Chapter 1: IntroductionText Conventions4Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual1.2 Text ConventionsNote: Notes highlight additional helpful information.Important: These statements provide particularly important instructions or additional information that is critical to the operation of the computer and other equipment.Warning: These statements provide important information that may prevent injury, damage to the equipment, or loss of data.1.3 About The 9150The 9150 Wireless Gateway is designed to support a wide variety of system config-urations. Using the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard, the 9150 is capable of operating as a transparent bridge (access point) between wireless and wired networks. This allows wireless clients to access the network and also move seamlessly between the 9150s in the network. The 9150 can also operate as a Teklogix base station or a mini-controller. The 9150 supports Type II PCMCIA cards so that multiple radio interfaces are pos-sible. The 9150 also has dual-radio functionality. It can support several combina-tions of radio types to function as both a mini-controller and base station, access point and base station, or access point and mini-controller. For details, see “Radio Options” on page 7. The 9150 Flash memory holds the boot code, configuration parameters and firm-ware. The 9150 Configuration program allows various parameter settings to be changed, added or deleted. The Flash can be reconfigured remotely via the network using a standard HTML Web Browser such as Netscape or MS Internet Explorer (for instructions, see Chapter 3: “9150 Main Configuration”).

Chapter 1: IntroductionBase Station Functions6Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual1.3.1 Base Station FunctionsAs a base station, the 9150 provides a link between the local area network and the wireless network consisting of Teklogix mobile terminals, and base stations such as the 9140 Wireless Gateway. The 9150 and 9400/9300 Network Controller (or host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit) communicate using the 9010 propri-etary protocol with TCP/IP over Ethernet, Token Ring or serial connectivity. Wlan protocol enables the 9150 to communicate with 9140s without cable attachments (see Figure 4.1 on page 47). For information on configuring the 9150 as a base station, see Chapter 4: “Base Station Configuration”. For details on Wlan, see “Wlan Protocol” on page 8.1.3.2 Mini-Controller FunctionsThe 9150 is equipped with some emulation capabilities, allowing it to act as a mini-controller. 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 9400/9300 Network Controller.To configure the 9150 as a mini-controller, see Chapter 5: “Mini-Controller Config-uration”. For a generalized system diagram, see Figure 5.1 on page 78.1.3.3 Access Point FunctionsAs an access point, the 9150 Wireless Gateway forms a communication link between Teklogix RF terminals or wireless access point clients and a Teklogix Network Controller or a host computer. It communicates over an IEEE 802.11 RF data link with terminals and over a cable with a network controller or a host com-puter. The 9150 can be connected to the network through an Ethernet or Token Ring connection. The diagram in Figure 6.1 on page 125 illustrates a 9150 access point connection between a Teklogix 9400 Network Controller on Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 wireless devices. Figure 1.4 on page 12 shows a generalized Token Ring configuration.For information on the 9150 as an access point, see “IEEE 802.11 Protocol” on page 10 and Chapter 6: “Access Point Configuration”.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 7Chapter 1: IntroductionRadio Options1.4 Radio OptionsThe 9150 supports Type II PCMCIA cards so that multiple radio interfaces are possible. There is one internal and one external PC card slot available. The type of PCMCIA radio card installed in the 9150 is dependent on your wireless network. Currently supported radios are: •TRX7370 Narrow Band DSP.•TekLAN 902 MHz DS Spread Spectrum (TRX7410).•TekLAN 2.4 GHz DS Spread Spectrum (TRX7425).•Proxim RangeLAN802 IEEE 802.11 FHSS 2.4 GHz (TRX7440).•Lucent WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 DSSS 2.4 GHz (TRX7430).The 9150 has dual-radio functionality. It can support several combinations of radio types to function as both a mini-controller and base station, access point and base sta-tion, or access point and mini-controller. The 902 MHz, 2.4 GHz (802.11 and TekLAN) and Narrow Band radios can be used in any combination, with the exception of dual TekLAN or dual Narrow Band radios.Important: The radio in the terminal must match the radio in the 9150 Wireless Gateway. If changing radio types in the 9150, DO NOT “hot swap” the PC cards: Turn the 9150 off before changing the radio.1.5 Radio ProtocolsRF protocols allow terminals to communicate with a base station by sharing the use of a radio channel in an efficient way. Teklogix systems use one of three types of RF protocols: the Teklogix Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol, the Teklogix Wireless LAN (Wlan) protocol, or the non-proprietary IEEE 802.11 protocol. When used as a base station, the 9150 uses either the Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol or the Wlan protocol. These two protocol types cannot be mixed on a single system. When used as an access point device, the 9150 employs the IEEE 802.11 protocol. These protocols are described in the following sections.
Chapter 1: IntroductionAdaptive Polling/Contention Protocol8Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual1.5.1 Adaptive Polling/Contention ProtocolThe Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol is always used on Narrow Band radio systems with baud rates of up to 19.2 kbps, and may also be used on Spread Spec-trum systems at higher rates.Terminals operating with this protocol do not transmit unless they receive polls from the 9150. Terminals are generally polled en masse. Following each poll, groups of terminals are assigned response windows in which they may respond to the poll. If a “collision” occurs – more than one terminal attempts to respond in a particular window – the 9150 that is polling divides and reassigns that group until the colliding terminals can respond without a collision.Adaptive features of this protocol allow the response windows to be adjusted to accommodate high or low RF traffic conditions, and to prevent data from being queued too long when a particular terminal has a burst of data to send or receive.Systems using adaptive polling/contention can use the cellular option so that terminal operators can roam the site, maintaining uninterrupted communication as they pass between coverage areas.If cellular base is not enabled, a “RESET: Press Enter” message appears on the terminal screen each time an operator moves from one base station coverage area to another. (Pressing <ENTER> restores communication, but some data may be lost.)1.5.2 Wlan ProtocolThe Wlan (Wireless LAN) protocol is used only on Spread Spectrum radio systems at baud rates of 122 kbps and higher. The Wlan protocol allows base stations to be added to a system without cable connections. A Wlan system consists of a minimum of one wired base station and zero or more wireless base stations. It can operate on either one channel – usually the case – or on multiple channels.When a Wlan system is operating, base stations do not send out polls. Instead, both wired and wireless base stations regularly broadcast routing information, indicating the available routes back to the controller. Both terminals and wireless base stations receive these broadcasts, determine the best communication route, and send their messages. If a better route becomes available, the terminal or wireless base will change communication paths.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 9Chapter 1: IntroductionWlan ProtocolOnly one base station or terminal may transmit at one time. When the channel is clear, a combination of preset priorities and random choices determines who “goes next”. Even if two transmitters attempt to send at the same time, message acknowledgements and retransmissions prevent any data from being lost.Terminals moving through the Wlan communicate with the base stations that provide the best communication path to a wired base station. If multiple channels are used, the terminal looks for a better channel only if it cannot find an acceptable path back on its current channel.Note: For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a base station, please see Chapter 4: “Base Station Configuration”. For a generalized system diagram, see Figure 1.3, below.Figure 1.3 9150 LAN And Serial Configuration9150ETHERNETTCP/IP915091408055 Vehicle-Mount94007030 Hand-HeldSERIALWireless GatewayNetwork ControllerWireless GatewayRF TerminalRF TerminalWireless GatewayHOST
