Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Overview 6.1 Overview The network controller in a Teklogix system performs a number of important tasks. One of these tasks is emulation: the translation of data between the protocol of the host computer and the protocol used by Teklogix terminals. The data which is sent from a host computer to a terminal to provide its display, and returned to the host as a result of operations at the terminal, is called a data stream.

Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Mini-Controller Configuration Menu 6.2 Mini-Controller Configuration Menu For operation as a mini-controller, the parameters in the Hosts pages under MiniController Configuration should be set appropriately. The Hosts options are found on the Configuration Main Menu page. For information on configuring radio protocol parameters, please refer to “Radio Link Features” on page 128.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Hosts Menu 6.3 Hosts Menu The drop-down menu in this option shows the host names present on the system. Up to six hosts can be supported. A “host” must be configured for each host that communicates with the 9150 mini-controller. Opening the Configure dialog box for a selected host lists the parameters that can be modified or deleted for that host. New hosts can be added by selecting “[#] Create New” in the drop-down menu before entering the Configure dialog box.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Hosts Menu Emulation and Protocol This drop-down menu provides a list of host emulations and communication protocols supported by the 9150. Working with Teklogix terminals and base stations, the 9150 can emulate IBM 3278-2, 5251-11, and 5555-B01 terminals, as well as ANSI terminals and RF Modems. Protocols are the methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various media such as Ethernet and radio-link connections.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Host Menu Options 6.4 Host Menu Options When you choose an existing host name from the Hosts listbox and then select the Configure button, the 9150 displays the Host Menu. The Host Menu presents the options for four sub-menus: General Host Options, Emulation Options, Protocol Options, and Function Key Mappings. There is also a Main Menu button.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Host Menu Options As illustrated in Figure 6.2 on page 146, the four configuration sub-menus display the following options: “General Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the General Options page for the host. “Emulation Options” When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Emulation Options page for the host. This page may vary depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected for the host.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration General Options 6.4.1 General Options In this screen, you can select general options for the host connection. The host connection may also be deleted (see “Delete” on page 149). Name This parameter allows you to enter a name for the new host. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( √ ) for terminals to communicate with this host.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 9010 Emulations Delete When choosing to delete a host from the Hosts list, you will be prompted for confirmation of the deletion, which will give you the opportunity to cancel the action. 6.4.2 9010 Emulations When the 9150 acts as a base station, it uses the 9010 protocol (a proprietary asynchronous protocol developed by Psion Teklogix) to communicate with a 9400 Network Controller, or a host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit (TSDK).
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet 150 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Is Host Fujitsu If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller expects the data from the host to contain commands, etc., native to a Fujitsu host. Enabling this parameter causes the standard IBM formatting codes (for start of field, setting buffers, etc.) to be replaced by the codes used by Fujitsu host computers.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through On the screen to be sent through the terminal serial port, the word PASSTHRU (in capital letters) must appear on the first line, starting on the second column. The actual data to be sent to the terminal may start anywhere below the first line. With 5250 or 3274 emulations, attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Note: The Procedures parameter must also be enabled for Local to work. Host Print When this parameter is enabled, the host can send extra data to the terminal’s screens, and instruct the terminal to print it. This is in contrast to the Local Print feature, where the terminal makes the initial print request. The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into the 24 x 80 application screen.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Notes: 1. Unlike the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer. 2. Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal in its Printer command under the TESS Features menu; refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Transmit Line When this feature is enabled, all modified data at the terminal is automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into a transmit-upon-entry field. The value in this textbox specifies the line on the screen which is designated the transmit line. The last entry field above or on the transmit line on the screen will be identified as the transmit-upon-entry field.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Mode 0 1 2 3 +4 +8 +16 AIAG Prefix (data) Function Display prefix, send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, send prefix to host. Display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Add 4 to above values to cause transmit to host when all AIAG fields with 4 set are filled. Function 0 is “pressed” if there are any fields with this bit set, and all fields with this bit set have been filled by operator input.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When the information arrives at the terminal screen, the appropriate AIAG field for the scanned information is located using the “AIAG Identifier”. Because Mode 0 was set at the host, the “AIAG Prefix” – I – is displayed on the terminal screen, and when this screen is completed, the prefix will be sent back to the host. AIAG Information From Host To Terminal Screen AIAG Field Identifier Item No. @ I AIAG Prefix (data) Figure 6.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When an entry (even one that doesn’t match the preloaded data) is made in a match field, the entry is sent to the host as part of the terminal’s modified data during the next transmission. Character # & ^ _ | " ? ' : ; Description Match a number. Match a letter (either case). Match an uppercase letter. Match a lowercase letter. Match an alphanumeric character. Match a letter, number or space. Match a punctuation character. Match any character.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Serial I/O Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by preceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field, the data will be sent to the terminal’s serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the terminal’s serial port.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Field Overhead This parameter contains the maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the 9150 to join them into one field. Sometimes the 9150 will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link. For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was ‘5’, then these fields would be joined into one.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet 6.4.3.2 Protocol Options This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page (see page 148). The 9150 displays this version of the Protocol Options page when you select the emulation/protocol combination of 3274/Telnet for this host. Terminal Type This parameter allows you to choose the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150 for this host.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4. First Local Terminal Port This parameter contains the local port number from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. The default value is 0.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each terminal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet 6.4.3.3 Function Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Function Key Mapping page when you select 3274 emulation for this host. Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet 6.4.4 5250/Telnet 6.4.4.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the 5250/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. With IBM 5250, or IBM 3274 emulation, the 9150 mini-controller converts the application data stream from the host to TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) commands. Some of the parameters in this page govern the conversion of the host screens to TESS.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet By default, all empty entry fields displayed at the Teklogix terminal are highlighted by the “entry character” chosen in the terminal’s configuration (not all Teklogix terminals support video attributes). The Clear feature creates an empty entry field in place of an entry field filled with spaces. Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data sent to the host remains unaffected.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Procedures If this parameter is enabled, the host may send TESS procedures through the 9150 to the terminals. A TESS procedure is a group of TESS commands that can be executed by the TESS execute procedure command. Local If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to provide pages to be loaded as local TESS procedures in the terminals. The local procedures are selected from a menu at the terminal.

