117 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Base Station Configuration Menu Options 5.3 Base Station Configuration Menu Options The 9150 Wireless Gateway can operate as a base station or remote radio module (RRM), facilitating the communications between terminals and wireless base stations and a network controller (Teklogix 9400 Network Controller or 9150 Wireless Gateway), using a range of host platforms. Alternatively, the network controller can be a host running a Teklogix SDK (handler). The 9150 can also act as a slave base station to a 9150 on the network. 5.3.1 Base Stations Base stations communicate over the radio link using Psion Teklogix proprietary protocols. They can optionally carry IP data over these protocols. Base stations can be connected to network controllers using TCP/IP over Ethernet networks. As a base station communicating with terminals through a radio link, the 9150 uses the Wireless LAN (Wlan) or Adaptive Polling/Contention RF protocols (see page 7 for details on the protocols). The 9150 controls the radio link’s operation and timing. Each base station uses a different radio channel, and terminals use cellular switching to roam between stations. The options and parameters on the following pages allow you to configure the 9150 as a master base station connected to up to 32 slave 9150 base stations over an Ethernet network. The master 9150 is connected to a 9400 Network Controller, or up to six hosts running TSDK (Teklogix Software Development Kit). From the Base Stations option under Base Station Configuration (see Figure 5.2 on page 101), entering “Configure” will open the “Configure New Base Station” page, which will enable you to add a new slave base station to the system or change the parameters on an existing slave base station. 118 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Base Stations Name The name entered in this parameter is used as an alternate way of identifying the IP address of a slave base station. IP Address This parameter provides the corresponding IP address for the slave base station. The IP Address must be a unique value so that each slave base station can be identified on the network. The acceptable value ranges from 0.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The default value for the IP port is 16100. Protocol IAC/EOR (TCP/IP) is the default protocol for the Ethernet connection. Message Size Message Size determines the largest single message that can be passed to a terminal. The range of this parameter is between 32 and 380 characters. (Longer messages are broken into several packets.) For polling protocol base stations, the upper limit is 116. Auto-Startup When this parameter is enabled ( √ ), the slave base stations will start polling when the master 9150 boots up. When Auto-Startup is disabled, the base stations will not start polling until they receive a start polling command from the host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 119 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups 5.3.2 RRM Groups While the 9150 can operate as a Remote Radio Module (RRM, see “Connectivity Options: RRM Mode” on page 117), it can also control other RRMs. For a 9150 to control RRMs, RRM groups must be configured. Once an RRM group has been defined, from one to four RRMs can be members of a group (see “RRM Group Menu” on page 126). All RRMs in a group operate on the same radio channel. The 9150 coordinates the transmissions of all the RRMs in a group (for this reason, the controlling 9150 is sometimes referred to as the “Timeplexing Master”). 5.3.2.1 Configure New RRM Group In this screen, shown on the next page, the user can set options for a new RRM group. Each RRM must be a member of an RRM group; there may be more than one RRM group configured in the 9150. An RRM group may contain from one to four RRMs. This screen is very similar to the one in “Connectivity Options: Base Station Mode” on page 112, the difference being that the parameters configured in those radio menus apply to the TRX7370 radio resident in the 9150, while the parameters configured here apply to the other, remote 9150s (the RRMs). 120 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Name This textbox allows the user to enter a name for the new RRM group. The value is any text string. The default is Unnamed RRM Group. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 121 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Communication Protocol This listbox allows you to select the protocol to be used for the connection to this RRM group. The default is the TCP/IP protocol. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( √ ) for the 9150 to function as an RRM group controller. If this option is disabled, the 9150 automatically goes into base station mode. Auto-Startup When this parameter is enabled ( √ ), the 9150 establishes communication with the RRMs in this RRM group when it boots, and starts polling automatically. When Auto-Startup is disabled, the 9150 establishes communication with the RRMs in this group when it boots, but does not start polling in this RRM group until a start polling command is received from the host. Polling starts if at least one of the RRMs in the RRM group is operating when the 9150 boots. Shared Channel If this parameter is enabled ( √ ), the 9150 checks for other traffic on the radio channel used by this RRM group, before polling. If this parameter is disabled, the 9150 assumes that it has exclusive use of the radio channel for this RRM group, and polls without checking for radio traffic. This parameter is required for systems installed in the Netherlands. POLLING PROTOCOL PARAMETERS Warning: 122 These parameters are pre-configured for your system, and should not be changed without a proper understanding of how they affect the radio link. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Number of Poll Windows This textbox allows the user to specify the number of poll windows in which the RRM listens for terminal responses after sending a poll. The allowable values range from 2 to 4. The default value is 3. Size of Poll Windows This textbox allows the user to specify the size of the poll windows in which the RRMs of this RRM group listen for terminal replies. The allowable values range from 5 to 32. The default value is 8. Maximum Message Segment Size This textbox allows the user to specify the size of the largest message segment, in bytes, that will be sent over the Teklogix radio network. Larger messages are broken into parts. The allowable values range from 32 to 116. The default value is 100. Number of Retries This textbox allows the user to specify the number of times the RRM retransmits a message to a terminal, after receiving no acknowledgement from the terminal, before it declares the terminal offline. The allowable values range from 1 to 7. The default value is 3. Collision Size This textbox allows the user to specify the smallest number of characters of noise received by the RRM, that will be interpreted as interfering transmissions from Teklogix equipment. When this threshold is exceeded, the RRM starts collision resolution. The allowable values range from 3 to 10. The default value is 6. Free Window Factor This textbox allows the user to specify the probability that the RRM will include a free window in its poll, during which any terminal may transmit. The allowable values range from 0 to 7. The default value is 0. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 123 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Message Mode Limit This textbox allows the user to specify the probability of including a message-mode poll in its poll transmission. The allowable values range from 3 to 7. The default value is 4. Callsign Period This textbox allows the user to specify the amount of time between transmissions of the callsign. This parameter is in minutes. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that no callsign is transmitted. The allowable values range from 0 to 60. The default value is 0. Callsign String This textbox allows the user to specify the text to be transmitted as the RRM’s callsign. The text is transmitted as Morse code. The default value is Teklogix. RADIO PARAMETERS Because some of the radio parameters are identical for a given group of timeplexed RRMs, they may be configured by the user once on the 9150; the 9150 then passes them to the RRMs in the group. These parameters include the synchronization delay (Sync Delay), the remote transmit on-time (Remote Txon), and the channel number to be used (Active Channel). Although the TRX7370 narrow band radio in each RRM in the group is configured separately, the 9150 assumes they will be configured identically. To ensure this, the 9150 looks at certain parameters returned by each of the RRMs. These parameters include the radio baud rate and the transmit-on time. These parameters are compared against the values returned by other RRMs within the same group. Error messages are displayed should these values not match, but the worst case value is chosen for use. Warning: These parameters are pre-configured for your system, and should not be changed without a proper understanding of how they affect the radio link. Sync Delay This textbox allows the user to specify the number of delay characters inserted between the RRM’s transmission and the first response window. The allowable values range from 3 to 45. The default value is 28. 124 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Remote Txon This textbox allows the user to specify the number of fill characters sent by the terminal radios before the terminals send message data. The allowable values range from 3 to 32. The default value is 13. Active Channel This textbox allows the user to specify the radio channel to be used by all the RRMs in the RRM group. The allowable values range from 1 to 20. The default value is 1. GROUP PARAMETERS Combination These textboxes allow the user to specify RRM subgroups called combinations. If the coverage areas of two or more of the RRMs in this RRM group do not overlap, the non-overlapping RRMs may poll at the same time. This improves system response time and reduces the amount of signalling on the network. As an example, if the RRM group has 3 RRMs, and RRMs 1 and 3 don't overlap, RRMs 1 and 3 may be placed in one subgroup (Combination 1). They will then poll simultaneously. RRM 2 may be placed in another subgroup (Combination 2). Polling alternates between the two subgroups. To configure a combination, place the numbers of the RRMs in the textbox for that combination. The numbers correspond to the numbers of the RRMs named in the RRM list on the RRM Group Menu (see page 126). For instance, “13” in the textbox for Combination 1 places RRMs 1 and 3 in that subgroup. Note: When configuring RRM combinations, make sure the configured RRMs are sequential, and are not missing numbers, which can happen when RRMs are deleted and added. The combinations use the RRMs in the order that they appear in the list, not how they are numbered in the list. RRMs that are not assigned to combinations poll individually, after the combinations poll. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 125 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups 5.3.2.2 RRM Group Menu When the user chooses an existing RRM group from the RRM Groups listbox in the Configuration Main Menu page, pressing the Configure button displays the RRM Group Menu. The RRM Group Menu has two sub-menus: General Options When the user presses this Configure button, the 9150 displays the Configure Existing RRM Group screen. RRMs When the user selects the name of an existing RRM from the listbox, then presses this Configure button, the 9150 displays the RRM Options screen for that RRM. There is also a selection in the listbox, Create New, for adding a new RRM. The RRM Group Menu also has a Main Menu button to return to the Configuration Main Menu page. 126 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups GENERAL OPTIONS: CONFIGURE RRM GROUP In this screen, the user can select general options for this RRM group. The options in this screen are the same as the options in the Configure New RRM Group screen (see page 120). The Delete button at the bottom of the screen allows you to delete the currently-displayed RRM Group from the RRM Groups list. When choosing to delete an RRM Group, you will be prompted for confirmation of the deletion, which will give you the opportunity to cancel the action. