2-iv 2325 Reference Guide Table of Contents Revision B 2325A137REFGD
Chapter 2 Using Advanced Features Introduction This chapter provides information about advanced features of the 2325 computers. It does not cover basics, such as use of the keypad and display. For basic information about the 2325, see the “2325 Installation and Operator’s Guide.” Changing the Laser Module’s Orientation Normally, the laser window faces the left side of the 2325 for easy righthanded scanning.
2-2 Programming the Laser Triggers To rotate the laser module, complete the following steps: 1. Unscrew the screw that secures the module to the main part of the 2325. The screw will come loose but will not come out of the laser module. Do not try to force it out. 2. Gently lift the laser module away from the top of the main part of the 2325. The module will not completely separate from the rest of the 2325. Do not try to force the units apart. 3.
Resetting the 2325 2-3 Resetting the 2325 One of the critical features of any portable data-collection device is its ability to protect against accidental data loss. In the event a 2325 becomes “locked up” or otherwise in a state in which data can no longer be processed, you can use any of four methods to reset the unit. This chapter describes these methods. Warm Boot The warm boot is one of two software methods for resetting a 2325.
2-4 Resetting the 2325 Release all three keys simultaneously, and the unit will reset. Simply removing and inserting the battery pack will not force a cold boot, because the backup battery can provide minimal power to sustain the 2325’s operating state. The exception to this is when the backup battery is drained of all power, a condition that you should not let happen. When a cold boot is performed, all transient data is lost, along with the state of any application that was running on the unit.
Resetting the 2325 2-5 The unit indicates safe-boot mode by emitting a low tone followed by a higher-pitched tone. The flash drive (C) and the RAM drive (D) will be preserved, and the boot sequence will place the unit at the C:\> prompt. Note: If you do not hear the two tones indicating the safe-boot sequence, you probably did not press the ESC and DEL keys quickly enough. Reboot the 2325 and press the two keys simultaneously as soon as you see the “Wait…” message on the display.
2-6 Using PC Cards Using PC Cards The 2325 has a slot for plugging in PC cards, and each unit is factoryequipped with PhoenixCARD Manager Plus PC card drivers. PC cards provide such features as network connectivity, modem connectivity, and wireless capability. Their primary purpose in the 2325 is to provide additional memory storage by functioning as a disk drive. The 2325 holds one PC card at a time.
Using PC Cards 2-7 Then, while pressing the round button above the slot cover, slide the cover out and away from the 2325. Note: The locking screw cannot be completely removed from the PC card slot cover. To keep the screw from catching on the unit, turn the 2325 face up when you pull the cover out. Note: Turn the 2325 off before removing or inserting a PC card. Figure 2-4 Typical PC Card All PC cards have two rows of small sockets on one end. The cards also have face-up and face-down sides.
2-8 Using PC Cards Push the card firmly into the slot until the ejector tab slides out. See section titled “Radio Card Antenna Connector” when installing or removing an RF card. Note: Do not force the card into the slot. It should slide in easily. The PC card slot in the 2325 is designed so that you cannot insert a card upside down or backward. Make sure you put the end with the holes into the slot first. Then flip the card upside down and try to insert it again.
Using PC Cards 2-9 Radio Card Antenna Connector Figure 2-6 Radio Card Antenna Connector Note: Turn the 2325 off before inserting or removing the radio PC card. The antenna connector is inserted in the antenna port on the PCMCIA radio card when the card is inserted in the 2325. Units with radio cards require an antenna to connect to the RF network. Radio Card Antenna Ports Your radio PCMCIA card may have one or two antenna ports.
2-10 Using PC Cards Removing a PC Card Note: If a radio card is to be removed, first disconnect the antenna connector from the radio card before pressing the Ejector Tab. Figure 2-8 Removing a PC Card 1 Ejector tab 2 PC card The Ejector Tab inside the PC card slot ejects the installed card. Push the end of the ejector tab into the 2325. As you do so, the PC card should slide partway out of the slot. Hold the card by the edges and pull it the rest of the way out.
The Serial Port 2-11 The Serial Port Figure 2-9 The Serial Port The 2325 has a port for serial communications with a PC. The port is located at the base of the unit. Designated as COM1, it is a 10-pin telephone-style jack providing a standard RS-232 connection. With a serial cable connected to it, the port allows communications with a host computer or any serial device, such as a printer or modem.
2-12 The Antenna The Antenna Figure 2-11 Antenna Antennas are factory installed on the 2325s that will be used with radio PC cards. Not all 2325s with radios have an integrated laser scanner. For those 2325s that are not configured for radio, a rubber plug is inserted in the antenna opening. The antenna can be rotated 90° toward the front of the unit and back up again. Do not force the antenna to move past the stopping point.
The Disk Drives 2-13 The Disk Drives The 2325 contains four logical disk drives that provide storage for system files, applications, and data. Drive A is a read-only drive. Its contents cannot be changed.Drive B is a read-only drive used to store system utilities and to initialize the boot process. Its contents cannot be changed. Drive C is a flash disk drive that allows full read and write access.
2-14 Configuring the 2325 Configuring the 2325 If your unit is not already configured for use when you get it, you can use the Configuration Utility to install applications and set options for barcode scanning. The Configuration Utility operates under Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT. The Configuration Utility runs XFER automatically. For instructions on using the utility, see Chapter 4 “Configuration Utility.
