software, provided that Fortress is immediately notified in writing and Fortress has
the right to control the defense of all such claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings.
If, as a result of any claim of infringement against any U.S. patent or copyright,
Fortress is enjoined from using the Product, or if Fortress believes the Product is
likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, Fortress at its option and
expense may procure the right for Customer to continue to use the Product, or
replace or modify the Product so as to make it non-infringing.
If neither of these two options is reasonably practicable, Fortress may discontinue
the license granted herein on one month’s written notice and refund to Licensee the
unamortized portion of the license fees hereunder. The depreciation shall be an
equal amount per year over the life of the Product as established by Fortress. The
foregoing states the entire liability of Fortress and the sole and exclusive remedy of
the Customer with respect to infringement of third party intellectual property.

liability, Customer is entitled to recover damages from Fortress. In each such
instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from
Fortress (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other
contract or tort claim), Fortress is liable for no more than damages for bodily injury
(including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property, and
the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to either U.S. $25,000 (or
equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12 months´ charges apply)
for the Product that is the subject of the claim, whichever is less. This limit also
applies to Fortress’s suppliers and Fortress Authorized Resellers. It is the maximum
for which Fortress, its suppliers, and Authorized Reseller are collectively
responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS FORTRESS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES,
2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA, OR 3) SPECIAL,

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS),
EVEN IF FORTRESS, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED
OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO CUSTOMER.

 Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Preparing Terminals For Operation

2.1 Preparing Terminals For Operation

This section of the manual details the basic steps you’ll need to prepare your
hand-held and vehicle-mount terminals for operation.

2.1.1 Client-Side Emulation Software

For terminals equipped with the Client-Side Emulation feature, you’ll need to
review the Connect Inc. manual, “Twin Client Reference for the 7035, 8255 and
8260 terminals manufactured by Psion Teklogix” that is shipped with your
client-side emulation terminal. It details how to install and activate the client-side
emulation software.

2.2 Preparing The 7035 For Operation

Note: For vehicle-mount installation instructions, refer to “Installing
8255/8260 Vehicle-Mount Terminals” beginning on page 20.
Preparing the 7035 terminal for operation includes installing the battery pack, and if
an external antenna is required, connecting the antenna to the 7035.
Important: All battery packs must be charged before use. A description of
battery chargers is provided in Chapter 8: Terminal Accessories
beginning on page 203.

2.2.1 Connecting The 7035 Whip Antenna

7035s equipped with internal antennas do not require whip antennas. A plastic cap
covers the antenna connector on terminals with internal antennas.
If your site requires that external antennas, the appropriate antenna will be shipped
with your terminal. (“Antenna Types” on page 212 lists available antennas.)
When you attach the antenna, make certain that it is securely attached to the
terminal. Failure to do so can result in poor communication quality.

2.2.2 The Battery Pack – Removing And Installing

The 7035 hand-held terminal operates with a Lithium-Ion battery pack.
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is
critical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines
listed on page 45 and also in the section titled “Lithium-Ion
Battery Safety Precautions” on page 201.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual 17

Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
The Battery Pack – Removing And Installing

Warning: When a battery is removed from the terminal, a backup of the

system, application and any work in progress is maintained for
up to 10 minutes. A fresh battery must be installed within this 10
minute time frame. THIS BACKUP WILL NOT FUNCTION
UNLESS THE TERMINAL IS TURNED OFF BEFORE THE
BATTERY IS REMOVED. Removing the battery while the unit is
operating will result in a full reboot.
Even after the system backup has expired, the date and time are
maintained for 100 hours without a battery.
To remove the battery pack:
• Turn the terminal upside down (antenna pointing down).
• Grasp the unit around the keypad area with your forefinger resting on
the battery release button.
The battery release button is located at the base of the terminal, just above the
28-pin port.
• Press the button until the battery unlatches.

2.2.3 Attaching The 7035 Hand-Strap Or The Pistol Grip

Note: For a list of additional accessories, refer to “Accessories List” on
page 222.

2.2.3.1 Attaching The Hand Strap

Note: A Phillips head screwdriver is required.
Teklogix recommends that the hand strap provided with your terminal always be
used. However, if your terminal has an internal scanner and you plan to use the
pistol grip accessory, a hand strap is not required.
Each end of the hand strap has two holes drilled in it. The holes nearest the outer
edges of the hand strap allow the hand strap to be installed more loosely while
the holes closer to the centre of the strap provide a tighter fit. The hand strap
can be secured either on the left or the right side of the terminal, depending on
operator preference.
Two black #4-40 Phillips head screws are provided with the hand strap for
attachment. Four threaded inserts are available on the back of the terminal. The hand
strap can be attached either to the upper- and lower-most inserts on the left side of
the terminal or to the upper- and lower-most inserts on the right side of the terminal.
To attach the hand strap, choose on which side of the terminal the hand strap is to be
attached and securely fasten the screws into the back of the terminal.

2.2.3.2 Attaching The Pistol Grip

Note: A Phillips head screwdriver is required.
The four threaded inserts in the upper part of the terminal casing are used to attach
the pistol grip. Four black #4-40 Phillips head screws are provided with this
accessory.

Note: Prior to installation, make sure the trigger mechanism has been securely
snapped into the pistol grip body and the trigger operates properly.

Position the pistol grip so that it fits snugly over the back of the terminal and the
holes on the terminal and pistol grip are aligned. Using a Phillips screw driver,
securely fasten the pistol grip to the back of the terminal.

The antenna consists of the antenna whip and a magnetic mount with cable. To
attach it, follow the guidelines below.
• For narrow band and WAN radios, turn the antenna in a clockwise direction.
• For spread spectrum radios, turn the antenna in a counter-clockwise
direction.
The antenna works best when placed vertically and away from metal objects that
may interfere with the radio signal. The best location for the magnetic mount on a
fork lift truck is on the middle of the roof or cab cover, at least 20 centimeters away
from the operator.
Warning: As a safety precaution, USERS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO
CHANGE THE ANTENNA.

2.3.5 Installing The Cables

Note: Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage.
When installing the cables between the terminal and other devices, consider
the following:
• Ensure the drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Protect cables by using grommets when cables pass through metal.
• Prevent cables and connectors from moving and loosening by using
plastic straps.

24 Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual

 Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Installing The Extension Power Cable

• Keep the cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid, and other
potential hazards.
• Keep the cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that
may pull on the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
• Leave enough slack on the cables so that the terminal can be removed
easily for maintenance.

2.3.6 Installing The Extension Power Cable

The terminal has a short power cord and connector. The extension power cable
(PN 13985) should be connected from the terminal’s power cord to a fused power
source capable of carrying the additional 3 Amps required by standard terminals or
5 Amps for freezer terminals.
Note: For vehicles operating on 24 Volts or above, connections must be made as
close to the vehicle battery as possible.
If an unfused power source must be used, install the fuse assembly (PN 19440)
provided with PN 13985. To connect the fuse assembly, push the male connector
of the fuse assembly into the female connector at the positive (red) lead of the
power cable. Connect the red lead to the positive side of the battery. Connect
the black lead to the negative side of the battery.
Warning: Do not reverse the polarity or connect to a voltage outside the
10-55 volt range.
Note: When installing terminals on vehicles operating on 24 Volts and above,
the diode assembly (supplied with the extension power cable 13985)
must be used to reduce the AC ripple produced by the SCR traction motor
controller on the vehicle. To connect the diode, push the male connector
on the diode assembly into the female connector on the positive (red) lead
of the power cable. If the fuse assembly is already installed, connect
the diode assembly to the fuse assembly as described in the previous
sentence. Connect the red wire from the diode assembly to a fused power
source on the vehicle.
It is recommended that all connections be secured with electrical tape or
heat shrink to prevent contaminants from degrading the connection.

Turning The Terminals On And Off

2.4 Turning The Terminals On And Off

Important: Any differences in operation between the 7035 hand-held and the
8255/8260 vehicle-mount terminals are explicitly indicated.

The Teklogix 7035, 8255 and 8260 terminals are fully functional personal
computers (PCs), compatible with the IBM AT (486) architecture. They normally
come pre-loaded with DOS. These terminals are intended to be used in terminal
emulation mode for real-time wireless data transaction processing. However, they
can also be used stand-alone in batch mode.
The remainder of this manual describes terminal operation as it applies to normal
terminal emulation mode, utilizing wireless communication to a host computer.
The operation of these terminals depends on the application software running on the
host computer. The terminals’ interaction with the application depends on both
the terminal operating system and the terminal hardware. This chapter outlines the
unique features of the hardware. For more information on the terminal operating
system, see Chapter 7: Setting Parameters.

2.4.1 7035 Hand-Held Terminal

2.8 Terminal Indicators

Teklogix terminals use LEDs (Light Emitting Diode), onscreen messages and
beepers as indicators.

2.8.1 LEDs
Transmit And Receive
Two LEDs indicate the transmit and receive status of data. On the 7035, they are
located on the left and right of the <SCAN> key. On the vehicle-mounts, the LEDs
are located to the left on the keyboard and are labelled TX and RX
• The amber TX (transmit) LED flashes when the terminal transmits data.
• The green RX (receive) LED flashes momentarily during the boot process.
After boot up, it flashes when the terminal receives data.

Key Shift LEDs – 8255 And 8260 Only

The 8255 and 8260 vehicle-mount terminals are equipped with additional LEDs that
indicate whether or not a mode key is locked “on”. Mode keys include – <CTRL>,
<ALT>, <SHIFT>, <ORANGE> and <BLUE>. For example, when the <CTRL>
key is locked “on”, the “CTRL” LED stays on solidly. If a key has been activated
but is not locked “on”, the “CTRL” LED blinks.

2.8.2 The Status Area – 7035 Only

The 7035 terminal has a status area at the bottom of the terminal screen that
indicates which mode keys are currently active. The key or keys pressed are
displayed in lowercase letters at the bottom of the screen. For example, if you press
the <CTRL> key, it is displayed as ctrl in the status area.
The status area also indicates whether or not the function of a mode key has been
locked “on”. Keys that have been locked “on” are displayed in the status area in
uppercase letters. For example, if you press the <CTRL> key twice to lock it “on”, it
is displayed as CTRL in the status area. Refer to “Onscreen Indicators – 7035 Only”

 Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Scanning Techniques

• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different
bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
• Check that the bar code is within the proper range (see page 239).
• Does the terminal display the warning without scanning? This suggests a
hardware problem in the 7035.
The terminal can be configured to enable a function (such as <ENTER>) by
pressing the trigger twice within a time period which is measured in milliseconds.
See “Click Time” on page 135 for more details. This function is independent of the
aiming dot override described earlier in this section, under “Operation Of The
Integrated Scanner” on page 37 and only applies after a successful scan.

2.10.3 Scanning Techniques

The Scanner Angle
• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect
back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.

Scan Symbol Variations

• Scan the entire symbol. The scan beam must cross every bar and space
on the bar code, including the margins on either end of the symbol.
• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.

2.11 Infrared (IrDA) Port – 7035 Only

The IrDA port is the small red window at the top of the 7035. This port can transmit
an infrared signal to printer equipped with an IrDA adaptor. The maximum distance
between IrDA devices is 18 inches.

Important: The IrDA port is connected to the COM1 serial port UART. A
serial peripheral connected to COM1 cannot be used while the
IrDA port is active.

Low Temperature, Freezer and Outdoor Terminals

2.12 Low Temperature, Freezer and Outdoor Terminals

Teklogix has developed a range of hand-held and vehicle-mount terminals that can
withstand low temperatures, outdoor use, and/or freezer applications. Each
terminal’s capabilities along with a list of operating guidelines is provided in this
document.

2.12.1 Hand-Held Terminals

7035 Freezer Terminals
Important: A 7035 freezer terminal will cold-start if left in a freezer;
HOWEVER, you may experience long delays while the internal
heater warms the liquid crystal display to a temperature that can
provide an acceptable refresh rate.
In cases where the 7035 freezer terminal is left to freeze in an
environment below -20˚ C (-4˚ F), and the battery has less than a
30% charge remaining, the terminal may not power up properly.
IN ORDER TO AVOID THESE ISSUES, we recommend that the
7035 freezer terminal be stored and powered up at temperatures
above 0˚ C (32˚ F).
• For use in temperatures ranging from -30˚ C to 50˚ C (-22˚ F to 122˚ F).
• Water-sealed to IP 54 to withstand rain and condensing environments.
• 7035 terminals must be used with a rubber boot or vinyl protective carrying
case to enhance drop performance below 0˚ C (32˚ F).

2.12.2 Vehicle-Mount Terminals

8255/8260 Standard Temp., Low Temp., and Freezer vehicle-mount terminals are
sealed against dust and high-pressure water jets to the international standard IP66.

8255/8260 Freezer Terminals

Warning: 8255 LCD terminals are not available in a low temperature or
freezer versions.
• 8260 LCD vehicle-mounts: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from
-30˚ C to 50˚ C (-22˚ F to 122˚ F).
• VFD and EL vehicle-mounts: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging
from -30˚ C to 60˚ C (-22˚ F to 140˚ F).

 Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Important Operating Instructions

Important: You can cold start a vehicle-mount freezer terminal at tempera-

tures as low as -30˚ C. HOWEVER, cold starting an 8255 or 8260
freezer terminal at or below -20˚ C results in a radio warm-up
period. An onscreen message indicates that the terminal is in
radio warm-up mode and displays the expected radio “on” tem-
perature and the actual temperature.
• Designed for condensing freezer and outdoor environments.
• Input power 24 – 48 VDC.

8255/8260 Low Temp. Terminals

Warning: While low temperature vehicle-mount terminals will operate at tem-
peratures as low as -30˚ C, THEY CANNOT BE COLD STARTED
AT TEMPERATURES BELOW -20˚ C.
• 8260 LCD vehicle-mounts: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from
-30˚ C to 50˚ C (-22˚ F to 122˚ F).
• VFD and EL vehicle-mounts: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging
from -30˚ C to 60˚ C (-22˚ F to 140˚ F).
• Designed for use in outdoor vehicle cab applications.
• Water sealed to withstand rain.
• Input power: 8255/8260 12 VDC

2.12.3 Important Operating Instructions

Warning: IT IS CRITICAL that this information be reviewed and that any
guidelines applicable to your terminal be strictly followed.

2.12.3.1 For All Freezer Terminals

• Use terminals only in the environments for which they are designed.
• DO NOT open the terminal casing and attempt to perform repairs. Only
Teklogix technicians are qualified to open and repair your terminal.
• All Teklogix freezer vehicle-mount terminals have built-in heaters where
required to warm internal components. To help maintain the temperature,
terminals should be switched on before entry into a freezer environment
and should be left on at all times while in a freezer environment.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual 41

Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
For Hand-Held Terminals Only

• Hand-held LCD terminals used in freezers may require some contrast

adjustment if the display darkens due to a rapid drop in temperature.
• When moving between freezer and warm, humid environments, window
condensation or icing on the outside of the display and scanner window is a
normal occurrence. Wiping the condensation from these windows may
help, but the operator may need to wait until the condensation stops forming
before use.
• To reduce condensation and frost on terminal displays, use an anti-fogging
agent once a week or as required.
• Contact lubricant and connector caps must be used on all external connec-
tors to maintain a moisture barrier and prevent corrosion during freezer and
outdoor use. For 7035 terminals, the contact lubricant – PN 93523 (Dow
Corning #111) must be used. On all versions of 8255/8260 vehicle-mount
terminals, the contact lubricant – PN 95146 (Nyogel) must be used. Further,
the appropriate contact lubricant should be replaced at least monthly in
applications requiring daily or frequent removal of cables. Refer to the table
below for connector cap part numbers.
Terminal Type Connector Cap Part No.

2.12.3.2 For Hand-Held Terminals Only

• Do not charge batteries in a freezer environment.
• If a hand-held terminal is left in a freezer environment for extended periods
of time with the power off, display response time and contrast are severely
affected. After turning the terminal on, the operator should allow a 15
minute warm-up period outside the freezer before use.
• Battery capacity is reduced as the operating temperature cools based on the
application and the type of radio used. The table below generally outlines
battery capacity based on the operating temperature.
Temperature 7035
Battery Capacity
-30˚ C (-22˚ F) 35%
-20˚ C (-4˚ F) 45%
-10˚ C (14˚ F) 60%
0˚ C (32˚ F) close to 80%

 Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
For Vehicle-Mount Terminals Only

2.12.3.3 For Vehicle-Mount Terminals Only

• 8260 LCD freezer vehicle-mount terminals have a delay programmed into
the software to prevent the display backlight from turning on if the internal
temperature sensor is below 10˚ C. The duration of the delay is between one
and two minutes, depending on the temperature measured by the sensor.
This delay is required to heat up the backlight tube, preventing damage
during cold temperature start up. Although the terminal is operational
during this time, it is extremely difficult to read the display until the back-
light is turned on.

Warning: Do not install a non-heated keyboard in an 8260 freezer terminal.

Conversely, do not install a heated keyboard in a standard tempera-
ture 8260 terminal.

Warning: Do not install the terminal in such a way that the power cable is
bent 90˚ at the terminal. Doing so may cause damage to the power
cable and power cable strain relief.

• To prevent condensation when a vehicle-mount freezer terminal is moved

from a freezer to a warmer environment, it is recommended that the termi-
nal power be left on for at least five minutes.
• When not in use, 8260 LCD vehicle-mount freezer terminals should be
stored in temperatures above 0˚ C (32˚ F).
• To prevent keyboard keys from freezing up, the keyboard should be
mounted off the horizontal plane. This allows water to run off the keyboard
and prevents it from pooling on the keypad, freezing and finally physically
jamming the keys. Mounting the keyboard off the horizontal plane also
prevents water from dripping onto the keypad area.

2.13 Maintenance
This section describes the measures that should be added to your equipment
maintenance routine.

Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Cleaning All Terminals

2.13.1 Cleaning All Terminals

Terminals can be cleaned with mild detergent and water. Ink marks on the
keyboard can be removed using a cotton ball moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

Warning: Do not immerse the unit in water. Never use strong cleansers.

2.13.2 7035 – Special Instructions

• The 7035 terminal has a plastic case that is susceptible to certain chemicals.
It is partially soluble in aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons, and slowly
decomposes in strong alkaline solutions. Avoid these solvents. Do not use
Loctite brand or other adhesives to secure screws used to attach accessories to
the case of the 7035 since the adhesive may damage the plastic (unless the
adhesives are specifically formulated for plastics).
• The 7035 scanner, IrDA port and display window should be cleaned with a
mild detergent and water, as required. Never apply cleaners directly on
the terminal – use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent.

Warning: To avoid scratching the display and scan windows, do not use
abrasive cleansers.

2.13.3 Maintaining The 7035 Battery

Important: “Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Precautions” on page 201 outlines
additional safety precautions. For detailed battery specifications,
refer to “Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7035 Only)” on page 241.
7035 terminals use Lithium-Ion batteries that do not require conditioning. Each
battery pack tracks its own capacity. A horizontal bar graph, referred to as a battery
gauge, is displayed in the status area of the terminal screen. It keeps track of the
percentage of remaining battery power capacity – 0 to 100%, resolution 10% of
nominal. The operator is notified when the battery capacity is low.

 Chapter 3: Keyboards – Operating Instructions
Keyboard Layouts

3.1 Keyboard Layouts

Depending on the type of terminal you use – hand-held or vehicle-mount – and the
type of keyboard chosen, keyboard operation varies slightly.
Operating instructions in this chapter are described section by section according to
keyboard type.

3.1.1 7035 Hand-Held Terminal Keyboards

7035 hand-helds are available with three keyboard layouts – 44-key, 56-key and
36-key. The function of each of these keyboards is described in the following
sections:
• 44-key – Page 59
• 56-key – Page 61
• 36-key – Page 63

3.1.2 8255 And 8260 Vehicle-Mount Terminal Keyboards

Vehicle-mount terminals are available in three different alphabetic layouts –
QWERTY, ABC and AZERTY.
In addition, all these keyboard layouts are available in two keyboard types –
‘F1 to F6’ and ‘F1 to ‘F10’. The ‘F1 To F6’ keyboard type is equipped with 6
yellow function keys that are directly accessible along the top row of the keyboard.
The ‘F1 To F10’ keyboard type is equipped with 10 yellow function keys across the
top of the keyboard. Depending on which keyboard type you are using, accessing
the extended function keys and the macro keys along with the <CTRL>, <ALT> and
<SHIFT> keys differ slightly. These differences are clearly outlined in each
keyboard section.
Important: Make certain that the appropriate keyboard type – ‘F1 to F6’
or ‘F1 to ‘F10’ – is selected in the “Keyboard Type” parameter
(see “Keyboard Type – Vehicle-Mounts Only” on page 132).
The vehicle-mount keyboards are described in the following sections:
• QWERTY – Page 69
• ABC – Page 75
• AZERTY – Page 79

Chapter 3: Keyboards – Operating Instructions
Keyboard Keys – A Description

3.2 Keyboard Keys – A Description

Note: Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the
differences are noted.
The 7035, 8255 and 8260 terminals are equipped with standard keyboard keys along
with two colour keys – an <ORANGE> key and a <BLUE> key – to allow access to
additional keys such as the extended function keys and the <CLR> key. Some of the
most frequently-used standard keyboard keys along with the keys accessed using the
<ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys are described in this section.

3.2.1 The Status Area – 7035 Only

The 7035 terminal has a status area at the bottom of the terminal screen that
indicates which mode keys are currently active. The key or keys pressed are
displayed in lowercase letters at the bottom of the screen. For example, if you press
the <CTRL> key, it is displayed as ctrl in the status area.
The status area also indicates whether or not the function of a mode key has been
locked “on”. Keys that have been locked “on” are displayed in the status area in
uppercase letters. For example, if you press the <CTRL> key twice to lock it “on”, it
is displayed as CTRL in the status area. Refer to “Onscreen Indicators – 7035 Only”
on page 31 and 32 for a description of all possible status area messages.

3.2.2 <ORANGE> And <BLUE> Keys

The <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys provide a means of accessing additional
keyboard options and characters.The functions and characters that are accessed
using the <ORANGE> or <BLUE> keys are colour coded in orange or blue print
above the standard keys, indicating you must first press the <ORANGE> or the
<BLUE> key before accessing a colour coded function or character.
As an example, on a hand-held terminal, to access the “CLR” function which is
printed in blue characters above the <DEL> key:
• Press the <BLUE> key and then, press the <DEL> key.
Important: When you press the <ORANGE> key only once, it is locked “on”
by default. You need to press the <ORANGE> key a second time to
unlock or turn it off. Refer to “Key Lock Function” on page 54
for a complete description of this function.
KEEP IN MIND that you can change the default key lock
function of the <ORANGE> key using the “One-Shot Mode”
parameter (see “One-Shot Mode” on page 123).

 Chapter 3: Keyboards – Operating Instructions
The Standard Keys

3.2.3 The Standard Keys

The <SHIFT> Key
The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase letters – and on 7035’s – it is also
used to access the punctuation marks displayed on the numeric keys. When this key
is pressed, it is only active until the next alphanumeric key is pressed. For example,
once you press <SHIFT> and type the letter q, the letter is displayed in uppercase
and the “shift” function turns off.
To display all alpha characters in uppercase, lock the <SHIFT> key “on” by
pressing it twice. To unlock the <SHIFT> key, press it a third time. For more
details about the lock function, refer to “Key Lock Function” on page 54.
Note: On vehicle-mounts without a dedicated <SHIFT> key, the <ORANGE>
key is used to access the <SHIFT> function.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow –
up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that
indicates where the next character you type will appear.

Manual Panning Keys (Arrow Keys)

If the contents of a screen are too large to fit in the margins of the terminal window,
they can be “panned” or shifted to display the information that is outside the
margins. The 7035, 8255 and 8260 terminals allow both manual and automatic
panning. The “Panning” parameter specifies when and how the screen contents
should be shifted.
Note: For details about Auto Panning, refer to “Auto Pan, Left Margin, Right
Margin And Bottom Margin” on page 126.
Manual panning – shifting the contents of the screen using the <BLUE> key in
combination with the <LEFT>, <RIGHT>, <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys –
relies on the values set in the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters to
determine the number of columns (spaces) and rows (lines) to pan or shift.
To access the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters:
• In the “Parameters” menu, position the cursor on the “System” option and
press <F1>.
• Move the cursor down to “Panning” and press <F1>.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual 51

Chapter 3: Keyboards – Operating Instructions
The Standard Keys

Important: Only the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters are used

for manual panning. The remaining parameters in the Panning
menu are used to specify auto panning margins.
“X Increment” determines the number of spaces the screen pans to the left or right
when the <BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow key.
“Y Increment” determines the number of lines the screen pans up or down when the
<BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <UP> or <DOWN> arrow key.
• Type a value in the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters.
To pan the screen contents:
• Press the <BLUE> key followed by the <RIGHT>, <LEFT>, <UP> or
<DOWN> arrow key to pan the entire screen of information.
Pressing <BLUE> <LEFT> arrow pans the screen to the right, pressing <BLUE>
<RIGHT> arrow pans the screen to the left, and so on.
Note: To more efficiently pan the content of the screen, try locking the <BLUE>
key “on” by pressing it twice. You can then press any arrow key in any
direction until the necessary information has been brought into view.
When you have finished panning the information, press the <BLUE> key
a third time to unlock or turn it off.

The <DEL/CLR> Key

The <DEL> key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor
one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. This key
operation is not consistent with the DELETE key on a PC keyboard. It is consistent
with the PC BACKSPACE key.
The <CLR> function erases the contents of the field in which the cursor resides.

