Emulations and Datastreams
About this Guide xiii
The TekTerm Server performs emulation conversion: the translation of data between the emulation of the host computer and the emulation used by the mobile devices.
The data that is sent from a host computer to a terminal, and the data which is returned to the host from the terminal, is called a datastream.
Legacy Psion devices can accept only two types of datastream: TESS and ANSI. TESS (Teklogix Screen
Subsystem) is the native emulation used by the original Teklogix terminals. TESS features such as page saving, passthru printing, and TekTerm Screen Formatter are available. ANSI emulation is a standard type of datastream used by wired VT-type terminals; these terminals are specified by the American National Standards
Institute.
Some Psion mobile devices can accept HTML datastreams for display by a browser.
Other types of supported datastream provided by the host must be converted into TESS or HTML datastreams by the TekTerm Server.
The emulation software on the TekTerm Server can accept IBM-5250, IBM-3270, HP2392, and HTML datastreams from host computers, and can convert them to, and from, TESS. TekTerm Server caches and compresses information when creating TESS datastreams to optimize performance. This is most useful when transmitting across low bandwidth connections using narrow band radios.
The emulation software can also convert IBM-5250 and IBM-3270 datastreams to HTML datastreams, so that they may be viewed through a web browser on the mobile device. TekTerm Server does not cache or compress HTML datastreams.
ANSI datastreams from host computers are not converted by the TekTerm Server before being sent to the mobile devices. The TekTerm Server can, however, cache and compress ANSI datastreams to conserve bandwidth on a narrow band radio network.
xiv TekTerm Server Software User Manual
Some hosts may have Psion handler or SDK software. This software runs on the host and communicates directly with the host applications. Handlers and SDKs provide TESS datastreams which are compatible with
Psion mobile devices.

Overview
The TekTerm Server can emulate an IBM 3274 controller connected to a number of IBM terminals. The emulation software inside the TekTerm Server converts the 3274 data transparently to and from TESS or HTTP data which is then sent to and from the Psion devices. The connection between the TekTerm Server and its base stations, access points, and devices is transparent to the IBM host.

Default: Not selected.
When selected, the
TekTerm Server
allows the host to send data directly to the serial port of the mobile device. This is commonly used for printing.
Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through:
On the screen to be sent through the mobile device serial port, the word
PASSTHRU
has to appear on the first line, starting in the second column. The actual data to be sent to the mobile device may start anywhere below the first line.
Attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word PASSTHRU pushes all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required attributes should occupy column 1 of the first line (just preceding the word PASSTHRU).
For example:
Procedures where @ is an attribute.
When the TekTerm Server finishes sending the data to the printer attached to the mobile device, it sends a packet containing only a Record Separator (0x1e) character to the host. The host must wait for this packet before sending any more screens (including other PASSTHRU screens) to the mobile device.
Refer to the user manual for the mobile device for information about setting parameters on the mobile device for pass-through.
Default: Not selected.

Description
Legacy setting. The last device to support this is the 7030.
When selected, the TekTerm Server can provide pages to be loaded as local TESS procedures in the mobile devices.
The local procedures are selected from a menu on the mobile device. The mobile device can perform these procedures when it is offline. Later when the mobile device is online, it sends the results of these functions to the host.
Procedures
must also be selected.
Default: Not selected.
When selected, the
TekTerm Server
uses TekTerm Screen Formatter. TekTerm
Screen Formatter was previously known as TSF/0.
Default: Not selected.
When enabled, the TekTerm Server sends the print page to a mobile device whenever the mobile device requests it (by sending the F17 function key from the mobile device, or the PRINT key on older mobile devices). The TekTerm Server sends the function response back to the host.
Support for printing must be enabled on the mobile device; refer to the appropriate user manual for the mobile device for more information.
Default: Not selected.
The number of host screens (or pages) stored on the mobile device.
The TekTerm Server maintains an image of each page stored on the mobile device.
After receiving an application screen, the TekTerm Server tries to match the screen with a stored page.
If a similar page is already in the mobile device memory, the TekTerm Server instructs the mobile device to re-display its copy of the page; only the necessary changes are sent from the TekTerm Server. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the mobile device.
There is a corresponding parameter on the mobile device itself, and the actual number of saved pages is the smaller of the two values.
A value of 1 (one) disables this feature.
Values: 1 to 79
Default: 8
Field
Host Print
3274/Telnet Host Configuration 2 - 7
Description
When selected, an application can send data to the display on the mobile device as well as to its attached printer.
The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into a 24 x 80 application screen. If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The TekTerm Server identifies the additional text as a print page by the presence of the string PRINT beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. PRINT should be defined as display-only text.
The print page is positioned below the display page of the mobile device (see the following diagram). The size of the print page is always the same as the display page of the mobile device (assuming that in the mobile device configuration, the page length is less than 12 lines).
When Host Print is enabled, the TekTerm Server passes the print page to the mobile device after receiving the application screen from the host.
Unlike with the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer.
Support for printing must be enabled on the mobile device; refer to the appropriate user manual for the mobile device for more information
Default: Not selected.
2 - 8 TekTerm Server Software User Manual
Field
Transmit Line
AIAG
Description
When enabled, all modified data on the mobile device is automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into an entry field on or above this line.
The value in this text box specifies the line on the screen which is designated as the transmit line. The last entry field on or above the transmit line on the screen is identified as the field which will cause all modified data to be sent to the host. Any entry fields that exist on lines below the transmit line will not cause the screen to be transmitted.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
A value of 24 causes the last entry field on each application screen to be defined as transmit-upon-entry.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use
AIAG mode.
When barcode data is entered on a mobile device, the mobile device searches for
AIAG fields on the current page. These fields can accept the special barcode data.
The data preloaded into the AIAG field by the application program determines whether a barcode is accepted. The format of the preloaded data is:
<mode><AIAG prefix>
The application program distinguishes an entry field as AIAG by preceding the entry field with this special AIAG character.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the AIAG mode character table see
AIAG Mode Values on page 2-12 .
Field
Visible Match
Character
3274/Telnet Host Configuration 2 - 9
Description
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use visible match mode.
With field matching, the host computer preloads data into an entry field. Now the mobile device operator can make an entry that matches this preloaded data. For visible match fields, the preloaded data is displayed in the entry field on the mobile device.
The application program distinguishes an entry field as a match field by preceding it with a special character.
The special character is entered as the decimal character code for one of the first
127 ASCII characters.
For example, assume that the > character (ASCII decimal character code 62) is defined for visible match fields. This character must immediately precede the entry field:
Part #>_______
The field: Part #> includes the character > and is followed by the part number entry field on the screen. If any other character was chosen as the last character of the text, the entry field would not be a match field.
The preloaded data sent to a mobile device may consist of the exact characters, special match characters or a combination of the two.
For example, suppose you wish to preload an entry field with a part number. If the exact part number is known, you may preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is required, and part numbers always begin with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen character and four digits, then the match string for the field could be: &&–####.
If an entry is different from the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the mobile device beeps and the cursor is in the first position of the match field.
Now either another entry in the match field can be made, or the cursor can be moved to a new field. When an entry (even if it does not match the host preloaded data) is made in a match field, this entry is sent to the host as part of the modified data from the mobile device during the next transmission.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this match field feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the Psion match characters see
.

