The supported emulations with their respective protocols are:
• 9010/ TCP/IP (See page 135 for configuration parameters).
• 3274/Telnet (See pages 149 to 164 for Configuration Parameters).
• 5250/Telnet (See pages 165 to 179 for Configuration Parameters).
• ANSI/Telnet (See pages 180 to 190 for Configuration Parameters).
• RF Modem (See page 191 for Configuration Parameters).
When the 9150 functions as a base station, it communicates with a 9010/ TCP/IP
host. The 9010 protocol is a proprietary asynchronous protocol developed by Psion
Teklogix which uses TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) or ANSI data streams to
communicate with terminals. For detailed information, please refer to the appropriate
Teklogix User Manual for: 9400 Network Controller, TSDK, TESS or ANSI.
However, when the 9150 acts as a mini-controller, it uses the 3274 and 5250 emula-
tion protocols to communicate with IBM hosts, or the ANSI emulation protocol to
communicate with ANSI hosts. For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as
a mini-controller, please refer to Chapter 6: “Mini-Controller Configuration”.
Terminal Range
The values entered in this parameter designate the first and last terminals in the
range of terminals that will communicate with the host. These terminal numbers are
mapped to this particular host.