The <CTRL> Key

The <CTRL> key modifies the next key pressed and is application dependent.For
example, in a macro field, pressing <CTRL> <L> (L is the ‘literal’ function)
followed by the <ENTER> key inserts the function of the <ENTER> key into the
macro. In TESS and ANSI applications, defined <CTRL> key combinations
perform specific actions. <CTRL> key functions for each application are described
in the appropriate chapters of this manual.
Note: On vehicle-mounts without a dedicated <CTRL> key, the <ORANGE>
key is used to access this function.

<ALT> Key
This key provides access to alternate commands as defined by the application you
are using.
Note: On vehicle-mount terminals without a dedicated <ALT> key, the
<ORANGE> key is used to access this function.

The <ESC> Key

While in the “Parameters” menu, pressing the <ESC> key closes the current menu
and displays the previous one. In an ANSI session, pressing this key sends an escape
character to the host. In a TESS session, the <ESC> key has no effect.
Note: On vehicle-mount terminals without a dedicated <ESC> key, the
<ORANGE> key is used to access this function.

The <TAB> Key

In a TESS application, pressing the <TAB> key moves the cursor into the next field
to the right. In an ANSI application, pressing the <TAB> key transmits a “TAB”
character to the host.
Note: Vehicle-mount terminals are not equipped with a dedicated <TAB> key.
The <ORANGE> key is used to access this function.

The <SPACE> Key

Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters.

The <SCAN> Key – 7035 Only

Pressing the <SCAN> key – the yellow key with the star-burst scan symbol on it –
activates the scanner beam. It is situated in the top-centre of the keyboard for easy
right- or left-handed access.

Locking The <SHIFT>, <ALT>, <CTRL> Or <BLUE> Keys
To lock the function of any of these keys “on”:
• Press the appropriate key twice.
Important: The <ORANGE> key is the only key that locks “on” when pressed
only once.
KEEP IN MIND however that you can change the default key
lock function of the <ORANGE> key using the “One-Shot Mode”
parameter (see “One-Shot Mode” on page 123).
On 7035 hand-held terminals, an onscreen message is displayed in uppercase letters
in the status area at the bottom of the terminal screen to indicate that a key is locked
“on”. For example, when the <CTRL> key is locked “on”, the onscreen message –
CTRL – is displayed in uppercase letters in the status area. For more information

3.5 36-Key 7035 Keyboards

3.5.1 Accessing Alpha Characters
On 36-key 7035s, all alpha characters are printed on the terminal plastic in orange
typeface above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must first press
the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha
character you want to type is printed.

Important: Keep in mind that when you press the <ORANGE> key only once,
it is locked “on” by default. You need to press the <ORANGE> key
a second time to unlock or turn it off. Refer to “Key Lock Func-
tion” on page 54 for a complete description of this function.

Because the alpha keys on a 36-key keyboard are laid out much like the letters on a
telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a
few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples below help
illustrate how to access alpha characters.

Choosing A Single Alpha Character

The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in
orange characters above the numeric key, <1> (one).
To choose the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press numeric key <1>.
To choose the letter ‘b’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press <1> twice.
To choose the letter ‘c’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press <1> three times.

Note: Once you’ve typed an alpha character or characters, remember to turn

the <ORANGE> key off by pressing it a second time. This will end alpha
selection.

Chapter 3: Keyboards – Operating Instructions
Accessing Alpha Characters

Creating Uppercase Letters

To display a capital letter:
• Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing the
alpha character.

Choosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same Key
If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need
to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as
a double arrow < ⇒> above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the terminal
to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the
same key.
For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are
all accessible from the numeric key, <1>.
To type the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and then press the numeric key, <1>.
• Press the ‘Accept’ key < ⇒> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be
accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.

To type the letter ‘b’:

• Press the <1> key twice to choose the letter ‘b’.
• Press < ⇒> to accept the letter ‘b’.

To type the letter ‘c’:

• Press the <1> key three times to choose the letter ‘c’.

When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the
following:
• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s),
leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that
supports the alpha character you require.
• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press the
<ORANGE> key to end alpha selection.

Accessing Function Keys

Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of Keys

If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are
not required to press the ‘Accept’ < ⇒> key after each alpha selection. The < ⇒>
key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the
same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <1> key.
Pressing the next key in a sequence of keys or pressing the <ORANGE> key to end
alpha selection accepts the alpha characters in the same way as pressing the ‘Accept’
< ⇒> key.
This is how it works. Suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘d’ and ‘g’. These
alpha characters are accessed from the numeric keys <1>, <2> and <3>.
• With the <ORANGE> key activated, press <1> to type the letter ‘a’.
• Press <2> to type ‘d’, and press <3> to type the letter ‘g’.
• To end alpha selection, press the <ORANGE> key a second time.

 Chapter 4: Tekterm
Introduction

4.1 Introduction
Tekterm is a Teklogix DOS application resident on the 7035, 8255 and 8260
terminals. It provides real-time terminal emulations that are compatible with
Teklogix RF/DC systems.
The Tekterm application allows the terminal operator to run up to four TESS
and/or ANSI sessions. This application accepts input from the terminal keyboard
or from a serial device such as a scanner and provides output to a serial device
such as a printer.

4.2 Launching Tekterm

Note: Normally, the Tekterm application is automatically launched when the
terminal is turned on
If Tekterm is not already running on your terminal, you can launch it from the start-
up “Display Menu”.

01 Display Menu
A Parameters
B Emulations
C DOS Prompt

Tekterm is launched through the “Emulations” menu. To launch Tekterm:

• Type the letter ‘b’.

Chapter 4: Tekterm
Working With Application Session Windows

4.3 Working With Application Session Windows

The window area in Tekterm contains the active application. It is possible to have
one or more application sessions – usually TESS or ANSI – running at the same
time. A TESS or ANSI session window occupies the entire terminal screen with
other sessions present in the background. Only one application session window can
be active at a time.
To cycle through the application session windows:
• Press <ALT> <F6>.
Each time this key combination is pressed, the next session window becomes active.

4.4 Radio Statistics Screens

A radio statistics screen is automatically created when TekTerm is started and
contains appropriate statistics for the installed radio. Depending on the type of radio
installed in your terminal, the radios statistics screen may vary.

4.4.1 Viewing A Radio Statistics Screen

As described in the previous section, "Working With Application Session
Windows", if you are working with multiple sessions, pressing <ALT> <F6> cycles
from session to session. The radio statistics screen is always treated as the first
session in your terminal. If you’re running only one application session, pressing
<ALT> <F6> toggles back and forth between the application session and the radio
statistics screen.
If you are running multiple sessions, pressing <ALT> <F6> cycles from session to
session; when you reach the last session you created, pressing <ALT> <F6>
displays the radio statistics screen. If you press <ALT> <F6> at the radio statistics
screen, the first application session becomes active once again.

 Chapter 5: TESS Operations
Configuration

TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) is the normal operating mode of Teklogix

terminals. Teklogix protocol emulation software resident on network controllers or
a Teklogix Software Development Kit (SDK) installed in the host converts host
screens to TESS commands. The 9140 Wireless Gateway and the 9150 Access Point
are also equipped with protocol emulation software.
Note: If the message “RESET: Press Enter” flashes at the bottom of the TESS
screen when you turn on the terminal, press the <ENTER> key once.

5.1 Configuration
Note: Each TESS session must have a unique name assigned to it. Refer to
“Applications” on page 148 for more details.
The process of renaming an existing TESS session and adding a new session is
described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 148.
A unique terminal number must be assigned in the “Terminal #” parameter for each
TESS session. Refer to “Terminal #” in the section titled “TESS Settings” on
page 161 for details.

5.2 Working With Multiple Sessions

When Tekterm is launched, the first configured session will appear in the screen
area. To display the next session in Tekterm when multiple sessions
are running:
• Press <ALT> <F6>.
Each time this key combination is pressed, the next session window becomes active.

5.3 The Field Types

Fixed Field – displays information that cannot be changed from the keyboard.
Entry Field – allows the operator to enter data. This type of field is usually shown
as: “........”
Match Field – the host computer loads data in the format of the expected entry. If
the entered data does not match the expected format, the terminal emits a long beep.
Auto-tab Field – automatically moves the cursor to the next field when the current
field is filled.

IBM 5250 Emulation Keys

Bar code only Field – is filled with data from a bar code reader. Keyboard entries
are not accepted in this type of field.
Serial I/O Field – is filled with data coming from a serial port. Keyboard input is
not accepted in this type of field.

5.4 IBM 5250 Emulation Keys

The following keys allow the Teklogix terminal to better emulate the functions of a
true IBM 5250 terminal.
Note: These keys are active at all times in TESS applications.

5.5 Data Entry

The terminal accepts data until the operator presses a key that sends a transmission
to the host computer. The following actions cause the terminal to transmit:
• Pressing a function key or the <ENTER> key (which is considered to be
<F0>) causes the terminal to transmit.
• Completing data entry into a “transmit on entry” field also causes the
terminal to transmit.

 Chapter 5: TESS Operations
TESS Edit Modes And Cursor Movement

There are several ways to configure the terminal to complete a data field:
• Pressing <ENTER> after entering data.
• Pressing a function key after entering data.
• Pressing an arrow key after entering data.
• Filling an auto-tab field.

5.5.1 TESS Edit Modes And Cursor Movement

The TESS editing modes and cursor movements in each type of mode are described
in the table below.
Press <CTRL> f to enter field mode. In this mode, once data entry
into a field has been completed, the entry cannot be changed without
retyping the entire field.
Field mode
In field mode, the <RIGHT> and <LEFT> arrow keys do not perform
any functions. Pressing the <UP> or <DOWN> arrow key completes
the entry field and then, moves the cursor to the previous or next field.
Press <CTRL> u to enter fcursor mode. In this mode, once data
entry into a field has been completed, the entry cannot be changed
Fcursor mode without retyping the entire field.
In fcursor mode, the <UP>, <DOWN>, <LEFT> and <RIGHT>
arrow keys move the cursor between fields.
Press <CTRL> i to enter insert mode. In this mode, data can be
entered between two characters that have been previously entered.
In insert mode, the <RIGHT> and <LEFT> arrow keys move the
Insert mode
cursor right and left within a field. The <UP> and <DOWN> arrow
keys complete the entry field and move the cursor to the previous or
next field.
Press <CTRL> r to enter replace mode. In this mode, data can be
entered over previously entered characters.
In replace mode, the <RIGHT> and <LEFT> arrow keys move the
Replace mode
cursor to the right and left within a field. The <UP> and <DOWN>
arrow keys complete the entry field and move the cursor to the previ-
ous or next field.

Note: When the “Enter on Arr” parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the <UP>
and <DOWN> arrow keys do not complete an entry field. See page 172
for details about this parameter.

<CLR> Key Behaviour In TESS

5.5.2 <CLR> Key Behaviour In TESS

• In a left justified field, the <CLR> key erases all characters in the
field and places the cursor in the left most position of that field.
• In a right justified field, the <CLR> key erases all characters in the
field and places the cursor in the right most position of that field.
Field mode
• If the <CLR> key is used to clear data in a field that has been
pre-filled by the host application, the field is flagged as modified
and the updated information is sent to the host in the next response
message.
• In both left and right justified fields, the <CLR> key erases charac-
ters beginning from the current cursor position to the end of the
field. The cursor remains in the same position in the field.
• If the <CLR> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most
Replace mode position in the field, the terminal emits a keyboard error beep.
• If the <CLR> key is used to clear data in a field that has been
pre-filled by the host application, the field is flagged as modified
and the updated information is sent to the host in the next response
message.
• In both left and right justified fields, the <CLR> key erases the
characters from one character position to right of the cursor to
the end of the field.
• If the <CLR> key is pressed while cursor is in the right most
Insert mode position in the field, the terminal emits a keyboard error beep.
• If the <CLR> key is used to clear data in a field that has been
pre-filled by the host application, the field is flagged as modified
and the updated information is sent to the host in the next response
message.
• Refer to “Field Mode” at the beginning of this table. The <CLR>
Fcursor mode key operates in the same manner in “Fcursor mode” as it does in
“Field mode”.

<DEL> Key Behaviour In TESS

5.5.3 <DEL> Key Behaviour In TESS

• In a left justified field, the <DEL> key erases the character directly to
the left of the cursor and then moves the cursor one position to the
left. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays
the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is
opened.
• In a right justified field, the <DEL> key erases the character on which
the cursor is positioned and shifts the remaining characters to the right
by one position. When the last character in the field is deleted, the
field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and
Field mode the field is opened.
• If the <DEL> key is pressed when the field is empty, the terminal
emits a keyboard error beep.
• The <DEL> key does not delete data pre-filled by the host applica-
tion.
• If the <DEL> key is pressed in a field that has not been modified, the
terminal emits a keyboard error beep.
• If data is entered into a field and is then deleted before the field is
completed, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the
field or when the screen is transmitted.
• In a left justified field, the <DEL> key erases the character on which
the cursor is positioned unless it is one position to the right of the last
character in the string; in this case, the <DEL> key erases the charac-
ter to the left of the cursor.
• In a right justified field, the <DEL> key erases the character on which
the cursor is positioned. The remaining characters are then shifted to
the left of the cursor, and the cursor is shifted to the right by one posi-
tion.
• If the <DEL> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most
Replace mode character position of the field, the cursor does not shift to the left
when that character is erased; it remains in the right-most position in
the field.
• When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty –
that is, any pre-filled data is not displayed. Pressing the <DEL> key in
the empty field results in a keyboard error beep.
• The <DEL> key can delete data pre-filled by the host application.
• If data is entered in a field and is then deleted before the field is com-
pleted, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field
or when the screen is transmitted.