Field
Hidden Match
Character
Serial I/O
Print Line
Print Form Length
Barcode
Description
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use hidden match mode.
A special character is used to mark Hidden Match fields in a TESS screen. This character precedes the field contents of the Hidden Match field. In hidden match fields, as opposed to visible match fields, the preloaded entry is not displayed in the entry field on the mobile device.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the Psion match characters see
.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use serial
I/O mode.
Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from, and output to, a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by preceding the field with a special character.
If this character precedes a fixed field, the data is sent to the serial port of the mobile device. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the serial port of the mobile device.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
The starting line number of the print page on the application screen.
A value of 1 (one) causes the display page to be printed. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The printer form length, in lines.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use barcode only mode.
Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a barcode reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-input-only by preceding the field with a special character.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
3274/Telnet Host Configuration 2 - 11
Field
Entry Line
Field Overhead
Command Region
Description
The number of the first line displayed if there is no entry field above this line on the screen and if an entry field is at or below this line.
The Entry Line parameter allows an automatic offset within the host screen.
Normally, Psion mobile devices only display the upper left corner of the application screen because of their smaller display size.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the TekTerm Server to join them into one field.
Sometimes the TekTerm Server will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link.
For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was 5, then these fields would be joined into one.
This feature affects fields with the Normal display attribute only.
Values: 0 to 80
Default: 5
These two pairs of text boxes define a region of the host screen which the TekTerm
Server examines for the presence of reserved commands. The first text box of each pair contains the row number; the second contains the column number.
These four numbers represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. To define the last two lines of the host screen as the command region, enter 23, 1 - 24, 80
The only commands supported in the command region are ALARM and FONT:
• When the word ALARM is placed anywhere within the command region, the
TekTerm Server
sends a TESS beep command to the mobile device.
• When the word FONT is placed anywhere within the command region, and followed by a number (the font code), the
TekTerm Server
sends the appropriate
TESS Change Font command to the mobile device.
For font codes see Font Code List for Open TekTerm on IngenuityWorking.
Font codes are only required for versions of OTT before version D.
Rows: 0 to 24
Columns: 0 to 80
Default: 0,0 - 0,0

Overview
The TekTerm Server can emulate multiple TN5250 sessions. The emulation software inside the TekTerm
Server converts the IBM-5294 data transparently to and from TESS or HTTP data which is then sent to and from the Psion devices. The connection between the TekTerm Server and its base stations, access points, and devices is transparent to the IBM host.

Description
This is how the
TekTerm Server
renders underlined fields sent from the host.
Values: None, Blink, Bold, Reverse.
Default: None.
When selected, mobile devices beep when the word ALARM appears on the application screen, in the location specified by the Command Region setting. The word ALARM should be a display-only field.
Command Region
must also be set.
Default: Not selected.
When selected, the
TekTerm Server that is filled with spaces.
creates an empty entry field for an entry field
Default: Not selected.
When selected, the
TekTerm Server
allows the host to send data directly to the serial port of the mobile device. This is commonly used for printing.
Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through:
On the screen to be sent through the mobile device serial port, the word
PASSTHRU
has to appear on the first line, starting in the second column. The actual data to be sent to the mobile device may start anywhere below the first line.
Attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word PASSTHRU pushes all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required attributes should occupy column
1 of the first line (just preceding the word PASSTHRU).
For example: where @ is an attribute.
When the TekTerm Server finishes sending the data to the printer attached to the mobile device, it sends a packet containing only a Record Separator (0x1e) character to the host. The host must wait for this packet before sending any more screens (including other PASSTHRU screens) to the mobile device.
Refer to the user manual for the mobile device for information about setting parameters on the mobile device for pass-through.
Default: Not selected.

