RF Terminal Menu Functions

Upon power-up, the RF Terminal displays the following opening screen:

 The Terminal Model is displayed on the first Line

 On second line on the screen, FIRMWARE: U7xxx, gives the firmware revision number. The letter U indicates USA fre-

quency.

 HWy indicates the version of the hardware.

 Rzz refers to the version of the radio processor firmware.

 TERM ID: 0 refers to the current Terminal ID. The default setting is 0. Every Terminal must have a unique ID.

 Line 3 refers to the channel currently used by the RF Terminal. USA CHANNEL: 0 refers to a Terminal set to channel 0.

(The opening screen can be bypassed upon power up. See Chapter 2)

 Press the 1 key to SIGN ON to a two-way communication host computer program through the Base station.

 Pressing 2 enters the Setup Mode for the RF Terminal or Base station.

 Press 3 to enter ONE-WAY mode. ONE-WAY mode allows the RF Terminal to transmit data to the host computer without

prompting from the host computer program – we call this “dumb” data entry. (If you want a Terminator Character on the bar

code, you will have to enter a Postamble using the Setup Menu). ONE-WAY mode is also useful for demos, as it does not re-

quire any interaction from the host computer.

 Press 4 to enter SITE TESTING. SITE TESTING is an excellent way to assess your RF communication in any area. It can help

you determine the best place to locate your Base station for maximum RF performance as well as troubleshoot problems that

may relate to range or interference.

You can back-out of any mode or prompt by pressing the F1 key. For example, if you select SETUP MODE but really want ONE

WAY MODE, press the F1 key to take you back to the menu. The F1 key on the RF Terminal keypad works like the ESC key on

the PC – it will usually get you out and back to the previous step. You can use the F1 key to exit and SIGN OUT when using a

Two-Way communication program running on the host computer.

The entire mode menu can be skipped (see Chapter 2; RF System Setup), causing the RF Terminal to automatically SIGN-ON or

go to ONE-WAY mode on power up.