Lock Messages

• In a left justified field, the <DEL> function erases the character on

which the cursor is positioned, unless it is at the right end of the char-
acter string; in this case, it erases the character to the left of the cursor.
When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty,
and any further <DEL> functions in the empty field result in a key-
board error beep.
• In a right justified field, the <DEL> function erases the character that
is to the right of the cursor and then shifts the remaining data one
position to the right.
• If the <DEL> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most
Insert mode
character position of that field, the cursor does not shift to the left
when that character is erased; it remains in the right-most position
in the field.
• When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty –
i.e. any pre-filled data is not displayed. Pressing the <DEL> key in the
empty field sounds a keyboard error beep.
• The <DEL> key can delete data pre-filled by the host application.
• If data is entered into a field and then deleted before the field is com-
pleted, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field
or when the screen is transmitted.
• Refer to “Field Mode” at the beginning of this table. The <DEL> key
Fcursor mode operates in exactly the same manner in “Fcursor mode” as it does in
“Field mode”.

5.6 Lock Messages

When information is transmitted to the host computer, the keyboard locks to
prevent further data entry until the terminal receives a reply. A locked state is
indicated by either “LOCK-B” (base) or “LOCK-H” (host) in the lower left
corner of the display.
When the reply is received by the terminal, the lock message disappears and the
keyboard can be used again.

Control Commands

5.7 Control Commands

A group of <CTRL> key commands can be used within TESS to dictate how the
terminal will operate under a variety of conditions.
• <CTRL> p – Reprints the last print page sent from the host. This key
combination will not print anything if a print page from the host was not
previously received at the terminal.
• <CTRL> s – Displays the terminal status continuously. Below is a sample
status line as it might appear at the bottom of your terminals screen:
Lock-B/Lock-H fld enh “application name”

• <CTRL> w – Displays the terminal status when the terminal is in “Lock B”

or “Lock H” mode. The status line would be similar to the sample above.
• <CTRL> t – Displays the terminal status with the terminal number instead
of the name.
Lock-B/Lock-H rep “terminal nn”

• <CTRL> h – Displays a menu of available hosts.

 Chapter 6: ANSI Operations
Configuration

The Teklogix terminal in ANSI mode operates like most other ANSI terminals.
This means software that supports ANSI terminals requires little or no changes.

6.1 Configuration
To configure the terminal for ANSI mode, the “Name” and “Type” of session – in
this case, ANSI – must be specified in the Applications menu. This menu is
described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 148.
Next, a unique terminal number must be assigned using the “Terminal #” parameter.
This number should be unique across the entire system – that is, each terminal and
each application session in each terminal across your system must have a unique
number assigned. This parameter is described in the section titled “ANSI Settings”
on page 149.
When Tekterm is launched, the first configured session will appear in the
application. To display the next session in Tekterm when multiple sessions
are running:
• Press <ALT> <F6>.
Each time this key combination is pressed, the next session window becomes active.

6.2 Sending Data To The Host

Teklogix terminals running ANSI transmit characters to the host as soon as they
are typed.
The terminal also responds immediately to the device attribute requests “CSIc”,
“CSI0c” and “ESCZ”.

Note: For a more detailed description of the parameter settings for ANSI,
refer to “ANSI Settings” on page 149.

Using The Parameter Manager

Important: If you are uncertain how to operate your terminal keyboard, refer
to Chapter 3: Keyboards – Operating Instructions beginning on
page 47.

7.1 Using The Parameter Manager

Warning: Parameters should not be altered without a clear understanding of
how they operate. Parameters that are incorrectly set can increase
response time or cause communication difficulties. Generally,
parameters are configured for each site during installation.

The Parameter Manager provides access to the parameter menus. The values
assigned to the parameters can be viewed and adjusted to optimize communication
at the site in which a terminal is operating.
Note: Parameters can also be remotely modified using SNMP.

7.2 Exiting Tekterm And Accessing The Display Menu

Normally, the Tekterm application is automatically launched when the terminal is
turned on.

Exiting Tekterm
To launch the Parameters menu, you first need to exit the Tekterm application:
• Press <ALT>, and type the letter x.

Working With Menus

7.3 Working With Menus

All terminal parameters are listed in menus. The <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys
are used to move the cursor up and down the current menu. The currently selected
parameter name is displayed in reverse video. To help you work with the parameters
and menus, a set of pre-programmed function keys – <F1> through <F4> – can be
used to move back and forth between menus and save changes made to any
parameters.
There are four types of parameters: numeric, Y/N, alpha and string entry.
In addition, some menus have sub-menus attached to them. This section of the
manual describes how to work with all types of parameters and sub-menus.

7.3.1 Softkey Function Keys

To speed the process of moving through menus and changing parameters, function
keys <F1> to <F4> have been programmed to perform specific actions. Table 7.1
describes these function keys in the Parameter Manager.

Function Key Softkey Function

<F1> NEXT – Displays the next sub-menu
<F2> PREV – Displays the previous menu.
DEFLT – Restores ALL parameters to default settings
<F3>
– even after pressing <F4> to save the changes.
<F4> SAVE – Saves the current set of parameter values.

Displaying Sub-Menus

7.3.2 Displaying Sub-Menus

The “»” character appearing to the right of the menu item indicates that it has
a sub-menu.

Displaying Sub-Menus
To display a sub-menu:
• Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to position the cursor on the
menu item with the sub-menu you want to display.
• Press <F1> – the “NEXT” menu function key.

Returning To The Previous Menu

• Press <F2> – the “PREV” function key, or
• Press <ESC>.

7.3.3 Numeric Parameters

Numeric parameters are displayed in reverse video. To increment or decrement
a number:
• Press the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow keys, or
• Type the desired number in the field. Negative values are entered by typing
a “-” (minus) sign and then the number.
• Press <ENTER>.
Each numeric parameter has a preset range of numbers assigned to it – for example,
a preset range of 1 through 10. If you attempt to enter a number which either
exceeds 10 or falls below 1, the incorrect value will be rejected – the original value
for this parameter, if any, will be displayed.

Y/N Parameters

7.3.4 Y/N Parameters

Y/N parameters can only be enabled (Y) or disabled (N). To enable or disable
a Y/N parameter:
• Press the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key once, or
• Type y to enable or n to disable the parameter.
Some Y/N parameters have sub-menus. For these parameters, a double right
arrow (») appears next to the “Y” or “N”.

7.3.5 Alpha Parameters

Alpha characters appear in reverse video in this type of parameter. The allowable
values for this type of parameter consist of a predetermined set of acceptable letters
or words. To cycle through the set:
• Press the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow keys.

7.3.6 String Entry Parameters

Important: For detailed information about using string entry fields to
program macro keys, refer to “Global Macros” on page 182.

A sequence or string of characters can be entered in this type of parameter. When a

string entry parameter contains data, it is displayed in reverse video. (Empty fields
are not displayed in reverse video.) The methods that can be used to enter
information in string entry parameters are described in this section.
In string entry parameters, the <UP> arrow, <DOWN> arrow, <ENTER> and
<DEL> keys have the following functions:
• The <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys move the cursor between entry fields
in the direction of the arrow.
• <ENTER> completes the entry field.
• <DEL> deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
• <CLR> (key combination <BLUE> <DEL>) clears the entire field.

Choosing An ASCII Character With The Arrow Keys

7.3.6.1 Choosing An ASCII Character With The Arrow Keys

Important: Make sure the <CTRL> and <SHIFT> keys are turned off!

By pressing either the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key, you can cycle through
a set of printable characters not directly accessible from the keyboard. The ASCII
sets differ slightly depending on the type of terminal you’re using.
7035: / < > % ^ & ` ~ | [ ] { } " ' ? = + ;
8255/8260: ^ & ‘ ~ | [ ] { } ’ "
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow to display the next character in this sequence,
and the <LEFT> arrow to display the previous one.

7.3.6.2 Adding Additional ASCII Characters

When you’ve chosen an ASCII character and want to add another one in the same
field, the cursor must be moved to the right of the existing character. Normally,
pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key moves the cursor to the right, but in a string entry
field, pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key cycles through the available ASCII
characters instead. If you’ve already chosen an ASCII character and want to
add another one in the field, you need to take a few extra steps to move the cursor
to the right.
To add another ASCII character in the string entry field, next to the one you’ve
already chosen:
• Type a numeric character – for example, type the number 7.
• Next, press the <DEL> key
The cursor is now positioned to the right of the previously selected ASCII character.
• Press the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to scroll through the ASCII
characters, and select another character.

7.3.6.3 Entering Information In A String Entry Field

In addition to using the fixed set of ASCII values assigned to this type of parameter,
you can also type text in a string entry field.
• Type the required text in the string entry field – including letters, numbers
and symbols.
• Press <ENTER> to save the text.

7.5.1 Volume And Contrast

Both the terminal beeper volume and the screen contrast can be adjusted using the
<BLUE> key in combination with function keys <F1> to <F4>. However, these
changes are not saved to memory – that is, when the terminal is reset, any volume
and contrast adjustments are lost. For information on manual beeper volume
adjustments, refer to “Beeper Volume – <BLUE> <F3> And <F4>” on page 34.
For details on manual contrast adjustments, refer to “Contrast Adjustment –
<BLUE> <F1> And <F2>” on page 36.
Adjustments made to the terminal beeper and the display using the “Volume” and
“Contrast” parameters are saved to memory so that if the terminal is turned off or
reset, the adjustments are saved.

Volume
The “Volume” parameter is used to adjust the beeper volume of the terminal beeper.
The higher the value entered, the louder the beeper volume of the terminal. The
allowable range is 0 to 15. When a volume adjustment is made using this parameter,
it is saved to memory.

7.5.2 Key Click

Key click Range
Tone 2675 200-5000
Duration 75 25-150

The parameters in the Key Click sub-menu are used to adjust the sound emitted
from the terminal when a key is pressed. When “Key Click” is set to Y, an audible
sound is emitted from the terminal with each key pressed. Setting this parameter to
“N” disables the key click sound.

Tone
The value entered in the “Tone” parameter determines the frequency of the key
clicks and is measured in Hz. The allowable range is 200 to 5000. The higher the
value, the higher the pitch.

Duration
The value entered in the “Duration” parameter measures the length of time a sound
is emitted when a key is pressed and is measured in milliseconds. The allowable
range is 25 to 150.

7.5.3 One-Shot Mode

Rate
The value assigned for the “Rate” parameter determines how quickly the key you
press repeats and is measured in characters per second (cps). The allowable values
range from 1 cps to 10 cps.

Test
This parameter is provided so that you can test the character repeat rate of your
terminal. Once you’ve enabled (set to “Y”) the “Typematic rpt” parameter and
assigned a “Delay” and “Rate” value, position your cursor in this field. Press and
hold down an alphanumeric key to test the rate of character repeats.

7.5.5 Caps Lock On

This parameter operates like the <CAPS LOCK> key on your PC keyboard. When
“Caps Lock On” is set to “Y”, all alpha characters are displayed in uppercase. When
this parameter is set to “N”, alpha characters are displayed in lowercase.

7.5.6 Panning
Important: The “Auto Pan” feature is modified using the parameters in this
menu. Keep in mind, however, that “Auto Pan” is used by the
DOS command line or by applications that do not provide auto
panning (e.g., the Parameters menus).
Tekterm is equipped with its own panning capabilities and does
not execute panning as described in this section.

Panning Range

Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Panning

Auto Pan, Left Margin, Right Margin And Bottom Margin

Note: The “X increment” and “Y increment” parameters are used for manual
panning only. Auto panning relies on the values set in the “Left margin”,
“Right margin” and “Bottom margin” parameters.
“Auto Pan” is used to enable and disable auto panning. When it is enabled
(set to “Y”), the values set in the “Left Margin”, “Right Margin” and “Bottom
Margin” are used to determine the number of characters that will always be
visible to the left and right of the cursor and the number of lines that will always
be visible below the cursor. If the cursor moves beyond the value specified, the
entire contents of the screen are panned or shifted to comply with the values set in
the margin parameters.
Example: The value set in the “Left Margin” and “Right Margin” is 2. The
value set in the “Bottom Margin” is 3. This specifies that 2 characters must
always be displayed to the left and right of the cursor, and 3 lines must
always be displayed below the cursor (Bottom Margin).
The contents of the screen will not auto pan or shift until the cursor is
moved past the minimum specified in a margin parameter. If the cursor is
moved past the “Left Margin” setting, the screen pans to the right. If the
cursor moves past the “Right Margin” setting, the screen pans to the left.
If the cursor is moved beyond the “Bottom Margin” setting, the screen
contents pan up.