Default: Not selected.
When selected, the
TekTerm Server
uses TekTerm Screen Formatter. TekTerm
Screen Formatter was previously known as TSF/0.
Default: Not selected.
When enabled, the TekTerm Server sends the print page to a mobile device whenever the mobile device requests it (by sending the F17 function key from the mobile device, or the PRINT key on older mobile devices). The TekTerm Server sends the function response back to the host.
Support for printing must be enabled on the mobile device; refer to the appropriate user manual for the mobile device for more information.
Default: Not selected.
The number of host screens (or pages) stored on the mobile device.
The TekTerm Server maintains an image of each page stored on the mobile device. After receiving an application screen, the TekTerm Server tries to match the screen with a stored page.
If a similar page is already in the mobile device memory, the TekTerm Server instructs the mobile device to re-display its copy of the page; only the necessary changes are sent from the TekTerm Server. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the mobile device.
There is a corresponding parameter on the mobile device itself, and the actual number of saved pages is the smaller of the two values.
A value of 1 (one) disables this feature.
Values: 1 to 79
Default: 8
Field
Host Print
5250/Telnet Host Configuration 3 - 7
Description
When selected, an application can send data to the display on the mobile device as well as to its attached printer.
The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into a 24 x 80 application screen.
If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The TekTerm Server identifies the additional text as a print page by the presence of the string PRINT beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. PRINT should be defined as display-only text.
The print page is positioned below the display page of the mobile device (see the following diagram). The size of the print page is always the same as the display page of the mobile device (assuming that in the mobile device configuration, the page length is less than 12 lines).
When Host Print is enabled, the TekTerm Server passes the print page to the mobile device after receiving the application screen from the host.
Unlike with the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer.
Support for printing must be enabled on the mobile device; refer to the appropriate user manual for the mobile device for more information
Default: Not selected.
3 - 8 TekTerm Server Software User Manual
Field
Transmit Line
AIAG
Description
When enabled, all modified data on the mobile device is automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into an entry field on or above this line.
The value in this text box specifies the line on the screen which is designated as the transmit line. The last entry field on or above the transmit line on the screen is identified as the field which will cause all modified data to be sent to the host. Any entry fields that exist on lines below the transmit line will not cause the screen to be transmitted.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
A value of 24 causes the last entry field on each application screen to be defined as transmit-upon-entry.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use
AIAG mode.
When barcode data is entered on a mobile device, the mobile device searches for
AIAG fields on the current page. These fields can accept the special barcode data. The data preloaded into the AIAG field by the application program determines whether a barcode is accepted. The format of the preloaded data is:
<mode><AIAG prefix>
The application program distinguishes an entry field as AIAG by preceding the entry field with this special AIAG character.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the AIAG mode character table see AIAG Mode Values on page 3-12
.
Field
Visible Match
Character
5250/Telnet Host Configuration 3 - 9
Description
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use visible match mode.
With field matching, the host computer preloads data into an entry field. Now the mobile device operator can make an entry that matches this preloaded data. For visible match fields, the preloaded data is displayed in the entry field on the mobile device.
The application program distinguishes an entry field as a match field by preceding it with a special character.
The special character is entered as the decimal character code for one of the first
127 ASCII characters.
For example, assume that the > character (ASCII decimal character code 62) is defined for visible match fields. This character must immediately precede the entry field:
Part #>_______
The field: Part #> includes the character > and is followed by the part number entry field on the screen. If any other character was chosen as the last character of the text, the entry field would not be a match field.
The preloaded data sent to a mobile device may consist of the exact characters, special match characters or a combination of the two.
For example, suppose you wish to preload an entry field with a part number. If the exact part number is known, you may preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is required, and part numbers always begin with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen character and four digits, then the match string for the field could be: &&–####.
If an entry is different from the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the mobile device beeps and the cursor is in the first position of the match field.
Now either another entry in the match field can be made, or the cursor can be moved to a new field. When an entry (even if it does not match the host preloaded data) is made in a match field, this entry is sent to the host as part of the modified data from the mobile device during the next transmission.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this match field feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the match characters see
.
3 - 10 TekTerm Server Software User Manual
Field
Hidden Match
Character
Serial I/O
Print Line
Print Form Length
Barcode
Description
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use hidden match mode.
A special character is used to mark Hidden Match fields in a TESS screen. This character precedes the field contents of the Hidden Match field. In hidden match fields, as opposed to visible match fields, the preloaded entry is not displayed in the entry field on the mobile device.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the match characters see
.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use serial
I/O mode.
Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from, and output to, a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial
I/O by preceding the field with a special character.
If this character precedes a fixed field, the data is sent to the serial port of the mobile device. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the serial port of the mobile device.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
The starting line number of the print page on the application screen.
A value of 1 (one) causes the display page to be printed. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The printer form length, in lines.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use barcode only mode.
Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a barcode reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-input-only by preceding the field with a special character.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
5250/Telnet Host Configuration 3 - 11
Field
Entry Line
Field Overhead
Command Region
Description
The number of the first line displayed if there is no entry field above this line on the screen and if an entry field is at or below this line.
The Entry Line parameter allows an automatic offset within the host screen.
Normally, Psion mobile devices only display the upper left corner of the application screen because of their smaller display size.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the TekTerm Server to join them into one field.
Sometimes the TekTerm Server will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link.
For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was 5, then these fields would be joined into one.
This feature affects fields with the Normal display attribute only.
Values: 0 to 80
Default: 5
These two pairs of text boxes define a region of the host screen which the
TekTerm Server examines for the presence of reserved commands. The first text box of each pair contains the row number; the second contains the column number.
These four numbers represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. To define the last two lines of the host screen as the command region, enter 23, 1 - 24, 80
The only commands supported in the command region are ALARM and FONT:
• When the word ALARM is placed anywhere within the command region, the
TekTerm Server
sends a TESS beep command to the mobile device.
• When the word FONT is placed anywhere within the command region, and followed by a number (the font code), the
TekTerm Server
sends the appropriate
TESS Change Font command to the mobile device.
For font codes see Font Code List for Open TekTerm on IngenuityWorking.
Font codes are only required for versions of OTT before version D.
Rows: 0 to 24
Columns: 0 to 80
Default: 0,0 - 0,0