Chapter 1: IntroductionIEEE 802.11 Protocol10 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual1.5.3 IEEE 802.11 ProtocolThe IEEE 802.11 protocol is an OSI standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). With this standard, any IEEE 802.11 radio can communicate with any other similarly-equipped device. However, IEEE 802.11 does not provide a standard for a total WLAN system. IEEE 802.11 solely standardizes two communications layers: Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC). Three different PHY layer media are covered: 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum radio, 2.4 GHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radio, and infrared. Each station in a WLAN system has its own unique MAC address. Important: Equipment using one physical medium (e.g. Frequency Hopping versus Direct Sequence) will not interoperate with equipment using a different physical medium.IEEE 802.11 uses 2.4 GHz radios of relatively low power. The range is limited to no more than a hundred feet or so, depending on the conditions, and is usually restricted to “line of sight” operation. Therefore, most wireless networks need more than one coverage area, with terminals moving between the areas. To integrate those areas, systems using IEEE 802.11 protocol for their wireless networks require an IEEE 802.11-equipped bridge device (or access point), such as the 9150 Wireless Gateway. Using bridging software, the 9150 Wireless Gateway enables communication between any wireless IEEE 802.11-equipped stations and LAN stations operating on Ethernet or Token Ring. The 9150 itself is resident on the LAN and functions as a MAC bridge, providing transparent integration between the stations on the wire-less and wired networks. Each terminal is associated with one 9150. A frame from an RF terminal is sent to the 9150 that the terminal is associated with. The terminal puts a destination MAC address in the frame, which specifies a hardware address on the wired LAN side. Because the receiving 9150 is connected to an Ethernet or Token Ring network, it encapsulates the data in an Ethernet or Token Ring frame, respectively, including the destination MAC address specified by the terminal. The 9150 then sends the frame onto the physical network; the frame is picked up by whichever device is at the des-tination hardware address.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 11Chapter 1: IntroductionIEEE 802.11 ProtocolWhen sending frames from the LAN side, the sending device puts the MAC address of the terminal in the frame header. Whichever 9150 has that terminal associated with it, takes the frame and passes it over the RF to the terminal. By passing frames in this way, the 9150 is acting as a MAC bridge. 1.5.3.1 Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP)The Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is an extension to the IEEE 802.11 protocol. IAPP facilitates roaming of mobile stations across different Basic Service Sets (groups of stations and their access points), and specifies how access points commu-nicate with each other. In a multiple-9150 system, IAPP informs the other 9150 Wireless Gateways when a new 9150 becomes active, and enables the awareness of the 9150s of each other. With IAPP, an IEEE 802.11 system can operate on one or more channels, with terminals moving between the 9150s. Although each terminal is associated with one 9150, it can reassociate with another 9150 to maintain uninterrupted communica-tions. The newly-associated 9150 will receive the terminal’s data frames and pass them onto the LAN. Returning frames are no longer accepted by the original 9150, which has disassociated from that terminal. The returning frames are now accepted by the newly-associated 9150 and passed over the RF to the terminal. Note: For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as an access point, please see Chapter 6: “Access Point Configuration”. For a generalized system diagram, see Figure 1.4 on page 12.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 15Chapter 2: Installation RequirementsChoosing The Right LocationWarning: The 9150 must be installed by qualified Teklogix personnel.2.1 Choosing The Right LocationTypically, Teklogix conducts a site survey in the plant and then recommends the preferred locations for the 9150s. These locations provide good radio coverage, minimize the distance to the host computer or network controller, and meet the environmental requirements.2.1.1 EnvironmentThe 9150 should be located in a well-ventilated area and should be protected from extreme temperature fluctuations (i.e. direct heater output, shipping doors or direct sunlight). If a protective cover is required, it must have enough ventilation to maintain the 9150’s surface at or near room temperature. The 9150 should be situated away from the path of vehicles and free from water or dust spray. The 9150 should only be mounted in the upright position, as shown in Figure 2.1, below. This orientation minimizes the risk of water entering the 9150, should the unit accidentally be sprayed. The 9150 is attached to a vertical surface using four fasteners on the rear plate (type of fasteners are dependent on mounting surface). The top two holes in the rear plate are slots, allowing the unit to be hung in position before the remaining bolts are installed, thus easing installation. The bolts used for installation are SAE 1/4-20.Figure 2.1 9150 Installation PositionMounting SlotCable Tie MountMounting Hole
Chapter 2: Installation RequirementsMaintenance16 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualRefer to Chapter 7: “Specifications” for a more detailed description of environmen-tal requirements. Keep in mind that the long term stability of this equipment will be enhanced if the environmental conditions are less severe than those listed in this manual.2.1.2 MaintenanceThe 9150 has no internal option switches and does not require physical access; all configuration settings are done remotely (see Chapter 3: “9150 Main Configura-tion”). Environmental and radio communication considerations do, however, still apply.2.1.3 Power And Antenna CablesTo prevent accidental disconnection and stress on the 9150, antenna and power cables should be secured within 30 cm of the unit. Secure the cables with ties to the cable tie mounts on the 9150 (see Figure 2.1 on page 15). A single phase power outlet (range 100 to 240 VAC rated 1.0A minimum) should be installed within one metre (3.1 feet) of the 9150. The 9150 automatically adjusts to input within that power range. The power cable is removable and is available in the power type spe-cific to your location.Warning: To avoid electric shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must always be connected to ground.There are several omnidirectional antennas available from Teklogix. The type of antenna required for each installation depends on the coverage requirements and the frequencies used. Generally, a site survey determines the appropriate antenna. Teklogix can also provide special, directional antennas. Consult Teklogix service personnel for more information.Warning: Never operate the 9150 without a suitable antenna or a dummy load.Connection to Outdoor Antenna: Outdoor antenna to be earthed in accordance with International Standard EN 50083-1 (1993), “Cabled Distribution Systems for Television and Sound Signals - Safety Requirements”. The antenna must be installed by a qualified service person and installed according to local electrical installation codes.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 17Chapter 2: Installation RequirementsConnecting To External DevicesTeklogix supplies the coaxial cable required to connect the 9150 to the antenna. When determining the location of the antenna, the coverage requirements of the antenna are considered in conjunction with the environmental requirements of the 9150. The coaxial cable must be routed and secured using wire anchors and/or coaxial nail clips. A few extra inches of cable are required near the antenna and the 9150 to make disconnection easier.2.2 Connecting To External DevicesThis section contains general guidelines for connecting the 9150 to external devices such as network controllers, base stations, host computers, PCs and video display terminals. 2.2.1 PortsFigure 2.2 below shows the locations of the port and power connectors on the under-side of the 9150.

