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 [...]

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[...]

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[...]