Field
Escape Timeout
Threshold
Echo
ANSI/Telnet Host Configuration 4 - 5
Description
The escape timeout in 60ths of a second. This is the length of time that the
TekTerm Server holds an ESC while waiting for another character. If another character is received within this time the pair of characters are treated as an escape sequence. If another character is not received within this time, the ESC is sent on to its destination.
Host to Terminal:
When enabled, if Page Saving is enabled, Escape Timeout is ignored, and dangling escapes are carried over to the next screen.
When enabled, if Page Saving is not enabled, Escape Timeout applies.
Terminal to Host:
When enabled, the timeout is applied.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 12
It is recommended that this parameter be left at its default value.
For more information see Page Saving on page 4-6
.
When Page Saving is selected, this is the minimum number of bytes that must be received from the host before the TekTerm Server treats the data as a new saved page.
Values: 0 to 999
Default: 200
For more information see Page Saving on page 4-6
.
When selected smart-echo is enabled.
Smart echo reduces the amount of data sent to the mobile device by decreasing the number of radio transmissions.
When smart echo is not enabled, for a character mode application, each keystroke is sent to the host in one transmission, and the character is echoed by the host in another transmission.
When smart echo is enabled, the TekTerm Server does not send the host echo to the mobile devices if it matches the data sent from the mobile device. Thus, the number of radio transmissions is reduced.
This mode also reduces, or eliminates, the delay between typing a character on the keyboard and displaying the character echoed by the host. The maximum number of characters waiting for echo is 25. Any additional characters are sent to the host but not displayed.
Smart echo
must also be enabled on the mobile device.
Default: Selected.

Options Screen
.
Page Saving
Default: Not selected.
For information on arrow key remapping see
When selected, the TekTerm Server uses page saving, reducing data transmitted to the mobile devices.
The TekTerm Server maintains an image of each page stored on the mobile device. After receiving an application screen, the TekTerm Server tries to match the screen with a stored page. If the page is already in the mobile device, the
TekTerm Server instructs the mobile device to redisplay its stored copy of the page; minimal data is sent across the radio link for that page. If the TekTerm
Server finds no match for the page, the complete page is sent to the mobile device.
If a page is close enough to a saved one (close enough being defined by the
Threshold
setting) then only the redisplayed, and the changed, data are sent, resulting in reduced data transmission.
When page saving is enabled, the number of saved pages is that which is set on the mobile device. Refer to the appropriate user manual for details.
Page Saving consider
Double Byte
Characters
RLE
Default: Selected.
When selected a double byte character half is replaced with a space, preventing problems with mobile device screen displays.
While using double byte character sets (for example, Chinese or Korean), the page saving function can cause a double byte character to be partially overwritten. This can cause unprintable screen data and unintended characters; and may cause the mobile device to shift data on the screen.
Select this checkbox only when using double byte character sets.
Default: Not selected.
When selected, the TekTerm Server uses run-length encoding (RLE) on the data it sends across the radio link.
RLE compresses repeated characters going from the host to the mobile device. If repeated characters are found in the data stream, the first one is sent, followed by a short escape sequence (3 or 4 characters) which tells the mobile device how many times to repeat this character. In this way RLE compresses the data and decreases the total amount of radio link traffic.
Default: Not selected.
ANSI/Telnet Host Configuration 4 - 7
Field
Convert 7 to 8 Bits
Lower Character Set