Chapter 2: Installation RequirementsStatus Indicators (LEDs)18 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual2.2.2 Status Indicators (LEDs)The 9150 has six status indicators on the front of the enclosure. These numbered and coloured LEDs indicate the operating status for each port:2.2.3 Preparing For LAN InstallationBecause the 9150 provides Ethernet or Token Ring connectivity, it can be added to an existing LAN. Generally, LAN installations are handled with the help of the network administrators, as they are familiar with their network and its configuration.Once the 9150 is installed, connected and powered on, the system administrator can access the unit to check the configuration and to assign the 9150 its unique IP address. This may be done through the Console port or through the network (see “Connecting A Video Display Terminal” on page 21 and “Changing The Configura-LEDNumber Name Function Colour1 Ethernet link1 Link indicator for 10base-T: ON = good link; OFF = no link yellow2 Ethernet activity Ethernet LAN activity (Rx/Tx) green3PC Card A status2PC Card A activity (Rx/Tx) yellow4 PC Card B status2,3 PC Card B activity (Rx/Tx; Token Ring) green5 SLIM SLIM card activity yellow6PowerLED flashing = BIST4 running/error detectedLED On solid = BIST4 PassedLED Off = no power to unitgreen1 For 10Base2 and 10Base5: LED 1 is always OFF when these connections are used. 2 When a TekLAN 902 MHz radio is installed, the PC Card status LEDs blink only when data is received from or transmitted to a terminal.

Subsequent changes in the network, such as the addition of stations or users, would also require that the 9150 configuration be changed.Important: Once the 9150 is configured and rebooted the first time, the “Employ bootp” parameter should be disabled (see page 38), unless the 9150 obtains its IP address from a bootp server or the system administrator intends to update the software through bootp.2.2.3.1 EthernetThe 9150 is equipped with three variations of Ethernet connection: 10Base-T (RJ-45), 10Base2 (BNC coax), and 10Base5 (Dsub 15). See Figure 2.2 on page 17 for an illustration of the connector locations. Since these ports are auto-selecting, jumper or configuration settings are not required. The maximum packet size sup-ported over the network is 1500 bytes. This parameter is not set at the 9150, but should be set at the host. For a description of port pinouts, please refer to Appendix A: “Port Pinouts And Cable Diagrams”.Note: 10Base2 termination is not required if the port is not used.2.2.3.2 Token RingTo connect a 9150 to a Token Ring network, a Madge Token Ring Smart 16/4 Ring-node Adapter Type II PC card, 4 or 16 Mbps, is pre-installed in the internal PC card slot. The connector plate shown in the inset in Figure 2.2 on page 17 is fixed to the base of the 9150 to accommodate the Token Ring Dsub9 cable. This connection supports Shielded Twisted Pair (IBM STP) cables Type 1 or 6. The maximum packet size supported over the network is 1500 bytes. This parameter is not set at the 9150, but should be set at the host. For a description of port pinouts, please refer to Appendix A: “Port Pinouts And Cable Diagrams”.
Chapter 2: Installation RequirementsPreparing For Serial Installation20 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual2.2.4 Preparing For Serial InstallationThe 9150 offers serial connection as an option when a local area network is not used. Data cables are generally prepared after the site survey report is available and should be in place before the equipment arrives so that Teklogix can install them. The type of data cable used depends on the type of port required at the site. The type of port depends on the location of the 9150 and whether it is to be connected to a host computer or a network controller. Modems can be used to better accommodate long distances between the 9150 and the host computer or network controller.Port options include RS-232 Plus and Current Loop. Connector pinouts are listed in Appendix A: “Port Pinouts And Cable Diagrams”. The baud rate and the maximum length of the cable for each type of port is tabulated in Table 2.2, below. The cable lengths are based on a quality, 2-pair shielded cable (Belden #8723). The default baud rate for the 9150 serial connection is 19.2k. Each method of connection has different advantages and capabilities:•RS-232/Current Loop – This is a standard RS-232 asynchronous port with extra lines for synchronous communication. Cable length is limited by the RS-232 specification of 2500pF on the capacitance of the receiving stations. An optional current loop is available to extend the limits of this connection.•Optically isolated RS-232-Plus – This is a standard RS-232 asynchronous port with an RS-423 driver. Cables connected to this port can span longer distances at higher baud rates than the RS-232/Current Loop option.Table 2.2 Maximum Cable Lengths For RS-232 Plus And Current LoopPort Options Cable Part No. Baud Rate Max.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 21Chapter 2: Installation RequirementsConnecting A Video Display TerminalWarning: Installation using an outdoor data cable between two buildings requires that transient protection (a lightning arrestor) be addedto the data cable. The RS-232 Plus port is recommended in thissituation because it provides optical isolation between the cable and the controller.To avoid ground problems (on the data cables), the 9150 should be connected to the same transformer/voltage distribution system as the network controller. If this is not possible, use Current Loop ports or a pair of modems.2.2.5 Connecting A Video Display TerminalAn ANSI compatible video display terminal (e.g., DEC VT220 or higher), or a PC running terminal emulation, is used for diagnostic purposes and to configure the IP address for the first time before the 9150 can be accessed using a Web Browser (see “Configuring The IP Address” on page 25).The terminal is connected to the port labelled “Console” on the 9150 (see Figure 2.2 on page 17). This port is normally set to operate at 19,200 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. To comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules for a Class B computing device, only the cable supplied (Part no. 19387) should be used.2.3 Changing The Configuration With A Web BrowserThe 9150 Flash memory can be reconfigured remotely via the network using a stan-dard HTML Web Browser such as Netscape Navigator (version 4.05 or later) or MS Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later). See Chapter 3: “9150 Main Configuration” for instructions on changing the parameters.When setting up the 9150 as an access point device, refer to Chapter 6: “Access Point Configuration” for additional information. When setting up the 9150 as a base station, please refer to Chapter 4: “Base Station Configuration” for additional information.When setting up the 9150 as a mini-controller, please refer to Chapter 5: “Mini-Controller Configuration” for additional information.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 25Chapter 3: 9150 Main ConfigurationConfiguration Main Menu3.1 Configuration Main MenuThe 9150 Flash memory can be reconfigured remotely via the network using a standard HTML Web Browser such as Netscape Navigator (version 4.05 or later) or MS Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later). The 9150 Configuration program allows various configuration parameter settings to be changed, added or deleted. Important: The 9150 must be warm rebooted after parameter changes are made , including configuring the IP address (see below), in order for the changes to take effect. For details, see “Reboot Unit” on page 43.3.2 Configuring The IP AddressBefore the configuration menus can be accessed using your Web Browser, the 9150 must be assigned an IP address using a PC console connection. Virtually any PC can be connected to the console port of the 9150, provided that the PC has a terminal communication program such as the Windows “HyperTerminal” utility or “Procomm Plus” for Windows. These programs emulate an ANSI terminal such as VT220 or higher. Cable no. 19387 should be used to connect the PC to the 9150. Make sure the communications settings on your PC are set to 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity, and that the baud rate of the serial port matches that of the 9150 console port (19,200 baud). After the PC is attached and turned on, press the <RETURN> key several times until the “>” prompt appears. The commands used to configure IP addresses are described here.If your system uses a bootp server to assign IP addresses, make sure that “bootp” is enabled. Once enabled, and the 9150 is rebooted, you will be able to access the 9150 configuration menus through the Web Browser, using the IP address identified in the server's bootp table. If you do not use a bootp server, make sure that “bootp” is disabled and continue with the configuration commands to manually assign an IP address. Important: When your configuration is completed, the changes should be saved to flash by entering the following command (commands are case-sensitive):>cfg commitCache