Transferring Files 2-15 Transferring Files To transfer data or program files, connect your 2325 to the host computer with any of the following accessories: • Serial cable • Single Dock • Four Slot Dock Your software application may have simple file-transfer options, or you can use the XFER utility. When you use the Configuration Utility to transfer files (see chapter 4), the configuration utility runs XFER automatically for you.
2-16 Transferring Files Option What It Does Default filename Identifies the file to be transferred or received. None # Specifies the communication port to use. Replace the # symbol with the desired setting: 1 1 = COM1 2 = COM2 B# Specifies the baud rate. Replace the # symbol with the desired setting: 19200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 Specifies the number of seconds for XFER to wait for activity before canceling the transfer.
Transferring Files 2-17 An Example To transfer a file named MYFILE from a PC to a 2325 using Xmodem protocol, you could use the following lines. On the PC: xfer myfile. This command causes the computer to send the specified file using XFER’s default settings. On the 2325: xfer /r myfile. This command causes the 2325 to receive the specified file transmitted from the PC. Note: 2325A137REFGD For more information about XFER, including Zmodem options, see Chapter 5 “Using XFER.
2-18 Advanced Power Management Advanced Power Management The 2325 uses advanced power management (APM) to provide the longest battery life. Control of the APM features is provided in the PM.COM utility on drive B of each 2325. This section provides additional information for getting the most power life out of a 2325 RF unit using the RangeLAN2 wireless LAN PC card. Batteries For RF units, LXE recommends the use of nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Advanced Power Management 2-19 Appendix C includes bar codes that provide settings as low as 2 seconds for the backlight auto-off timer. You can also use the PM.COM utility to set the timeout. Power Management at the Radio Card To conserve battery life, the radio card has an inactivity sleep mode. The sleep mode is automatically engaged when a certain period has elapsed since the computer has sent or received data over the network.
2-20 Radio PC Card Configuration Radio PC Card Configuration Note: LXE will pre-install radio cards and drivers on 2325 RF units before delivery. These instructions are included for those users who may need to reinstall radio drivers and reconfigure radio parameters. After installing the radio card, you must configure the 2325 to use the card. This is accomplished with the Configuration Utility. Use of the utility is covered in chapter 4 “The Configuration Utility.
Radio PC Card Configuration 2-21 • These applications allow the user to run Novell client/server applications; to mount drives, printers, and other hardware; and to treat the 2325 RF as if it were a client on a Novell network. • For other IPX/SPX solutions, the package provides software from Novell. Novell’s IPX/SPX stack runs on top of the ODI driver. • For other software implementations, you can customize one of the provided configurations.
2-22 Radio PC Card Configuration Note: The I/O-card drivers are not compatible with Proxim’s client driver. Do not select the I/O Cards options when using RF. 8.

2-38 RF Throughput, Performance and Troubleshooting RF Throughput, Performance and Troubleshooting Because of the complicated nature of wireless LAN technology, problems occasionally arise. This section provides general information about performance and addresses some problems that might arise during setup or use of a wireless network with RF units. This should be your first resource in case of trouble.
RF Throughput, Performance and Troubleshooting 2-39 possible types. The best method with the Proxim RangeLAN2 access point is to turn on filtering for every packet type that you know you won't use. For example, if the access point is hooked up to a TCP/IP network, you would set TCP/IP to Not Filtering and all other protocols to Filtering. In a NetBEUI environment, turn off the Filter NetBEUI option, and turn filtering on for all the rest of the protocols.
2-40 RF Throughput, Performance and Troubleshooting Throughput and Performance The bandwidth on a radio network is constant for a given network. Therefore, the more active RF units using the same frequency- hopping pattern, the slower the throughput of any one unit. If this is a problem, you should install additional access points. Radio signals may reflect off some obstacles and be absorbed by others.
RF Throughput, Performance and Troubleshooting 2-41 The 2325 seems to lock up for four or five seconds after it is turned on. Every time a 2325 is turned on, it must initialize the PC card. Wireless LAN PC cards commonly take four or five seconds to initialize. After the card is initialized, the unit should function normally. The 2325 cannot communicate with a NetWare server. The 2325 and the server may be using different frame types. Make sure that the frame type in your NET.
2-42 RF Throughput, Performance and Troubleshooting Problems with DOS Drivers Some problems may occur in the DOS environment. Many problems can be caused by inappropriate memory, I/O, or IRQ settings for the 2325. If changing those settings in the NET.CFG or PROTOCOL.INI file doesn’t solve the problem, consult the following list of symptoms to identify other possible causes. Contact your systems administrator if you need additional help.

Chapter 3 Software Configuration Introduction This chapter details the default contents of the disk drives and the organization of system software on the 2325. It also includes descriptions of two standard software configurations. BIOS and DOS The 2325 uses a modified version of General Software’s BIOS with Datalight’s ROM-DOS. Both products are burned into system flash in a single 256K image. The A drive is included in the image, physically addressed just below the BIOS image.