Auto-login User ID prompt
Description
The text presented to the user to request a login.
Non-printable characters, such as are used in escape sequences, are allowed.
These characters can be entered using either octal or hexadecimal digits.
An octal escape sequence takes one of the forms:
\0d or \0dd or \0ddd
where each d can be any digit 0 to 7.
A hexadecimal escape sequence takes one of the forms:
\xh or \xhh
where each h can be 0 to 9, or any of a to f or A to F.
Each of these numeric escape sequences encodes one character. For example, the sequence \033abc becomes the character array {033,'a','b','c',0}
Values: Any ASCII string. Maximum 60 characters
Default: Press ENTER to login.
Notes:
If the octal ddd is greater than decimal 256, the code value of the represented character will be the remainder of decimal ddd/256.
\0
is considered as a character with a code value of 0.
The user ID presented by the TekTerm Server to the host for the auto-login sessions.
Values: Any ASCII string acceptable to the host. Maximum 15 characters.
Default: None.
The password presented by the TekTerm Server to the host for the auto-login sessions.
Values: Any ASCII string acceptable to the host. Maximum 15 characters.
Default: None.
The TekTerm Server compares this text to the text presented to it by the host.

Notes:
The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the password prompt.
The TekTerm Server compares this text to the text presented to it by the host.
When they match, the TekTerm Server assumes that the host has just sent a string informing the mobile device of a failed login attempt. The TekTerm Server
then presents the Auto-telnet Terminal Prompt on the screen of the mobile device
to request the user to login manually.
Values: Any ASCII string that does not include spaces. Maximum 15 characters
Default: incorrect
Note:
The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the failed-login prompt.
When selected, the TekTerm Server attempts to connect to the host as soon as a mobile device initializes, and it attempts to reconnect if the Telnet session closes.
Default: Selected.
The number of milliseconds between auto-Telnet connection requests sent to the host.
All requests to connect without user action are queued and are processed with this delay between requests. This prevents flooding the host with connection and logins when the TekTerm Server starts or is reset.

ANSI Function Key and Arrow Key Mappings Options Screen
Function Keys
Each of the function key text boxes contains a code that is sent to the host when the corresponding function key is pressed on the mobile device.
Each code sequence is terminated by a NULL. NULLs are not transmitted by the TekTerm Server.
Arrow Keys
Each of the arrow key text boxes contains a code that is sent to the host when the corresponding arrow key is pressed on the mobile device.
Arrow key remapping also exists on the mobile devices, but is applicable only to Telnet and SSH direct connections.
Function-key remapping and arrow-key remapping can be enabled, and operate, independently of each other.
Arrow key sequences sent from the mobile device can be switched between Application mode and Cursor Key
mode
by the DECCKM command sent by the host. The sequences are CSI?1h and CSI?1l.
TekTerm Client, on the mobile device, has a DEC Cursor Keys setting in the Keyboard Modes menu where the mode can be selected.
The default arrow key sequences (in Psion ANSI debug format) are:
In Cursor-Key Mode
Up arrow
Down arrow
Right arrow
Left arrow
7-Bit
(1b)[A
(1b)[B
(1b)[C
(1b)[D
8-Bit

(8f)C
(8f)D
These sequences are remapped by the TekTerm Server to 4 configurable sequences, each a minimum of 5 hexadecimal characters long. A null entry terminates the map-to sequence; it is not necessary to transmit nulls.
The default values for arrow key mappings are the 7-bit Cursor key Mode values. The TekTerm Server recognizes both the 7-bit and the 8-bit forms of the key sequences.
The same escape timeout applies to arrow key remapping as to function key remapping.
The cursor key mode setting in the mobile device is ignored by the TekTerm Server. If the host changes the key sequence using DECCKM, the TekTerm Server continues to remap the new key sequences: With arrow key mapping enabled, DECCKM has no net effect.
Host Configuration
The host should be configured to work with ANSI VT-100, or ANSI VT-220, terminals.

ANSI SSH Protocol Options Screen
The SSH (Secure Shell) protocol allows full negotiation of encryption, integrity, key exchange, compression, and public key algorithms and formats. All the algorithms used are well-known and well-established, with cryptographically sound key sizes.
Every SSH connection involves two authentications, which are performed via public key encryption: the client verifies the identity of the SSH server (server authentication), and the server verifies the identity of the user requesting access (user authentication). Once authentication takes place, bulk transfer of data can proceed using private key encryption. Public key encryption is used to distribute the private key to the client.
In this implementation the host is the SSH server, and the TekTerm Server behaves as the client on behalf of each mobile device.
The TekTerm Server implements OpenSSH.

ANSI Function Key and Arrow Key Mappings Options Screen
Function Keys
Each of the function key text boxes contains a code that is sent to the host when the corresponding function key is pressed on the mobile device.
Each code sequence is terminated by a NULL. NULLs are not transmitted by the TekTerm Server.
Arrow Keys
Each of the arrow key text boxes contains a code that is sent to the host when the corresponding arrow key is pressed on the mobile device.
Arrow key remapping also exists on the mobile devices, but is applicable only to Telnet and SSH direct connections.
Function-key remapping and arrow-key remapping can be enabled, and operate, independently of each other.
Arrow key sequences sent from the mobile device can be switched between Application mode and Cursor Key
mode
by the DECCKM command sent by the host. The sequences are CSI?1h and CSI?1l.
TekTerm Client, on the mobile device, has a DEC Cursor Keys setting in the Keyboard Modes menu where the mode can be selected.
The default arrow key sequences (in Psion ANSI debug format) are:
In Cursor-Key Mode
Up arrow
Down arrow
Right arrow
Left arrow
7-Bit
(1b)[A
(1b)[B
(1b)[C
(1b)[D
8-Bit