X Increment And Y Increment

Manual panning – shifting the contents of the screen using the <BLUE> key in
combination with the <LEFT>, <RIGHT>, <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys –
relies on the values set in “X Increment” and “Y Increment” to determine the
number of columns (spaces) and rows (lines) to pan or shift.
“X Increment” determines the number of spaces the screen pans to the left or right
when the <BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow key.
“Y Increment” determines the number of lines the screen pans up or down when the
<BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <UP> or <DOWN> arrow key.

Font Size

7.5.8 Font Size

Note: This “Font Size” feature is used by the DOS command line or by
applications that do not provide font adjustment parameters.
Tekterm is equipped with its own font sizing capabilities. ANSI Font Sizes
are described under “Font Size” on page 154. TESS Font Sizes are
described under “Font Size” on page 164.

Important: Because the 8260 vehicle-mount terminal is equipped with a full

size – 25 x 80 – display, full screens can easily be displayed
without reducing the font size. For this reason, the 8260 does not
provide a Font menu.
This parameter is used to change the font size displayed on 7035 hand-helds and
8255 vehicle-mounts. Font sizes are represented in lines x characters (rows x
columns). Font availability varies depending on the type of terminal.
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow key to scroll through the options.

7.5.9 Cursor Type

Note: This “Cursor Type” parameter is used by the DOS command line or by
applications that do not provide cursor adjustment parameters.
Tekterm is equipped with its own cursor commands.
This parameter allows you to choose how you want the terminal cursor displayed.
You can choose either an Underline or Block cursor.
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow key to scroll through and choose an option.

7.5.10 Palette Remap

A DOS-based application generally uses a VGA colour palette. On Teklogix
terminals, these colours are converted to grey scale with varying degrees of success.
While grey scale displays well on a 7035 hand-held terminal, it does not display as
well on an 8255 LCD or an 8260 vehicle-mount terminal. The “Palette Remap”
parameter allows you to substitute default application colours with colours that will
display well on your Teklogix terminal.
Note: All built-in Teklogix software uses only intense white (VGA index 15) and
black (VGA index 0), both of which display well on Teklogix terminals.

The values on the left-hand side of the “Palette Remap” screen represent the original
VGA palette; these values cannot be changed. The values on the right-hand side of
this screen can be altered to remap colours as they reach your Teklogix terminal
display. For example, suppose that you want your terminal to always replace the
colour red with the colour black. You need to change the red colour value of 4 to
the black colour value of 0.

To remap a colour:
• Highlight the colour you want to remap, and press the <RIGHT> or
<LEFT> arrow key until the colour value you want is displayed.
• Press <F4> to save your changes, and reset the terminal. (See page 119 for
terminal reset information.)

7.5.11 Watchdog Timer

Setting this parameter to Enabled signals the terminal to reboot automatically
when control of the terminal is not periodically returned to a system monitor
program (running in the background). This allows for recovery from programs that
“crash” or “hang” the terminal.
If “Watchdog Timer” is set to Disabled, the terminal will not reboot
automatically under the circumstances described above.

CPU Speed
Important: Changing the CPU speed can invalidate FCC approvals. Cisco
and Lucent radios are approved for 33Mhz. The Narrow Band
radio is only approved for 8 MHz.
This parameter allows you to change the CPU speed your terminal uses. Allowable
values are: 8MHz, 16MHz and 33MHz.
Power Down
When the amount of time specified in the “Power Down” parameter expires without
any activity, the terminal goes into suspend mode, a power-saving mode. Pressing
<ENTER/ON> reinstates full power mode.
The possible values for this parameter are: Disabled, 1 min, 2 mins,
4 mins, 8 mins, 16 mins, 32 mins and 60 mins.

Power Off
Important: The value assigned for this parameter is not recognized until the
value in the “Power Down” parameter has expired.
When the time specified for the “Power Off” parameter has expired, the terminal
turns off. A full reboot is required to return the terminal to full operating mode. The
allowable values for this parameter are: Disabled, 1 min, 8 mins, 16
mins, 32 mins, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
This timeout occurs whether the terminal is turned on or off. That is, even if the
terminal is switched off, it will return to its last operating state when switched on. If
it is left ‘off’ for the time period specified by this parameter, a full reboot will occur
when switched back on.

7.5.13 Serial Number

This parameter identifies the terminal serial number. Normally, this value is set at
the factory. However, the serial number can also be defined in the field using a serial
download cable and a terminal connection to PMENU.
Note: “Serial Number” is saved in EEPROM; it will not be erased if the
parameter values are defaulted.

Teklogix offers two types of vehicle-mount keyboard types – an ‘F1 To F6’ and an
‘F1 to F10’ keyboard type. The keys on these two keyboard are mapped differently,
and the ‘Keyboard Type’ parameter allows you to specify the keyboard type your
terminal is using – ‘F1 To F6’ or ‘F1 to F10’.
Note: The value assigned to this parameter is saved until you change it; that is,
it will not change when the <F3> – Default – key is pressed.

Type Range
Internal Standard Standard, Long Range, High Vis, 2-D
External Non-Decoded Non-Decoded, Wand

The Type sub-menu is used to indicate the type of internal and/or external scanner
being used. The 7035 hand-held terminal can support both an internal and an
external scanner at the same time.

Internal – 7035 Only

Note: If you are using an Advanced Long Range (ALR) scanner, choose the
Long Range setting. If you are using an High Performance (HP)
scanner, choose either the Standard or High Visibility setting.
Keep in mind also that if you are using a 2-D scanner, ‘Console 2’ in the
Ports menu is set to ‘Disable’ by default – it cannot be configured.
The “Internal” parameter must match the type of internal scanner installed in the
7035 – Long Range, High Visibility, Standard or 2-D. If an internal
scanner has not been installed, set this parameter to None.

 Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Options

Note: The 2-D internal scanner is configured by the 7035 software on startup.
Beyond selecting the 2-D scanner type, no configuration is required.
However, the scan engine can be misconfigured if you scan a
Symbol SE 2223 configuration bar code. To reset the engine to the
appropriate default 2-D settings, scan the ‘Set All Defaults’ bar code
below.

Important: When you select 2-D as the internal scanner, the Console 2 port
is disabled.

External
The “External” (external) parameter must match the type of external scanner
attached to the terminal – Wand or Non-Decoded. If an external scanner is not
being used, set this parameter to None.

Important: For detailed instructions on inserting characters or special keys

(e.g., <ENTER>, <DEL>, etc.) in these fields, refer to "Global
Macros" on page 182 to page 185.
HOWEVER, keep in mind that these string entry fields do NOT
accept Function keys and Arrow keys.
In #n
This string entry parameter is compared with the decoded bar code reading.
If there is a match, the “Out” string is translated into the decoded bar code.
The first character of the “In” string specifies where the rest of the string can
occur within the decoded bar code reading.
The possible values for this character include:
b Compare with the beginning of decoded bar code.
e Compare with the end of decoded bar code.
x Compare with the entire decoded bar code.
a Compare anywhere within the decoded bar code (default).
If the first character is none of ‘b’, ‘e’, ‘x’ or ‘a’, the character is assumed to be an
‘a’ and is stripped from the rest of the “In” entry.
Note: Translation of the decoded bar code occurs after all other modifications
to the bar code have been done (e.g., prefix char, suffix char, strip, etc.).

Out #n
If there is a match between the decoded bar code and the corresponding “In” string,
the decoded bar code will be translated into the “Out” string. This string entry
parameter can be null, or it may contain any combination of standard and special
characters (e.g., function keys, <ENTER>, etc.).

 Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Other Options

7.6.2.2 Other Options

Verify
The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional
decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. The
allowable range is 0 to 15. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes to
decode a bar code.

Security
This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes
(Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). The allowable value is 0 to 99. Lower values have
a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the
bar code.

Short Code
When enabled (set to “Y”), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar
codes (2 characters). When “Short Code” is disabled (set to “N”), these short bar
codes are rejected.
Setting this parameter to “Y” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the
terminal must decode more potential bar codes. For this reason, it is not
recommended that “Short Code” be enabled for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or
more characters.

Click Time
Note: This parameter only effects terminals using long-range scanners.
This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click.
If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this
time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of
zero disables this feature.
A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is
assigned in the “Click Data” parameter (see page 136). When a value is not assigned
for the “Click Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot
delay set in the “Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value
is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger
inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual 135

Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Other Options

Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which
character is sent to TESS or ANSI following a double-click. Enter the ASCII
value of the character desired from 0 to 255. You can also press the <LEFT> and
<RIGHT> arrow keys to scroll through a set of ASCII characters not available from
the keyboard.

Scan Result – 7035 Only

When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the type of bar code and the result of
the scan appear on the terminal screen. Note that this information is only displayed
after a successful decode and only as long as the scanner trigger is pressed. When
the trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen.
Scan Indic – 7035 Only
When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the laser warning logo appears on the
display whenever the scanner is activated. For the Teklogix 7035-I integrated
terminal, this message is mandatory and appears even if this parameter is disabled
(set to “N”).
Dot Time – 7035 Only
Important: “Dot Time” only appears in the Scanner Options menu when
either “Long Range” or “High Vis” is selected as the internal
scanner option. Internal scanner options are described on
page 132 under the heading “Internal”.

The value selected for “Dot Time” determines how long the targeting dot remains on
before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. The allowable values are:
0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 seconds.

Result Time
The value assigned to the “Result Time” parameter determines how long the scan
results of a successful scan are displayed on the terminal screen. Time is measured
in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has
expired, perform an unsuccessful scan.

Include Chk
If this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the check digit is included with the decoded
bar code data.

AIAG Strip
If this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the AIAG data identifier is removed from
each decoded Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to
the Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of
numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the
general category or specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.
Note: This parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG
feature. This is because the terminal performs the strip function before it
processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the
data is not identified as AIAG.

Err Accept
If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (set to “Y”), all
label data without an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept”
parameter is disabled (set to “N”) and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled

Field Size
The field size is the length of the field after the first character is stripped and
the prefix and suffix characters are added. If the field size is non-zero, only
bar codes of that length are passed through.
Prefix Char
This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code.
Enter the ASCII decimal equivalent of this character. Enter a value of “0” (zero) if
no prefix is to be added.
Suffix Char
This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code.
Enter the ASCII decimal equivalent of this character. Enter a value of “0” (zero) if
no suffix is to be added.
Strip Leading
This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the
beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added.
Notes: 1. The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character.
For example, if <DEL> is pressed, the usual action for that key is
performed. With ANSI emulation, the terminal transmits the escape
sequence associated with the function immediately after the bar
code data.
2. For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the
“Strip Leading”.
Strip Trailing
The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be
removed from the end of the bar code before the suffix character is added.

This parameter enables the serial port input fields. If enabled (set to “Y”), the TESS
application has exclusive use of the serial port. Data entered in these fields must
begin with a SI Prefix and end with a SI Suffix character.

SI Mode
TESS supports communication to and from the terminal serial port using two
methods: Command and Field. When SI Mode is set to field, serial input is
displayed in serial-input fields and serial output is displayed in serial-output fields
on the current TESS page. The serial input fields are defined in the System Network

Controller configuration (see ‘9300 Network Controller User Manual” – PN 80409

and “Teklogix Screen Subsystem (TESS) Programmer’s Manual” – PN 79186 to
review TESS field extended attributes and the bits ‘b’ command). The data is sent to
the host as field data. Serial output with controller emulations is provided through
the passthru-printing feature.
If a TSDK (Teklogix Software Development Kit) is used to develop your
application, the serial-input and serial-output fields are configured as the screen sets
are created using the Wintsf screen editor. A serial-in field is an ‘Entry’ field with
the serial attribute box checked and a serial-out field is a ‘Fixed’ field with the serial
attribute box checked (refer to the “7035/8255/8260 Software Development Kit
User Manual” – PN 80455).
Important: If you are using serial-input fields, make sure the ‘SI Mode’
parameter is set to field.
When ‘SI Mode’ is set to command, serial input is not displayed on the terminal
screen. It is transmitted directly with a TESS response command. To use this mode,
the TSDK TESS message macro TESS_RESP_SERIAL_INPUT will identify the
received message as input data from the terminal serial port.
Serial Notes:
1. Field mode is supported by both emulations and Software Development
Kits. Command mode is only supported by Software Development Kits.
2. You can configure the terminal to automatically transmit data received
through the serial port without user intervention. When ‘SI Mode’ is set to
Field, automatic transmission of serial data can be done by setting the
‘SI Fnkey’ parameter to the desired function key.
When ‘SI Mode’ is set to Command, automatic transmission is based on
the configuration of the ‘Port’ parameters as well as the ‘SI Prefix’ and
‘SI Suffix’ values. If the suffix and prefix values are not used (set to zero),
serial data is transmitted after the ‘Input Tmo’ value (in the ‘Ports’,
‘Serial 1’ menu) has expired. If the serial data is received in bursts and
the ‘Input Tmo’ value expires between bursts, the serial data may be
transmitted in several packets. If prefix and suffix values are used for SI
data, the ‘Input Tmo value will not affect the transmission of the data from
the terminal
Serial data is passed to the TESS session after the ‘Serial 1’ port

This parameter allows you to choose the function key you want appended to the
serial input. For example, entering a value of “1” appends <F1> to serial input. A
value of “0” (zero) appends <F0> – the <ENTER> key. To disable this feature so
that a suffix is not added, set the “SI Fnkey” parameter to “N”.