Chapter 3: 9150 Main ConfigurationTCP/IP Parameters38 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual3.4.4.2 BootpThe 9150 has designated default IP addresses for itself and the Gateway. Alterna-tively, the IP address of the 9150 can be assigned using a BOOTP Server.The primary purpose of the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is to assign a designated IP address to the appropriate 9150 on the network. When Employ bootp is enabled, a request for address is automatically broadcast to all hosts on the local network.BOOTP Servers search the bootptab files for a hardware address which matches that of the 9150 that initiated the request for address. (Bootptab files list each hardware address with a corresponding IP address.) The host with a matching hard-ware address in its bootp table replies to the request, sending the appropriate IP address to the 9150.Employ bootpEnable Employ bootp (√), to automatically broadcast a request for address to all hosts on the local network.Important: Once the 9150 is configured and rebooted the first time, the Employ bootp parameter should be disabled, unless the 9150 obtains its IP address from a bootp server or the system administrator intends to update the software through bootp.Actual Default Gateway AddressThis parameter shows the Default Gateway address currently set for the 9150.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 39Chapter 3: 9150 Main ConfigurationTCP/IP ParametersDefault Gateway AddressThe Default Gateway Address is assigned by the network administrator. This address creates an identifiable communication link between the 9150 and a network other than the one to which the 9150 is directly wired. The acceptable values for the Gateway IP address range from 0.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.Note: Setting the Gateway IP Address to 0.0.0.0 disables this feature. A communication link will not exist between sub-networks.3.4.4.3 DNS Domain Name System allows users to locate destinations on the TCP/IP network by domain (host) name. The DNS server maintains a database of host names and their corresponding IP addresses. For example, if the server was presented with the name “www.teklogix.com”, it would return the IP address: “207.219.2.3”.DNS Resolver Enabled When this parameter is enabled (√), the 9150 will use the DNS Name Server identi-fied by the IP address entered in the DNS Name Server parameter.DNS Default Domain This is the default domain name for this 9150.DNS Name Server This is the IP address of the designated DNS Name Server.

Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationTekLAN Parameters50 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual4.2.1.1 RadioRadio TypeThe type of PC radio card installed on the 9150 is dependent on your wireless net-work. This parameter should be set to the installed radio. The radios for TekLAN are the TekLAN 902 MHz DS Spread Spectrum, and the TekLAN 2.4 GHz DS Spread Spectrum.Important: If changing radio types in the 9150, DO NOT “hot swap” the PC cards: turn the 9150 off before changing the radio. Following this, when changing the Radio Type parameter, the unit must be powered OFF and ON again (“cold” rebooted). Rebooting with the Reboot Unit option will not implement the radio parameter change.Data RateThis parameter determines the data (baud) rate for the radio channel. This is a decimal value in bits per second. The acceptable value for the Data Rate parameter differs depending on the type of radio installed in the 9150. •TekLAN 902 MHz DS SS: 122 kbps.•TekLAN 2.4 GHz DS SS: 1 Mbps.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 51Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationTekLAN ParametersChannel n EnabledThese parameters are used to enable ( √ ) or disable a channel. The number of chan-nels available is determined by the type of radio installed. See “PC Card Radios” on page 145 for the number of available channels for each radio type.Active ChannelThis parameter determines the current default radio channel.Range The federal agencies, Industry Canada and the Federal Communications Commis-sion in the United States, as well as other country-specific agencies world-wide, regulate the use of radio frequencies to ensure that communication conflicts are avoided. See “PC Card Radios” on page 145 for the assigned frequencies for each radio type.The Range parameter determines which channels can be enabled and is set accord-ing to the approved frequency range in the country where the system is installed. The TekLAN 902 MHz radio is only assigned the 902 MHz frequency. For the TekLAN 2.4 GHz radio, the frequency range and the associated channels and countries are assigned as follows:Table 4.1 Frequency Range  TekLAN 2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum (TRX7425)Enable CardThis parameter enables the PC card ( √ ). The card may be disabled temporarily when, for testing purposes, it is required that there be no radio interference.Auto StartupThis parameter enables ( √ ) polling immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. If Auto Startup is disabled, the 9150 will wait until polling is initialized from the network controller. When the 9150 is operating as a Wlan base station under a network con-troller, this parameter should be disabled.Country Range Channels AvailableFor testing purposes only. 2412-2462 1 to 6Canada, U.S., U.K. 2422-2462 2 to 6Australia 2422-2442 2 to 4
Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationTekLAN Parameters52 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual4.2.1.2 Wireless LAN ParametersThe Wlan protocol can only be used with spread spectrum radios.Important: If your system is using the Wlan protocol, make sure that Operate in Cellular Mode is enabled (see page 72) in the Radio Link Features sub-menu and that cellular mode is also set on the 9400/9300 Network Controller.Base NumberThis parameter is used to assign a unique address to each base station. As the termi-nals move from one base station to another, this address is transmitted by the base stations to the terminals, identifying each 9150 on a multiple base station system. The allowable range of base station numbers is 1 to 64.TimeoutThis value is used to adjust Wlan performance and should be set to 10.Max PriorityThis value is used to adjust Wlan performance and should be set to 20.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 53Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationNarrow Band Radio ParametersBase Priority (TekLAN 2.4 GHz)The Base Priority parameter determines the number of priority transmit slots reserved for each base station. The allowable range for this parameter is 0 to 100. For optimal performance, this parameter should be set to a value of 2.Message Duration (TekLAN 2.4 GHz)This parameter controls the duration of transmit slots to optimize communications and decrease the likelihood of collisions. A Message Duration value of 1 translates into a slot duration of 130 micro seconds. The allowable range for this parameter is 2 to 200. For optimal performance, this parameter should be set to 15.Offline TimeoutThis parameter determines the time in minutes that a terminal is allowed to be inac-tive before the 9150 declares it offline. 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 any message. Values for this parameter range from 0 to 100. If the parameter is set to 0, terminals are never declared offline. 4.2.2 Narrow Band Radio ParametersThe pull-down menu shown for the Interfaces option on the 9150 Configuration Main Menu page indicates which interfaces have been detected in use. For the selec-tion “Slot A: Teklogix Narrowband”, entering the “Configure” dialog box will open the parameters pages for the TRX7370 Narrow Band PC card radio. These pages list the polling protocol and radio parameters, and show the radio card’s permanent communications settings.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 55Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationNarrow Band Radio ParametersEnable CardThis parameter enables the PC card ( √ ). The card may be disabled temporarily when, for testing purposes, it is required that there be no radio interference.Important: If changing radio types in the 9150, DO NOT “hot swap” the PC cards: turn the 9150 off before changing the radio. Auto-StartupThis parameter enables ( √ ) polling immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. If Auto Startup is disabled, the 9150 will wait until polling is initialized from the network controller. Shared ChannelShared Channel is only used in Holland to accommodate government requirements. When enabled ( √ ), it imposes timing restrictions for polling. Every 2 seconds of polling is followed by 0.5 seconds of silence—no polling occurs. Further, if another carrier is detected on the channel, the 9150 will cease radio trans-missions on that channel until the path is clear.
Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationNarrow Band Radio Parameters56 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual4.2.2.1 Polling Protocol ParametersNumber of Poll WindowsThis parameter defines the number of poll windows the 9150 will use. The value assigned to this parameter is dependent on the number of terminals and the radio link protocol used.Table 4.2 indicates how the value assigned to the Number of Poll Windows parame-ter is determined.Table 4.2 Number Of Poll Windows  Cellular ProtocolSize of Poll WindowsThe value assigned to this parameter determines the largest message that can be passed between the 9150 and the terminal in a normal poll window. The window size can be adjusted to accommodate anywhere from 4 to 32 characters.Number of Terminals Minimum # of Windows1-16 217-81 382-256 4
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 57Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationNarrow Band Radio ParametersLarger windows increase the polling period and can increase the response time. Smaller windows increase the number of message and long message polls, and can also increase the response time. Important: In “Cellular” mode, the minimum value for this parameter is 8.Maximum Message Segment SizeThis parameter determines the largest single message that can be passed to a terminal in message mode or from a terminal in long message mode. In a 9150 base station, the value entered in this parameter must be greater than or equal to the value entered in the network controller or 9150 mini-controller. The range of this parame-ter is between 32 and 116 characters. (Longer messages are broken into several packets.) The default value is 100.Number of RetriesThis parameter determines how many times the 9150 attempts to resend a message if an acknowledgement is not received from the terminal. (These retries do not necessarily occur in consecutive polls because incomplete messages are returned to the bottom of the message queue.) After all retries have been exhausted, the terminal is declared “offline”. The 9150 does not transmit any messages to the terminal until the terminal declares itself “online”. The allowable values range from 1 to 7.Collision SizeThis parameter reduces the probability that random noise on the radio link will be interpreted as a collision between terminals. Response time increases when the 9150 resolves collisions unnecessarily.Collision Size places an upper limit on the number of characters that are received prior to the receipt of an error message (CRC, CD lost, etc.). If eight is the value of this parameter, eight or less characters followed by an error message appearing over the radio link are considered noise. If there are more than eight characters, it is con-sidered a collision. Acceptable values range from 3 to 15.Free Window FactorThe value entered in this parameter determines if “free window mode” will be used. In free window mode, all terminals transmit in the free poll window instead of the window to which they are normally assigned.
Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationNarrow Band Radio Parameters58 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualEntering a value of 0 (zero) in this parameter disables free window mode. Increas-ing the value of this parameter increases the likelihood of a message being transmit-ted in the free window.Message Mode LimitThis parameter defines an upper limit to the number of messages that must be queued for transmission before message mode polling starts. Accepted values range from 0 to 7, where 0 disables message mode.Note: The number of terminals and past events are also part of the algorithm that determines whether or not to start message mode.Callsign PeriodA call sign is periodically transmitted as an audible Morse code signal. This parameter specifies the interval in minutes between call sign transmissions. Acceptable values range from 0 to 60. The federal agencies, Industry Canada and the Federal Communications Commission in the United States, require that each system transmit its own identification call sign every 15 minutes.In countries where a call sign is not required, setting this parameter to 0 prevents the transmission of any call signs, allowing for shorter poll time-outs in terminals and faster channel switching.Callsign StringThis 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 transmit-ted call sign.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 59Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationNarrow Band Radio Parameters4.2.2.2 Radio ParametersSync DelayImportant: 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 milliseconds. The value assigned to this parameter must be compatible with other base stations and terminals in the system. The default setting of 22 is based on the requirements of a 2 level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud.Remote TxonRemote Txon accommodates the turn on time of the radio in the base station.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. When the baud rate is changed, this parameter automatically changes to the correct value.The value assigned to the Remote Txon parameter must be consistent across all terminals and base station equipment.Important: This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting without an understanding of the timing of the radio protocol.
Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationNarrow Band Radio Parameters60 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual4.2.2.3 Radio ChannelsActive ChannelThis parameter determines the operating radio channel of the 9150. The channel selected must be an enabled channel. Refer to Enabled Channels, below, for details.Enabled ChannelsThis parameter is used to enable ( √ ) or disable up to 20 channels – the maximum number of channels supported by the TRX7370 radio. Enabling a channel allows the channel to be set to an operating channel (Active Channel) and also makes the channel available for channel searching. If, for example, the operating channel is 1 and all other channels are enabled, terminals may roam through all 20 channels. Note that the Enabled Channels menu only displays channels that have been config-ured with frequencies. See page 62 for the list of associated frequencies.4.2.2.4 TRX7370 Radio Card ParametersEntering the “Get Card Parameters” dialog box will open the list of General, Fre-quencies, and Tuning Values parameters for the TRX7370 Narrow Band PC card radio.