(8f)B
(8f)C
(8f)D
These sequences are remapped by the TekTerm Server to 4 configurable sequences, each a minimum of 5 hexadecimal characters long. A null entry terminates the map-to sequence; it is not necessary to transmit nulls.
The default values for arrow key mappings are the 7-bit Cursor key Mode values. The TekTerm Server recognizes both the 7-bit and the 8-bit forms of the key sequences.
The same escape timeout applies to arrow key remapping as to function key remapping.
The cursor key mode setting in the mobile device is ignored by the TekTerm Server. If the host changes the key sequence using DECCKM, the TekTerm Server continues to remap the new key sequences: With arrow key mapping enabled, DECCKM has no net effect.

Field
Passthru
2392/Telnet Host Configuration 7 - 5
Description
When selected, the TekTerm Server allows the host to send data directly to the serial port of the mobile device. This is commonly used for printing.
Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through:
On the screen to be sent through the mobile device serial port, the word
PASSTHRU
has to appear on the first line, starting in the second column. The actual data to be sent to the mobile device may start anywhere below the first line.
Attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word PASSTHRU pushes all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required attributes should occupy column
1 of the first line (just preceding the word PASSTHRU).
For example:
Enable TekTerm
Screen Formatter
Remote Print where @ is an attribute.
When the TekTerm Server finishes sending the data to the printer attached to the mobile device, it sends a packet containing only a Record Separator (0x1e) character to the host. The host must wait for this packet before sending any more screens (including other PASSTHRU screens) to the mobile device.
Refer to the user manual for the mobile device for information about setting parameters on the mobile device for pass-through.
Default: Not selected.
When selected, the TekTerm Server uses TekTerm Screen Formatter. TekTerm
Screen Formatter was previously known as TSF/0.
Default: Not selected.
When enabled, the TekTerm Server sends the print page to a mobile device whenever the mobile device requests it (by sending the F17 function key from the mobile device, or the PRINT key on older mobile devices). The TekTerm Server sends the function response back to the host.
Support for printing must be enabled on the mobile device; refer to the appropriate user manual for the mobile device for more information.
Default: Not selected.
7 - 6 TekTerm Server Software User Manual
Field
Host Print
Description
When selected, an application can send data to the display on the mobile device as well as to its attached printer.
The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into a 24 x 80 application screen. If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The TekTerm
Server identifies the additional text as a print page by the presence of the string
beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. PRINT should be defined as display-only text.
The print page is positioned below the display page of the mobile device (see the following diagram). The size of the print page is always the same as the display page of the mobile device (assuming that in the mobile device configuration, the page length is less than 12 lines).
When Host Print is enabled, the TekTerm Server passes the print page to the mobile device after receiving the application screen from the host.
Unlike with the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer.
Support for printing must be enabled on the mobile device; refer to the appropriate user manual for the mobile device for more information
Default: Not selected.
Field
Pages
Transmit Line
AIAG
2392/Telnet Host Configuration 7 - 7
Description
The number of host screens (or pages) stored on the mobile device.
The TekTerm Server maintains an image of each page stored on the mobile device. After receiving an application screen, the TekTerm Server tries to match the screen with a stored page.
If a similar page is already in the mobile device memory, the TekTerm Server instructs the mobile device to re-display its copy of the page; only the necessary changes are sent from the TekTerm Server. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the mobile device.
There is a corresponding parameter on the mobile device itself, and the actual number of saved pages is the smaller of the two values.
A value of 1 (one) disables this feature.
Values: 1 to 79
Default: 8
When enabled, all modified data on the mobile device is automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into an entry field on or above this line.
The value in this text box specifies the line on the screen which is designated as the transmit line. The last entry field on or above the transmit line on the screen is identified as the field which will cause all modified data to be sent to the host. Any entry fields that exist on lines below the transmit line will not cause the screen to be transmitted.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
A value of 24 causes the last entry field on each application screen to be defined as transmit-upon-entry.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use
AIAG mode.
When barcode data is entered on a mobile device, the mobile device searches for
AIAG fields on the current page. These fields can accept the special barcode data. The data preloaded into the AIAG field by the application program determines whether a barcode is accepted. The format of the preloaded data is:
<mode><AIAG prefix>
The application program distinguishes an entry field as AIAG by preceding the entry field with this special AIAG character.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the AIAG mode character table see AIAG Mode Values on page 7-11 .
7 - 8 TekTerm Server Software User Manual
Field
Visible Match
Character
Description
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use visible match mode.
With field matching, the host computer preloads data into an entry field. Now the mobile device operator can make an entry that matches this preloaded data. For visible match fields, the preloaded data is displayed in the entry field on the mobile device.
The application program distinguishes an entry field as a match field by preceding it with a special character.
The special character is entered as the decimal character code for one of the first
127 ASCII characters.
For example, assume that the > character (ASCII decimal character code 62) is defined for visible match fields. This character must immediately precede the entry field:
Part #>_______
The field: Part #> includes the character > and is followed by the part number entry field on the screen. If any other character was chosen as the last character of the text, the entry field would not be a match field.
The preloaded data sent to a mobile device may consist of the exact characters, special match characters or a combination of the two.
For example, suppose you wish to preload an entry field with a part number. If the exact part number is known, you may preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is required, and part numbers always begin with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen character and four digits, then the match string for the field could be: &&–####.
If an entry is different from the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the mobile device beeps and the cursor is in the first position of the match field.
Now either another entry in the match field can be made, or the cursor can be moved to a new field. When an entry (even if it does not match the host preloaded data) is made in a match field, this entry is sent to the host as part of the modified data from the mobile device during the next transmission.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this match field feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the Psion match characters see Match Characters on page 7-11 .
2392/Telnet Host Configuration 7 - 9
Field
Hidden Match
Character
Serial I/O
Print Line
Print Form Length
Barcode
Description
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use hidden match mode.
A special character is used to mark Hidden Match fields in a TESS screen. This character precedes the field contents of the Hidden Match field. In hidden match fields, as opposed to visible match fields, the preloaded entry is not displayed in the entry field on the mobile device.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
For the Psion match characters see Match Characters on page 7-11 .
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use serial
I/O mode.
Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from, and output to, a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial
I/O by preceding the field with a special character.
If this character precedes a fixed field, the data is sent to the serial port of the mobile device. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the serial port of the mobile device.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.
The starting line number of the print page on the application screen.
A value of 1 (one) causes the display page to be printed. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The printer form length, in lines.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The decimal value of the special character (ASCII) used to tag a field to use barcode only mode.
Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a barcode reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-input-only by preceding the field with a special character.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
Values: 0 to 255
Default: 0.

