Introduction
Chapter 1 : Introduction
This chapter introduces the 5000 Mobile Terminal, its major hardware features, and its operational
network environment.
WHAT IS A 5000 MOBILE TERMINAL?
The WaveNet Model 5000 Mobile Terminal is a component of the WaveNet Radio Data Network
(WRDN) technology. This technology facilitates wireless data communications among mobile data
devices within a local area network environment.
The 5000 Mobile Terminal (MT) unit is a sophisticated wireless data terminal that is typically
mounted on a mobile vehicle.
The MT unit provides a touch screen interface for interactive multi-session communications with host
computer systems and their applications. The Mobile Terminal communicates to a host via a Model
7000 Base Controller unit. (see section on ‘Network Components’ in this chapter).
The MT unit is assembled with one of four available types of touch-sensitive display screens monochrome or color display for resistive or capacitive touch.
The MT unit provides connectivity to an external bar-code scanner, or to other external RS-232
devices such as a printer, process controller, etc.
The MT unit is typically powered by a separate DC power source (10 to 50 Volts) which is carried on
the vehicle.
Figure 1-1 shows the front view of an MT unit with a directly connected ¼ wave whip antenna. The
antenna can be mounted separately from the MT unit mount by using appropriate cabling.

Figure 1-2 Bottom View of the 5000 Mobile Terminal
Input/Output Ports
The MT unit provides one RF port at the antenna connector (see Figure 1-1). The unit also provides
one Console port (for servicing the unit), a bar-code scanner port, a keyboard port, and a voice port at
the bottom of the unit (see Figure 1-2).
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 1-2
Introduction
RF Port
This port uses an RF connector, type SMA bulkhead jack, to connect a radio antenna that matches the
installed radio technology transceiver. A wave whip antenna can be directly attached at the connector
or, indirectly, via a length of RG-58/U 50 Ohm coaxial cable (usually attached to a magnetic mount for
the antenna). The coaxial connectors are typically ‘reverse threaded’ to prevent an inappropriate
antenna from being inadvertently attached.
Console Port
The console (external interface) port (20 pins) provides a servicing interface for the configuring,
testing, monitoring, and reporting functions that can be applied to the MT unit. This port supports full
RS-232 modem functionality for remote servicing.
This port is disabled when the Scanner Port is enabled.
Scanner Port
The scanner port is RS-232 compatible, and is mainly used to attach a bar-code laser scanner. This
port can also be used for other serial input/output applications. This port is enabled via the BarCode
menu item of the Presentation Manager’s Local menu.
Keyboard Port
The keyboard port is used to attach an external PC compatible keyboard to serve as an alternative to
the touch screen pop-up keyboards.
The  key on a connected external keyboard is equivalent to the touch -screen’s
<2nd> key.
Voice Port
The voice port is used to attach a speaker/microphone unit for voice communications with other MT
units, which are similarly configured. Voice communication is via point-to-point analog radio signal.
The voice radio channel is enabled/disabled via the Voice menu item of the Presentation’s Manager’s
Global menu.
Note that when the voice channel is active, the data channel is inactive.
Touch Screen Types
The MT unit is assembled with one of four available types of touch-sensitive display screens monochrome or color display for resistive or capacitive touch. The display screen is a liquid crystal
display (LCD) with diffused Cold Cathode Florescent Tube (CCFT) back lighting. Covering the
screen, is a transparent touch-sensitive layer.
The touch screen size is 12.2 inches diagonal (1024 x 1024 pixels). Within the screen area, is a 10.4
inches diagonal display area (640 x 480 pixels) which can be either VGA color (16 colors) or VGA
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)

Introduction
monochromatic (16 gray levels). Bordering the display area, is a dedicated colored keypad overlay. See
Figure 1-1.
Color displays offer more distinctive details than that of monochrome displays; whereas, monochrome
displays are more visible in direct sunlight than the color displays are.
Capacitive type touch-screens operate based on skin contact on a surface contact layer (contact alters
the local electrical capacitance to identify a cursor location). Dirty skin or screen surface, or excessive
moisture is detrimental to the touch capability.
Resistive type touch screens operate based on surface contact pressure (two separated transparent
conductive layers are pressed together at the contact point to identify a cursor location). These screens
can be operated via skin contact, or with gloved fingers or pointed objects. Operation of resistive
screens are tolerant of some surface grime.
The touch screen should not be touched for at least five seconds after the display
becomes visible after powering up, in order to allow the screen hardware to initialize
properly.
The touch screen should be kept clean (use a mild cleaning agent) and away from corrosive materials,
to ensure viewing clarity and dependable operation. The touch screen assembly does have a gasket
sealing the enclosure to prevent any moisture from entering and affecting any circuitry.
Enclosure
The MT unit is packaged in a dust and water-resistant enclosure with a poly-enamel finish. See Figure
1-1 for a front view of the enclosure.
The MT unit operates within a -10 to +40 degree Celsius temperature range and within a 5 to 95 %
relative humidity range.
The MT unit can be mounted directly to a frame, which is in turn connected via two horizontal pivot
pins to a cradle that is attached to the mobile vehicle. This assembly would provide tilt adjustment for
optimizing the viewing angle of the MT display screen. The assembly must be capable of supporting
the weight of the MT unit during shocks and vibrations incurred by the mobile vehicle.
The enclosure occupies a space 12.4 inches wide, 10.1 inches high, and 3.4 inches deep.
The following figure shows a MT unit attached to a pivot-type mount assembly.

WHAT IS THE WAVENET WIRELESS LAN?
The WaveNet Wireless LAN is a local area radio data network designed for scaleable, digital radio
data communications, which allows a variety of computer systems to communicate, interactively or
periodically, to a number of remote, mobile data devices.
A WaveNet Radio Data Network consists of a one or more 7000 Base Controllers, and combination of
WaveNet Radio Data Remote Devices.
7000 Base Controller
7000 Base Controllers connect to computer systems and provide zones of radio data coverage in
which Radio Data Remote Devices can utilize for radio data communications.
7000 Base Controllers can establish a network of overlapping or discrete radio data coverage zones if
they are interconnected by any combination of Ethernet LAN, serial SLIP, or wireless radio data links.
In such a network, any host computer system connected to any 7000 Base Controller is available to any
Radio Data Remote Device in any radio data coverage area as a 7000 Base Controller “service”.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 1-5
Introduction
Radio Data Remote Devices
Radio Data Remote Devices, when in the coverage zones of one or more 7000 Base Controllers,
utilize the radio data communications pathway to the various host computer systems connected to the
7000 Base Controllers. In such a manner, the Radio Data Remote Devices can :
?? Interact in real-time with software applications on one or more host computer systems as a
“dumb” terminal of the computer system extension (using a process called “emulation”);
and/or,
?? Periodically exchange text based data records with the computer system using a local program
in the Radio Data Remote Device.
Radio Data Remote Devices provided by WaveNet are :