3-2 Disk Drives and Files Disk Drives and Files The 2325 has the following drive structure: Drive A is a read-only flash drive. The contents of this drive cannot be changed. Drive B is a read-only flash drive that you can update by using the coreupdate program, COREXFER.EXE, (loaded on the PC by the Configuration Utility) from a host machine. (Normal operation will not require updating of this drive.) Drive C is a resident flash disk drive that is accessed with the flashdsk.sys device driver.
Disk Drives and Files 3-3 Drive A Drive A is a disk image that is located in flash along with the BIOS and ROM-DOS. A read-only drive, it is intended to remain secure throughout the life of the unit. Drive A contains the following files: AUTOEXEC.BAT the first file in the startup sequence CONFIG.SAF the first file in the safe-boot sequence CONFIG.SYS the first file in the boot sequence REV.COM the utility that reports the firmware revision The CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.

This option will download the Phoenix Super Client Driver (PCMSCD.EXE) to the C:\PCM subdirectory on the 2325. It will also add the command for loading of this driver to the CONFIG.SYS file. The CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files below were created by eliminating ATA card support and adding I/O card support to DEFAULT.CFG.
3-14 Data Entry Data Entry Note: The 2325 will not run Microsoft Windows products i.e. Windows 3.1, Windows For Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows NT, etcetera. The LXE 2325 computer accepts data entry from the keyboard, barcode scanner and the RS-232 input port when an LXE terminal emulation (TE) program is running and on batch (non-TE) units. Keyboard Data Entry Once the terminal emulation program is started, data can be entered with the 2325 keypad.
Data Entry 3-15 Terminal Emulation Note: Narrowband and spread spectrum 900MHz radios are not supported at this time. For details concerning future capabilities, contact the LXE Product Marketing department. All terminal emulation radio controlled data flows and exchanges are over the radio to the 64XX or 65XX units, then to the computer network and then to a host computer. The LXE Network Management System, as part of the wired network, can remotely configure the 2325’s terminal emulation parameters.

Chapter 5 Using XFER Introduction XFER (XFER.EXE) is a DOS utility that directs the serial transfer of ASCII and binary data between two computers. This chapter provides information for advanced users and system administrators who want to use XFER to transfer files between a 2325 and a PC. For basic information about XFER and the Xmodem parameter defaults, see Chapter 2 “Using Advanced Features”, section titled “Transferring Files.
5-2 Syntax and Parameters Syntax and Parameters The command line syntax for XFER is as follows: XFER [/option1 [/option2] . . .] filename(s) You can use a slash (/) or a hyphen (-) to denote options, and you can use uppercase or lowercase letters for them. Options can be placed before or after filenames on the command line. Basic options and their defaults are listed and described in the following table.
Syntax and Parameters 5-3 Option Description C# (Zmodem only) Specifies how the retransmission of a file should be handled if a previous transfer was interrupted.
5-4 Syntax and Parameters Option Description O# Overwrites an existing file with a new file having the same name. Replace the # symbol with the desired setting: 1 = Overwrite if source is longer or newer (Zmodem only) 2 = Overwrite if CRCs don’t match (Zmodem only) 3 = Append to existing file (Zmodem only) 4 = Always overwrite 5 = Overwrite if source is newer (Zmodem only) 6 = Overwrite if dates or lengths don’t match (Zmodem only) 7 = Never overwrite Toggles quiet mode on and off.
Syntax and Parameters 5-5 filename(s) Name(s) of the File(s) to Send or Receive Xmodem Only one file can be transferred at a time. You can specify the entire path, including the drive letter. If you do not specify a path, the file is sent from or received into the current directory. If the directory or file doesn’t exist on a send, or the directory doesn’t exist on a receive, the transfer will fail, with a file-open error. You must include the filename on the command line when receiving a file.
5-6 Syntax and Parameters Also, DOS does not store files in alphabetical order, and so using *.* to both send and receive files may result in files being renamed because they are loaded in a different order. This can occur even if the file lists on both sides of the transfer are the same. @file Response File (Zmodem only) The @file option allows use of a “response file” for specifying filenames when conducting Zmodem transfers.
Syntax and Parameters 5-7 You can use response files with the S2 option. In this case, the format for the response file would be: autoexec.bat c:\autoexec.bat c:\programs\theprog.exe c:\prog.exe c:\data\file1.dat d:\data1 c:\data\file2.dat d:\data2 c:\data\file3.dat d:\data3 In this case, the first filename on a line specifies the file on the sender’s side. The second filename on the line specifies the filename the sender will pass to the receiver.
5-8 Syntax and Parameters B# Baud Rate This option specifies the baud rate to be used for the file transfer. Replace the # symbol with the desired setting: 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 C# Crash Recovery (Zmodem only) Crash recovery refers to the ability of Zmodem protocol to detect that a file transfer was not completed and to attempt to recover at the point of failure (instead of recopying the entire file).
Syntax and Parameters 5-9 the sender’s crash and overwrite options. Any overwrite options local to the receiver will be ignored. This is useful if a default crash-recovery command is specified in the XFER_ARGS environment variable and you wish to temporarily disable crash recovery for the current transfer. D# Delay Before Terminating Transmission This option allows you to specify a timeout.
5-10 Syntax and Parameters F# Flow Control This option allows you to specify what type of flow control to use for the file transfer. Flow control is the ability of the receiver to detect that data is coming in faster then it can receive it and to issue a command to the sender instructing it to stop sending data. When the receiver is again able to handle new data, it issues another command instructing the sender to resume the transfer of data.