Field
Entry Line
Field Overhead
Command Region
Description
The number of the first line displayed if there is no entry field above this line on the screen and if an entry field is at or below this line.
The Entry Line parameter allows an automatic offset within the host screen.
Normally, Psion mobile devices only display the upper left corner of the application screen because of their smaller display size.
Values: 0 to 24
Default: 0.
The maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the TekTerm Server to join them into one field.
Sometimes the TekTerm Server will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link.
For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was 5, then these fields would be joined into one.
This feature affects fields with the Normal display attribute only.
Values: 0 to 80
Default: 5
These two pairs of text boxes define a region of the host screen which the
TekTerm Server examines for the presence of reserved commands. The first text box of each pair contains the row number; the second contains the column number.
These four numbers represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. To define the last two lines of the host screen as the command region, enter 23, 1 - 24, 80
The only commands supported in the command region are ALARM and FONT:
• When the word ALARM is placed anywhere within the command region, the
TekTerm Server sends a TESS beep command to the mobile device.
• When the word FONT is placed anywhere within the command region, and followed by a number (the font code), the TekTerm Server sends the appropriate TESS Change Font command to the mobile device.
For font codes see Font Code List for Open TekTerm on IngenuityWorking.
Font codes are only required for versions of OTT before version D.
Rows: 0 to 24

CHAPTER 10 NARROWBAND DATA PROXY
(NDP)
10
Narrowband Data Proxy (NDP) 10 - 3
Overview
These screens set up the TekTerm Server to work with mobile devices running applications that use Narrow
Band Data Proxy (NDP).
The client application that runs on the mobile device can make use of all the hardware and software features of that device. The client application uses the APIs described in the NDP (Narrow Band Data Proxy) Developers
Guide
to open and close the connection to the TekTerm Server, and to send transmissions to the TekTerm
Server.
A plugin is required on the TekTerm Server to control the flow of data between the host application and the client application. The client application on the mobile device uses the NDP APIs to communicate with this plugin. The plugin also communicates using TCP/IP with the host application. In effect, the TekTerm Server plugin relays data between the host application and the client application.
You have two options for this plugin:
• Use a standard plugin downloaded from Ingenuity Working.
• Write a custom plugin.
Sample code for plugins downloads as part of NDP. For details see the NDP (Narrow Band Data Proxy)
Developers Guide
.
You must copy the NDP plugin onto the TekTerm Server, as well as any other files that the plugin requires.

Remote Socket Emulation Host Configuration 11 - 3
Overview
The Remote Sockets Emulation enables communication between a Psion computer using a narrow band radio and a host on a TCP/IP network. Implementing remote sockets requires a Communications Server. The
TekTerm Server provides the socket connections to the TCP/IP network for applications running on a mobile device with a narrow band radio.
Each application on the mobile device makes one or more connections through the narrow band system to the network. Each connection is treated as a separate terminal on the narrow band system.
Narrow band radios are available on the following mobile devices:
• 7530 and 7530 G2
• 8525 and 8525 G2
• 8530 and 8530 G2
Remote Sockets with the Mobile Devices SDK
The Remote Sockets APIs in the Mobile Devices SDK can be used to create an application on the mobile device. This application sends commands to the TekTerm Server which acts as a socket proxy and creates a
TCP socket connection to the host. The host application manages the data connection.
• For a Windows CE .NET 4.2 mobile device use version 2.02 of the Mobile Devices SDK.
• For a Windows CE 5.0 mobile device use the latest version of the Mobile Devices SDK.