Setting Up
Chapter 2 : Setting Up
This chapter discusses how to set up the 5000 Mobile Terminal to prepare for configuration,
monitoring, and advanced operations.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Before beginning any operation on the 5000 Mobile Terminal (MT) unit, the following items should be
checked:
?? Ensure that the MT enclosure is appropriately mounted. For vehicle mounting, it is
recommended that the MT display screen be positioned for optimal viewing angle. The MT
mounting assembly should be secure enough to withstand shocks and vibrations incurred by
vehicle motions. In addition, the power line cord should be secured against accidental removal
from the power source.
?? Ensure that the antenna is appropriately attached to the MT unit. The antenna may be directly
connected to the RF connector on the MT unit or remotely connected via a coaxial cable.
Ensure that every connection is ‘finger’ tight.
POWERING UP/DOWN
The MT unit accepts external DC power (10 - 50 Volts) via the DC power cable mounted on the
bottom of the enclosure (see Figure 1-2). DC power can be supplied from a properly fused DC source
or alternatively from an AC to DC converter.
? The MT unit should not be powered up without its antenna. Improper antenna port
termination causes impedance mismatches, which can reflect damaging levels of RF
power back to the transceiver.
Powering up the MT unit is accomplished by pressing the green push-button power ON/OFF switch.
The switch will release into the ON position and the switch indicator will turn on.
? When powering up the MT unit, do not touch the display for at least 5 seconds after the
display becomes visible. This allows the touch screen hardware to initialize properly.
Powering down the MT unit is accomplished by pressing the green push-button power ON/OFF
switch. The switch will latch into the OFF position and the switch indicator will turn off.
The MT unit provides RAM Backup for up to 48 hours. Thus, if the MT unit is powered down and
then powered up within the 48 hours, the most recent RAM memory entries will be restored.

Chapter 2-7
Setting Up
Restarting
The MT can be re-initialized via the touch screen by pressing the <2nd> key twice in rapid succession
followed by switching power OFF and then power ON in slower succession.
Upon restart, the terminal screen will be momentarily blurred while the operating system loads, the
terminal self-checks are performed, the hardware configurations are recognized, and the software startup sequence is initiated. The terminal will then display the Presentation Manager (P.M.) window and
the WaveNet logo. Touching any key on the overlay keypad will clear the logo and allow operation of
the terminal.
Do not rapidly cycle the DC power ON/OFF switch; this could disrupt touch screen
operation.

About Touch Responses
The touch screen area contains touch-sensitive and non-touch-sensitive areas. There are two types of
touch feedback; beep sound and graphic cursor.
In general, when you touch a window or the keypad overlay and then remove your contact, a beep
sound will occur to acknowledge that your touch has been recognized. There is no beep
acknowledgment when you touch a point on a non-window area within the display area.
Whenever you touch a touch-sensitive area, a cursor in the form of a cross will appear under the
contact point. Sliding the contact point across the display area will cause the touch cursor to track the
movement. When the touch contact is removed, the cursor will disappear.
The status bar is not touch-sensitive.
DISPLAY WINDOWS
Multiple display windows can appear on the touch screen at the same time. Each window has a
horizontal title bar along the top of the window. When a window is inactive, only the name of the
window shows in the title bar. When a window is active, the name of the window plus five window

Using Touch Screen Features
Alternately (see Chapter 4 - Using the Presentation Manager), you can switch windows by using the
Tasks or Global menu. Also, any particular arrangement of windows can be saved by enabling
security for the windows via the Tasks menu - this allows the windows arrangement to be
automatically presented whenever the MT unit is restarted
Window Controls
Any active window shows five window control buttons in its title bar. Each control button is touchsensitive while the title bar itself is not touch-sensitive.
In addition to the active window control buttons, there are two window scroll bar control tabs (~2x2
mm square); one along the bottom border and one along the right border.
The subsequent sections discuss the utilization of the following window control buttons and tabs:
??
??
??
??
??
??
Min/Max button (Square symbol)
Contrast buttons (Up-arrow & Down-arrow symbols)
Location button (Diamond symbol)
Size button (Plus-sign symbol)
Horizontal Scroll tab
Vertical Scroll tab
Some of these controls allow the re-sizing or re-positioning of a window. The re-sizing and repositioning controls can be disabled by enabling security for the window (see Chapter 4 - Using the
Presentation Manager).

Full/Partial Sizing
You can toggle the active window between the full size and a pre-set partial size, by repeatedly
touching the Min/Max button (Square symbol). A full sized window has no visible window border. A
partial sized window has a visible window border.
The full size covers the complete windows area of the touch-screen.
A partial size is set by using other controls. If there is no pre-set partial size, use the Global menu (see
Chapter 4 - Using the Presentation Manager) for tiling or cascading the current windows - this will
provide a default partial size. Then use the Size button (Plus-sign symbol) for incremental sizing, in
conjunction with the Location button (Diamond symbol) for incremental relocating if required.
Incremental Sizing
You can incrementally resize a partial sized active window by touching the Size button (Plus-sign
symbol), sliding the touch contact point across the touch screen to the desired location, and then
removing the touch which will cause the window to reappear with the new size.
The lower left corner location of the window remains unchanged, while the upper right corner moves to
the selected location. A window sizing operation can result in maintaining the original shape or in
creating a new shape.