When the 9150 acts as a base station, it uses the 9010 protocol (a proprietary protocol developed by Teklogix) with either a TCP/IP or serial connection to com-municate with a 9400 or 9300 Network Controller, or a host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit (TSDK). This protocol 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 or 9300 Network Controller, TSDK, TESS or ANSI.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 com-municate with ANSI hosts. For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a mini-controller, please refer to Chapter 5: “Mini-Controller Configuration”.Protocols are the methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various physical media such as Ethernet, Token Ring, and serial connections, as well as radio-link connections. The 9150 supports the TCP/IP protocol.

The IP Address must be a unique value so that each slave base station can be iden-tified 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.ProtocolIAC/EOR (TCP/IP) is the default protocol for the Ethernet or Token Ring connection.
Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationRadio Link Features72 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualMessage SizeMessage 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-StartupWhen 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.4.6 Radio Link FeaturesFrom the Radio Link Features option under Base Station Configuration (see Figure 4.2 on page 48), entering “Configure” will open the “Radio Link Features” page for the polling and cellular parameters.Operate in Cellular ModeTo operate as a Wlan base station, this parameter should be enabled ( √ ). For further information see “Wlan Protocol” on page 8.Note: The 9400 or 9300 Network Controller must also be set to cellular mode.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 73Chapter 4: Base Station ConfigurationRadio Link FeaturesPoll 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 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.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, 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 TekTermEnabling 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.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 77Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationOverview5.1 OverviewThe network controller in a Teklogix system performs a number of important tasks. 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 mini-controller. 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 9400/9300 Network Controller.Important: 9150s acting as mini-controllers are designed for small, low-transaction sites. A 9400/9300 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 or Token Ring LAN.•3274 emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN.•ANSI emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN.Note: The 9150 main parameters should first be set up as described in Chapter 3: “9150 Main Configuration”.

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.Protocols are the methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various physical media such as Ethernet, Token Ring, and serial connections, as well as radio-link connections. The 9150 supports the TCP/IP protocol.

When the 9150 acts as a base station, it uses the 9010 emulation (a proprietary asyn-chronous protocol developed by Teklogix) to communicate with a 9300 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 4: “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 com-municate with ANSI terminals.Terminal RangeThe values entered in this parameter designate the first and last terminals in the range of terminals that will communicate with the host.

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 79 for an enlarged illustration). Figure 5.2 Overview Of Host Menus
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 83Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationGeneral OptionsAs illustrated in Figure 5.2 on page 82, 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 proto-col 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 proto-col 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; the Protocol Options parameters do not apply to the 9010/TCP/IP emulation.5.3.1 General OptionsIn this page, you can select general options for this host connection. The host con-nection may also be deleted.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration9010 EmulationsEmulation Options84 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualName This parameter allows you to enter a name for the new 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. Terminal Range This parameter allows you to specify the range of terminals which will communi-cate 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 50.5.3.2 9010 EmulationsWhen the 9150 acts as a base station, it uses the 9010 protocol (a proprietary asyn-chronous protocol developed by Teklogix) to communicate with a 9400 or 9300 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 4: “Base Station Configuration”.5.3.3 3274/Telnet 5.3.3.1 Emulation OptionsThe 9150 mini-controller displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the 3274/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection.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.

Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation Options86 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualIs Host Fujitsu If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller sends its data in Fujitsu format. 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 parame-ter (see page 95). 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 high-light 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 ter-minals 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 87Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation OptionsPreparing Host Screens for Pass-ThroughOn 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: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 exe-cuted 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. 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
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation Options88 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualNote: 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 fea-ture, 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 let-ters) 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.Figure 5.3 Application Screen With Print Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9101112131415161718192021222324Display Page (8 x 40) Print Page (8 x 40) PRINT
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 89Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation OptionsNotes: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 7030/8055/8060 Terminals User Manual for more information.Remote PrintWhen this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the print page to a terminal when-ever 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: There is a corresponding parameter on the terminal itself, and the actual number of saved pages will be the smaller of the two values.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation Options90 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualTransmit 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.AIAGThis 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:<mode> <AIAG prefix(data)>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 5.1 on page 91. These modes are set at the host.

Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation Options92 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualWhen 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.Figure 5.5 AIAG Field Sent To The TerminalVisible Match CharacterBy 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 5.2 on page 93 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. Item No. IAIAG Information From Host To Terminal Screen@AIAG Prefix (data)AIAG Field Identifier
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 93Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation OptionsWhen 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.Table 5.2 Match CharactersExample: 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 CharacterUnlike 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 92 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.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.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetEmulation Options94 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualSerial 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 pre-ceding 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 LengthThis 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-input-only 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 95Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetProtocol OptionsField 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 86 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.5.3.3.2 Protocol OptionsThis 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 when you select the emulation/protocol combination of 3274/Telnet for this host.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration3274/TelnetProtocol Options96 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualTerminal 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.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.

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 ] charac-ters 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 109). 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 high-light 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.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 101Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetEmulation OptionsBy 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 ter-minals 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-ThroughOn 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: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 7030/8055/8060 Terminals User Manual for information about setting parameters on the terminal for pass-through. 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
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetEmulation Options102 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualProcedures 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 exe-cuted 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 fea-ture, 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 let-ters) 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 5.6 on page 103). 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.

Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetEmulation Options104 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualPages 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 con-troller. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the terminal over theradio 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.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 105Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetEmulation OptionsThe format of the preloaded data is as follows:<mode> <AIAG prefix(data)>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.Table 5.3 Mode Functions And AIAG Prefix DescriptionMode Function0Display prefix, send prefix to host.1Do not display prefix, send prefix to host.2Display prefix, do not send prefix to host.3Do not display prefix, do not send prefix to host.+4Add 4 to above values to cause transmit to host when all AIAG fields with 4 set are filled.

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.Figure 5.8 AIAG Field Sent To The TerminalVisible 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 #> ___________Item No. @0AIAG Information From HostAIAG Prefix (data)ModeAIAG Field IdentifierIItem No. IAIAG Information From Host To Terminal Screen@AIAG Prefix (data)AIAG Field Identifier
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 107Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetEmulation OptionsThe 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.Table 5.4 Match CharactersCharacter 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.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetEmulation Options108 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualExample: 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 106 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 pre-ceding 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 LengthThis parameter sets the printer’s form length in lines. The range is 0 to 24.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 109Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetEmulation OptionsBarcode 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-input-only 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.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetProtocol Options110 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualCurrently, the only command supported is ALARM (refer to page 100 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.5.3.4.2 Protocol OptionsThis 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 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.Host Port This parameter allows you to enter a host port value for the selected 5250/Telnet host connection. The default value is 23.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 111Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetProtocol OptionsMaximum 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 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. The default value is 0.Actively Negotiate with Host If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 negotiates with the host during setup of the telnet connection.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller Configuration5250/TelnetFunction Key Mappings112 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual5.3.4.3 Function Key MappingsThis 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 113Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationANSI/TelnetEmulation Options5.3.5 ANSI/Telnet 5.3.5.1 Emulation OptionsThe 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection.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.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 parameter (page 115) must be enabled in order to change the value in the Host Timeout parameter.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationANSI/TelnetEmulation Options114 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualEscape 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 parameter (page 115) 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.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 the7030/8055/8060 Terminals User Manual).
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 115Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationANSI/TelnetEmulation OptionsANSI If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses ANSI escape code filtering. When escape-code filtering is enabled, ANSI escape codes not supported by the terminals will be filtered out of the data stream to reduce radio traffic. The terminals currently support most, if not all, standard ANSI escape sequences, so this parame-ter should be disabled in most cases.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 121).Page 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.Note: When page saving is enabled, the number of saved pages is that which is set on the terminal. Refer to the 7030/8055/8060 Terminals User Manual for details.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-charac-ter escape sequences with a single equivalent character, compressing the data.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 117Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationANSI/TelnetProtocol OptionsTerminal Type This parameter specifies the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150, either a VT100 or VT200.Host Port This parameter specifies the value for the host port for the selected ANSI host con-nection. 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 specifies the port number from which the 9150 attempts a telnet con-nection 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 lowest port number at which the 9150 listens for telnet connections initiated by the host. The default value is 10000.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.
Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationANSI/TelnetProtocol Options118 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualSession 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 ses-sions from terminals to this host. The choices provided are: Disable; Enable Auto-telnet; Enable 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 termi-nal 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: The User ID and Password is identical for all Auto-telnet sessions automatically logged in to this host.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 119Chapter 5: Mini-Controller ConfigurationANSI/TelnetProtocol OptionsAuto-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 charac-ters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default is no text, just press <ENTER> 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 15 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 15 characters. 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 15 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.