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 127 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Radio Link Features 5.3.3 Radio Link Features From the Radio Link Features option under Base Station Configuration (see Figure 5.2 on page 101), entering “Configure” will open the “Radio Link Features” page for the polling and cellular parameters. Operate in Cellular Mode To operate as a Wlan base station, this parameter should be enabled ( √ ). For further information see “Wlan Protocol” on page 11. Note: The 9400 Network Controller must also be set to cellular mode. Automatic Radio Address Assignment Range Each Teklogix terminal using the radio link has a unique radio address number, which can be assigned automatically by the 9150 by enabling this parameter. Currently this feature is only supported through the 802.IQ protocol (for information on 802.IQ configuration, see pages 64 and 192). To enable this parameter, the values for the first and last radio address numbers must lie between 1 and 3840. The default values for the range are 1024 ... 2084. To disable the parameter, set the values to 0. Notes: When enabling this parameter: 1. Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm must be disabled (see page 130). 2. The Auto ID parameter in the terminal must be enabled in order for the radio address to be automatically assigned. 128 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Radio Link Features 3. Do not enable Auto Startup (see page 65) on any of the 9150 base stations running 802.IQ with sessions using Automatic Radio Address Assignment Range and Automatic Terminal Number Assignment Range. Automatic Terminal Number Assignment Range A terminal number is assigned for every TESS and ANSI application session created in a terminal. This number defines the terminal number for each session and uniquely identifies all transmissions to and from that session. To enable this parameter, the values for the first and last terminal numbers must lie between 1 and 3840. The default values for the range are 0 ... 0. To disable the parameter, set the values to default. Notes: When enabling this parameter: 1. Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm must be disabled (see page 130). 2. The Auto Session parameter in the terminal must be enabled in order for the terminal session number to be automatically assigned. 3. Do not enable Auto Startup (see page 65) on any of the 9150 base stations running 802.IQ with sessions using Automatic Radio Address Assignment Range and Automatic Terminal Number Assignment Range. Poll ID In Wlan protocol, this is a unique identifying number set only in a 9150 master base station, 9150 mini-controller or a network controller, which is used in the poll header when polling terminals. Poll ID is set by Psion Teklogix personnel. In Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol for narrow band radios, Poll ID is used to assign a unique address to each base station. As the terminals move from one base station to another, this address is transmitted by the base stations to the terminals, identifying each 9150 in a multiple base station system. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 129 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Radio Link Features Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout This parameter determines the time in minutes that a terminal can be inactive before the 9150 declares it offline. Before this happens, the terminal will be declared offline by the Percent Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout parameter (see below). After the terminal is removed from the system, it will need to re-initialize in order to communicate with the 9150. This parameter reduces the overhead on the radio link caused when terminals which are not communicating are supported. The allowable values range from 1 to 240. Note: This parameter is not relevant for Wlan. Percent Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout This parameter determines the time that a terminal is allowed to be inactive before the 9150 declares it offline. This time is expressed as a percentage of the Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout parameter (see above). For example, if the Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout is 60, and this parameter is set to 75%, then the timeout would be 60 min x 75% = 45 minutes. An offline terminal is still considered part of the system. Messages to offline terminals are queued at the 9150. The terminal remains offline until it transmits an online message. Values for this parameter range from 50 to 90. Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm Enabling this parameter allows the TekTerm program resident in Teklogix terminals to connect directly to the 9150, when it is acting as a base station to a host via TCP/IP. 130 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Hosts Menu 5.4 Hosts Menu When the 9150 acts as a base station, it must communicate with a “host” - a 9400 Network Controller, or a host computer using a Teklogix Software Development Kit (TSDK). The drop-down menu in the Mini-Controller Configuration: Hosts option in the Configuration Main Menu page shows the host names present on the system. Up to six hosts can be supported. A “host” must be configured for each master network controller, TSDK host, or master base station that communicates with the 9150. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 131 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Hosts Menu Opening the “Configure” dialog box for a selected host lists the parameters that can be modified or deleted for that host. New hosts can be added by selecting “[#] Create New” in the drop-down menu before entering the “Configure” dialog box. Name This parameter indicates the assigned host name. The host name also appears on the RF terminal when switching between hosts in a multiple-host environment. Note: The name must not contain space characters. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( √ ) for terminals to communicate with this host. Emulation and Protocol This drop-down menu provides a list of host emulations and communication protocols supported by the 9150. Protocols are the methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various physical media such as Ethernet and radio-link connections. 132 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Hosts Menu The supported emulations with their respective protocols are: • 9010/ TCP/IP (See page 135 for configuration parameters). • 3274/Telnet (See pages 149 to 164 for Configuration Parameters). • 5250/Telnet (See pages 165 to 179 for Configuration Parameters). • ANSI/Telnet (See pages 180 to 190 for Configuration Parameters). • RF Modem (See page 191 for Configuration Parameters). When the 9150 functions as a base station, it communicates with a 9010/ TCP/IP host. The 9010 protocol is a proprietary asynchronous protocol developed by Psion Teklogix which uses TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) or ANSI data streams to communicate with terminals. For detailed information, please refer to the appropriate Teklogix User Manual for: 9400 Network Controller, TSDK, TESS or ANSI. However, when the 9150 acts as a mini-controller, it uses the 3274 and 5250 emulation protocols to communicate with IBM hosts, or the ANSI emulation protocol to communicate with ANSI hosts. For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a mini-controller, please refer to Chapter 6: “Mini-Controller Configuration”. Terminal Range The values entered in this parameter designate the first and last terminals in the range of terminals that will communicate with the host. These terminal numbers are mapped to this particular host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 133 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Host Menu Options 5.5 Host Menu Options When you choose an existing host from the Hosts listbox and then select the Configure button, the 9150 displays the Host Menu. Figure 5.5 Overview Of Host Menus For 9010 / TCP/IP 134 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration 9010 / TCP/IP The Host Menu has four configuration sub-menus: “General Host Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the General Options page for the host. “Emulation Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Emulation Options page for the host. This page may vary depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected for the host. “Protocol Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Protocol Options page for the host. This page may vary depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected for the host. “Function Key Mappings” (3274, 5250, ANSI emulations only) When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Function Key Mapping page for the host. This page may vary depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected for the host. There is also a Main Menu button. When you select this button, the 9150 displays the Configuration Main Menu (see page 101). 5.5.1 9010 / TCP/IP For an overview of Host menus for 9010/TCP/IP, refer to Figure 5.5 on page 134. 5.5.1.1 General Host Options In this screen, you can select general options for the host connection. The host connection may also be deleted. When choosing to delete a host from the Hosts list, you will be prompted for confirmation of the deletion, which will give you the opportunity to cancel the action. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 135 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration 9010 / TCP/IP Name This parameter allows you to enter a name for the new host. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( √ ) for terminals to communicate with this host. Emulation and Protocol This parameter allows you to select the emulation and protocol to be used for the connection to this host. For a network connection, use 9010/ TCP/IP. Terminal Range This parameter allows you to specify the range of terminals which will communicate with this host. The left-hand textbox contains the lowest terminal number which is allowed to communicate with the host; the right-hand textbox contains the highest terminal number. Terminal numbers may range from 1 to 3840. 5.5.1.2 Emulation Options Refrain from sending On-line & Off-line messages If this parameter is enabled ( √ ), the 9150 base station does not notify the host if the status of a terminal changes between offline and online. If this parameter is disabled, the 9150 does notify the host regarding any terminal status changes. The default for this parameter is disabled. 136 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration 9010 / TCP/IP 5.5.1.3 Protocol Options 9010/Telnet Options: Monitor Polls Hosts usually send messages or null polls to the 9150 within a period of approximately 40 seconds. If the parameter is enabled ( √ ), the 9150 base station monitors messages and polls from this host; if it does not receive a message or poll within 40 seconds, it closes the connection. The default for this parameter is disabled. 5.5.1.4 Function Key Mappings These parameters are not applicable to the 9010 / TCP/IP emulation.