Chapter 3-15
Using Touch Screen Features
Positioning
You can drag the active window from one location to another within the display area by touching the
Location button (Diamond symbol), sliding the touch contact point across the touch screen to the
desired location, and then removing the touch which will cause the window to reappear at the new
location.
The upper right corner of the window will be positioned at the new location.
Scrolling
Each partial sized window is framed with a border. Along each of the right vertical and bottom
horizontal borders is a square scroll tab.
You can incrementally scroll the window display by touching the Horizontal or Vertical scroll tab,
sliding the touch contact point along the border to the desired location, and then removing the touch
which will cause the window contents to redisplay at the new scroll setting.
Alternately, you can scroll vertically by using the C_UP or C_DOWN cursor keys in conjunction with
the <2nd> key, or scroll horizontally by using the C_LEFT or C_RIGHT cursor keys in conjunction
with the <2nd> key (see Figure 3-3).
Contrast Level
You can adjust the contrast level of the display area up or down by using any of the two Contrast
buttons (Up-arrow & Down-arrow symbols).
This adjustment facilitates optimal display viewing under particular ambient lighting conditions.
Menu Navigation
Each window type supports a unique pop-up menu structure just below the window’s title bar. A menu
structure consists of a pop-up menu bar and of various drop-down menu item lists.
You can initially pop up the menu bar for any active window by touching the  key on the
overlay keypad. The first menu item will be highlighted in reverse video - this indicates the current
location of the menu cursor.
You can move the menu cursor (navigate) within the menu of an active window by touching any visible
non-highlighted menu item. Touching a highlighted menu item will display a drop-down list of the next
lower level menu items. Menu items that are indented do not have drop-down lists. Non-indented menu
items do have drop-down lists.
Alternately, you can navigate the menu by using the cursor arrow keys on the overlay keypad for
left/right and up/down movement of the menu cursor.
Once the desired menu item has been located with the menu cursor (highlighted item), you can enable
the menu item by touching it again or by touching the  key.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 3-16
Using Touch Screen Features
You can remove each successive menu sub-level and eventually remove the menu bar from the active
window by repeatedly touching the  key.
The use of the  key can be password protected to prevent unauthorized access to the menus
(see the section on Security in Chapter 4).
POP-UP KEYBOARDS
The touch screen display area supports a variety of pop-up keyboards that are used for entering data.
The MT unit provides 10 standard pre-defined keyboards and up to 4 user-defined custom keyboards
(see Chapter 4 - Using the Presentation Manager). Only one keyboard can be popped up at a time.
You can pop up any keyboard by touching a specific overlay key or key sequence. These keys can be
user-assigned as hot keys (see the next section on Hot Keys). Hot keys can be exchanged, replaced or
removed. Removing a keyboard hot key assignment is a way of preventing the use of a particular
keyboard.
A list of all the available pop-up keyboards can be viewed via the Presentation Manager’s KB Assign
menu. Initially, the MT unit provides default hot key assignments to 6 of the 10 standard keyboards. A
default hot key assignment can be changed.
A popped up keyboard provides a text entry field with a flashing text cursor. You can enter text in the
entry field by touching the appropriate keys of the pop-up keyboard. Text editing keys are available on
the overlay keypad, as follows:
??  key for deleting a character
??  key for back space operation
??  key for inserting a character
To remove any popped up keyboard, touch the hot key(s), which displayed the keyboard, or touch the
screen anywhere outside the keyboard area and within the windows display area.
See Chapter 7 for information on how to design a custom keyboard.
HOT KEYS
A hot key or a hot key sequence is an available and unique overlay key or key sequence that can be
assigned to a valid menu item. You can use these hot keys as an alternate way of calling up the userassigned menu items.
You can assign hot keys to:
?? any standard or custom pop-up keyboard.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 3-17
Using Touch Screen Features
?? any Presentation Manager window Global menu item.
Once a hot key sequence has been assigned, you can use these keys, regardless of which window is
active.
Assigning
In general, you can use any overlay key or key sequence that is not already used for a pre-defined
function or hot key, to assign a new and unique hot key.
Typical examples of hot key sequences are as follows:
?? <2nd >
?? <2nd >
?? <2nd ><2nd >
<2nd > key sequence is equivalent to a  key and <2nd ><2nd > key
sequence is equivalent to a  key
Before assigning Hot keys to menu items, you should maximize the size of the active window, pop up
the menu bar , and select the menu item to be hot-keyed.
To assign a Hot key to a selected menu item, use the following typical procedure:
1) Touch the  key. A pop-up field for showing the current hot key sequence will be
displayed adjacent to the menu item.
2) Touch the <2nd> or  or  key and then touch the  key or any one of  keys. The selected hot key sequence will show in the pop-up key field. If this hot
key sequence already exists for another menu item, that menu item function will be enacted. In
this case, touch the  key twice and repeat the procedure while choosing another hot
key sequence.
3) Touch the  key. The selected menu item will now show the new hot key assignment.
Whenever the assigned hot keys are touched, the corresponding menu item function will be enacted.
The following example procedure illustrates assigning the hot key sequence <2nd> to the Tile
menu item in the Parameter Manager’s Global menu.
1)
2)
3)
4)
Select the Tile menu item.
Touch the  key.
Touch the <2nd>  key sequence.
Touch the  key.
From now on, whenever the key sequence <2nd>  is touched, the current windows will redisplay in a tiled arrangement.

Using Touch Screen Features
Removing
You can remove hot keys from assigned menu items.
To remove a hot key from a selected menu item, use the following procedure:
5) Touch the  key. A pop-up field for showing the current hot key sequence will be
displayed adjacent to the menu item.
6) Touch the  key (Back Space). The hot key sequence entry in the pop-up field will be
deleted.
7) Touch the  key. The selected menu item will no longer show a hot key assignment.
RADIO GAUGES
The MT unit provides a graphic display of diagnostic information about RF communications occurring
between the MT unit and a 7000 Base Controller or 6000 Access Point unit. The graphic display is in
the form of 4 horizontal bar gauges corresponding to 4 labeled indicators that appear on the Status Bar.
(See Figure 3-6) The gauge length indicates the activity level of a communication parameter.
The 4 parameter indicators are:
??
??
??
??
CD (Carrier Detection)
RX (Receiving Data)
ER (Experiencing DataCom Errors)

WINDOWS
You can view a list of the current touch screen windows by touching the Tasks menu bar item to drop
down a menu items list.
Listing
All the menu items below the menu item MenuPassword constitute the list of the current windows.
This list contains the P.M. (Presentation Manager) window entry, the Radio window entry, and at least
one Session window entry. The Session window is indicated by a user-defined name or by the default
name “WaveNet Demo”. There may be up to 8 Session window entries listed. Also, there may be a
Console window entry. The order of the window entries can change with any new activation of a
window.
Adjacent to each window entry, may be an optional assigned security level code (F1, F2, or F3). See
the section on Security in this chapter for details.
Touching any window entry twice, will make that window active (move it to the front of all the
windows).
Arranging
You can arrange all the listed windows in one of two standard ways; tiled or cascaded. Touch the
Global menu bar item, and then touch either the Tile or Casc menu item twice to tile or cascade the
current windows.
Alternately, you may use the assigned hot key sequence (see section on Hot Keys in Chapter 3).
Switching
You can activate either the next available window or the previous available window by touching the
Global menu bar item and then touching the NextApp or PrevApp menu item.
Alternately, you may use the assigned hot key sequence (see section on Hot Keys in Chapter 3).