Out
This parameter enables serial port output fields.

SO Prefix
This parameter determines the start-of-message character on serial output. A value
of “0” (zero) indicates no prefix. Enter an ASCII numeric equivalent from 0 to 255
to represent the start character.

SO Suffix
This parameter determines the end-of-message character on serial output. A value of
“0” (zero) indicates no suffix. Enter an ASCII numeric equivalent from 0 to 255 to
represent the end character.

Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Fields

Enter To F0
The <ENTER> key normally enters data into a field and moves the cursor to the
next field. However, some applications require that the <ENTER> key start a
transmission from the terminal. When enabled (set to “Y”), this parameter causes
the <ENTER> key to be interpreted as <F0> which starts a transmission.

Enter On Arr
When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the arrow keys can be used to complete
data entry into a field.

Entry Mode
“Entry Mode” parameters allow you to select a data entry mode. The modes are:
insert, replace, field and fcursor. “TESS Edit Modes And Cursor Movement” on
page 97 describes these modes in detail.

Open Fky Only

When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the screen is open for function keys
only, and the cursor is not positioned. When this parameter is disabled, the screen is
open for data entry, and the cursor is placed in the first field (if it exists).

All Fld Video
Usually, the video attributes apply only to the text that is in an entry field. When this
parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the entire field (including blanks) takes on the
video attributes. Some systems use this option to identify empty entry fields with
reverse video.
Ign Bcode_fld
When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), fields that were defined as “bar code
only” accept data from the keyboard as well as the bar code reader. In effect, they
behave as data entry fields.
Enh Edit Mode
This mode provides extended (enhanced) functions to users of Teklogix’ IBM 5250
terminal emulation. When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the arrow keys
move the cursor anywhere on the screen, unrestricted by fixed or entry fields.
Certain 5250 emulation keys (e.g. Field Exit) that were originally available only
when “Enh Edit Mode” was set to “Y” are now active at all times in TESS
applications. Refer to “IBM 5250 Emulation Keys” on page 96 for details about
these keys.
Valid Numerics
Numbers from 0 to 9 are always considered valid characters for TESS numeric

Flow Control
This parameter selects the type of flow control used in your terminal. The 7035 can
perform XON/XOFF and/or CTS/RTS handshaking. Keep in mind that CTS/RTS
hardware flow control generally results in faster data throughput.
Note: Flow Control under ‘Serial 1’ contains the following options: None,
CTS/RTS, XON/XOFF and Both. Options available under ‘Console 2’
include: None and XON/XOFF.
The function of each mode is as follows:
Enable: Used to input and output data.
Supports XON/XOFF and/or CTS/RTS or no handshaking.
Print: Used to output data only. All input characters except XON and
XOFF are ignored.
Supports XON/XOFF and/or CTS/RTS or no handshaking.
Output: Used to output data only. All input characters are ignored.
Supports CTS/RTS or no handshaking.
Note: To enable the input and/or output, ‘serial in’ and/or ‘serial out’ must be
enabled in the TESS menu.

Buffer
The value assigned to this parameter determines the size of the serial buffer used by
the application for both input and output. The buffer controls how much data the
application can send to or receive from a serial device.

Retries
Note: “Retries” is not available if “Nomad” or “Scan-See” is chosen as the
peripheral device.
This parameter determines the number of times the terminal attempts to transmit a
byte from the serial port. If the count specified in this parameter is exceeded, the
transmission fails. Keep in mind that the value assigned to this parameter must be
exceeded before data in the buffer is thrown away. To disable this parameter and
force the terminal to use “Retry Tmo”, this parameter should be set to ‘1’.

• Position the cursor in the macro field corresponding to the macro key to
which you want to assign macros – #1 corresponds to macro key <M1>,
#2 corresponds to macro key <M2>, and so on.
Once the cursor is in a macro field, you have a number of options when creating a
macro. You can type text and numbers, choose from a set of ASCII characters and
program the function of special keys into a macro.

Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Choosing An ASCII Character

In macros, the <UP> arrow, <DOWN> arrow, <ENTER> and <DEL> keys have the
following functions:
• Pressing the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys move the cursor between
entry fields.
• Pressing the <ENTER> key once moves the cursor to the first position in
the entry field; pressing <ENTER> a second time completes the entry field,
exits the sub-menu and returns the cursor to the “parent” or previous menu.
• The <DEL> key deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
• The <CLR> key – <BLUE> <DEL> – clears the entire field. If the last
character in a field is deleted, the previous contents, if any, reappear.

7.11.3 Choosing An ASCII Character

Important: Make sure the <CTRL> and <SHIFT> keys are turned off!
By pressing either the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key, you can cycle through a set
of printable characters not available on the keyboard. The sample below is a set of
ASCII characters not accessible from the keyboard.
7035: / < > % ^ & ` ~ | [ ] { } " ' ? = + ;
8255/8260: ^ & ‘ ~ | [ ] { } ’ "
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow to display the next character in this sequence,
and the <LEFT> arrow to display the previous one.

7.11.4 Adding Additional ASCII Characters

When you’ve chosen an ASCII character and want to add another one in the same
field, the cursor must be moved to the right of the existing character. Normally,
pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key moves the cursor to the right, but in a string entry
field, pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key cycles through the available ASCII
characters instead. If you’ve already chosen an ASCII character and want to
add another one in the field, you need to take a few extra steps to move the cursor
to the right.
To add another ASCII character in the string entry field, next to the one you’ve
already chosen:
• Type a numeric character – for example, type the number 7.
• Next, press the <DEL> key.
The cursor is now positioned to the right of the previously selected ASCII character.
• Press the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to scroll through the ASCII
characters, and select another character.

7.11.5 Programming Special Keys Into Macros

Macros can contain the function of a subset of terminal keys. The keys that can be
programmed into macros include: <ENTER>, <DEL> and <CLR> (<BLUE>-
<DEL>), function keys and arrow keys. To program the function of a key:
• With the cursor in the “Global Macros” table, use the arrow keys to position
the cursor in the macro field corresponding to the macro key you want to
program – the field labelled #1 represents <M1>, and so on.
• Press <CTRL> and then, type the letter l (el) (l represents “literal”).
• Press the key you wish to add to the macro.
For example: To execute the function of the <ENTER> key in a macro,
type <CTRL> l <ENTER>.

This parameter is used to assign a unique terminal IP address so that the terminal
can be identified on the network. The format is ###.###.###.###
Net Mask
A subnet mask is assigned at this parameter. The 7035 uses the subnet mask, it’s
own IP address and the destination IP address to determine if a packet should be sent
on the local network or a remote subnet. If the destination is found to reside on the
local network, the packet is sent directly to its destination. If the destination resides
on a remote subnet, the packet is routed to the appropriate gateway. The accepted
values for “Net Mask” range from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
Note: The terminal “Net Mask” must match the network controller net mask.

Network

Default Gateway
The “Default Gateway” IP address assigned at this parameter creates an identifiable
communication link between the terminal and a remote sub-network – that is, a
network other than the one in which the terminal is currently operating. The
acceptable values for this parameter range from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
Note: Setting the “Default Gateway” to 0.0.0.0 disables this feature.
A communication link will not exist between sub-networks.

Use DHCP

Network Info DCHP Local

When “Use DHCP” is set to ‘Y’, the IP address and subnet mask are always
taken from the DHCP server.
The sub-menu attached to this parameter offers two options – DHCP or Local. If
‘Network Info’ is set to DHCP, the DNS server (IP), the DNS suffix (Domain) and
the default gateway will also come from the DHCP server. If ‘Network Info’ is set to
Local, these values will be taken from the locally configured (terminal) values.
Note: If “Use DHCP” is set to “Y”, the “IP Address” parameter (see page 185)
should be left blank.

Use DNS

DNS IP see text
DNS Domain see text

Setting “Use DNS” (Domain Name System) to ‘Y’ allows access to your DNS
server. The options in the sub-menu – DNS IP and DNS Domain – allow you to
specify the IP address and domain name of your DNS server. The DNS domain is
appended to any host name that does not include a suffix. For example, if your
applications menu includes the server name Jack, and the DNS Domain is
teklogix.com, the DNS server is queried for the IP address of Jack.teklogix.com.

Home Agent IP
The valued entered for this parameter is the IP address of the Home Agent.

Home Agent Disc

Setting this parameter to “Y” allows the terminal to send a registration packet to the
Foreign Agent which, in turn, forwards the packet to the home network and the
Home Agent(s). The terminal uses the Home Agent(s) response (which includes the
Home Agent(s) IP address) to choose the Home Agent with which it will register.

Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Network

Renew Threshld
The value assigned to this parameter indicates the number of seconds prior to
“Regstr Lifetime” expiration that the terminal attempts a registration renewal. If, for
example, this parameter is set to 20, the terminal will attempt to renew registration
20 seconds before “Regstr Lifetime” expires. When setting this parameter, keep in
mind that if the value is too low, the session will expire, and the terminal will be
unable to communicate with the host. On the other hand, if the value is too high, the
terminal will attempt to register continually.

Rgstr Lifetime
The value assigned to this parameter indicates the maximum registration lifetime, in
seconds, that a terminal will be registered with the Home Agent. The default value
for “Rgstr Lifetime” is 1800. The value 65535 is equivalent to “infinite”. If the
terminal requests a value larger than the value configured for the Home Agent, the
registration will be rejected, and the terminal will retry using a lower value.

Rgstr Tmo Delay

The registration timeout delay is measured in milliseconds. Values lower than the
protocol's absolute minimum for registrations retransmissions (one second) will be
rejected.

Reg Retry Count

The value entered for this parameter indicates the maximum number of registration
retries on timeouts. Depending on your system, assigning a value from 3 (the default
value) to 5 is recommended.

Reg RX Delay Mn
The value assigned for ‘Reg RX Delay Mn’ determines the minimum delay between
registration retransmissions. It is measured in milliseconds.
Note: While a minimum of at least 1000 milliseconds is required for this param-
eter, the value assigned must not be higher than that assigned to the
‘Rgstr Tmo Delay’ parameter.

Reg On Contact
When this parameter is set to “Y”, the terminal will not attempt to register until it
receives an ‘advertisement’ from the Home or Foreign Agent.

Grat Arp Max Ct

The value assigned to this parameter determines the maximum number of sent
gratuitous ARPs. It is recommended that this value remain at the default of 3 or
slightly lower depending on your system.
Grat Arp RX Dly
“Grat Arp RX Dly” determines the delay, in milliseconds, between gratuitous ARP
retransmissions.
Simultan. Binds
When this parameter is set to ‘Y’, it enables multiple (simultaneous) bindings. This
means that the terminal can roam back to a Foreign Agent without registering again
(assuming the old registration has not expired).
Max Num Binds
The value assigned to ‘Max Num Binds’ represents the maximum number of
bindings that the terminal will recognize at one time. When determining the value
for this parameter, make certain that the maximum number of base stations that can
be simultaneously accessed in the mobile node's (terminal’s) range are represented.
Foreign Agents
The number assigned to this parameter represents the maximum number of Foreign
Agents that can be stored locally at one time. While normally, the value assigned
here should be fairly low (the default value is 10), it is critical that you set the value
high enough so that the terminal always has access to a Foreign Agent and never
loses contact with the host.
Home Agent SPI
This parameter represents the Home Agent Security Parameter Index (SPI) assigned
to the terminal’s Home Agent. In order for a terminal to communicate with a
particular Home Agent, the value assigned here must match the SPI of the Home
Agent. The default value is 333.
Note: The minimum acceptable value is 256.
Home Agent Key
The “Home Agent Key” is a 16 byte text string that acts as a password. In order for
the terminal to communicate with the Home Agent, the terminal key must match the
key assigned to the Home Agent.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol used to monitor and
manage devices attached to a TCP/IP network (providing they support SNMP).
SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that define the variables SNMP
can access. Each product has a defined set of MIBs that determine how SNMP
operates, the type of access allowed and so on. All Teklogix products support the
TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB – a MIB that defines some common features across
Teklogix products. All devices also support MIB-II, a management information base
that defines the common features of TCP/IP networks.

Group Name
The name assigned here allows MapRF users to group devices by a common name.
This name is defined in the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB (refer to the introductory
paragraph under the heading “SNMP” on page 190 for details about MIBs). The
“Group Name” is also displayed on the terminal statistics screen.

Contact
This field identifies the contact person for this managed node along with
information about how to get in touch with this person.