The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 15 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 15 characters. The default text is incorrect . Note: The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the failed-login prompt.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 129Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationMAC Bridge Parameters6.3 MAC Bridge ParametersThe MAC Bridge parameters consist of protocol filters which direct the 9150 to forward or discard frames that contain a known protocol type. This enables the 9150 to be selective of what type of frames will be bridged over the radio, in order to limit the amount of data on busy networks. Filtering frames is based on the protocol infor-mation in the frame. This is discussed in detail in “Protocol Filters” on page 133.The MAC Bridge Parameters page is entered from the Access Point Configuration menu on the first page.
Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationMAC Bridge Parameters130 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualFigure 6.2 below charts the pages for the MAC bridge filters. Entering “OK” or “Cancel” in the individual Filter pages will return you to the Bridge Parameters page.Figure 6.2 Overview Of MAC Bridge Configuration Menus
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 131Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationGeneral Configuration6.3.1 General ConfigurationAddress Filters EnabledThe checkbox in this parameter enables or disables the Address Filters function. If filtering is enabled ( √ ), the 9150 can filter out frames based on destination MAC addresses. The list of MAC addresses for filtering is set by the Address Filters option on page 132. Frames are filtered and either forwarded or discarded, depending on the rest of the settings in this configuration. If filtering is disabled, no filtering will be done based on MAC addresses.Protocol Filters EnabledThe checkbox in this parameter enables or disables the Protocol Filters function. If filtering is enabled ( √ ), frames are filtered and either forwarded or discarded, depending on the rest of the settings in this configuration. If filtering is disabled, no filtering will be done based on protocol frames.
Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationAddress Filters: MAC Address132 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User ManualProtocol Default ActionThis parameter determines which Protocol Default Action (discard or forward) will be performed when the Protocol Filters are enabled. Each Protocol Filter (see page 133) also has a forward/discard action associated with it. If a frame does not match any of the filters set in the Protocol Filters configuration, then it will take the Protocol Default Action selected in this parameter. For example, the Protocol Default Action may be to discard all frames. If a type field is matched in the configuration database, and the Filters action is forward, the frame will be passed on. If the field is not matched, then the frame will be dis-carded. Therefore if you want only IP frames forwarded, after selecting the appro-priate IP Type in the Ethernet II Filters (see page 136) the discard setting here will drop all frames containing other protocol types.Important: If Protocol Filters Enabled is checked, and the Protocol Default Action is discard, an HTTP browser will not be able to access the 9150’s configuration pages unless an ARP filter is defined to forward ARP packets. To do this, configure Ethernet II Filters to forward pro-tocol type 0x0806 (ARP) packets (see page 136). Alternatively, you can create a static entry in the ARP table on the computer that is running the browser.6.3.2 Address Filters: MAC AddressThe 9150 can use a list of destination MAC addresses to filter out frames. The MAC addresses are those of any terminals associating with the 9150. If Address Filters on page 131 is enabled, then any frame destined for any address in the list will be for-warded. If an address is not on the list when Address Filters is enabled, the frame will be discarded. Addresses are added to the filter list by entering the “Configure” dialogue box from the Bridge Parameters menu. NameThis is any name you wish to use to describe this terminal.AddressThis parameter provides the corresponding MAC address for the terminal.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 133Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationProtocol Filters6.3.3 Protocol FiltersWhen the 9150 receives frames, it can forward or discard the messages by filtering the protocol Type fields encapsulated in the frame. The filtering is done on three types of Ethernet headers: Ethernet II, LLC and SNAP. Figure 6.3 on page 134 illustrates the Ethernet header formats. The parameters to configure these filters are described in the sections which follow. Notes:1. Although both LLC and SNAP headers are filtered on Ethernet and Token Ring networks, Ethernet headers are not filtered on Token Ring.2. Throughout these menus, the values for all the protocol types are, by convention, entered in hexadecimal, preceded by “0x”. The fields for a basic IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame consist of a six-byte destination MAC address, followed by a six-byte source MAC address, and a two-byte protocol Type. The final fields in a frame are the Data field and the FCS field (Frame Check Sequence, or CRC). If the Type field contains a value that is greater than or equal to
Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationProtocol Filters134 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual“0x0600”, it is assumed to be the protocol identifier for an Ethernet II header. This field is used to determine which protocol is being used in the frame, and this is what can be filtered (see “Ethernet II Filters” on page 136).If the protocol Type is less than “0x05DC”, then the value is interpreted as a Length field instead. It is assumed that an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) header is to follow the Length. This header consists of the Destination Service/Source Service Access Point (DSAP/SSAP) and Control fields (see “LLC Filters” on page 137).If the DSAP and SSAP are both “0xAA”, and the Control field has a value of “0x03”, the LLC header will be followed by an extension which is a SNAP header. The SNAP header includes the Organizational Unit Identifier (OUI) and the protocol type (see “SNAP Filters” on page 138).Figure 6.3 Ethernet Frame TypesThe listboxes in the Protocol Filters option show the protocol filters already set in the configuration database.

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 139Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationProtocol Filters6.3.3.4 Storm DetectionThis filter parameter can prevent broadcast/multicast storms from spreading throughout the network. Network storms can burden radio traffic with unnecessary data transmissions.EnabledThis parameter enables ( √ ) or disables the Storm Detection filters.ThresholdThe maximum number of broadcast/multicast frames that should be received in one second is defined in this parameter. When that threshold is exceeded, a broadcast storm is declared. Every broadcast/multicast frame received will be discarded until it is determined that the storm is over (see Restart, below). Setting the value for Threshold is determined by the characteristics of your network. RestartThe broadcast storm is determined to be over when the number of broadcast frames received for a one second period is less than or equal to the value entered in this parameter. Setting the value for Restart is determined by the characteristics of your network.

Going to the Mobility Configuration page opens the IAPP Parameters options.
Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 141Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationMobility ConfigurationThe Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is an extension to the IEEE 802.11 protocol. In a multiple-9150 system, IAPP facilitates roaming of mobile stations among the 9150s, and enables communication and awareness between the 9150s. Every termi-nal is associated with one 9150, but it can reassociate with another 9150 to maintain uninterrupted communications. The association is “handed over” from one 9150 to the next. The newly-associated 9150 will receive the terminal’s data frames and pass them onto the LAN. Returning frames are no longer accepted by the original 9150, which has disassociated from that terminal. Returning frames are now accepted by the newly-associated 9150 and passed over the RF to the terminal. To implement these procedures and coordinate the 9150s, IAPP specifies two message types: Announce and Handover. In IAPP Announce procedures, when the 9150 is initialized, it sends an IP multicast message to inform the other 9150s in the network that it has become active. It also informs the other 9150s of its continued operation (‘alive’ status) by periodically multicasting the Announce beacon. The Handover protocol is intended to inform the old 9150 that a terminal has been associated with a new 9150, and to update the filter tables of intermediate MAC-bridges to correctly forward frames destined for the terminal. The newly-associated 9150 sends a Handover request to the old 9150, which disassociates itself and acknowledges the request.Important: These parameters are set with optimum default values. Do not adjust these values without discussing the effects with your Teklogix representative.
Chapter 6: Access Point ConfigurationIAPP Parameters142 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual6.4.1 IAPP ParametersAnnounce PeriodThe Announce Period parameter indicates the number of seconds between Announce broadcasts. For further information, see “Mobility Configuration” on page 140.Handover TimeoutIf there is no response to the Handover request by the 9150 within the time specified in the Handover Timeout parameter, the request is retransmitted. If no response is received after a number of retries (set in the Handover Retries parameter, below), the 9150 will complete the reassociation procedure itself. For further information, see “Mobility Configuration” on page 140.Handover RetriesThis parameter sets the number of times the 9150 will transmit a Handover request to the disassociated 9150, before it completes the association transfer itself. See also Handover Timeout, above.Delay DoubleThe Delay Double parameter doubles the amount of Handover Timeout between Handover Retries. For example, if the first retry is after 500 milliseconds, the next Handover request is sent after 1 second, followed by a retry after 2 seconds, etc.