SECURITY OPTIONS
Access to certain operations of the MT unit can be secured via user password and configuration level
assignments.
Passwords
There are two types of passwords:
?? Log-on: this prevents unauthorized use of the complete MT unit.
?? Window menus: this prevents unauthorized access to the menu bars of windows, with F2 or
F3 configuration level assignments that have menu protection currently enabled.
Log-on
You may assign a new log-on password if you have access to the P.M. window (i.e. there is no
previous password assigned or a current password is known) and access to the menu bar (i.e. this
window does not have menu protection enabled). Any password is case-sensitive. In addition, you may
remove the current password if you have access to the menu bar.
To assign a new log-on password, use the procedure:
1) Touch the Tasks menu bar item.
2) Touch twice, the Password menu item. A text entry keyboard (New password) will pop up for
about 10 seconds, within which you must enter your password (up to 7 characters) and touch
the  key. You will then be prompted with “Confirm password:”; you must re-enter
your password and touch the  key before a 10 second time-out.
3) Touch the Local menu bar item.
4) Touch the WritePrms menu item to write the password to the MT unit’s configuration
memory.
Whenever you restart the MT unit, you will be prompted for a password.
To remove the current password, use the procedure:
Repeat all the steps to assigning a new password, except do not enter any text characters.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 4-24
Using the Presentation Manager
Whenever you restart the MT unit, there will be no prompt for a password.
Window Menus
You may assign a new window menus password if you have access to the P.M. window’s menu bar.
Any password is case-sensitive. In addition, you may remove the current password if you know the
password.
This password is used in conjunction with windows which have F2 or F3 configuration level
assignments (see the section on Configuration Levels, in this chapter).
This password can be assigned and saved once, but be enabled each time after each use. This feature
allows a user to quickly protect against unauthorized access to particular window menu bars in the
event that the MT unit is temporarily unattended.
To assign a new menus password, use the procedure:
1) Touch the Tasks menu bar item.
2) Touch twice, the MenuPassword menu item. A text entry keyboard (New password) will pop
up for about 10 seconds, within which you must enter your password (up to 7 characters) and
touch the  key. You will then be prompted with “Confirm password:”; you must reenter your password and touch the  key before a 10 second time-out.
3) Touch the Local menu bar item.
4) Touch the WritePrms menu item to write the password to the MT unit’s configuration
memory.
To remove the current password, use the procedure:
Repeat all the steps to assigning a new password, except do not enter any text characters.
To enable the menu password protection, use the procedure:
1) Touch the Tasks menu bar item.
2) Touch twice, the Protect menu item. This will enable the menu password protection without
having to reboot the MT unit. That is, whenever the  key is touched for an active
window that is assigned a configuration level of F2 or F3, a text entry keyboard will pop up
and prompt for a password. Once a valid password has been entered, touching the  key
again will pop up the menu bar, and the protection will be disabled.
Configuration Levels
A configuration security level can be assigned (similar to hot key assignment) to any window listed in
the Tasks drop-down menu items list. There are three possible assignments that define increasing limits
to window functionality:
?? F1
?? F2
- No limits to window functionality.
- Menu password protection is available.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 4-25
Using the Presentation Manager
?? F3
- Only full screen operation is allowed, and menu password protection is available.
The configuration security level of the active window is indicated on the Status Bar. The square
appearing at the left of the radio gauges contains the current security level number.
To assign a configuration security level to a selected window, use the procedure:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Touch the Tasks menu bar item.
Touch the applicable window menu item.
Touch the  key.
Touch the  or  or  key for level 1or 2 or 3.
Touch the  key.
See also, the section on Hot Keys, in Chapter 3.
Ensure that the menu password is also assigned (see previous section on Window Menus, in this
chapter).
TOUCH SCREEN CALIBRATION
The resistive or capacitive touch membrane covering the display surface may be calibrated for position
accuracy. This procedure is not required on a regular basis and should only be undertaken if you are
certain the calibration has drifted over time. Reasons for it drifting may include exposure to extremes
of temperature or an extended shelf life where the pre-set calibration has been lost.
Checking for Calibration
Place your finger or other object in the case of resistive screens on the touch screen. A cursor should
appear underneath if the screen is in calibration. If not the cursor will appear offset somewhere else on
the screen.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 4-26
Using the Presentation Manager
Figure 4-1 Offset Cursor
There are degrees of drift in calibration. If the calibration is not serious you will be able to use the
screen to re-calibrate. Do this by dragging your finger across the screen until the cursor is over the
menu item you want. Where the drift has been large or where the settings have been lost you will need
to use a keyboard to reset them.
Using the Touch Screen to Re-Calibrate
Using the Presentation Manager window select the Local option. This will display a menu item named
‘Calibrate’. Touch this twice to activate the option. A window opens up on the lower left portion of
the screen containing values representing the touch co-ordinates. You are asked to touch the upper
right (UR) corner and then the lower left (LL) corner in turn. This action gives the unit co-ordinates
for the screen. In the Local Menu select ‘WritePrms’ to save the new settings. Complete the process by
touching ‘Mode’ to exit the Local Menu.
If your unit has a resistive screen there is an additional step. In the Tasks Menu select ‘Protect’ and
then exit.

From there use the arrow keys to navigate the menu items and follow the procedure outlined in the
preceding paragraph – Using the Touch Screen to Re-calibrate.
Removing the Co-ordinate Window
The cursor co-ordinate window remains on the screen. To remove it Select ‘Touch’ in the Debug
Menu and then ‘Mode’ to exit. For capacitive units this completes the calibration procedure.
BARCODE TOGGLING
The bar code scanner may be toggled on or off at any time. The action of going from one state to the
other is known as ‘toggling’.
To use this feature select the Program Manager window and in it the Local Menu item.
From the Local menu select BarCode. A diamond will appear against it indicating selection.

RADIO\SETUP MENU ITEMS
Radio Operational Parameters (Parameters Menu Items)
You can modify any of the main radio parameters by selecting the Parameters menu item in the Setup
menu.
The radio parameters are as follows (Narrow Band):
HeaderSize
Channel
ChanSelect
NodeAddress
The number of radio message headers to be transmitted before actual message
transmission begins (default = 12).
The first radio channel number used when the 5000 initializes (default = 1).
The channels and which the 5000 can search when in cellular operation (default =
1, non-cellular mode). Since any channel number is a single digit, the channel
numbers can be entered with no spaces or commas. For example, 234
represents channel numbers 2, 3, and 4. The order of entry is the search order used
by the 3000 when a cellular search is performed.
A unique network node address number (1 - 65555) for the 5000.

One of three possible rates: 14.4 Kbps, 9600 bps, or 7200 bps. Only one can be
selected.
Bit Rate
The first four parameters are each entered via a numeric keyboard which pops up when the
corresponding menu item is selected. The fifth parameter is one item selected from the three
corresponding menu items.
These parameters are only slightly different for the WaveNet Wireless LAN 900 MHz Spread
Spectrum systems:
Channel
ChanSelect
NodeAddress
The first radio channel number used when the 5000 initializates (default = 1).
The channels and which the 5000 can search when in cellular operation (default =
1, non-cellular mode). Since any channel number is a single digit, the channel
numbers can be entered with no spaces or commas. For example, 234
represents channel numbers 2, 3, and 4. The order of entry is the search order used
by the 3000 when a cellular search is performed.
A unique network node address number (1 - 65555) for the 5000.
In the WaveNet Wireless LAN Spread Spectrum systems, the Header and Bit Rate parameters are not
used, as these configurations are pre-set.
There are few parameters necessary for WaveNet Wireless LAN 2.4 GHz (Aironet) Spread
Spectrum systems. These parameters are available only on the Command Line Interface, accessible on
the Console Port of the terminal:
Command *
Power Save Mode
Syntax

Value
0 = CAM (default)
1 = PSP
2 = Fast PSP
Text Name (default = tsunami)
Text Name (default = none)
* Refer to PC4500 User Manual
? “> air P” is used to save any changed parameter settings.
The SSID in the Aironet Access Point configuration must match the SSID configured in
the WaveNet Terminal. If this condition is not met, then the WaveNet terminal will not
“associate” with the Aironet Access Point and no radio data communications will result.
If no SSID (SSID of “”) is set in the WaveNet Terminal, then it will freely associate with
any Aironet Access Point. However, this may not be desirable in all installations.