One of these tasks is emulation: the translation of data between the protocol of the host computer and the protocol used by Teklogix terminals. The data which is sent from a host computer to a terminal to provide its display, and returned to the host as a result of operations at the terminal, is called a data stream. Host computers can provide data streams of various types to their terminals. Teklogix terminals can directly accept only two types of data stream: TESS and ANSI. TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) is the proprietary data stream used by Teklogix terminals. ANSI data streams are a standard type of data stream used by wired ANSI terminals. Other types of data stream provided by the host must be converted into TESS or ANSI before Teklogix terminals can work with them. This translation is done by emulation software in a network controller. The 9150 is equipped with emulation capabilities, allowing it to act as a minicontroller. When a 9150 is configured as a mini-controller, Teklogix terminals can emulate an ANSI, 5250 or 3274 terminal via a 9150 rather than through a 9400 Network Controller. Using the RF Modem/Telnet emulation, the 9150 can also communicate with a Teklogix 6040 RF Modem. Important: 9150s acting as mini-controllers are designed for small, lowtransaction sites. A 9400 Network Controller is required for systems that support more than 50 terminals. Acting as a mini-controller, the 9150 can support up to 32 additional networked base stations and up to 50 terminals. A 9150 mini-controller can also manage wireless LAN configurations. A 9150 configured as a mini-controller can support the following emulations: • 5250 emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN. • 3274 emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN. • ANSI emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN. • RF Modem emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN. Note: The 9150 main parameters should first be set up as described in Chapter 3: “9150 Main Configuration”. The 9150 can also be integrated into a mapRF system, using 802.IQv2 protocol (for details, please refer to the “802.IQ V2 Features Menu” on page192).

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 143 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Hosts Menu 6.3 Hosts Menu The drop-down menu in this option shows the host names present on the system. Up to six hosts can be supported. A “host” must be configured for each host that communicates with the 9150 mini-controller. Opening the Configure dialog box for a selected host lists the parameters that can be modified or deleted for that host. New hosts can be added by selecting “[#] Create New” in the drop-down menu before entering the Configure dialog box. Name This parameter indicates the assigned host name. The host name also appears on the RF terminal when switching between hosts in a multiple-host environment. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( √ ) for terminals to communicate with this host. 144 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Hosts Menu Emulation and Protocol This drop-down menu provides a list of host emulations and communication protocols supported by the 9150. Working with Teklogix terminals and base stations, the 9150 can emulate IBM 3278-2, 5251-11, and 5555-B01 terminals, as well as ANSI terminals and RF Modems. Protocols are the methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various media such as Ethernet and radio-link connections. The 9150 supports the TCP/IP protocol. The supported emulations with their respective protocols are: • • • • • 9010/ TCP/IP (See page 149 for Configuration Parameters). 3274/Telnet (See pages 149 to 164 for Configuration Parameters). 5250/Telnet (See pages 165 to 179 for Configuration Parameters). ANSI/Telnet (See pages 180 to 190 for Configuration Parameters). RF Modem/Telnet (See page 191 for Configuration Parameters). When the 9150 acts as a base station, it uses the 9010 emulation (a proprietary asynchronous protocol developed by Psion Teklogix) to communicate with a 9400 Network Controller or a host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit (TSDK). For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a base station, please refer to Chapter 5: “Base Station Configuration”. When the 9150 acts as a mini-controller, it uses the 3274 and 5250 emulation protocols to communicate with IBM hosts, or the ANSI emulation protocol to communicate with ANSI terminals. To communicate with a Teklogix 6040 RF Modem, the 9150 uses the RF Modem/Telnet emulation protocol. Terminal Range The values entered in this parameter designate the first and last terminals in the range of terminals that will communicate with the host. These terminal numbers are mapped to this particular host. Terminal numbers may range from 1 to 50. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 145 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Host Menu Options 6.4 Host Menu Options When you choose an existing host name from the Hosts listbox and then select the Configure button, the 9150 displays the Host Menu. The Host Menu presents the options for four sub-menus: General Host Options, Emulation Options, Protocol Options, and Function Key Mappings. There is also a Main Menu button. When you select this button, the 9150 displays the Configuration Main Menu page (see page 143 for an enlarged illustration). Figure 6.2 Overview Of Host Menu and Sub-Menus 146 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Host Menu Options As illustrated in Figure 6.2 on page 146, the four configuration sub-menus display the following options: “General Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the General Options page for the host. “Emulation Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Emulation Options page for the host. This page may vary depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected for the host. “Protocol Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Protocol Options page for the host. This page may vary depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected for the host. “Function Key Mappings” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Function Key Mappings page for the host. This page may vary depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected for the host. Note: The Function Key Mappings parameters are not applicable to either of the 9010 emulations. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 147 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration General Options 6.4.1 General Options In this screen, you can select general options for the host connection. The host connection may also be deleted (see “Delete” on page 149). Name This parameter allows you to enter a name for the new host. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( √ ) for terminals to communicate with this host. Emulation and Protocol This parameter allows you to select the emulation and protocol to be used for the connection to this host. Available combinations of emulation and protocol are: 3274/Telnet, 5250/Telnet, ANSI/Telnet, RF Modem/Telnet. Terminal Range This parameter allows you to specify the range of terminals which will communicate with this host. The left-hand textbox contains the lowest terminal number which is allowed to communicate with the host; the right-hand textbox contains the highest terminal number. Terminal numbers may range from 1 to 50. 148 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 9010 Emulations Delete When choosing to delete a host from the Hosts list, you will be prompted for confirmation of the deletion, which will give you the opportunity to cancel the action. 6.4.2 9010 Emulations When the 9150 acts as a base station, it uses the 9010 protocol (a proprietary asynchronous protocol developed by Psion Teklogix) to communicate with a 9400 Network Controller, or a host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit (TSDK). For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a base station, please refer to Chapter 5: “Base Station Configuration”. 6.4.3 3274/Telnet 6.4.3.1 Emulation Options When in the Host Menu for a 3274/Telnet host, selecting the Configure button for the Emulation Options page will open the 9150 mini-controller’s 3274/Telnet version of that page. With IBM 3274, or IBM 5250 emulation, the 9150 mini-controller converts the application data stream from the host to TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) commands. Some of the parameters in this page govern the conversion of the host screens to TESS. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 149 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet 150 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Is Host Fujitsu If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller expects the data from the host to contain commands, etc., native to a Fujitsu host. Enabling this parameter causes the standard IBM formatting codes (for start of field, setting buffers, etc.) to be replaced by the codes used by Fujitsu host computers. Use International EBCDIC If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller uses the International EBCDIC character set, swapping the positions of the ! and ] characters. Alarm When this parameter is enabled, terminals beep when the word “ALARM” appears on the application screen in the location specified by the Command Region parameter (see page 160). The word “ALARM” should be a display-only field. Note: The Command Region parameter must be enabled for this parameter to work. Clear If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller creates an empty entry field for an entry field that is filled with spaces. Some host applications rely on the video attributes of displayed characters to highlight fields, particularly entry fields. For example, the application screen may define all entry fields with reverse video and fill the field with spaces. This is effective on terminals that support reverse video, but on terminals that do not, it can make the field invisible since it is made up entirely of spaces. By default, all empty entry fields displayed at the Teklogix terminal are highlighted by the “entry character” chosen in the terminal’s configuration (not all Teklogix terminals support video attributes). Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data sent to the host remains unaffected. Passthru If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to send data directly to the RF terminal’s serial port. This is most commonly used for printing. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 151 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through On the screen to be sent through the terminal serial port, the word PASSTHRU (in capital letters) must appear on the first line, starting on the second column. The actual data to be sent to the terminal may start anywhere below the first line. With 5250 or 3274 emulations, attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word “PASSTHRU” will ‘push’ all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required attributes should occupy column 1 of the first line (just preceding the word “PASSTHRU”). Example: column: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 line 1: @ P A S S T H R U @ line 2: @ P A R T : 1 2 3 4 5 where @ is an attribute. When the 9150 is finished sending the data to the terminal’s printer, it will send an ENTER key to the host. The host must wait for the ENTER key before sending any more screens (including other PASSTHRU screens) to this terminal. Note: Refer to the Terminals User Manual for information about setting parameters on the terminal for pass-through. Procedures If this parameter is enabled, the host may send TESS procedures through the 9150 to the terminals. A TESS procedure is a group of TESS commands that can be executed by the TESS execute procedure command. Local If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to provide pages to be loaded as local TESS procedures in the terminals. The local procedures are selected from a menu at the terminal. The terminals can perform these procedures when they are offline. Later when the terminals are online, they send the results of these functions to the host. 152 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Note: The Procedures parameter must also be enabled for Local to work. Host Print When this parameter is enabled, the host can send extra data to the terminal’s screens, and instruct the terminal to print it. This is in contrast to the Local Print feature, where the terminal makes the initial print request. The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into the 24 x 80 application screen. If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The 9150 identifies the additional text as a print page by the presence of the word “PRINT” (in capital letters) beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. The word “PRINT” should be defined as display-only text. The print page is positioned below the terminal’s display page (see the following figure). The size of the print page is always the same as the terminal’s display page (assuming that in the terminal’s configuration, the page length is less than 12 lines). When Host Print is enabled, the 9150 passes the print page to the terminal after receiving the application screen from the host. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Display Page (8 x 40) PRINT Print Page (8 x 40) Figure 6.3 Application Screen With Print Page Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 153 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Notes: 1. Unlike the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer. 2. Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal in its Printer command under the TESS Features menu; refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information. Remote Print When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the print page to a terminal whenever the terminal requests it (by sending the “F17” function key from the terminal, or the “PRINT” key on older terminals). The 9150 sends the function response back to the host. This is in contrast to Host Print, where the host makes the initial print request. Note: Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal. Refer to the Terminals User Manual or the Parameter Guide for more information. Pages This parameter determines the number of host screens (or pages) stored at the terminal, to a maximum of 16. The 9150 reduces data transmitted to the terminals by using the terminal’s capability to store a page of data for each screen it displays. The 9150 maintains an image of each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries to match the screen with a stored page. If a similar page is already in the terminal’s memory, the 9150 instructs the terminal to redisplay its copy of the page; only the necessary changes are sent from the controller. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the terminal over the radio link. Note: 154 There is a corresponding parameter on the terminal itself, and the actual number of saved pages will be the smaller of the two values. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Transmit Line When this feature is enabled, all modified data at the terminal is automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into a transmit-upon-entry field. The value in this textbox specifies the line on the screen which is designated the transmit line. The last entry field above or on the transmit line on the screen will be identified as the transmit-upon-entry field. If any entry fields exist on lines below the transmit line, no entry field will be designated as the transmit-upon-entry field. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. A value of 24 designates the last entry field on each application screen as transmit-upon-entry. AIAG This parameter provides auto-locate and fill for input coming from bar code readers. When bar code data is entered at a terminal, the terminal searches for “AIAG” fields on the current page that can accept the bar code data. The data preloaded into the “AIAG” field by the application program determines whether or not the bar code data is accepted. At the 9150 mini-controller, a decimal value of an ASCII character from 0 to 127 is set to match the “AIAG Field Identifier” set at the host. A value of 0 disables this feature. The format of the preloaded data is as follows:The mode character used with the command allows for different operating modes to suit various application operations. The automatic locate and fill operation applies only to data received from a bar code reader. Descriptions of the modes and AIAG prefix are listed in Table 6.1 on page 156. These modes are set at the host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 155 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Mode +4 +8 +16 AIAG Prefix (data) Function Display prefix, send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, send prefix to host. Display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Add 4 to above values to cause transmit to host when all AIAG fields with 4 set are filled. Function 0 is “pressed” if there are any fields with this bit set, and all fields with this bit set have been filled by operator input. Add 8 to above values to allow overwrite of previously entered data. Add 16 to above values to indicate cursor position priority for search and fill. The text to be matched in the AIAG field. Table 6.1 Mode Functions And AIAG Prefix Description Example: The information in the sample screen below is defined at and sent from the host. It includes the “AIAG Identifier” – the tag identifying this as an AIAG field – followed by the mode, in this case Mode 0, and finally, the “AIAG Prefix” – I. AIAG Information From Host AIAG Field Identifier AIAG Prefix (data) Item No. @ 0I Mode Figure 6.4 AIAG Field Sent From The Host 156 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When the information arrives at the terminal screen, the appropriate AIAG field for the scanned information is located using the “AIAG Identifier”. Because Mode 0 was set at the host, the “AIAG Prefix” – I – is displayed on the terminal screen, and when this screen is completed, the prefix will be sent back to the host. AIAG Information From Host To Terminal Screen AIAG Field Identifier Item No. @ I AIAG Prefix (data) Figure 6.5 AIAG Field Sent To The Terminal Visible Match Character By inserting a special ASCII character directly before an entry field, the application program distinguishes a “match field” from an entry field. For example, suppose an angle bracket “>” is defined for visible match fields. Inserting “>” immediately preceding the entry field identifies it as a match field, as illustrated below. Part #> ___________ The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. To use the Visible Match feature, the host computer preloads data into a match entry field; the data is visible on the terminal screen. The preloaded data sent to a terminal can consist of exact characters, special match characters or a combination of the two. Refer to Table 6.2 on page 158 for match characters recognized by Teklogix terminals. If an entry does not match the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the terminal beeps, and the cursor moves to the first position in the match field. The operator can either make another entry in the match field, or move the cursor to a new field. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 157 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When an entry (even one that doesn’t match the preloaded data) is made in a match field, the entry is sent to the host as part of the terminal’s modified data during the next transmission. Character Description Match a number. Match a letter (either case). Match an uppercase letter. Match a lowercase letter. Match an alphanumeric character. Match a letter, number or space. Match a punctuation character. Match any character. Match all character positions in the field with the preceding character. Match any remaining characters, but not necessarily the remainder of the field, with the preceding character. Table 6.2 Match Characters Example: Suppose you want to preload an entry field with a part number. If the part number is known, you can preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is needed, and the part number always begins with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen and four digits, the match string for the field would be: &&–#### . Hidden Match Character Unlike data in a “visible match” field, the preloaded data in a “hidden match” field is not displayed at the terminal. Note: Refer to “Visible Match Character” on page 157 for detailed information about field matching. The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. 158 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Serial I/O Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by preceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field, the data will be sent to the terminal’s serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the terminal’s serial port. The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Print Line This parameter allows you to enter the starting line number of the print page in the application screen. A value of 1 causes the display page to be printed; a value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Print Form Length This parameter sets the printer’s form length in lines. The range is 0 to 24. Barcode Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a bar code reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-inputonly by preceding the field with a special character. The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Entry Line This parameter contains the number of the first line displayed if there is no entry field in the upper-left portion of the screen, and if an entry field is at or below this line. The Entry Line parameter allows an automatic offset within the host screen, so that the area displayed by the terminal includes an entry field that would normally be out of bounds. Normally, Teklogix terminals only display the upper-left corner of the application screen because of their smaller display size. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 159 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Field Overhead This parameter contains the maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the 9150 to join them into one field. Sometimes the 9150 will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link. For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was ‘5’, then these fields would be joined into one. Command Region This parameter defines a region of the host screen which the 9150 will examine for the presence of reserved commands. The four numbers in the Command Region textboxes represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. The first textbox of each pair contains the row number; the second contains the column number. The range of row values is 0 to 24; column values are 0 to 80. To define the last two lines of the host screen as the command region, for example, enter the values 23, 1 and 24, 80. Currently, the only command supported is ALARM (refer to page 151 for details on this command). When the word “ALARM” is placed anywhere within the command region, the 9150 will send a TESS beep command to the terminal. 160 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet 6.4.3.2 Protocol Options This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page (see page 148). The 9150 displays this version of the Protocol Options page when you select the emulation/protocol combination of 3274/Telnet for this host. Terminal Type This parameter allows you to choose the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150 for this host. At present there is only one choice of terminal for 3274/Telnet: the IBM 3278-2. Host Port This parameter allows you to enter a host port value for the selected 3274/Telnet host connection. The default value is 23. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 161 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4. First Local Terminal Port This parameter contains the local port number from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. The default value is 0. Local IP Address to Bind This parameter contains the IP address of the network adaptor in the 9150 from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 0. The default value is 0 (disabled). Actively Negotiate with Host If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 starts negotiations with the host during setup of the telnet connection. Not recommended for most hosts. Send IAC Interrupt Process as a System Request If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the IAC Interrupt Process request to the host as a 3274 System Request. Send IAC Break as an Attention Key If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the IAC Break request to the host as a 3274 Attention key. Auto-telnet This parameter enables you to disable or enable automatic connection of telnet sessions from terminals to this host. The choices provided are: Disable and Auto-telnet. The default value is Disable. 162 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each terminal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 will automatically telnet to the host, both on startup and when the session is closed. Note: Auto-telnet sessions are only initiated for terminals which are “online” (turned on and operating properly on the Teklogix RF network). Auto-telnet Host This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150 connects Auto-telnet sessions. Note: A host name placed in this textbox must be “resolvable” by the 9150: the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host name may correspond to an entry in the 9150’s host table, or the 9150 may be able to query a domain-name server. Any host name which can be used at the terminal’s TCP> prompt may be used here. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 163 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet 6.4.3.3 Function Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Function Key Mapping page when you select 3274 emulation for this host. Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal. Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on this page. 164 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet 6.4.4 5250/Telnet 6.4.4.1 Emulation Options Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 165 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the 5250/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. With IBM 5250, or IBM 3274 emulation, the 9150 mini-controller converts the application data stream from the host to TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) commands. Some of the parameters in this page govern the conversion of the host screens to TESS. Write Error Code If advisory text is selected here, the 9150 sends error codes to the terminal screen as advisory text, which is written at the bottom of the screen. If screen text is chosen, the 9150 sends the error codes as regular screen text. Use International EBCDIC If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 will swap the positions of the ! and ] characters in the EBCDIC character table. Alarm If this parameter is enabled, terminals will beep when the word “ALARM” (in capital letters) appears on the application screen, in the location specified by the Command Region parameter (see page 175). The word “ALARM” should be a display-only field. Note: The Command Region parameter must be enabled for this parameter to work. Clear If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller creates an empty entry field for an entry field that is filled with spaces. Some host applications rely on the video attributes of displayed characters to highlight fields, particularly entry fields. For example, the application screen may define all entry fields with reverse video and fill the field with spaces. This is effective on terminals that support reverse video, but on terminals that do not, it can make the field invisible since it is made up entirely of spaces. 166 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet By default, all empty entry fields displayed at the Teklogix terminal are highlighted by the “entry character” chosen in the terminal’s configuration (not all Teklogix terminals support video attributes). The Clear feature creates an empty entry field in place of an entry field filled with spaces. Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data sent to the host remains unaffected. Passthru If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to send data directly to the RF terminal’s serial port. This is most commonly used for printing. Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through On the screen to be sent through the terminal serial port, the word “PASSTHRU” (in capital letters) must appear on the first line, starting on the second column. The actual data to be sent to the terminal may start anywhere below the first line. With 5250 or 3274 emulations, attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word “PASSTHRU” will push all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required attributes should occupy column 1 of the first line (just preceding the word “PASSTHRU”). Example: column: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 line 1: @ P A S S T H R U @ line 2: @ P A R T : 1 2 3 4 5 where @ is an attribute. When the 9150 is finished sending the data to the terminal’s printer, it will send an “ENTER” key to the host. The host must wait for the “ENTER” key before sending any more screens (including other “PASSTHRU” screens) to this terminal. Note: Refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for information about setting parameters on the terminal for pass-through. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 167 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Procedures If this parameter is enabled, the host may send TESS procedures through the 9150 to the terminals. A TESS procedure is a group of TESS commands that can be executed by the TESS execute procedure command. Local If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to provide pages to be loaded as local TESS procedures in the terminals. The local procedures are selected from a menu at the terminal. The terminals can perform these procedures when they are offline. Later when the terminals are online, they send the results of these functions to the host. Note: The Procedures parameter must also be enabled for Local to work. Host Print When this parameter is enabled, the host can send extra data to the terminal’s screens, and instruct the terminal to print it. This is in contrast to the Local Print feature, where the terminal makes the initial print request. The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into the 24 x 80 application screen. If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The 9150 identifies the additional text as a print page by the presence of the word “PRINT” (in capital letters) beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. The word “PRINT” should be defined as display-only text. The print page is positioned below the terminal’s display page (see Figure 6.6 on page 169). The size of the print page is always the same as the terminal’s display page (assuming that in the terminal’s configuration, the page length is less than 12 lines). When Host Print is enabled, the 9150 passes the print page to the terminal after receiving the application screen from the host. 168 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Display Page (8 x 40) PRINT Print Page (8 x 40) Figure 6.6 Application Screen With Print Page Notes: 1. Unlike the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer. 2. Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal in its Printer command under the TESS Features menu; refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information. Remote Print When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the print page to a terminal whenever the terminal requests it (by sending the “F17” function key from the terminal, or the “PRINT” key on older terminals). The 9150 sends the function response back to the host. This is in contrast to Host Print, where the host makes the initial print request. Note: Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal level. Refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 169 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Pages This parameter determines the number of host screens (or pages) stored at the terminal, to a maximum of 16. The 9150 reduces data transmitted to the terminals by using the terminal’s capability to store a page of data for each screen it displays. The 9150 maintains an image of each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries to match the screen with a stored page. If a similar page is already in the terminal’s memory, the 9150 instructs the terminal to re-display its copy of the page; only the necessary changes are sent from the controller. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the terminal over the radio link. Note: There is a corresponding parameter on the terminal itself, and the actual number of saved pages will be the smaller of the two values. Transmit Line When this feature is enabled, all modified data at the terminal will be automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into a transmit-upon-entry field. The value in this textbox specifies the line on the screen which is designated the transmit line. The last entry field above or on the transmit line on the screen will be identified as the transmit-upon-entry field. If any entry fields exist on lines below the transmit line, no entry field will be designated as the transmit-upon-entry field. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. A value of 24 will cause the last entry field on each application screen to be defined as transmit-upon-entry. AIAG This parameter provides auto-locate and fill for input coming from bar code readers. When bar code data is entered at a terminal, the terminal searches for “AIAG” fields on the current page that can accept the bar code data. The data preloaded into the “AIAG” field by the application program determines whether or not the bar code data is accepted. At the 9150 mini-controller, a decimal value of an ASCII character from 0 to 127 is set to match the “AIAG Field Identifier” set at the host. A value of 0 disables this feature. 