Name
The value assigned here is the name assigned by the network administrator for this
managed node. Normally, this is the node's domain name.

Location
This parameter is used to identify the physical location of this node (e.g., Warehouse
A: Pillar 32B).

SNMP Enable
When ‘SNMP Enable” is set to “Y”, the default value, SNMP functions are enabled.
If SNMP is not used, set this parameter to “N” to disable this feature.

Auth Trap
A trap is a report sent to SNMP managers when authorization failures occur. The
value assigned to this parameter is defined in MIB-II. Setting the “Auth Trap”
parameter to “Y” allows authorization traps to be sent when a failure is detected
(e.g., an SNMP message received with a bad community name).

SNMP

The “Communities” parameter provides a means of limiting access to SNMP

managed devices. The “Communities” sub-menu allows the network administrator
to determine the type of access allowed for each area name and IP address.
Community Range
Community Public see text
IP
Access Read
RowStatus Active

All SNMP messages carry a community name which is validated against a locally
defined community table to allow certain kinds of access (e.g., Read or Read/Write
access).
Note: The community table is defined in TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB. It can be
accessed by SNMP and through the local Parameters menu.

Community
This parameter displays the community name itself.

IP
This parameter identifies the IP address. If the “Access” parameter indicates Read
or Read/Write, a non-zero IP address will restrict the source of SNMP commands
to be accepted only if they originate from the specified IP address. A null IP address
can be accessed from any source. If the “Access” parameter has a value of
TrapDest, the IP specifies the destination IP address for traps. Note that more than
one trap destination can be configured.

Access
The value assigned to the “Access” parameter determines the use of the community
row. Read indicates that this community name provides read-only access to the
variables. Read/Write means this community name can both read and write
variables. Trap Dest indicates that this community row is only used to define a
trap destination. Note that “IP” must also be set for these rows to be effective.

RowStatus
“RowStatus” specifies the status of this row of the table. The allowable values
include Active and NotInService. A row configured using the Parameters menu
should always be set to Active.

Batt Thresh
Note: This parameter is only available when the Teklogix security password is
entered at startup. (‘Allow Teklogix’ must be set to “Y” – see page 195).
The SNMP agent periodically polls the battery level and compares the level to the
value assigned as the low battery threshold – “Batt Thresh. If the battery level is
lower than the value assigned to the “Batt Thresh” parameter, a trap is sent only
once until the battery level increases – presumably, when the battery has been
replaced. This parameter is set to ‘0’ (zero) by default.

CQ Thresh
Note: This parameter is only available when the Teklogix security password is
entered at startup. (‘Allow Teklogix’ must be set to “Y” – see page 195).
The SNMP agent polls the channel quality on a periodic basis and compares it to the
value assigned as the low channel quality threshold – “CQ Thresh”. If the channel
quality is lower than this threshold, a trap is sent only once until the channel quality
increases to a recovery level. This parameter is set to ‘0’ (zero) by default.

Warning: ALWAYS TURN THE TERMINAL OFF before connecting or
disconnecting any bar code reader.

To connect a bar code reader (either a scanner or a contact wand) to the terminal,
attach the device to the 28-pin peripheral port at the bottom of the unit.
Before using the bar code reader, you may need to change some parameters.
For details, review “Barcode” on page 137.

8.1.1 Entering Data With A Bar Code Reader

The terminal supports two types of bar code readers: contact wands or scanners.
To use a scanner, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use the wand as follows:
• Hold the wand at less than 30° from the vertical.
• If there is a switch on the wand, turn it on before starting the scan.
• Keep the tip in contact with the entire label.
• Move the wand across the label at a steady rate.
• Begin the scan on an area of the label with a light background, and move
the wand as if drawing a straight line across the label.

The 7035 Battery

8.2 The 7035 Battery

Warning: When a battery is removed from the terminal, a backup of the
system, application and any work in progress is maintained for
up to 10 minutes. A fresh battery must be installed within this
10 minute time frame. THIS BACKUP WILL NOT FUNCTION
UNLESS THE TERMINAL IS TURNED OFF BEFORE THE
BATTERY IS REMOVED. Removing the battery while the unit is
operating will result in a full reboot.
Even after the system backup has expired, the date and time are
maintained for at least 72 hours without a battery.

7035 Lithium-Ion batteries typically operate for nine to fifteen hours1 after a charge.
These batteries do not require conditioning. Each battery pack tracks its own
capacity using an onscreen horizontal bar graph, referred to as the “battery gauge”.
The battery gauge displays the percentage of remaining battery power capacity –
0 to 100%, resolution 10% of nominal capacity. The operator is notified when the
battery capacity is low.
Typical battery life is 500 cycles or 2 years average use. A fast charge is completed
in 3.5 to 4 hours. The 7035 terminal will notify the user when the battery
performance has degraded to the point that it should be discarded.

1 Times are approximate and may vary depending on operating conditions and
the type of radio used.

Sled supply) and connects the data lines to the 7035 terminal.
The GPS unit should be mounted with a clear, unobstructed view of the GPS
satellites. For optimal performance, the GPS unit should be mounted in an area that
provides exposure to as large a swath of unobstructed sky as possible – a vehicle
roof is an excellent choice.
Important: Keep in mind that some windows have thermal and/or UV filter or
tint coatings that may shield satellite signals from the GPS
receiver.
Psion Teklogix provides four types of Garmin mounting brackets to secure your
GPS unit in position.

8.10 Active Transient Filter Power Supply

The Active Transient Filter Power Supply (Model #8742) is designed to filter out
large volumes of transients and in addition, it provides a power supply.

Active Transient Filter Power Supply

Note: Water will not harm the Pre Regulator/Transient Suppressor if mounted in
a way that prevents water from pooling in the upper case. The Pre-Reg
should be mounted vertically with the mounting flange face down. The
power module inside the unit is sealed. If mounted properly, the water
drains out of the unit and does not harm the power supply inside the unit.

9.11 Power Management (7035 Only)

BIOS Compatibility Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS Interface
Specification, Rev 1.2.

9.11.1 Power Save States

System power states are based on the APM definitions.
APM Enabled The terminal is in full power state. All functions
are active and system power is managed. The “link”
indicator is displayed in uppercase letters, showing
that the radio is running at full power.
APM Standby The terminal is in low power state with most devices in
low power mode. The “link” indicator is displayed in
lowercase letters, showing that the radio is in low
power state. The CPU clock is slowed or stopped.
The system state is fully retained, and the terminal
returns to APM Enabled (full power) state quickly
when, for example, the operator presses a key or scans a
bar code. This state is not evident to the operator.
APM Suspend The terminal enters Suspend state from APM Standby
state after a configurable period of inactivity. The
terminal also enters Suspend state when the <BLUE>
<ENTER> key combination is pressed to turn the
terminal off. In this state, the 7035 appears to be off.
While the system context and memory are saved, the
communication link is down and the terminal display
is blank. To return to APM Enable state, the
<ENTER/ON> key must be pressed. Returning to
full power state takes approximately 4 seconds.
Off The terminal enters the Off state from APM Suspend
state after a configurable timeout. The terminal is
completely powered off with no CPU context or
memory contents saved. Only the real-time clock is
maintained. To return to the APM Enabled state, the
<ENTER/ON> key must be pressed. The system runs
through a complete reset/reboot sequence.

Important: Changes to these parameters will not take effect until the terminal
is reset by pressing and holding down the <BLUE> key and the
<ENTER/ON> key for a minimum of six seconds.

ESSID
The ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) is a string of characters, to a maximum
of 32, that the terminal uses to determine with which access points it can communi-
cate. The terminal will only communicate with access points configured with the
same ESSID. If a value is not assigned for this parameter or if “ANY” is entered, the
terminal will communicate with any available access point.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual D-1

Appendix D: Radio Parameters
TRX7431 WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 DS SS Radios

Station
The value entered in this parameter, to a maximum of 32 characters, is used to
identify the terminal (an 802.11 station) for diagnostic purposes.

AP Density
This parameter determines the density of access points in a network. The density
can be set to one of the following: Low, Medium or High.

Data Rate
The value entered in this parameter specifies the data rate to be used for message
transmission. The data rate can be set to one of the following: 1Mbit, 2Mbit,
5.5Mbit or 11Mbit.

Note: Keep in mind that an Access Point or 7035 can only communicate at 11
Mbit if “Data Rate” is set to “Auto”.

Reservation
“Reservation” specifies the medium reservation setting to be used. The medium
reservation specifies the number of octets in a message or fragment above which
a RTS/CTS handshake is performed to reserve the medium for the message or
fragment transmission. Setting this parameter to the maximum allowable value,
2347, disables medium reservation.

Pwr Saving
When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the radio operates in power saving
mode, utilizing the parameters listed in this sub-menu.
Pwr Saving Range
RX Multicasts N Y/N
Sleep Duration 100 1-65535

Rx Multicasts
When this parameter is set to “Y”, the terminal wakes from a sleep or suspend state
each time a multicast – a broadcast sent to multiple recipients from a single packet –
is sent over the network. “Rx Multicast” should be left disabled (set to “N”).

D-2 Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual

 Appendix D: Radio Parameters
TRX7431 WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 DS SS Radios

Sleep Duration
The value assigned for this parameter determines how many milliseconds must pass
before the terminal enters a full power state from a suspend state in order to check
for messages. If there are no messages, the terminal returns to suspend state.
Important: If the value assigned to this parameter is set at too high, you risk
missing messages sent over the network.

Network
The value assigned for this parameter – Infra or Adhoc – configures the radio to
operate in either an Ad Hoc (“Adhoc”) or Infrastructure (“Infra”) network. In an Ad
Hoc network, terminals pass data directly to other terminals – an access point is not
required. In an Infrastructure network, terminals must pass data through an access
point – terminals cannot communicate directly with other terminals in the network.

Channel
Important: The “Channel” parameter takes effect only when the “Network”
parameter is set to Adhoc.
The channel number you choose must be the same for all terminals on the network
that are set to Adhoc.

WEP Encrypt (Wired-Equivalent Privacy)

WEP Encrypt
Key 1 12345
Key 2
Key 3
Key 4
Tx Key 1

Note: This parameter is designed for use with Lucent WaveLAN 802 Silver
and Gold PC cards only. If another type of WaveLAN PC card is installed
in your terminal, “WEP Encrypt” must be disabled (set to “N”).
If the PC card installed in your terminal is not a WaveLAN card,
“WEP Encrypt” will not appear in the Radio menu.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual D-3

Appendix D: Radio Parameters
TRX7431 WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 DS SS Radios

When this parameter is configured, radio traffic is encrypted to protect it from

electronic eavesdroppers. The “WEP Encrypt” sub-menu provides four encryption
keys – Key 1 to Key 4. The transmit key – TX Key 1 – is used to define which
encryption key will be used to encrypt transmissions.
Encryption Keys – Key 1 to Key 4
Encryption keys Key 1 to Key 4 accept either ASCII or hex values. Keep the
following in mind when assigning encryption key values:
• If you enter a hexadecimal value, precede it with ‘0x’.
• Ensure that you enter the same encryption key value on the terminal and on
the Access Point with which the terminal will be communicating.
Depending on the type of Lucent WaveLAN card installed in your terminal (Silver
or Gold), the allowable encryption value varies.
Allowable values common to both Silver and Gold PC cards are as follows:
Silver & Gold PC Card
5 ASCII characters
10 hexadecimal digits
(add a ‘0x’ prefix)
Values restricted to Gold PC cards only are as follows:
Gold PC Card Only
13 ASCII characters
26 hexadecimal digits
(add a ‘0x’ prefix)

TX Key
This parameter allows you to specify the encryption key – from 1 to 4 – that will
be used to encrypt transmissions. For example, if you assign a value of 1, ‘Key 1’ is
used to encrypt transmissions. If you assign a value of 2, ‘Key 2’ is used to encrypt
transmissions, and so on.
Note: While all transmissions are encrypted using the key specified in
“Tx Key”, the radio will receive traffic encrypted with any of the
encryption keys.

802.1X
802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area networks
using Agere/Lucent WaveLAN radios (TRX7431). It provides authentication for
user devices attached to an Ethernet network, whether wired or wireless.
To activate 802.1X authentication:
• Set 802.1X to ‘Y’.
• Press <F1> to display the 802.1X sub-menu.

Stored User ID
When ‘Stored User ID’ is set to ‘Y’, the ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’ assigned
in this parameter sub-menu are used for 802.1X authentication. If ‘Stored User ID’
is disabled, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password when the
terminal is powered up.
802.1X Range
Stored User ID Y» see text

User Name And Password

The ‘Name’ and ‘Password’ assigned at this sub-menu are used by the access
points and RADIUS server on the network to authenticate the packets sent from
your terminal.
Stored User ID Range
User Name see text
Password see text

• Enter a unique user name and password in the string entry fields.
Important: If 802.1X is enabled, authentication will operate only if the access
points and RADIUS server on your network are configured for
EAP MD5 authentication. For 9150 configuration information,
refer to the “9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual” – PN 80440.