Narrow Band Frequencies (Frequencies Items)
If a Narrow Band radio has been installed, the available radio frequencies are determined by the
frequencies licensed and assigned to the site. These frequencies need to be assigned to specific
channels. The assignments can be in any order.
You may assign a licensed frequency to a channel by selecting the Frequencies menu item in the Setup
menu, which will produce a list of 8 channel numbers. Selecting a 'channel number' menu item will pop
up a numeric keyboard. Enter a frequency (MHz) in the format of xxx.xxxx.
Parameter Cloning (CloneParam’s Items)
The WaveNet Wireless LAN technology allows the cloning of one 5000’s parameter setup (excluding
terminal-unique parameters) onto one or more other 5000s in the network, via radio data transmission.
To clone the current parameter setup, use the procedure:
1) Select the CloneParam’s menu item in the Setup menu.
2) Select the NewVer menu item, which will pop up a numeric keyboard. Add 1 to the current
value and enter the new value.
3) Select the OldVer menu item, which will pop up a numeric keyboard. Add 1 to the current
value and enter the new value.
4) Enable each of the menu items, Debug, AllVersions, and Reboot.
5) Activate the menu item Clone - this will cause the 5000 to transmit it’s current parameter
setup to other receptive 5000s.
RADIO\TEST MENU ITEMS
Test options are available for analyzing or troubleshooting radio operations. Testing is done by
WaveNet certified technical support personnel. The test parameters are accessed via the Tests menu
and are not applicable to all radio systems. This menu allows the following actions:
?? Selecting a test radio frequency (Frq:).
?? Adjusting RF Power output, Speaker volume level, Deviation, or frequency (Freq.) error. Each
of these adjustments are accomplished by pressing the Tab Right key for increasing a value or

RADIO/ASSIGNKEY MENU ITEMS
The AssignKey menu item provides a way of assigning a text string up to 15 characters to any key on
the overlay keypad. The assignment allows the repeated entry of a text string by using only one or two
keys.
RF SITE SURVEY KEYS
Narrow Band and 900 MHz Radio Site Surveys
An RF site survey involves the transmitting of pre-defined messages to a reference terminal which
returns the messages - the ensuing statistics provide the RF coverage measurements.
Three Function keys F3, F4, and F8 are reserved for RF site surveys whenever the Radio window is the
active window. A site survey is done by WaveNet certified technical support personnel. These function
keys will only perform the described operations when the Menu Bar is not being used.
Pressing the F3 key will pop up (or remove) a dialogue box for entering site identification information
and modifying any site survey parameters. Pop-up keyboards are used for entering data. You may
select (activating a text cursor) any data field by pressing it or move across the data fields by pressing
the cursor arrow keys or the tab keys.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 5-37
Using the Radio Manager
Pressing the F4 key will toggle the text cursor between the dialogue box and the Radio window screen.
The text cursor must be removed from the dialogue box before using the F3 key to remove the dialogue
box.
Pressing the F8 key will start (or stop) the site survey test.
2.4 GHz (Aironet) Radio Site Surveys
Site survey facilities described above are not available with 2.4 GHz (Aironet) radio systems. The
Aironet 2.4 GHz radio system is an IP based radio network and must use IP based utilities. One such
utility, recommended for site survey use is the PING utility.
To use the PING utility, use the following steps:
1) Turn on the internal barcode reader in the Program Manager Menu system. If an internal
barcode reader is already installed, then this step is not necessary. Save the parameters and
reboot the terminal.
2) Switch to the CONSOLE task (automatically starts when the internal barcode reader is
enabled).
3) Use the DNS task to set a DNS Name for the test IP ( > dns set host  .
Note that the
4) Type “>ping ” and ENTER to start the PING test. Note the  is case

Chapter 5-38
Using the Radio Manager
Note that the PING command “ping –c10 AP15” can be easily set as a command key to save retyping
the command each time a test is conducted.
In general, 2.4 GHz systems are characterized by a rapid decrease in signal quality when the maximum
communications distance is exceeded (as dictated by environmental conditions). If the PING test does
not yield consistent results, and stops before the pre-set number of pings is completed, then the
coverage is likely not sufficient for normal operation.
As well, 2.4 GHz are easily blocked by metallic and non-metallic objects. Ensure that any failure of
the PING test (indicating inadequate coverage) is not simply a small “dead zone” by moving the
terminal several feet to a alternate location and repeat the test.

SESSION CLONING
The MT display is capable of presenting multiple sessions originating from multiple and disparate
hosts. This feature lets mobile operators switch between applications on different hosts or switch
between different sessions originating from the same host or any combination of both with minimal
disruption to the user’s work flow. Switching between sessions requires that the user simply touch the
desired session window in order to activate that session.
The number of sessions supported per terminal is limited to eight. All eight session windows plus the
Presentation Manager and Radio Manager windows can be displayed simultaneously on the touch
screen by tiling the windows. However, it is recommended that any tiled display be limited to four
windows or less; the visibility and usefulness of these windows degrades as their relative size
diminishes.
Once the multi-session capability has been activated and configured, the terminal display can be frozen
for the desired look by using the password protection utility in the Presentation Manager. Upon power
up, users will see only the authorized pre-configured screens.

