Chapter 1 • Introduction Description The DT-800RF has a versatile high-speed scanning (100 scans per second) that ensures a rapid first-time read rate and high data integrity. Its combination of distance and contact laser scanning allows bar codes to be easily read even when badly printed on curved and irregular surfaces. Amongst the lightest weight terminals in its class, the compact lightweight design of the DT-800RF reduces operator fatigue over extended usage periods.

Following an initial serial download, the terminal software and configuration is managed automatically, over the wireless network. Configuring the Manager The first step is to configure the Twin Client Manager to meet site-specific requirements, and then prepare it for the automatic management of the terminal software and IP addresses.
Terminal Setup To set these addresses from the Settings menu, click on Servers and then click on Add. Enter the name of each server, its IP Address and IP port (normally 23 for Telnet servers), and emulation type. Then click on OK. Repeat this step for each telnet server the terminals are required to access. If an error is made in the name, IP Address, IP Port number, or Terminal emulation type, click on the line that is in error and then click on the Edit button to make the corrections.
Quick Start Saving the Configuration Click File and Save As. Enter a name for this configuration. For the purposes of this example, the name is vt100.

The terminal is now configured to accept a download from Twin Client Manager.
Terminal Setup Standard Setup The default terminal setup is sufficient for most installations. However, to meet sitespecific requirements, it may be necessary to customize terminal operation. The standard setup options simplify this process and can be modified using one of the following methods: • Using the Twin Client Manager. • Using the Twin Client terminal menu system. Standard Setup describes how to use the Twin Client Manager and the terminal menu systems to set up the terminal.
Standard Setup Quadrant Mode The scrolling list defines the rules by which the terminal display is positioned in the larger host display. As defined by Twin Client, quadrants are fixed position “windows” in the host display, and the terminal display is located on whatever quadrant contains the current cursor position. Off disables quadrant processing and Twin Client simply centers the current host input field in the terminal display. On enables quadrant processing.
Terminal Setup Printer Type This scrolling list selects the attached printer type. The default value is none, indicating no printer is attached. 5250 Settings Select the 5250 emulation setup by clicking on the Settings menu and then the Emulation menu, as shown below. Then click on the 5250 selection, as shown below. Click on OK after the selection is made, and return to the main Twin Client Manager menu. The standard settings tab will now reflect the settings for 5250 emulation.

To access this menu system, press the uppercase C at the startup screen as shown in the following figure.
Standard Setup Host 0 IP 206.183.67.155 Port 23__ Save Quit Press F3 to save the configurations. Edit License Key The client software can be authorized automatically, as described in the next section, Authorizing PowerNet. This menu option permits authorization of each terminal manually. Select this option to obtain the terminal's Identification Code, which is used to obtain the Authorization code from the Connect web site, as described in the next section.
Terminal Setup Authorizing PowerNet Each PowerNet Twin Client will run for 30 minutes at a time without authorization. Uninterrupted operation for a production environment is the result of authorizing the software. Authorization codes are obtained from the Connect Website at http://www.connectrf.com on the Partner Services page. Click on the Generate Authorization icon at the top of the page.
Standard Setup Enter the additional license’s authorization code and click on OK. Use the machine ID in the pop-up box instead of the original machine ID to get your authorization code. If adding users, click on the Add Licenses button before generating the authorization code to get the most current machine ID. Transfer Authorization The Transfer Authorization feature is used when moving a site license from one PC to another.
Terminal Setup Software Management In addition to providing functions for the download of files to the terminal via the traditional serial connection, the Twin Client Manager also provides for the management of terminal software and configurations automatically over the wireless network. This section entitled Software Management describes the automated capability in detail. Additional manual operations involving serial download options are described at the end of this section.
Software Management Synchronizing Configuration Files Click to put a check in the Synchronize Configuration Files box to enable automatic synchronization of configuration files on the terminal. When the terminal is command booted, its configuration files will be compared with the most recent on the PC. The terminal is updated automatically if it does not have the latest revision.
Terminal Setup Creating New Groups New groups, with different configurations, can be created by clicking on Terminal Group Manager, and then clicking the right mouse button as shown. After the new group has been created, the group settings option becomes available for change, as shown below. After the Configuration File and all of the other parameters have been set, the group is made active by clicking on the Active check box.
Software Management Setting the Segment Checking the Segment button restricts a terminal group to a range of IP addresses. The IP Address can be any valid address on the segment, as it is used only to identify the segment. The setting of the Net Mask can be used to restrict the range. This feature is useful for segregating terminal groups by location. Setting Force Reload Clicking on the Force Reload button forces all terminals within a group to be automatically updated.
Terminal Setup Any group can be made the default group by clicking on the group, and then clicking on the right mouse button. Then click on the Make Default option. Reassigning Terminals After a terminal has been configured and assigned to the default group, it can be reassigned to a new group by clicking on the terminal icon as shown below. Then, holding the mouse button down, drag the terminal icon to the desired group as shown next. Release the mouse button, which reassigns the terminal.