170 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The format of the preloaded data is as follows: The mode character used with the command allows for different operating modes to suit various application operations. The automatic locate and fill operation applies only to data received from a bar code reader. Descriptions of the modes and AIAG prefix are listed in the table below. These modes are set at the host. Mode +4 +8 +16 AIAG Prefix (data) Function Display prefix, send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, send prefix to host. Display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Add 4 to above values to cause transmit to host when all AIAG fields with 4 set are filled. Function 0 is “pressed” if there are any fields with this bit set, and all fields with this bit set have been filled by operator input. Add 8 to above values to allow overwrite of previously entered data. Add 16 to above values to indicate cursor position priority for search and fill. The text to be matched in the AIAG field. Table 6.3 Mode Functions And AIAG Prefix Description Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 171 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Example: The information in the sample screen below is defined at and sent from the host. It includes the “AIAG Identifier” – the tag identifying this as an AIAG field – followed by the mode, in this case Mode 0, and finally, the “AIAG Prefix” – I. AIAG Information From Host AIAG Field Identifier AIAG Prefix (data) Item No. @ 0I Mode Figure 6.7 AIAG Field Sent From The Host When the information arrives at the terminal screen, the appropriate AIAG field for the scanned information is located using the “AIAG Identifier”. Because Mode 0 was set at the host, the “AIAG Prefix” – I – is displayed on the terminal screen, and when this screen is completed, the prefix will be sent back to the host. AIAG Information From Host To Terminal Screen AIAG Field Identifier Item No. @ I AIAG Prefix (data) Figure 6.8 AIAG Field Sent To The Terminal Visible Match Character By inserting a special ASCII character directly before an entry field, the application program distinguishes a “match field” from an entry field. For example, suppose an angle bracket “>” is defined for visible match fields. Inserting “>” immediately preceding the entry field identifies it as a match field, as illustrated below. Part #> ___________ 172 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. To use the Visible Match feature, the host computer preloads data into a match entry field; the data is visible on the terminal screen. The preloaded data sent to a terminal can consist of exact characters, special match characters or a combination of the two. Refer to the table below for match characters recognized by Teklogix terminals. If an entry does not match the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the terminal beeps, and the cursor moves to the first position in the match field. The operator can either make another entry in the match field, or move the cursor to a new field. When an entry (even one that doesn’t match the preloaded data) is made in a match field, the entry is sent to the host as part of the terminal’s modified data during the next transmission. Character Description Match a number. Match a letter (either case). Match an uppercase letter. Match a lowercase letter. Match an alphanumeric character. Match a letter, number or space. Match a punctuation character. Match any character. Match all character positions in the field with the preceding character. Match any remaining characters, but not necessarily the remainder of the field, with the preceding character. Table 6.4 Match Characters Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 173 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Example: Suppose you want to preload an entry field with a part number. If the part number is known, you can preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is needed, and the part number always begins with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen and four digits, the match string for the field would be: &&–#### . Hidden Match Character Unlike data in a “visible match” field, the preloaded data in a “hidden match” field is not displayed at the terminal. Note: Refer to “Visible Match Character” on page 172 for detailed information about field matching. The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. Serial I/O Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by preceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field, the data will be sent to the terminal’s serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the terminal’s serial port. The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Print Line This parameter allows you to enter the starting line number of the print page in the application screen. A value of 1 causes the display page to be printed; a value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Print Form Length This parameter sets the printer’s form length in lines. The range is 0 to 24. 174 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Barcode Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a bar code reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-inputonly by preceding the field with a special character. The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Entry Line This parameter contains the number of the first line displayed if there is no entry field in the upper-left portion of the screen, and if an entry field is at or below this line. The Entry Line parameter allows an automatic offset within the host screen, so that the area displayed by the terminal includes an entry field that would normally be out of bounds. Normally, Teklogix terminals only display the upper-left corner of the application screen because of their smaller display size. Field Overhead This parameter contains the maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the 9150 to join them into one field. Sometimes the 9150 will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link. For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was ‘5’, then these fields would be joined into one. Command Region This parameter defines a region of the host screen which the 9150 will examine for the presence of reserved commands. The four numbers in the Command Region textboxes represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. The first textbox of each pair contains the row number; the second contains the column number. The range of row values is 0 to 24; column values are 0 to 80. To define the last two lines of the host screen as the command region, for example, enter the values 23, 1 and 24, 80. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 175 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Currently, the only command supported is ALARM (refer to page 166 for details on this command). When the word “ALARM” is placed anywhere within the command region, the 9150 will send a TESS beep command to the terminal. 6.4.4.2 Protocol Options This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page (see page 148). The 9150 displays this version of the Protocol Options page when you select the emulation/protocol combination of 5250/Telnet for this host. Terminal Type This parameter allows you to choose the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150 for this host. At present there are two choices of terminal for 5250/Telnet: the IBM 5251-11 and IBM 5555-B01. 176 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Host Port This parameter allows you to enter a host port value for the selected 5250/Telnet host connection. The default value is 23. Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4. First Local Terminal Port This parameter contains the local port number from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. The default value is 0. Local IP Address to Bind This parameter contains the IP address of the network adaptor from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 0. The default value is 0 (disabled). Actively Negotiate with Host If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 starts negotiations with the host during setup of the telnet connection. Not recommended for most hosts. Negotiate Virtual Device Name with Host If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 negotiates with the host to obtain a virtual device name for the telnet connection. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 177 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Virtual Device Name prefix This parameter specifies a prefix for the automatically-generated virtual device name. The device name on the host starts with the prefix, specifies the terminal (as a number), and specifies a session number (as a letter). For example, if the virtual device name prefix is TLX, the first session on terminal number 2 receives a virtual device name of TLX0002A. The prefix must use the SNA Type A character set, which includes uppercase letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, and the special characters $, #, and @. Lowercase letters are accepted and translated to uppercase characters. An SNA Type A character string must not begin with a number. Auto-telnet This parameter enables you to disable or enable automatic connection of telnet sessions from terminals to this host. The choices provided are: Disable and Auto-telnet. The default value is Disable. When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each terminal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 will automatically telnet to the host, both on startup and when the session is closed. Note: Auto-telnet sessions are only initiated for terminals which are “online” (turned on and operating properly on the Teklogix RF network). Auto-telnet Host This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150 connects Auto-telnet sessions. Note: 178 A host name placed in this textbox must be “resolvable” by the 9150: the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host name may correspond to an entry in the 9150’s host table, or the 9150 may be able to query a domain-name server. Any host name which can be used at the terminal’s TCP> prompt may be used here. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet 6.4.4.3 Function Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Function Key Mapping page when you select 5250 emulation for this host. Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal. Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on this page. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 179 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5 ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5.1 Emulation Options The 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. Maximum Screen Size The Maximum Screen Size allows you to set the maximum required screen size in terminals, by rows and columns. This feature ensures the optimal use of memory when using the page saving option (see “Page Saving” on page 182). The range is a minimum setting of 24 x 80 to a maximum setting of 60 x 132. The default setting is 24 x 80. Host Timeout The Host Timeout is the interval (in ticks, or 60ths of a second) between bursts of data received from the host. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 15. 180 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet If the 9150 does not receive any characters from the host after this timeout has elapsed, it assumes that the host has finished sending data and is waiting for user input (in other words, it assumes that a screen of data has been completed). Important: The Page Saving parameter (page 182) must be enabled in order to change the value in the Host Timeout parameter. Escape Timeout The Escape Timeout is the length of time (in ticks, or 60ths of a second) that the 9150 will hold an “ESC” received from the host, and consider the next received byte to be part of an escape sequence. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 12. When this timeout has elapsed, the host will have to send another “ESC” character to start an escape sequence. Note: This is especially important when an ESC is at the end of a data packet. Threshold The Threshold is the minimum number of bytes of update data for the terminal screen which must be received from the host before the 9150 will store the screen as a new “saved page”. The range is 0 to 999, with a default value of 200. Important: The Page Saving parameter (page 182) must be enabled in order to change the value in the Threshold parameter. Echo If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses “Smart” Echo. This mode reduces the amount of data sent to the terminal by decreasing the number of radio transmissions. Ordinarily, when a character mode application is being used, each keystroke is sent to the host in one transmission, and the character is echoed by the host in another transmission. When “Smart” Echo is enabled, the 9150 will not send the host echo to the terminals if it matches the data sent from the terminal. Thus, the number of radio transmissions is reduced. This mode also reduces or eliminates the delay between typing a character on the keyboard and displaying the character echoed by the host. The maximum number of characters waiting for echo is 25. Any additional characters will be sent to the host but not displayed. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 181 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Notes: 1. This parameter also determines whether an ANSI parameter query is sent to the terminal. 2. “Smart” Echo also needs to be enabled at the terminal (refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual). Function Key Remapping If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 remaps the function keys for this host connection as defined in the Function Key Remapping page (page 190). Page Saving If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses page saving, reducing data transmitted to the terminals. The 9150 maintains an image of each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries to match the screen with a stored page. If the page is already in the terminal, the 9150 instructs the terminal to redisplay its stored copy of the page; no data need be sent across the radio link for that page. If the 9150 finds no match for the page, the complete page is sent to the terminal. The default value is enabled. Notes: When page saving is enabled, the number of saved pages is that which is set on the terminal. Refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for details. If using double byte character sets, such as Chinese or Korean, please refer to the Page Saving Consider Double Byte Character parameter, below. Page Saving Consider Double Byte Character When using double byte character sets such as Chinese or Korean, Page Saving (see above) will allow a double byte character to be partially overwritten, which can lead to a single byte of unprintable screen data or a new unintended character made up of two halves of different characters. Also, the terminal may shift data on the screen to truncate the bad data. 182 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet When Page Saving Consider Double Byte Character is enabled, Page Saving will replace any orphaned double byte character half with a space to prevent modified characters and truncated data from being displayed on the terminal. The default value is disabled. Note: This option should only be used when using double byte character sets. RLE If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses run-length encoding (RLE) on the data it sends across the radio link. RLE compresses repeated characters going from the host to the terminal. If repeated characters are found in the data stream, the first one is sent, followed by a short escape sequence (3 or 4 characters) which tells the terminal how many times to repeat this character. In this way RLE compresses the data and decreases the total amount of radio-link traffic. Convert 7 to 8 Bits If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 converts 7-bit control sequences to their 8-bit equivalents in ANSI data streams going to the terminals. This replaces two-character escape sequences with a single equivalent character, compressing the data. 6.4.5.2 Protocol Options This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page. When you select the emulation/protocol combination of ANSI/Telnet for this host the 9150 displays the version of the Protocol Options screen shown on page 184. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 183 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Terminal Type This parameter specifies the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150. The characters entered in the textbox can be any ASCII string acceptable to the host, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default value is VT100. 184 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Host Port This parameter specifies the value for the host port for the selected ANSI host connection. The default value is 23. Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4. Close Host Sessions on Terminal Reset When this parameter is enabled, and a terminal reset message is received, the Host session for that terminal number will be closed. The default value is disabled. First Local Terminal Port This parameter specifies the port number from which the 9150 attempts a telnet connection for the first terminal. The default value is 0. Additional telnet sessions are assigned higher port numbers. Local IP Address to Bind This parameter specifies the IP address of the 9150 interface that connects to this host. It is used along with the local port numbers to create a unique socket for each terminal session. First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 0. The default value is 0 (disabled). TCP Session Request Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to request a new ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 1. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 185 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Session Cycle Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to display the next ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 2. Last Active Session Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to display the last ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 5. Auto-telnet/login Enable This parameter enables you to disable or enable automatic connection of telnet sessions from terminals to this host. The choices provided are: DISABLE; AUTOTELNET; AUTO-TELNET/LOGIN. The default value is DISABLE. When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each terminal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually. Note: Auto-telnet sessions are only initiated for terminals which are “online” (turned on and operating properly on the Teklogix RF network). When Auto-telnet and Auto-login are enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each terminal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. It then logs each session in to the host using the User ID and Password provided in this page. Note: 186 The User ID and Password is identical for all Auto-telnet sessions automatically logged in to this host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Auto-telnet Host This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150 connects Auto-telnet sessions. Note: A host name placed in this textbox must be “resolvable” by the 9150: the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host name may correspond to an entry in the 9150’s host table, or the 9150 may be able to query a domain-name server. Any host name which can be used at the terminal’s TCP> prompt may be used here. Auto-telnet Terminal Prompt This parameter contains the text presented to the user to request a login. The characters can be any ASCII string, or a numeric escape sequence presented in octal or hexadecimal digits. An octal escape sequence takes one of the forms: \0d, \0dd, or \0ddd, where each ‘d’ can be any digit from 0-7. If ‘ddd’ is greater than decimal 256, the code value of the represented character will be the remainder of the decimal ddd/256. A hexadecimal escape sequence takes one of the forms: \xh or xhh, where each ‘h’ can be any digit from 0-9, or any alpha value from a-f or A-F. Note: \0 is considered a character, with a code value of 0. The allowable value is a maximum of 60 characters in the line. The default is no text, just press to login. Auto-login User ID This parameter contains the user ID presented by the 9150 to the host for the Auto-login sessions. The characters can be any ASCII string acceptable to the host, with a maximum of 32 characters. Auto-login Password This parameter contains the password presented by the 9150 to the host for the Auto-login sessions. The characters can be any ASCII string acceptable to the host, with a maximum of 32 characters. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 187 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Auto-login User ID prompt The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent its request for a user name, and it sends the user ID specified in the Auto-Login User ID parameter to the host. The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default text is gin:. Note: The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the user-ID prompt. Do not include multi-part words separated by space characters, since some hosts send out characters other than space characters to present a space on the screen. Auto-login Password prompt The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent its request for a password, and it sends the password specified in the Auto-Login Password parameter to the host. The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default text is word:. Note: The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the password prompt. Do not include multi-part words separated by space characters, since some hosts send out characters other than space characters to present a space on the screen. Auto-login failed login The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent a string informing the terminal of a failed login attempt. The 9150 then presents the Auto-telnet Terminal Prompt on the terminal’s screen to request the user to login manually. The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default text is incorrect. Note: 188 The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the failed-login prompt. Do not include multi-part words separated by space characters, since some hosts send out characters other than space characters to present a space on the screen. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Allow TCP Sessions When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows a terminal user to switch prompts or sessions while at the prompt (either Auto-login or TCP). If Allow TCP Sessions is disabled, all new sessions will open as Auto-login sessions. Requesting sessions (normally a on the terminal) can be used at the prompt level to change the type of prompt (if the other type of prompt is available). Switching sessions at the prompt level is also available (on the terminal as b [next session], or e [last session]). When switching sessions at the prompt, the terminal state (not logged in) will be correctly adjusted to match that of the switching in session. The default value is enabled. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 189 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5.3 Function Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version (page 191) of the Function Key Mapping page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for the host connection. 190 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration RF Modem/Telnet Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal. Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on the screen above. 6.4.6 RF Modem/Telnet RF Modem/Telnet is intended for a controller communicating with a Teklogix Model 6040 RF Modem. The 6040 acts as a terminal on the Psion Teklogix network to allow serial devices to communicate over that network (see the 6040 RF Modem User Manual for details). Since the 6040 simply passes serial data through to connected serial devices, there are no emulation or function key options. The 9150 displays this version of the Host Menu page after you have selected the RF Modem/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. 6.4.6.1 Emulation Options These parameters are not applicable to the RF Modem emulation. 6.4.6.2 ANSI Telnet Protocol Options (RF Modem) This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Protocol Options page for the emulation/protocol combination RF Modem/Telnet for this host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 191 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ V2 Features Menu First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 10000. The default value is 10000 (disabled). 6.4.6.3 Function Key Mappings These parameters are not applicable to the RF Modem emulation. 6.5 802.IQ V2 Features Menu This parameter accesses the 802.IQv2 sub-menu that enables the Psion Teklogix proprietary 802.11b enhanced protocol, as described in “Psion Teklogix’ 802.IQ Protocol” on page9. For detailed configuration information on 802.IQv1, please refer to “802.IQ Version 1 Configuration Menu” on page64. 