ON-LINE DEMONSTRATION SESSION (“DEMO” SERVICE)
All WaveNet terminals, including the 5000, have a “built in” demonstration session. This session
allows interactive communications to a 7000 Base Controller task which acts as a “host computer” creating terminal screens and “dummy” data, as well as accepting data inputted into these various
screens via keyboard, bar code scanner, or AEI scanner methods.
Configuration
Utilizing the “Demo” Service enables the On-Line Demonstration session. The following steps will
configure the Demo service at the WaveNet Terminal:
1) Start a new session by using an existing session and copying a new session by selecting
Setup\Communication\Session\Copy. Enter “Demo” as the title when prompted.
2) Locate the new “Demo” session by successive 2nd-TAB keystrokes, and the status line session
name (if the status line is not visible, press 2nd twice in a row quickly).
3) Set the emulation to “WaveNet” in Setup\Emulation
4) Set the Host ID equal to the Host ID of the 7000 Base Controller you wish to communicate to
via the radio data link.
5) Set the byte size to 8-bits by ensuring Setup\Communication\8 Bit equals “Yes”.
6) Select the “Demo” service in Setup\Communication\Service
7) Set Page Caching to 16 in Setup\Display
8) Ensure the character set is set to either “ASCII”, “Chinese” or “Korean”. Note that the Demo
will allow demonstration of Chinese or Korea character sets (keyed by login password), but
only if the appropriate character sets have been installed in the terminal.
9) Select an appropriate font to use in Setup\Display\Font. The 6x12 Font is recommended, but
other fonts, including the appropriate Chinese or Korean fonts can be selected.
10) Ensure the Screen size is set to Rows=12 and Columns=40.
After the following configuration is performed, the WaveNet Terminal must be “hard” reset.
Upon power up, the session will show a logon screen in the LCD display with the banner WaveNet, a
Name field, a Password field, and a prompt of “Enter information to Logon”.
If this does not occur, the most common errors to check are :
1) Is the 7000 Base Controller powered up?
2) Is the 7000 Base Controller and WaveNet Terminal both operating on the same RF Channel?
3) Is the WaveNet Terminal set to the proper Host ID?

Navigating the Demo Session
The Demo session provides a simple simulation of a inventory control software package that typically
be residing on a host computer that the 7000 Base Controller may provide a connection to for the
WaveNet Terminal and the associated Terminal Session.
The Demo session is designed using “Block Mode” ANSI for speed, security and ease of operator
interaction. In general, the cursor keys can be used to navigate between fields on the various screens,
but keyboard or bar code data input is allowed only in those fields that are designated as entry fields in
the Block Mode screen construction. If data entry is attempted in non-entry fields, the terminal will
display an on-screen error message which automatically clears after 1 second.
In general, the best method of screen navigation is with the TAB key. The TAB key will locate the
cursor in only those fields which are designated as entry fields, in a rotating order, starting from the top
of the screen, then going from left to right, until the bottom of the screen - where a wrap around is
provided to the top of the screen.
The Logon Screen
This screen asks for a User Name and Password. The User Name serves no real purpose in the
simulation, and can be ignored. The following entries for the Password field enable the associated
options in the Demo Service :
?? Simply hitting “Enter” will bypass the User Name and Password fields and default the Demo
Service to ASCII/English mode.
?? Entering “wavec” will enable the Demo Service option for Chinese/CNS Font mode. Note that
this mode must be matched with appropriate selections in Setup/Display/Character Set and
Setup/Display/Font for proper screen display.
?? Entering “wavek” will enable the Demo Service option for Korean/Hangul Font mode. Note
that this mode must be matched with appropriate selections in Setup/Display/Character Set
and Setup/Display/Font for proper screen display.
The Menu Screen
The Menu Screen has selections for :

RFID (F4)
With the 5000 Mobile Terminal, these areas can be simply touched to select and enter this menu
choice.. For the 3000 and 3100 series terminals, the function keys F1-F4 must be used. F9 exits the
Menu Screen and returns to the Logon Screen.
The Putaway Screen
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 6-52
Using the Session Manager
The Putaway Screen shows a part number, a required quantity, and a location. These data items are
generated from a “dummy” database in the 7000 Base Controller.
The Quantity and Location Fields can be edited, and the changed information sent back to the 7000
Base Controller. The editing can be performed by keyboard, or bar code scanner input.
F9 Exits the Putaway Screen and returns the Menu Screen, while any other function key will pass the
data to 7000 Base Controller, and refresh the screen.
The Pick Screen
The Pick Screen shows a part number, a required quantity, and a location. These data items are
generated from a “dummy” database in the 7000 Base Controller.
The Quantity and Location Fields can be edited, and the changed information sent back to the 7000
Base Controller. The editing can be performed by keyboard, or bar code scanner input.
F9 Exits the Putaway Screen and returns the Menu Screen, while any other function key will pass the
data to 7000 Base Controller, and refresh the screen.
The Query Location Screen
The Query Location Screen shows a blank location, part number, and quantity. A location can be
entered, and the 7000 Base Controller will return the associated part number and quantity from the
“dummy” database. F9 Exits the Putaway Screen and returns the Menu Screen, while any other
function key will pass the data to 7000 Base Controller, and refresh the screen.
The RFID Screen
The RFID Screen allows scanning of a AAR standard Railcar AEI tag. If a appropriate AEI tag is
scanned, the following fields will automatically be updated with the AEI tag information, in the AAR
specified format :
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
Owner

Type
Note that this format may not accurately report all AAR standard data fields for tags other than
Railcar tags (such as EOT, or Locomotive Dynamic Tags).
The Keyboard and Input fields can be used to capture additional keyboard or bar code data.
The ASCII field is used by the terminal to “dump” AEI tag data that does not conform to the AAR
standard Railcar AEI tag data format. If the Terminal decodes a AEI tag that it cannot decode into
some or all of the AEI fields present in this screen, it will simply place the data, in ASCII equivalent
form, in the ASCII field.

