If the Terminal displays the “Waiting on Host Prompt” message, the host
program is not communicating with the Base Station. There is no radio
problem, because the Base Station has already acknowledged the
Terminal’s Sign In. The Terminal is waiting on the Host to tell it to do
something. Try the demo program; if it works the problem is your program.
If using the Active X program with XP, be sure "connection pooling" is
disabled.
If the demo program fails, the problem is one of the following:
1. The cable between the Base Station and host computer is bad. Try
the test with extension cables removed.
2. The host COM port is bad or assigned to another device driver
installed. Try another COM port or try another computer.
3. RARELY !!!The RS232 chip (U13 location) on the Base Station is
bad. If you have other Bases, swap these pluggable chips to see if
the problem goes away.