Syntax and Parameters 5-11 H or ? Help This option displays a brief description of the XFER syntax, options, and settings. Ifile Modem-Initialization File This option specifies the file that contains modem setup and control commands. See “The Modem Initialization File” for complete information about the file. Mcommand Modem Command This option allows commands to be sent to the modem before the start of the file transfer.
5-12 Syntax and Parameters The second dialing method is to use the XFER /MDstr format, where str is a dialing command to be sent directly to the modem. This string can be any recognizable phone number text, such as (555) 444-3333 or 5554443333. The last M option on the command line or in the environment variable is the one used for controlling the modem. All earlier modem-command settings are ignored.
Syntax and Parameters 5-13 O# Overwrite Existing File(s) The O option specifies what action the receiver should take if the file being transferred already exists on the receiver’s side.
5-14 Syntax and Parameters tendency with the O6 option is for files to be overwritten, because times usually do not match exactly. The O3 setting is unique in that it causes the transferred file (binary or ASCII) to be appended to the end of the old file rather than overwriting it. With Zmodem, the O option can be used with the C option setting for crash recovery. If you specify C2 (follow sender) on the command line, then the receiver will use the sender’s crash and overwrite options.
Syntax and Parameters 5-15 R Receive File(s) This option specifies that files are to be received. With Xmodem protocol, the option must be specified whenever you wish to receive a file. The option can be included in the XFER_ARGS environment variable, forcing Xmodem protocol to default to receiving instead of sending files. With Zmodem, receive is the default if no file is specified on the command line (for example, XFER /z).
5-16 Syntax and Parameters S Specify Sender’s Path-and-File Handling (Zmodem only) The S option controls how the sender handles the paths and filenames of the files that it sends. This option is available only with Zmodem protocol. You must specify the Z option before using the S option. You can use one of the following settings. The settings are described individually below.
Syntax and Parameters 5-17 You may specify multiple filename pairs, which may be separated by other XFER options. You must observe the following conventions when using the S2 option. Failure to conform may result in errors. • You must specify the S2 command ahead of any filenames. • When specifying dual filenames, you must separate the filenames by a single space. The first filename in the pair is what the sender uses, and the second filename is what the sender will transmit to the receiver.
5-18 Syntax and Parameters T Transmit File(s) This option specifies that files are to be sent. For Xmodem protocol, this is the default; that is, typing XFER MYFILE on the command line would send the file MYFILE. For Zmodem protocol, transmit is the default if you specify a file on the command line. So, for example, the command XFER /Z MYFILE is equivalent to the command XFER /Z /T MYFILE. The T option is most useful if the XFER_ARGS environment variable includes the R command but you want to send a file.
Syntax and Parameters 5-19 If you do not include the W option on the command line, streaming is used. If you use the option without specifying a setting, W0 (streaming) is used by default. This is useful in the case where a window size is specified in the XFER_ARGS environment variable but you wish to use streaming for the current transfer session. Note: Always place the W option after the Z option, or a parsing error will occur. See the information about the Z option for more details.
5-20 The XFER_ARGS Environment Variable The XFER_ARGS Environment Variable XFER recognizes the environment variable XFER_ARGS. This variable can be used to set option settings that you want for most transfer sessions. You can even specify files in the XFER_ARGS environment. Parsing of the XFER command line starts with the XFER_ARGS variable and then continues through any other specified options or filenames.
The XFER_ARGS Environment Variable 5-21 XFER command line, Xmodem protocol is specified. The only overwrite settings that Xmodem supports are O4 (always overwrite) and O7 (never overwrite); all other O options resolve to O7 for Xmodem. If the file myfile exists, the transfer will abort. In this case, you should either specify O4 on the command line or not use the X option.
5-22 Multiple-Option Blocks Multiple-Option Blocks XFER supports multiple options after a single slash (/) or hyphen (-) on the command line and in the XFER_ARGS environment variable. Each of the following examples is a valid command line: C:\> xfer /zrob115200 myfile C:\> xfer /zro /d30 /b115200 myfile C:\> xfer /zrw2 /o5c3f2 myfile Any option can immediately follow another without a separate delimiter (/ or -) unless the preceding option has a multicharacter setting.
Multiple-Option Blocks 5-23 is not followed by a space. Therefore, XFER would try to send the file myfile, not receive it. The second example is wrong because the R and O6 parameters would be included as part of the modem command A. Be careful when specifying the COM port in a multiple-option block. For example, the following command: C:\> xfer /zo2 myfile sets the overwrite option to 2 (overwrite if CRCs don’t match) but doesn’t cause XFER to use COM port 2.
5-24 The Modem-Initialization File The Modem-Initialization File The modem-initialization file (MODEM.INI) contains keyword-andvalue pairs, with each pair on a separate line. Each keyword is separated from its value by one or more spaces; tabs and other white-space characters are not valid. Keywords can be in any order within the file. Lines beginning with a # character or with a space character are treated as comment lines and are ignored. The # character can also be used to embed comments within a line.
The Modem-Initialization File 5-25 DIAL_METHOD This keyword specifies how the modem attempts to dial phone numbers. This can be T for tone dial or P for pulse dial. ECHO This keyword indicates whether responses received from the modem should be displayed to the screen. Enable the keyword by setting the value string to T (for true); clear it by setting the value string to F (for false).