F9 exits the RFID Screen, while any other function key will pass the data to 7000 Base Controller, and
refresh the screen.
Note that the RFID Screen is normally used with the 3100 Portable AEI Terminal, which is outfitted
with an integral AEI Scanner.
LOCAL CONSOLE SESSION
Whenever the barcode scanner support (internal or external) is configured in the Parameter Manager
task (Local/Barcode), the external console port will no longer function as the internal channel is redirected for use with barcode scanner.
To maintain the ability to interface to the Command Line Interpreter (CLI), a special local session is
automatically created at the terminal with a default Security Level of 1. This session is the Console
session, and is identified by the Status Bar label of “Consol”. This session allows direct input to the
CLI, and allows all functionality provided by an external console connection.
When barcode support is removed, the Console session is automatically deleted.
2.4 GHZ LOCAL TELNET SESSIONS
When used with 2.4 GHz (Aironet) radio systems the radio controller function of the 7000 Base
Controller is replaced by Aironet Access Points (models AP4500 or AP4800). However, the 7000
Base Controller can still be used in the network to provide the host session services detailed above (but
with radio subsystems disabled).
Alternatively, a Local Telnet Session can be set in each 5000 Mobile Terminal to provide TELNET
services directly to a ANSI or DEC compatible host – without using a 7000 Base Controller to provide
additional host session interfacing and translation. With a Local Telnet session, TCP/IP services are
enabled locally in the 3000 Portable Terminal, as opposed to being provided by a 7000 Base Controller
in the wireless LAN.
Local Telnet Session capability is enabled by setting the Host ID = 15 in the Setup / Communication
sub-menu and rebooting the 3000. The Local session will then display a “Telnet Prompt”:
Telnet>
A Telnet connection to a host computer can be established by simply typing then IP number of the host
computer followed by ENTER:
Telnet> 192.168.0.1 
From the external console port or the Local Console Session, the TCP/IP services can be accessed to
set the IP number for the terminal, configure DNS services and set various TELNET configurations.
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 6-54
Using the Session Manager
Setting the Terminal IP Number
Every node on an Ethernet TCP/IP network requires a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address. In the
2.4 GHz radio system which uses Local Telnet Sessions, the terminal is a node, and requires a unique
IP address, formatted as y.x.x.x, where 1 <= y <= 239 and 0 <= x <= 254.
To assign an IP address, use the command:
> tcp ip addr en0 [y.x.x.x]
To set the IP address for the interface.
For example, to assign the IP address 7.7.7.3 to the Ethernet interface (known as en0), use the
command:
> tcp ip addr en0 7.7.7.3
The IP address assignment takes effect after the terminal is rebooted.
To store the IP address to the BC unit’s configuration memory, use the command:
> tcp param save
To save the current TCP/IP parameter settings.
Using DNS Services
DNS (Dynamic Name Service) allow mnemonic text descriptions to be used instead of IP addresses.
For example, instead of typing in an IP number to connect to a ANSI/VT220 compatible computer
system:
Telnet> 192.168.0.1 
The following mnemonic text could be entered:
Telnet> server 
The DNS server functions are located in the “dns” task which can be accessed using the console task or
external console connector. The following command shows the Help facilities available with the
command:
>dns ?
dns>Valid commands are:
dns>assign or set: assign [host|port] name number
dns>get: get assignments
dns>clear or zero: clear [host|port|both] name tables
dns>debug or -d: set debug level
dns>def*ault: restore default tables
dns>res*tore or read: restore [host|port|both] name tables
dns>save or write: save [host|port|both] name tables
To set and save a mnemonic name for an IP number, use the following command:
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)

Once a DNS name is configured for an IP address, the DNS name can be always substituted for the IP
address.
DNS names are case-sensitive
TELNET Auto-Connections
The 5000 Mobile Terminal allows an automatic connection (Auto-Connects) to a host computer after
the terminal is restarted (rebooted). The feature allows a “captive” connection that eliminates the
operator having to remember and type an IP number or DNS name. As well, a “captive” connection
provides greater security by only allowing access to the desired IP numbers or DNS names. Several
Auto-Connects can be configured to provide for primary and back up host servers for the terminal.
The Auto-Connect feature is configured in the “tel” task that is accessible in the Console session or the
external console connection. The following command lists the Help facilities available for the AutoConnect configuration:
>tel acon
tel>on or en*able: Enable auto-connect
tel>off or dis*able: Disable auto-connect
tel>add or new: Create auto-connect
tel>del*ete or cl*ear: Delete auto-connect: #

tel>host or IP: Set host address (0==all): IP#
tel>port or base: Set port<->node mapping (0==any): #
tel>max*user or use: Set maximum usage (0==all): #
The first step to using Auto-Connects is to turn on the service:
>tel acon on
tel>Auto-connects enabled
Next, configure and save an Auto-Connect:
>tel acon add host 192.168.0.1

>tel param save
tel>Telnet parameters saved
Note that when deleting Auto-Connects the list is renumbered with remaining AutoConnects numbered from 1.
Remember to save your Auto-Connect list after you make changes!
Several other commands are related to the Auto-Connect facility. The first is Local Prompt control:
>tel loc
tel>Local prompts are currently enabled
>tel loc off
tel>Local prompts are currently disabled
>tel loc on
tel>Local prompts are currently enabled
If Local Prompts are turned off, the “Telnet>” prompt is never visible on the terminal display, even if
no successful Auto-Connect was made. This provides extra security by not providing any local Telnet
capability to the operator at all.
With Local Prompts disabled, the terminal will continue to cycle through the AutoConnect list until a successful Auto-Connect is made.
The terminal will not be allowed to access other host computers if the host computers in
the Auto-Connect list are not available. Local Prompts must be re-enabled to access
other host computers that are not contained in the Auto-Connect list.
Remember to save your Local Prompt configuration after you make changes!

Chapter 6-57
Using the Session Manager
The second is the Host Time Out configuration. This controls how long the terminal will try when
attempting to establish an Auto-Connect before moving to the next Auto-Connect in the Auto-Connect
list. The following example shows the Host Time Out configuration:
>tel time
tel>No Host response timeout
>tel time 10
tel>Host response timeout: 10 seconds
>tel time 0
tel>No Host response timeout
Remember to save your Host Time Out configuration after you make changes!
TELNET Auto-Login Services
After an Auto-Connection is made to a host computer, usually the host computer requires the operator
to supply a username and password. This security step can be bypassed at the host computer with an
appropriate login script, or the 5000 Mobile Terminal can be configured to automatically supply the
desired user name and password using the Auto-Login facility. Help facilities for Auto-Login
configuration are available with the following command:
>tel alog
tel>on or en*able: Enable auto-logging
tel>off or dis*able: Disable auto-logging
tel>add or new: Create auto-login
tel>del*ete or cl*ear: Delete auto-login: #
tel>list or show: List auto-logins
tel>move: Move auto-login: from to

tel>max*user or use: Set maximum usage (0==all): #
tel>name or user: Define username: prompt reply
tel>pass*word: Define password: prompt reply
tel>pr*ompt: Define host prompt: prompt [timer (ticks)]
To use Auto-Login, the first step is to enable Auto-Logins:
>tel alog on
tel>Auto-logins enabled
Second, define the host IP number that the Auto-Login will be assigned to:
>tel alog add host 192.168.0.99
tel>Auto-login: IP: 192.168.0.99 Nodes: Any
tel>User: Pass:
Next, set the Username prompt text used by the host computer and the Username to be supplied:
>tel alog name User: Wave

HOST COLOR/TOUCH OPTIONS
Color/touch capability is available for any MT units in a WRDN. This capability can also be made
available at the host application level. Terminal operators can use the color/touch functionality and
have those functions recognized by the host computer application.
When the terminal operator touches within a Session window, information is sent back to the host
application which defines the exact location of the touch. Normally the host application does not act on
this information because it is not aware of what this information is. With modifications to the host
application, this information can be recognized and acted upon. For example, a menu text list of
choices could be presented in a Session window. The operator could touch a particular item that would
cause a cursor location to be sent back to the host application. The host would recognize the cursor
location as being associated with the menu choice and act on this information with an appropriate reply
to the user.
Color or special display attributes can be implemented by having the host application modify the data
stream going to the terminal with the appropriate information. The terminal is capable of assigning
color or special field attributes to the different fields sent from the host. For example, read only text
fields can be assigned a specific color, whereas the data input fields can be assigned a reverse color.
The extent of host application modification per Session window will depend upon the specific
requirements regarding the extent of color/touch implementation.
DESIGNING A CUSTOM KEYBOARD
One of the unique features of the MT is the ability to design and add custom keyboards. These can be
designed at the commissioning stage and copied (cloned) to all MT’s on the network. These keyboards