Unlike the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer. 2. Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal in its Printer command under the TESS Features menu; refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Pages This parameter determines the number of host screens (or pages) stored at the terminal, to a maximum of 16. The 9150 reduces data transmitted to the terminals by using the terminal’s capability to store a page of data for each screen it displays. The 9150 maintains an image of each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries to match the screen with a stored page.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The format of the preloaded data is as follows: The mode character used with the command allows for different operating modes to suit various application operations. The automatic locate and fill operation applies only to data received from a bar code reader. Descriptions of the modes and AIAG prefix are listed in the table below. These modes are set at the host.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Example: The information in the sample screen below is defined at and sent from the host. It includes the “AIAG Identifier” – the tag identifying this as an AIAG field – followed by the mode, in this case Mode 0, and finally, the “AIAG Prefix” – I. AIAG Information From Host AIAG Field Identifier AIAG Prefix (data) Item No. @ 0I Mode Figure 6.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. To use the Visible Match feature, the host computer preloads data into a match entry field; the data is visible on the terminal screen.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Example: Suppose you want to preload an entry field with a part number. If the part number is known, you can preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is needed, and the part number always begins with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen and four digits, the match string for the field would be: &&–#### .
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Barcode Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a bar code reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-inputonly by preceding the field with a special character. The range for this parameter – 0 to 127 – represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Currently, the only command supported is ALARM (refer to page 166 for details on this command). When the word “ALARM” is placed anywhere within the command region, the 9150 will send a TESS beep command to the terminal. 6.4.4.2 Protocol Options This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page (see page 148).
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Host Port This parameter allows you to enter a host port value for the selected 5250/Telnet host connection. The default value is 23. Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Virtual Device Name prefix This parameter specifies a prefix for the automatically-generated virtual device name. The device name on the host starts with the prefix, specifies the terminal (as a number), and specifies a session number (as a letter). For example, if the virtual device name prefix is TLX, the first session on terminal number 2 receives a virtual device name of TLX0002A.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet 6.4.4.3 Function Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Function Key Mapping page when you select 5250 emulation for this host. Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5 ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5.1 Emulation Options The 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. Maximum Screen Size The Maximum Screen Size allows you to set the maximum required screen size in terminals, by rows and columns. This feature ensures the optimal use of memory when using the page saving option (see “Page Saving” on page 182).
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet If the 9150 does not receive any characters from the host after this timeout has elapsed, it assumes that the host has finished sending data and is waiting for user input (in other words, it assumes that a screen of data has been completed). Important: The Page Saving parameter (page 182) must be enabled in order to change the value in the Host Timeout parameter.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Notes: 1. This parameter also determines whether an ANSI parameter query is sent to the terminal. 2. “Smart” Echo also needs to be enabled at the terminal (refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual). Function Key Remapping If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 remaps the function keys for this host connection as defined in the Function Key Remapping page (page 190).
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet When Page Saving Consider Double Byte Character is enabled, Page Saving will replace any orphaned double byte character half with a space to prevent modified characters and truncated data from being displayed on the terminal. The default value is disabled. Note: This option should only be used when using double byte character sets. RLE If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses run-length encoding (RLE) on the data it sends across the radio link.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet 1 Terminal Type This parameter specifies the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150. The characters entered in the textbox can be any ASCII string acceptable to the host, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default value is VT100.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Host Port This parameter specifies the value for the host port for the selected ANSI host connection. The default value is 23. Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Session Cycle Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to display the next ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 2. Last Active Session Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to display the last ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 5.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Auto-telnet Host This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150 connects Auto-telnet sessions. Note: A host name placed in this textbox must be “resolvable” by the 9150: the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host name may correspond to an entry in the 9150’s host table, or the 9150 may be able to query a domain-name server.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Auto-login User ID prompt The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent its request for a user name, and it sends the user ID specified in the Auto-Login User ID parameter to the host. The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default text is gin:.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Allow TCP Sessions When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows a terminal user to switch prompts or sessions while at the prompt (either Auto-login or TCP). If Allow TCP Sessions is disabled, all new sessions will open as Auto-login sessions. Requesting sessions (normally a on the terminal) can be used at the prompt level to change the type of prompt (if the other type of prompt is available).
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5.3 Function Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version (page 191) of the Function Key Mapping page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for the host connection.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration RF Modem/Telnet Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal. Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on the screen above. 6.4.6 RF Modem/Telnet RF Modem/Telnet is intended for a controller communicating with a Teklogix Model 6040 RF Modem.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ V2 Features Menu First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 10000. The default value is 10000 (disabled). 6.4.6.3 Function Key Mappings These parameters are not applicable to the RF Modem emulation. 6.5 802.
Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration The 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration page is entered from the 802.IQ v2 Features menu on the main web page, under Mini-Controller Configuration. 6.5.1.1 802.IQ v1/v2 Common Features Auto Startup This parameter enables ( √ ) 802.IQ immediately when the 9150 is rebooted.

Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration Beacon Period An 802.IQ beacon is a broadcast sent out to all 802.IQ-enabled terminals. The beacon allows terminals to determine when they have roamed between base stations. It enables a terminal to determine whether or not the base station or controller was rebooted and, if so, how to recover. If the controller was rebooted, the terminal closes all sessions and fully re-initializes.

Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Fault Monitoring 7.1 Fault Monitoring Once power to a port is applied, the microcontroller enters a fault monitoring mode. The diagnostic functions are: • • • Low current condition High current condition Power Monitoring (conducted regardless of port state) 7.1.
Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Power Monitoring 7.1.3 Power Monitoring The 9100 power monitoring circuit constantly checks the operating condition of the internal power supply. If the power goes out of range, all ports are turned off, and all LEDs will be in Fast blink mode. 7.2 Diagnostics and Status Reporting The 9100 PowerBaseT console port consists of a UART port on the microcontroller, RS232 transceiver (U7) and a DB9 connector.

Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Diagnostics and Status Reporting Low Current fault A 9150DC that was previously being powered on this port has either been disconnected, or is not operating correctly. The 9100 will remove power from the port and remain in this state for a minimum of two seconds before transitioning to the OFF state. The port will continue to indicate the Low Current fault until it either transitions to the ON state, or is disabled via the console.