5-26 The Modem-Initialization File INIT_STRING This keyword specifies the string to use to initialize the modem. The initialization-string value should begin with the AT sequence for Hayescompatible modems, as the serial in/out modem routines do not attach these characters to the beginning of the initialization string before sending it to the modem.
The Modem-Initialization File 5-27 PROTOCOL_STRINGS This keyword is a list of response strings (expected responses from the modem) that indicate that a connection was made using an errorcorrecting protocol. Since modems often support various errorcorrecting protocols, they may have more than one string indicating that such a protocol is being used. You can use the PROTOCOL_STRING keyword as many times as necessary to create the desired list.

Performance 5-29 Performance This section describes issues relating to serial performance on the 2325. Although these issues are described in the context of XFER, they apply to serial transfers in general. File-transfer speed is severely reduced when byte counts are displayed on the 2325 screen. Use the Q option in XFER to enable quiet mode and speed up transfers. Performance also is diminished when data is transferred to the C drive or to a PCMCIA ATA card.
5-30 Error Codes Error Codes The following table lists error codes returned by XFER. Value Mnemonic Description 0 OK All files transferred OK. 1 ABORT_FILESSKIPPED One or more files were skipped during a multiple file download. 2 ABORT_TIMEOUT The transfer was aborted because of a timeout. 3 ABORT_KEYPRESS The abort key (ESC) was pressed. 4 ABORT_LINEERROR A communications line error (e.g., OVERRUN) occurred.

Chapter 6 Commands Introduction This chapter describes some of the device drivers and utilities that are designed to be run on a 2325 in section titled “System Utilities.” It also includes Datalight ROM-DOS commands that are available in the 2325. ROM-DOS commands that differ from their MS-DOS equivalents are identified and described. The information in this chapter is taken from Datalight’s “ROM-DOS 6.22 User’s Guide” and is used by permission.
6-2 System Utilities CFGDEV.SYS The CFGDEV.SYS file is located on drive B of the 2325. When CFGDEV.SYS is loaded by the CONFIG.SYS file on that drive, a logical character-based device called PARAMS is created. This device receives programming strings that modify the configuration parameters that control the behavior of several system components.
System Utilities 6-3 Note: Attempts to create, delete, or modify a file called params will conflict with the PARAMS device. You cannot eliminate the loading of cfgdev.sys except through the safe-boot process. CFGIO.EXE The CFGIO.EXE utility changes the current font set or the current keypad mapping to be used by the system (or both). This is primarily to be used for loading support of alternate keypad overlays and fonts for international use.
6-4 System Utilities COMIO.COM This utility provides an easy means for developers to interact with the 2325 by allowing video and keyboard interaction to be done at a host PC. It does this by controlling redirection of video and keyboard I/O through the portable's serial port COM1. When keyboard redirection is disabled, input is received from the 2325's keypad; when it is enabled, input is taken from the serial port.
System Utilities 6-5 FLASHDSK.SYS This driver configures all of the unit’s available flash memory as a readwrite disk, called a flash disk. Reading from a flash disk is fast, but writing can be somewhat slower. This driver is located on the B drive and is loaded by the CONFIG.SYS file located on that drive. You cannot eliminate the loading of FLASHDSK.SYS. FORMAT.COM This utility formats a read-write disk drive. Only the flash and RAM drives may be formatted using this command. FORMAT.
6-6 System Utilities LOCK.COM Use this utility to enable or disable write protection on flash or RAM drives. (This is the software equivalent of the write-protect tab on a floppy disk.) You can use LOCK.COM to protect against accidental erasure of all files stored on the flash disk. Whenever the 2325 is rebooted, write protection on a drive will be disabled, by default. To lock the drive upon bootup, include a lock command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on drive C.
System Utilities 6-7 ORGANIZE.COM This utility reorganizes sectors on a flash drive to improve flash disk access. Data is relocated so that all free sectors are grouped together, reducing the overhead of freeing space for new data. ORGANIZE.COM has a greater effect on a flash disk as the disk gets closer to being full. Note: The only 2325 drive you can organize with this utility is the flash disk created with the FLASHDSK.SYS driver. ATA flash drives will not respond properly to this utility.
6-8 System Utilities state for the same number of minutes. The range of acceptable values for # is 0 (off) to 255; this option is off by default. Note: The audio warning uses extra current, causing the batteries to drain faster. Therefore, you might want to set the interval for as long as possible or not use it at all. /h Displays a help file for the utility. /i Displays timer settings for auto-off, backlight timeout, and low-battery audio indication. /r Resets power management to the cold-boot defaults.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-9 ROM-DOS Commands This section provides descriptions of the ROM-DOS commands listed in the following “ROM-DOS vs MS-DOS” table. Each entry includes an explanation of the command's purpose, the command entry syntax, remarks, and examples. Each command also has a label to designate whether it is an internal or external command. Internal commands are part of the command processor program, COMMAND.COM. These functions are available only while COMMAND.COM is running.