Chapter 7-61
Advanced Topics
may be assigned ‘hot’ keys for instant retrieval by the operator at any time. Keyboard size, labels, and
character codes may all be assigned at the design stage.
The 5000 Mobile Terminal will accept a maximum of 4 custom keyboards.
Keyboard Customization
From the Program Manager window, use the  key to activate the menu display. Select KB
Design from the Keyboard menu item.
The Keyboard Menu Selection Bar will now appear below the P.M. title bar. You may select the
keyboard menu functions by touching the area on the menu selection bar, or pressing the appropriate
command key associated with the function. The Keyboard Menu Selection Bar will also give you
instructions on how to operate certain functions.
For Example:
If you would like to pull up an existing keyboard, press the ExistingKb area on the Keyboard Menu
Selection Bar or press the  Key.
The first step to designing a custom keyboard is to determine the size of the keyboard. Custom
keyboards on the 5000 Mobile Terminal initially come in 3 different sizes.
These sizes are:
?? 5 Rows 7 Keys
?? 5 Rows 9 Keys
?? 5 Rows 11 Keys
You may use these initial keyboard sizes as the foundation of your custom keyboard, and modify as
you need.
Once you have selected your keyboard size, you are now ready to:

USING THE TOUCH CONSOLE WINDOW
The MT unit provides a touch-sensitive Console window that allows you to access the Command Line
Interface to the resident software modules (tasks). The Command Line Interface facilitates the entering
of task-based commands. The Console window facilitates the viewing of any command responses.
The touch console window cannot be used to download any task images via the load task
commands. To do so, see the next section.
Usually, the touch console window is used to monitor the configuration and operations of the MT unit
for maintenance purposes.
Normally, the Console window is not displayed, especially when the Scanner Port is enabled.
To display the touch console window, use the following procedure:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)

Activate the Tile or Casc menu item in the Global menu.
Touch the Console window to activate it and then touch the Maximize button to display the
full window. The Command Line Interface prompt (>) will be visible.
Select an alphabetical pop-up keyboard using its hot key (see section on Pop-Up Keyboards in
Chapter 3).
You may now enter a task command in the text entry field of the pop-up keyboard. Enter the
command syntax string and then touch the  key.
Remove the pop-up keyboard by touching anywhere within the windows area outside of the
keyboard.
You can now view the task command response. Touch the  key repeatedly to scroll
the window contents.
To remove the touch console window, use the following procedure:

CONNECTING A CONSOLE DEVICE
A console device, usually a personal computer (PC), can be connected to the MT unit’s Console Port in
order to access the Command Line Interface to the resident software modules (tasks). The Command
Line Interface facilitates the entering of task-based commands. The Console screen facilitates the
viewing of any command responses.
You can not use a Console device while the touch Console window is enabled. This is due
to the Console Port being disabled whenever the BarCode menu item is activated, as it is
for the Console window display (see previous section).
WaveNet’s WaveTERM console utility emulator is recommended to facilitate Console operations. The
WaveTERM software, and the task object code files for task downloads, are available from WaveNet
for WaveNet certified technical support personnel. This software requires a PC with Microsoft
Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 installed.
A three-wire null modem cable (RX Data, TX Data, GND) is required to connect the PC’s
communications port directly to the MT unit’s Console Port.
The following figure shows the connectivity between the MT unit and a laptop PC operating as a
Console device
Figure 7-1 The Console Setup
The following steps will allow you to display the Command Line Interface prompt (>) required for
entering console commands:
1) Double click the WaveTERM icon to display the WaveTERM terminal window. If DC power
is not turned on at the MT unit, there will be no prompt (>) showing at this step. If DC power
is turned on at the MT unit, there will only be a prompt (>) showing at this step.
2) Turn on, if not already on, the DC power to the MT unit, and then press the console 
key. The prompt (>) will appear.
3) You may now enter a console command at the prompt (>).

DOWNLOADING IMAGES TO FLASH MEMORY
Flash memory tasks can be updated by downloading new image files. These files can be downloaded by
using load task commands.
Using load task commands requires access to the Command Line Interface via a Console
device (see previous section), not via the touch Console window. The Console device has
access to the new task images, whereas the Console window does not.
An image file can be downloaded to one of four possible places in Flash memory:
??
??
??
??
At the start sector of an erased Flash memory.
At the next available space starting from low address.
At the highest available sector that can hold the image.
At a specific address.
The Flash memory is protected against being modified while it is in use. If you attempt to download an
image file to the Flash memory while the Flash memory is in use, the load task command will be
rejected and an alert, “Flash in use!” will be displayed.
To ensure that the Flash memory is not in use, use the command:
>load flash now
To restart the MT unit.
Loading the Complete Flash Image
In order to download a complete Flash image (set of tasks), there must be enough free low Flash
memory available. High Flash memory is typically reserved for special tasks such as those involving
character sets.
To monitor and erase the current low Flash memory, use the commands:
>load flash now
>load fp
>FLSH e[first sector address]
To restart the MT unit.
To obtain the first sector address.
To erase contiguous memory beginning at [first
sector address].
Do not use FLSH E command (with upper case E). This command will erase the high
Flash memory in addition to the low Flash memory.
Use the load fp command again to confirm that enough free memory is available.
To download and activate the complete Flash image, use the commands:
>load lf [filename]
>load fir
To load Flash image with [filename].
To install and run the Flash image in RAM.
Loading a Task Image at Next Available Space
5000 Mobile Terminal Product Guide (5000-REV2.21)
Chapter 7-69
Advanced Topics
This command is primarily used to add a new task . This may be required to add new features to the
system or to provide a custom option.
The load task installs images on sector boundaries. When a new image is downloaded, the first
taskname in the image is checked against the first taskname of all images currently in the Flash
memory. If the two names match, then the old image is overwritten. Otherwise, the new image is
written starting at the first available new sector boundary.
To load a task image at the next available space starting from low address, use the command:
>load flash now
>load lf [filename]
To restart the MT unit.
To load task image with [filename].
Installing a Task Image into High Memory
High memory is an area in Flash memory which is unaffected by a new (complete) Flash image install
procedure. It is generally reserved for character sets or custom tasks.
To install a task image at the highest available sector that can hold the image, use the commands:
>load flash now
>load lfh [filename]
To restart the MT unit.
To load task image with [filename] into high memory.
Installing a Task Image at Specific Address
To install a task image at a specific start address, use the commands:
>load flash now
To restart the MT unit.
>load lf@[address] [filename] To load task image with [filename] at [address].
If the [address] location already contains a task image, the task image with [filename] will be installed
at the subsequent available sector.