802.IQ v1
Note: If you are using AirFortress Secure Client™ software, 802.IQv1 parame-
ters are not available.
When 802.IQ v1 is set to “Y”, the attached sub-menu of parameters is enabled.
802.IQ v1 Range
Auto Radio Addr Y Y/N
Radio Address 0 1-3840
Initial RTT 0 0-1000

Auto Radio Addr

If this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), a request is sent to the network controller to
assign a radio address to the terminal radio.
If “Auto Radio Addr” is set to “N”, the value entered in the “Radio Address”
parameter is used. (Refer to “Radio Address” in this section for details about
manually assigned radio addresses.)
Important: Ensure that all terminals grouped in the system use the same
addressing process – that is, if you choose to use automatic
radio addressing, use this addressing process for all terminals
operating in the same system. If you choose to assign radio
addresses manually using the “Radio Address” parameter, use
this process for all terminals in the same system.

Radio Address
The value entered in the “Radio address” parameter is used to identify the
terminal over the radio link. A unique value from 1 to 3840 must be assigned
for each terminal.

 Appendix D: Radio Parameters
TRX7431 WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 DS SS Radios

Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)

Round trip time is the elapsed time between a terminal transmission and an access
point acknowledgement. Each terminal continuously adjusts the acceptable round
trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmissions. If
an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time
calculated, the terminal will resend the transmission.
Because terminals cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of
transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The terminal
uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round
trip calculations. Once the terminal begins transmitting and receiving data, this
value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmis-
sions and acknowledgements.

watts. Keep in mind that the allowable value may vary from country to country.

Rx Mode
When this parameter is set to Normal, the terminal wakes from a sleep or suspend
state each time a unicast, multicast or broadcast is sent over the network. Choosing
Unicast or No Multicast limits the terminal to receiving only one or the other of
these packet types.

Pwr Mode
The value assigned to this parameter determines the operating method the terminal
uses to conserve power. The default value – CAM (Constant Awake Mode) – keeps
the Cisco radio (TRX7441) powered up continuously ensuring quicker message
response.
PSP (Power Save Mode) powers the Cisco radio on and off based on a time algo-
rithm. Packets are retrieved only when the radio is scheduled to be ‘on’. When the
time expires, the radio turns off for the required time and then turns back on again to
retrieve more data.
When ‘Pwr Mode’ is set to FASTPSP, the terminal radio switches between PSP
mode and CAM depending on network traffic. The terminal radio switches to CAM
when retrieving a large number of packets and then switches to PSP once the
packets have been received.

Appendix D: Radio Parameters
TRX7441 802.11b DS SS Radio Parameters

Network
The value assigned for this parameter – Infra or Adhoc – configures the radio to
operate in either an Ad Hoc (“Adhoc”) or Infrastructure (“Infra”) network. In an Ad
Hoc network, terminals pass data directly to other terminals – an access point is not
required. In an Infrastructure network, terminals must pass data through an access
point – terminals cannot communicate directly with other terminals in the network.

Channel
Important: The “Channel” parameter takes effect only when the “Network”
parameter is set to Adhoc.
The channel number you choose must be the same for all terminals on the network
that are set to Adhoc.

Mixed Cells
When this parameter is set to “Y”, the 7035 can communicate with Cisco access
points that have encryption set to ‘optional’ – that is, whether or not encryption is
available, the terminal will be able to communicate with a Cisco access point. If
‘Mixed Cells’ is set to “N”, the 7035 can only communicate with Cisco access
points that have full encryption enabled.

Note: This parameter should be set to “N” when communicating with a Teklogix
9150 access point.

Auth Type
The value assigned for this parameter determines the type of authentication used.
Choosing None means no authentication is used.
If Shared key authentication is selected, the access point sends a known unen-
crypted challenge packet to the TRX7441 Cisco radio which then encrypts the
packet and sends it back to the access point. The access point attempts to decrypt the
encrypted packet and forwards an authentication response packet back to the radio,
indicating the success or failure of the decryption. If the packet is successfully
encrypted/decrypted, the user is authenticated.

WEP Encrypt (Wired-Equivalent Privacy)

This parameter encrypts radio traffic to protect it from electronic eavesdroppers. To
enable the encryption keys:
• Set the ‘WEP Encrypt’ parameter to ‘Y’.
The “WEP Encrypt” sub-menu provides four encryption keys – Key 1 to Key 4. The
transmit key – TX Key 1 – is used to define which encryption key will be used to
encrypt transmissions.

Encryption Keys – Key 1 to Key 4

Encryption keys Key 1 to Key 4 accept either ASCII or hex values. Keep the
following in mind when assigning encryption key values:
• If you enter a hexadecimal value, precede it with ‘0x’.
• Ensure that you enter the same encryption key value on the terminal and on
the Access Point with which the terminal will be communicating.
Allowable values are as follows:
• Key 1 (5/13 ASCII digits or “0x” followed by 10/26 hex digits).
The default is 12345.
• Key 2 (5/13 ASCII digits or “0x” followed by 10/26 hex digits).
The default is "".
• Key 3 (5/13 ASCII digits or “0x” followed by 10/26 hex digits).
The default is "".
• Key 4 (5/13 ASCII digits or “0x” followed by 10/26 hex digits).
The default is "".
TX Key
This parameter allows you to specify the encryption key – from 1 to 4 – that will
be used to encrypt transmissions. For example, if you assign a value of 1, ‘Key 1’ is
used to encrypt transmissions. If you assign a value of 2, ‘Key 2’ is used to encrypt
transmissions, and so on.
Note: While all transmissions are encrypted using the key specified in “Tx Key”,
the radio will receive traffic encrypted with any of the encryption keys.
LEAP
LEAP is an authentication protocol that is proprietary to Cisco and is designed to
operate with Cisco Access Points. It is encapsulated in an EAP (Extensible Authen-
tication Protocol) packet used in conjunction with the 802.1x standard to authenti-
cate users at the MAC layer. The 802.1x standard does not specify EAP types.
LEAP also provides the terminal with a new WEP key. Each terminal has a unique
WEP key to increase the security of the 802.11 radio link.
When this parameter is set to “Y”, a unique User Name and Password must be
assigned for the terminal which the access point uses to forward authentication
information to the RADIUS server.

for details about enabling channels.

Power-Up Chan
If this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the terminal will start communicating on
the channel specified in the “Channel #” parameter when the terminal is powered
up. This setting may prevent the migration of terminals to the same channel due to
uneven coverage in some sites. If this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the terminal
will continue communicating on the same channel that it was on before it was
turned off.

Channel

Channel Enable

•
•
•
CH 20 enable Y Y/N

These parameters are used to enable (Y) or disable (N) up to 20 channels – the
maximum number of channels supported by the TRX7370 radio. Enabling a
channel allows the channel to be set to an operating channel (“Channel #”) and also
makes the channel available for channel searching. If, for example, if channel 1 is
the operating channel and all other channels are enabled, the terminal may roam
through all 20 channels. Note that the “Channel Enable” menu only displays chan-
nels that have been configured with frequencies.

Switch Speed
This parameter changes the threshold the terminal uses to determine when commu-
nication quality with a base station is unacceptable. When this threshold is
exceeded, the terminal starts channel searching for a new base station.
Setting this parameter to “Slow” means a higher threshold – the terminal is more tol-
erant of poor communication quality. When the communication quality of the termi-
nal radio drops below 46%, the terminal monitors the channel quality for 15 time-
out periods before searching for a new channel.
If “Switch speed” is set to “Fast”, the current channel is monitored for only up to
2 time-out periods before channel switching begins.

Important: “Fast Switch” is most effective where coverage areas are largely
overlapping. If the coverage areas barely overlap, have dead spots,
or if the terminal frequently operates on the fringe of coverage,
this parameter should be set to “Slow”.

This parameter can be used to set the channel search order the terminal will use if
communication quality drops and channel switching is required. If this parameter is
left at the default setting of “N”, the terminal uses a standard algorithm to decide
which channel it should switch to in the event of poor channel quality.
If “Manual Table” is set to “Y”, the terminal uses the channel switching lists
specified in the Manual Table. Each channel list consists of up to 8 channels,
with all channels enabled before they are entered into the “Manual Table”. If
communication quality falls below 46%, only the channels entered in the
“Manual Table” are considered for channel switching. The channel search is
carried out in the order in which the channels were entered in the table.
To move the cursor to the right to the next channel in a channel list:
• Press the <TAB> key.
To move the cursor to the left in a channel list:
• Press <SHIFT><TAB>.
Warning: It is not recommended that the “Manual table” parameter be used

D.3.3 Poll Timing

Poll Timing Range
Sync Delay 17 1-40
Window Delay 19 1-40
Poll Timeout 20 1-200
Late Tx Limit 2 1-10

Sync Delay
Important: This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting
without a clear understanding of radio protocol timing.
“Sync delay” specifies the delay between the time of the base station transmission
and the first response window, measured in milliseconds. The value assigned to this
parameter must be compatible with other terminals and base stations in the system.
The default setting of 17 is based on the requirements of a 2 level modulation
narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud.

Window Delay
Important: The value assigned to this parameter should not be changed from
the factory setting without a clear understanding of the timing of
the radio protocol.
This parameter specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) the terminal should
add to each response window in order to accommodate the receive/transmit
switching characteristics of the radio. The value assigned must be compatible with
other terminals and base stations in the system. The default setting of 19 is based on
the requirements of a 2 level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud.

Poll Timeout
This parameter (in units of 16.6 ms) sets the time-out value used for automatic
channel switching. “Poll Timeout” is the time during which the terminal should hear
at least one poll from a base station. As each “Poll Timeout” passes without a
successful poll from the base station, the terminal channel quality decreases. If the
channel quality falls to below 46%, the terminal begins searching for a new channel.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual D-17

Appendix D: Radio Parameters
Power Saving

Late Tx Limit
The value entered for this parameter (measured in milliseconds) sets the maximum
allowable deviation time from the start of a response window during which a
terminal can make a transmission. After this threshold, the transmission will
not be attempted and the terminal will try again at the next opportunity. For
example, suppose this parameter is set to 5. From the beginning of the response
window, the terminal can be up to 5 milliseconds late sending a transmission.
Beyond this threshold, the transmission is not attempted. The terminal waits for
the next opportunity.

D.3.4 Power Saving

Power Saving Range
Idle Poll Limit 10 1-200
Pwr Off Time 10 1-60

Idle Poll Limit

This parameter determines how many transmit opportunities – base station polls
with available response windows – must be consecutively skipped for the
terminal to put the radio into power-down mode for power saving. Lower values
cause the terminal to go into power saving mode quickly, extending battery life
but reducing terminal responsiveness. Higher values increase responsiveness but
decrease battery life. “Idle Poll Limit” is only used when “Power Saving” is enabled
(set to “Y”).

Pwr Off Time

This parameter determines the amount of time (in seconds) the terminal will keep
the radio in power-down mode when a power down period has been initiated.
“Pwr Off Time” is only used when “Power Saving” is enabled (set to “Y”).

D.4.2 WLAN Timing

WLAN Timing Range
Reinit tmo 10 5-20

Reinit tmo
“Reinit tmo” controls how soon a terminal sends a warm initialize message to the
controller when a cellular acknowledgement is not received for a previously sent
message. This parameter operates in units of seconds and is set to 10 by default.

D.4.3 Power Saving

Power Saving Range
PwrON time 0 0-20
PwrOFF time 0 0-20
PwrON xmit 0 1-20

PwrON time
This parameter is used in conjunction with “PwrOFF time” to control the duration
of time the radio stays on after a message is sent (twice this period if application
data is sent). “PwrON time” is in units of 1/2 seconds. The range is 0 to 20 and
increases the radio on time in increments of 0.5 seconds. “PwrON time” should be
set from 8 to 20 for 902 MHz radios.

Important: Using power saving in Wireless LAN will affect system perfor-
mance since terminals cannot receive routing information when
the radio is turned off, and will thus be slower to hop to new
routes. Therefore, the “PwrON time” parameter should not be set
lower than 5.

Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual D-21

Appendix D: Radio Parameters
CIS Data

PwrOFF time
This parameter is used in conjunction with “PwrON time” to reduce the power
consumption of the radio. The terminal turns off for this period of time, and
following the power off time, turns on for a very short period of time to determine
if the terminal is still on-line. If the terminal is on-line, it is turned off for the
“PwrOFF time”. If the terminal is off-line, it is re-initialized and stays on for
the “PwrON time”.
In cellular mode, the radio turns off for twice this period after all channels have been
checked and no suitable channel is found. This parameter is in units of 1/2 seconds.
To disable this parameter, set it to zero.

PwrON xmit
This parameter determines the amount of time the radio stays on after a
transmission, waiting for a response from the base station.

Important: If the value in the “PwrON Xmit” is set too low, the terminal may
miss the response from the base station, resulting in a lock-up for
the user. This parameter needs to be set between 2 and 20 depend-
ing on the response time of the system. For example, if the host
responds slowly, the value in this parameter should be set to a
higher value.