6-10 ROM-DOS Commands Command Features Exclusive to ROM-DOS Features Exclusive to MS-DOS DIR /A X: Shows attributes /O:C and /O:-C: Sorts by compression ratio /C[H]: Displays compression ratio of files compressed using Drivespace or Doublespace FCBS , [minimum number] FIND /I: Not case-sensitive HELP Requires command.hlp MS-DOS requires external file, help.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-11 ATTRIB.EXE Type External Purpose The ATTRIB command either displays or modifies the attribute of a file. Syntax ATTRIB [+ ¦ -][option][filespec] Remarks The file attributes define the characteristics of a file. They determine if a file may be deleted or modified, or if it is archived. The ATTRIB command is used to manage these file attributes. Wildcard characters may be used in the ATTRIB filespec. The ATTRIB command will modify file attributes if modify commands are given to ATTRIB.
6-12 ROM-DOS Commands ATTRIB will remove the read-only attribute and the archive attribute for all files with the DAT extension. ATTRIB -a -r *.dat ATTRIB will display the attributes of all files with the DAT extension. ATTRIB *.dat BUFFERS Type config.sys Purpose ROM-DOS has internal buffers to temporarily hold data read from the disk. Increasing the number of internal buffers will speed system performance. Syntax BUFFERS = number Remarks Each buffer used by ROM-DOS requires 512 bytes of RAM.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-13 CHKDSK.EXE Type External Purpose The CHKDSK command checks the disk directories and File Allocation Table (FAT) and displays a disk and memory report. Syntax CHKDSK [d:][path][filespec][/C] [/F] [/V] Remarks CHKDSK examines a disk and determines if the disk has any errors in the File Allocation Table (FAT) and will optionally fix errors. Options The /F option causes CHKDSK to fix errors on the disk if any were found. The errors that can be found are directory or FAT errors.
6-14 ROM-DOS Commands have slower disk access times. If CHKDSK reports a large number of files with this problem, a utility program that optimizes the files and free space on your disk should be used. After checking the disk, CHKDSK displays any error messages followed by a report on the state of the disk that was checked. An example of the report is shown below.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-15 COMMAND.COM Type External Purpose Start a new command processor. Syntax COMMAND[device][/E:number][/K:filename] [/P][/C string][/MSG] Remarks This command starts a new copy of the ROM-DOS command processor. The command processor is the program that has all the internal DOS commands in it. Starting a new command processor will also produce a new environment. The size of the environment is 128 bytes by default, but it can be changed using the /E switch.
6-16 ROM-DOS Commands The /c string switch causes COMMAND to execute the command in string and then terminate. The string command can be any internal or external command. The /MSG option indicates that all error messages should be stored in memory. This option is recommended only for diskette based systems. ROM-DOS keeps many of its error messages in the resident part of COMMAND.COM rather than using valuable memory to store them.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-17 DIR Type Internal Purpose Displays a list of the files that are in a directory. Syntax DIR [d:][path][filename][/option] Remarks The DIR command can be used to list all the files in a directory, or to show the directory entries of specific files. The standard directory display format includes columns for filenames, filename extensions, file sizes, and the dates and times the files were created.
6-18 ROM-DOS Commands /B The /B, or bare, option causes the display to be displayed without volume label, date, time, or size information. /L The /L option causes the filenames to be displayed in lowercase. /P The /P option selects page mode, which makes ROM-DOS pause the display each time the screen is full. Press any key to go on to the next page of entries. /O attributes The /O option causes the filenames to be displayed in sorted order.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-19 Examples To see the directory entries of all files in the current drive and directory, type: DIR To see all files in the subdirectory MEMOS on drive B, type: DIR B:\MEMOS Display all files sorted by file name order. DIR /ON Display all hidden files. DIR /AH Display all files with a .doc extension, without file sizes, or volume labels. DIR *.
6-20 ROM-DOS Commands FCBS Type CONFIG.SYS Purpose The FCBS command allows you to specify the number of file control blocks (FCBs) open at one time. Syntax FCBS = number[,minimum number] Remarks Number specifies the maximum number of FCBs open at any given time. The default for this value is 4. The value for number must be in the range from 1 to 255. The minimum number specifies the minimum number of FCBs to be open at all times.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-21 Options The /C option causes FIND to only display the count of lines found with the specified string. The /N option causes FIND to display the line number of the line found containing the string. The /V option causes FIND to display the lines that do not contain the string. The match-string argument specifies the word or group of characters to search for. The filename argument specifies the file or group of files to search in. The complete drive and path can be specified.
6-22 ROM-DOS Commands HELP.COM Type Internal Purpose Provides on-line help of each ROM-DOS command. Syntax HELP Remarks HELP serves as a memory aid. HELP for each command can also be displayed by entering /? following the command name. The file COMMAND.HLP must be available to use this command. Examples To list the help of the DIR command you can type: HELP DIR or DIR /? All available batch file commands are also listed by HELP. NEWFILE Type CONFIG.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-23 Remarks The NEWFILE command is especially useful when the CONFIG.SYS file is located on an inaccessible drive or in ROM. Additional device drivers or instructions can be added easily to the new file and will be processed along with the main CONFIG.SYS file upon starting the system. When the NEWFILE= instruction is processed, control will be passed from the present file (the one containing the NEWFILE instruction) to the file specified in the command.
