Setting the Segment
Checking the
Segment button restricts a terminal group to a range of IP addresses. The
IP Address can be any valid address on the segment, as it is used only to identify the segment. The setting of the Net Mask can be used to restrict the range. This feature is useful for segregating terminal groups by location.

RF Monitor is an "Over The Air" diagnostic tool. It is used to collect diagnostic trace information from RF terminals running PowerNet Twin Client software.
It runs on a Windows PC and will send a command to the RF terminal to start tracing.
The terminal, when it receives this command, will start sending the trace information over the RF link to the PC that issued the command. This will be written to a file on this
PC that can be sent to us for analysis.

RF Monitor is a very small program and does not even require installation. Just place it in a directory on your PC and create a shortcut to run it. It will run on all versions of
Windows except V3.1 and Windows 95.
1. Move RF Monitor to a Windows PC with Network access to the RF terminal.
2. Run RF Monitor. (Create a shortcut or do a
Start/Run
.)

Common Problems with RF Monitor
• The trace won’t start.
RF Monitor uses UDP to send commands to the RF device. On busy networks, UDP packets are not always delivered. The terminal can miss the command to start the trace. Below are some things that can be useful. a. Ping the RF terminal from the PC used before starting RF Monitor. (This seems to "open" a path to the terminal.) b. Start the Monitor with the terminal at the
Press Any Key
prompt. (While the terminal is at this prompt, it is not doing much and has a better chance of hearing the start trace command.)
• I don't understand what this trace means.
The trace that this tool collects is engineering-level information. It allows an end user to collect information that can be analyzed by Connect engineering.
It will generally be requested by Connect support to help diagnose a reported problem.
To be able to read and understand these completely, you need to have an understanding of:
Supported Equipment Manual

a. Emulation protocols (IBM 5250, IBM 3270, DEC VT200, etc.) b. PowerNet Twin Client products c. RF network concepts d. Wired network concepts e. Telnet sessions f. TCP/IP
They are text files that can be read with any editor or viewer and can be useful to end users and integrators, even if they may not have all the requirements above.
• I have an intermittent problem and it could happen on any one of my 100
terminals. RF Monitor only does one terminal at a time. What can I do?
RF Monitor is not the right diagnostic tool for this type of problem. PowerNet products have another diagnostic tool that can be used called the "Diagnostic Server".
This tool can be set up to run trace diagnostics on up to 300 terminals at the same time. This tool will be provided as needed for systems under PowerNet support agreement OR by T&M when they are not covered.
It also includes the service of a PowerNet support engineer.