6.5.1 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration 802.IQ is a Psion Teklogix proprietary optimized protocol that enables terminals to operate on a wireless LAN in a network that supports both TCP/IP and 802.IQ protocol simultaneously. 802.IQ protocol is available in two versions: 802.IQv1 and 802.IQv2. The 9150 can support both versions of the protocol at the same time (terminals must use only one). 802.IQv1 protocol is a wireless LAN protocol that provides greater performance in an 802.11b wireless network than is possible with TCP/IP. The 9150 bridges the 802.IQv1 wireless and TCP/IP wired networks. 802.IQv2 protocol is an enhanced version of the 802.IQv1 protocol that transports packets over the UDP layer. It provides all the 802.IQv1 functionality, with the added features of software upgrade capability over RF, the ability to add third-party access points between controllers and terminals, and integration into the mapRF system, if desired. Important: 802.IQ should only be enabled on wired 9150s. Do not configure 802.IQ on wired 9150s bridging networks, since 802.IQ beacons would be sent through the WDS link from one network to the other (see “Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Configuration” on page72). 192 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration The 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration page is entered from the 802.IQ v2 Features menu on the main web page, under Mini-Controller Configuration. 6.5.1.1 802.IQ v1/v2 Common Features Auto Startup This parameter enables ( √ ) 802.IQ immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. When the 9150 is operating as a base station under a network controller or a 9150 minicontroller, this parameter must be disabled. The default value is disabled. Important: If Auto Startup is set incorrectly, terminals may not operate correctly. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 193 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration Beacon Period An 802.IQ beacon is a broadcast sent out to all 802.IQ-enabled terminals. The beacon allows terminals to determine when they have roamed between base stations. It enables a terminal to determine whether or not the base station or controller was rebooted and, if so, how to recover. If the controller was rebooted, the terminal closes all sessions and fully re-initializes. If the base station was rebooted, or if the terminal moved to a different 9150, a warm initialize is done (no data will be lost). The Beacon Period parameter acceptable value ranges from 1 to 20 seconds. The default value is 2. Terminal Offline Timeout This parameter sets the time (in minutes) before the 802.IQ task on the 9150 will send an offline message to the cellular master declaring the terminal offline. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 240. The default value is 5. 6.5.1.2 802.IQ v2 Configuration Submenu Enabled This parameter enables ( √ ) or disables the 802.IQv2 protocol. The default value is disabled. Beacon UDP Port This parameter identifies the UDP port for beacon broadcasts. If more than one 802.IQv2 controller is on the network, the parameter must be changed to separate the systems. The parameter must also match the corresponding parameter on the terminal. The range of values is 5001 to 65535. The default value is 8888. Beacon Gateway Interface This is the interface on which the beacons are sent out. The default is [1] 10BaseT Ethernet. 194 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 9100 MONITORING/DIAGNOSTICS 7.1 Fault Monitoring . . . . . . . . . . 7.1.1 Low Current Detection. 7.1.2 High Current Detection 7.1.3 Power Monitoring . . . 7.2 Diagnostics and Status Reporting . . . .197 . . 197 . . 197 . . 198 . . .198 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 195 Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Fault Monitoring 7.1 Fault Monitoring Once power to a port is applied, the microcontroller enters a fault monitoring mode. The diagnostic functions are: • • • Low current condition High current condition Power Monitoring (conducted regardless of port state) 7.1.1 Low Current Detection The microcontroller continuously checks ports in the “ON” state to determine if each/any is in an under-current condition (this will typically happen when the Ethernet cable is disconnected or some other fault occurs). This ensures that a powered cable, when disconnected from a powered device, cannot be reconnected into some other device, possibly causing damage to a non-compliant device. If a Low Current condition is detected, then the power to the port is turned off. This process is carried out for each of the four ports during fault monitoring. Following a Low Current detection, the 9100 starts the discovery process again after a twosecond delay. This fault is indicated by a slowly flashing yellow LED. After a two-second delay, the 9100 will start the resistor detection again. 7.1.2 High Current Detection Once a port is enabled, a sense voltage is measured periodically by the microcontroller to ensure that it remains less than the maximum allowed voltage, otherwise an over-current fault occurs. A maximum continuous current of up to 350 mA is allowed. To allow for inrush currents, which may occur when a powered device is first connected (or the presence of a short or surge on the line), a hardware currentlimiting circuit ensures fail-safe output power control during the first 100mS following port power-ON. Subsequently, the microcontroller will turn the port power OFF immediately upon detection of an overcurrent condition. Note: There is a five-second safety period before the 9100 begins resistor detection on a port that has triggered the overcurrent detection. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 197 Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Power Monitoring 7.1.3 Power Monitoring The 9100 power monitoring circuit constantly checks the operating condition of the internal power supply. If the power goes out of range, all ports are turned off, and all LEDs will be in Fast blink mode. 7.2 Diagnostics and Status Reporting The 9100 PowerBaseT console port consists of a UART port on the microcontroller, RS232 transceiver (U7) and a DB9 connector. Detailed information and the DB9 connector pinout is given on page B-4. The DB9 connector is used for the following functions: • Report Status Using a PC and HyperTerminal. • Programming/Download Supports code updates by Field Service personnel. The microcontroller is required to provide the following functions: • Maintain port status Port off, Port on, fault • Maintain port control Port enabled, Port disabled • Report power consumption Monitor current flow using the current sensing circuit. The information in Figure 7.1 on page 199 is output on the console port every second. The frequency at which this information is updated is adjustable via a console command input. It can be set anywhere from never to 65,535 seconds, in one-second increments. Serial port settings are 19,200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. Note: High and Low Current Detection: A fault condition will be indicated by the LEDs and on the console until the fault is cleared, either by the resistor detection for that port succeeding and the port being switched ON, or disabling and re-enabling the port from the console. 198 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Diagnostics and Status Reporting 9100 Main Port Port Port Port >5 PowerBaseT – Build1: D161o supply: Good2 1: Disabled current: 0 mA 2: Off current: 0 mA 3: On current3: 78 mA 4: High Current4: current 0 mA Firmware build date.

Figure 7.1 Annotated Console Information Screen The possible states for any one port, as listed in Figure 7.1, are described below: Disabled Disabled in software via the console port. The port is inactive and will remain in this state until it is enabled via the console, or the 9100 is reset. When the port is activated, it transitions to the OFF state. OFF In this state the 9100 is constantly performing the auto-detect algorithm, looking for 9150DCs connected to the port. When a 9150DC is found, the port will transition to the ON state. ON A 9150DC has been found, and DC power is switched on. The port is constantly monitored for fault conditions. If everything remains within operating specification, the port will remain in the ON state. Fault conditions may transition the port to the Low Current fault or High Current fault state. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 199 Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Diagnostics and Status Reporting Low Current fault A 9150DC that was previously being powered on this port has either been disconnected, or is not operating correctly. The 9100 will remove power from the port and remain in this state for a minimum of two seconds before transitioning to the OFF state. The port will continue to indicate the Low Current fault until it either transitions to the ON state, or is disabled via the console. High Current fault A 9150DC that was previously being powered on this port is drawing too much current from the 9100, or there is a short in the connecting cabling. The 9100 will remove power from the port and remain in this state for a minimum of five seconds before transitioning to the OFF state. The port will continue to indicate the High Current fault until it either transitions to the ON state, or is disabled via the console. 200 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 8 SPECIFICATIONS 8.1 Specifications For The 9150 Wireless Gateway . . 8.1.1 Physical Description . . . . . . . . . . 8.1.2 9150T Power Requirements . . . . . . 8.1.3 9150DC Power Requirements . . . . . 8.1.4 Processor And Memory . . . . . . . . 8.1.5 Environmental Requirements . . . . . 8.1.6 Network Interfaces . . . . . . . . . . . 8.1.7 PC Card Radios . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.1.8 Approvals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.2 Specifications For The 9100 PowerBaseT . . . . . 8.2.1 Physical Description . . . . . . . . . . 8.2.2 Power Requirements . . . . . . . . . . 8.2.3 Network Interface . . . . . . . . . . . 8.2.4 Electrical Safety Approvals . . . . . . 8.3 USI WaveLAN PC Card Regulatory Information . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .203 . . . 203 . . . 203 . . . 203 . . . 203 . . . 204 . . . 204 . . . 204 . . . 205 . . . .206 . . . 206 . . . 206 . . . 206 . . . 206 . . .207 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 201 Chapter 8: Specifications Specifications For The 9150 Wireless Gateway Note: Performance specifications are nominal and subject to change without notice. 8.1 Specifications For The 9150 Wireless Gateway 8.1.1 Physical Description Enclosure Dimensions Weight Nominal Maximum Nominal Maximum Bayer Makroblend EL-700 (PC/PET blend), jet black in colour, texture to MT-11030 or equivalent 36.3 x 26.2 x 7.4 cm (14.3 x 10.3 x 2.9 in.) 36.8 x 26.7 x 7.6 cm (14.5 x 10.5 x 3.0 in.) 2.9 kg (6.5 lbs.) 3.2 kg (7.0 lbs.) 8.1.2 9150T Power Requirements Input voltage Frequency Current Warning: 100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz 1.0 A To avoid electric shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must always be connected to ground. 8.1.3 9150DC Power Requirements Input voltage Current Warning: 48 VDC nominal 250 mA maximum A ground wire, not exceeding 3 m in length, must be connected between the ground screw (adjacent to the Auz.48V jack) and a suitable earth ground bonding point. 8.1.4 Processor And Memory 9150T Wireless Gateway: Power PC 860T, 50 MHz Processor 9150DC Wireless Gateway: Power PC 860T, 50-60 MHz Processor 16 MB DRAM 2 MB Flash ROM Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 203 Chapter 8: Specifications Environmental Requirements 8.1.5 Environmental Requirements Operating Temperature Operating Rel.