6-24 ROM-DOS Commands PRINT.EXE Type External Purpose The PRINT utility prints a single file or a list of files. Syntax PRINT [/d:] [filename] [/options] Remarks PRINT allows you to enter between 1 and 32 files for spooling to the printer. The files are output to the device in a spooled manner (while the user performs other operations). If PRINT is entered without any parameters, then it displays all the files that are in the queue.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-25 The /T option cancels all the files from the print queue (list). Think of this as a terminator. The /H option will display the help screen. Examples PRINT puts three files into the print queue. The first file will start being printed after the command ends. PRINT FILE1.TXT FILE2.TXT FILE3.TXT The file FILE2.TXT will be removed from the print queue. All other files in the queue will print normally. PRINT /C FILE2.TXT All files in the print queue are canceled.
6-26 ROM-DOS Commands The /U option unloads the share utility and frees the memory. SHARE will not unload if other TSRs have been loaded on top of it. The other TSRs must be unloaded first before trying to unload SHARE. Examples The following example loads the SHARE program from the command line: SHARE The next example installs SHARE from the CONFIG.SYS file and changes the maximum number of locked files to 30: INSTALL=C:\UTILS\SHARE.EXE /l:30 The final example unloads SHARE and frees the used memory.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-27 SWITCHES Type CONFIG.SYS Purpose The SWITCHES command allows special CONFIG.SYS file options. Syntax SWITCHES=[/k][/n][/f] Remarks The /k argument makes an enhanced keyboard behave like a conventional-style keyboard. The /n argument prevents the use of the F5 and F8 function keys to bypass the startup commands. The /f argument instructs ROM-DOS to skip the delay after displaying the Starting ROM-DOS... message at boot time.
6-28 ROM-DOS Commands TREE.COM Type External Purpose The TREE command displays each subdirectory and optionally the files within them for a specified drive. Syntax TREE [d:] [/F] Remarks The TREE command displays the full path of each subdirectory on a specified disk. The d: specifies the drive that TREE will display the subdirectories from. This argument must be specified. Options The /F switch causes TREE to display the files in each subdirectory.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-29 VER Type Internal Purpose Displays the version number of ROM-DOS in use. Allows revision of this version number. Syntax VER [n.nn] [/R] Remarks If a new version number is specified, two digits after the decimal are required. Note that this command revises only the record of the DOS version number; it does not change the actual operating system loaded in the computer. The version command shows both the version of the VER command itself and the version of DOS in operation.
6-30 ROM-DOS Commands XCOPY.EXE Type External Purpose The XCOPY command copies multiple files and, optionally, subdirectories from one disk to another. Syntax XCOPY [source] [target] [/options] Remarks The XCOPY command is used for copying multiple files and subdirectories, if they exist. The source and the target parameter are complete drive path and file specification descriptions. If you do not specify a path, XCOPY assumes the default path. If a file name is not specified then *.* is assumed.
ROM-DOS Commands 6-31 The /W option causes XCOPY to wait before starting to copy files. The following prompt is displayed. Press any key to begin copying file(s) Example XCOPY to the A drive all files in the BIN subdirectory that have an EXE extension and that have the archive bit set. XCOPY \bin\*.exe a: /a XDEL Type External Purpose The XDEL command deletes files and subdirectories including empty subdirectories.
6-32 ROM-DOS Commands Examples The following examples will all use the diagram below as a reference: DIR1 SUB1 sub1file.txt SUB2 sub2file.txt SUB3 dir1file1.txt dir1file2.txt The following XDEL command would delete all of the files in the directories DIR1, SUB1, and SUB2 but not the directory headings themselves.

Chapter 7 The Docking Stations Introduction This chapter is intended for use by system administrators and advanced users who need to modify the 4-Slot Dock’s factory-configuration settings. LXE offers three powered docking stations for the 2325 – a stationary single dock that holds one 2325, a vehicle mounted single dock that holds one 2325 and a four slot dock that holds from one to four 2325s.
7-2 The Single Dock The Single Dock A cable and power adapter for the Single Dock are available separately. To make your own cables, see Appendix A for pin assignments. Figure 7-1 Single Dock 1 2325 Receptacle 2 Power Indicator 3 Ready Indicator Attaching the Single Dock to a Computer Complete the following steps: 2325 Reference Guide 1. Attach the 25-pin end of the cable to the cable connector on the back of the Single Dock. 2.
The Single Dock 7-3 Figure 7-2 Back Panel of the Single Dock 1 Power input jack 2 Cable connector The Power Adapter Important: If the 2325 contains non-rechargeable batteries, do not connect the power supply to the dock. You can use a 9-volt power adapter with the Single Dock to recharge the batteries in the 2325. Power adapters are available from LXE. Attach the small, round plug of the power adapter to the power input jack on the back of the Single Dock.
7-4 The Single Dock Using a Single Dock Set up the Single Dock as described in the preceding sections. Place the 2325 into the dock, with the keypad facing the front. If you are using a power adapter, the green LED labeled READY on the front panel of the Single Dock should light up. Note: If the READY light does not come on, make sure the POWER light is on and the 2325 is fully inserted into the dock, with the keypad facing out.

7-6 The Four Slot Dock The Four Slot Dock Front Panel The front panel of the 4-Slot Dock contains the mode indicators. Indicator Function COM Green when the 2325 in the slot is communicating with the host. All other slots in the docking station (and when more than one four slot dock is connected to another in a docking station network) must wait until it has finished communicating. CHARGE Red when 2325 batteries are being charged. Green when 2325 batteries are fully charged.
