3-1 Chapter 3 Operational Theory Before you j ump in and start writing a complex h ost program, i t might be nice to be familiar with the theory behind the operation of your RF Terminal. Basic RF System communications… A WIFI RF Terminal system consists of three componen ts – Host Server , Access Points and RF Terminal . The Acces s Poin ts are[...]

3-2 When the Server recei ves a SIGN ON message from a RF Terminal, the Server transmits the SIGN ON information to th e host application program. The host application can th en do one of two things: 1. If it has something for the Terminal to do, it can send a prompt to the Terminal. The RF Terminal receives the prompt, waits for t he operator to e[...]

3-3 Can I change a prompt after it has been sent? Normally once the Terminal has receive d a prompt from the host, it goes to sleep and waits (as long as it takes) fo r the operator to scan or key something in response. The host cannot se nd another data entry pr ompt without creating a "Sequence Error." Ho wever, you might want to ch ang[...]

4-1 Chapter 4 P erf ormance Issues Evaluating your area of planned operation Since every operational env ironment is different, it is impossible fo r us to tell you exactly what equipment you n eed and where you should put it to achieve maximum performance fr om your RF System. However, since access points are very inexpe nsive, you should be able [...]

4-2 covers, you won't have a p roblem. If you find a spot that none of the planned Access Poin t locations will cover, you will have to mov e one of the Access Points closer to the pr oblem spot or plan on addi ng another cl oser Access Point. It is best to locate the Access Point in the cent er as high as possible of the area you intend cover[...]

4-3 computer is located in a metal shed, you will need at least one Access Point located ou tside th e metal sh ed. • The more walls you try to transmit through, the more the signal breaks down. Walls that have meta l studs (interior office w alls) and concrete walls with steel reba r slightly degrade the sign al with each wall you try to go thro[...]

When an 802 RF Terminal is turned on and “Signs In” to the host, the WD802Term control repor ts a termina l ID number to the hos t applicat i[...]

5-2 • Parse the Returned Strings thoroughly . Don’t assume anything about the nex t response from the Server to yo ur program and loo k only for the partial string such as the ID only. Parse the string returned comp letely, and be sure you are ex amining every possibility. Failure to do so is a common mistake. • Plan for expansion . You may s[...]

6-1 Chapter 6 Pr ogramming f or the 802 RF T erminal The programming support of fered for the 802 RF Terminal is an ActiveX drop- in component. Every necessary function is defined - you just complete the cod e for each function . The ActiveX co mponent functio ns as a Serv er for managing data traffic to and from one or more terminals (your “ter [...]

6-8 Keep in mind that unless your terminal is configur ed with a static IP address, each tim e it is powered on it can have a dif ferent IP address (issu ed by your DHCP server ). Also, regardl ess of the termina l’s IP addr ess, it can be assigned a differ ent ID (by WD802Term) each time it Sig ns On to th e server. Keep this in min d and design[...]

6-9 Methods – WD802Term ActiveX Methods are commands that you issue t o the WD802term control. All of the " Inputxxx " commands cause the terminal t o wait for operator input. Note that your development environm ent may show more available methods for the WD802term contro l than are listed here. This is normal. You may ignore methods yo[...]