The Four Slot Dock 7-7 Back Panel The back panel of the 4-Slot Dock has cable jacks for connections to the host computer and other 4-Slot Docks. The power input jack is also located there. (For information about connecting docks, see “Creating a Dock Network.”).
7-8 The Four Slot Dock Creating a Dock Network The following figure shows the back of two docks in a network. The dock on the left is connected to a third dock (which may be connected to another dock). The dock on the right is connected to the host computer with an RS-232 cable. (To use an RS-422/485 connection to the host, you would use the telephone-style jack at the far right. The RS-232 connector would not be used.) Each 4-Slot Dock unit in the network must be connected to a power supply.
The Four Slot Dock 7-9 Installation Power Adapter Use one of the following: • US: US style 110VAC plug • International: 100–250VAC 47–63Hz input with IEC320 (includes power cord) Cables To connect the 4-Slot Dock to a host computer, use one of the following: • RS-232 cable • RS-422/485 cable (custom-built for your application) To form a network of multiple 4-Slot Docks, connect the docks to each other with either of the following LXE cables: • Two-foot cable • Ten-foot cable Note: See Appendi
7-10 The Four Slot Dock Using the 4-Slot Dock Charging Batteries To charge the rechargeable batteries in a 2325, place the 2325 into any slot of a 4-Slot Dock that is connected to a power supply. The dock does not need to be connected to a computer. Transferring Data To transfer programs or data files between a 2325 and a computer through a 4-Slot Dock, you can use the XFER utility, the Configuration Utility, or any standard serial-transfer program.
The Four Slot Dock 7-11 The 4SLOT.SYS Device Driver To use terminal-demand mode within a custom application or to use host-controlled mode, you should have the 4SLOT.SYS DOS device driver installed on the portable. The 4SLOT.SYS driver extends the capabilities of the DOS COM driver and provides a programming interface so that custom programs can request, detect, and drop access to the 4-Slot Dock communications line. For host-controlled mode, the 4SLOT.
7-12 The Four Slot Dock Transferring Files with XFER You can transfer files with the XFER utility on the 2325. XFER has the ability to automatically request access to the communications line from the 4-Slot Dock, whether the 4-Slot Dock device driver is loaded or not. To use XFER to transfer a file to the 2325, place the 2325 in a slot on the 4-Slot Dock. On the 2325, type in the command to receive a file, which is typically the following: C:\> xfer /r filename.
The Four Slot Dock 7-13 Setting the Baud Rate The 4-Slot Dock is capable of operating at the following baud rates: 9600 19200 38400 115200 It is configured for 19200 baud at the factory. When running in host-controlled mode, the 4-Slot Dock network must be informed of the baud rate the host and 2325s will be using and so that it can set itself accordingly. To enable the 4-Slot Dock network to detect and set the baud rate, follow the procedure below.
7-14 The Four Slot Dock network, the 4-Slot Dock will receive a blank unit ID ([ ]). A slot will return the reserved Unit ID [UNKNOWN] if the 2325 in the slot is powered off, the 2325 does not have the 4-Slot Dock driver (4slot.sys) loaded, or the baud rate of the 2325 is not set to the same baud rate as the 4-Slot Dock network and host computer.

Vehicle Mounted DC Single Dock 7-17 DC Single Dock Vehicle Wiring and Mounting Instruction Introduction The DC Single dock is intended for mounting in typical over the road vehicles such as step vans or semi tractors. Because of the variety of vehicle configurations and personal driver preferences, no one mounting configuration can suit all applications. LXE does offer a vehicle mounting bracket that provides vibration isolation, but in many cases the user may want to provide their own mounting hardware.
7-18 Vehicle Mounted DC Single Dock Quick Start 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Assemble mounting bracket. Install Mounting Bracket on a stable, flat surface. Use the LXE Vehicle Mounting Bracket or an equivalent mounting assembly. Insert the 2325 in the DC Singledock Bracket Assembly. Connect power source to the Singledock. Dock Power LED illuminates. Turn the 2325 on. You are ready to begin standalone operation. Vehicle 12VDC Connection Important Equipment is designed to use 11 to 16.5 volt power source only.
Vehicle Mounted DC Single Dock Caution: 7-19 Correct electrical polarity and grounding is required for safe and proper installation. Only connect to a negative ground DC supply circuit. Not for installation to positive ground circuits. When the Singledock is connected to an unswitched outlet on the fuse box the 2325 battery will always receive a charge from the vehicle battery. If the unit is left turned on for extended periods of time, the 2325 could drain the vehicle battery.

You can use the Configuration Utility or the barcodes provided in appendix C to program your 2325. Also included in this chapter are listings of files installed on the unit when using LXE’s terminal emulation programs. Note: New parameters added in Revision B: Ames Enable (ID 51) and Spotting Beam Enable (ID D7).
B-2 Parameters, Settings, and Defaults all maximum lengths to the highest values. This default set is normally used only for troubleshooting. It gives you the best chance of reading an unknown barcode symbology and also identifies the symbology of each barcode you scan. Predefined Default 2 (D2) is the default set that was installed in the 2325 at the factory. This default set will work for most applications.