RRM Groups Configuration 13 - 3
Overview
The remote radio module (RRM) controls narrow band systems that require timeplexing. In such systems, the
TekTerm Server controls the poll timing of the radio links on the bases.
The RRMs in each group transmit, in turn, on the same frequency. The TekTerm Server coordinates the transmissions so that no RRMs transmit at the same time. This differs from base stations, where the timing of the radio transmissions is controlled only by the base stations themselves.
RRM groups and RRMs use narrow band FM radios. The performance of such groups depends critically on the interaction between the radio parameters. Psion provides a parameter-analysis utility to help you to set up the groups. This utility is described in
Analyze Screen: Analyze RRM Group Screen on page 13-6
.
Each RRM must be a member of an RRM group; there may be more than one RRM group configured on the
TekTerm Server. An RRM group may contain only one RRM, and may contain a maximum of four RRMs.
General Options Screen: Configure RRM Group Screen
This screen is used to configure a named RRM group, and to list the terminals that are included in the
RRM group.

Radio Parameters
This group of parameters sets radio parameters on the devices that make up the RRM group. These are parameters that should be set to the same values on all the mobile devices. They are configured once on the
TekTerm Server; the TekTerm Server then downloads them to the RRMs in the group.
WARNING
The radio parameters are pre-configured for your system, and should not be changed without a proper understanding of how it affects the radio link.
Field
Sync Delay
Remote Txon
Active Channel
Description
The number of delay characters inserted between the RRM transmission and the first response window.
Values: 3 to 45
Default: 28
The number of fill characters sent by the devices to their radios before the devices send message data.
Values: 3 to 60
Default: 13
The radio channel used by all the RRMs in the RRM group.
Values: 1 to 20
Default: 1
Group Parameters
These list the individual RRMs in each subgroup.
If the coverage areas of two or more of the RRMs in this RRM group do not overlap, the non-overlapping
RRMs may be assigned to the same subgroup. They then poll at the same time. This improves system response time and reduces the amount of signalling on the network.
As an example, if the RRM group has 3 RRMs, and RRMs 1 and 3 do not overlap, RRMs 1 and 3 may be placed in one subgroup. They then poll simultaneously. RRM 2 may be placed in another subgroup. Polling then alternates between the two subgroups.
To configure a subgroup, place the numbers of the RRMs in the text box for that subgroup. For instance, 13 in the text box for subgroup 1 places RRMs 1 and 3 in that subgroup. The number for each RRM is displayed beside its name on the RRM Group Menu.
RRMs, that are not assigned to subgroups, poll individually, after all of the RRMs in the subgroups poll.

Radio Link Features Configuration 14 - 3
Cellular Switching and Timeplexing
In Psion proprietary systems, there are two methods of operating on a narrow band radio link. The first method is cellular switching. Here, each base station uses a different radio channel. The devices monitor the radio link and automatically switch to the channel with best radio reception. This cellular switching capability is transparent to both the host and the device.
The second method is timeplexing. Here, a group of base stations at a site use the same radio channel. The
TekTerm Server controls the polling sequence so that the base stations do not transmit simultaneously. This timeplexing capability is also transparent to both the host and the device.
Cellular switching and timeplexing can be combined within one Psion system. A site may operate on two or more channels, with several timeplexed base stations using each channel, and cellular switching between the channels.
In all of these cases, the device may move freely throughout the site without loss of communication. The Psion system handles channel-switching and the handover between base stations.

Description
The time that a device is allowed to be inactive before the TekTerm Server declares
it offline. This time is expressed as a percentage of the Polling Protocol Terminal
Timeout . Thus, if the Timeout parameter is 60 and this parameter is 75, the TekTerm
Server declares a device offline after 45 minutes of inactivity (45 minutes is 75 percent of 60 minutes).
An offline device is still considered part of the Psion system; messages to it are queued at the TekTerm Server. In this example, the device remains offline until it notifies the TekTerm Server that it is online, or until the TekTerm Server removes it from the system entirely, after 60 minutes of inactivity.
This parameter is used in narrow band systems.
Values: 50 to 90
Default: 75
When selected, the TekTerm Server opens a listening socket on port 9999 so that
TekTerm Client can connect.
This must be enabled when redundancy is enabled.
Default: Selected.
When selected, the Communication Server checks for duplicate terminal numbers among those devices connecting by Direct TCP.
This is only needed if you are manually assigning terminal IDs. It is not needed if you are using automatic terminal number assignment.
Default: Selected.
The amount of time before automatically-assigned radio addresses, and terminal numbers, expire.
Values: 1 to 365
Default: 2
The lower and upper allowed values of radio addresses that are assigned automatically to narrow band or 802.IQ devices. This is often enabled when Remote

802.IQ Protocol
802.IQ is a Psion proprietary protocol optimized to operate on a wireless LAN. 802.IQ protocol is available in two versions: 802.IQv1 and 802.IQv2. Each mobile device must use only one of these protocols.
802.IQv1 is an efficient proprietary non-TCP/IP over-the-air protocol that eliminates the need for a TCP/IP stack on a device. Psion base stations, fitted with 802.11 radios, convert it to the protocols of the wired network.
802.IQv2 protocol is an enhanced version of the 802.IQv1 protocol that transports packets over the UDP layer.
It provides all 802.IQv1 capabilities. It also allows the mobile device to use a TCP/IP stack, and communicate with the TekTerm Server through any third-party 802.11 access point.

Redundancy Configuration 16 - 3
Overview
This feature enables two similarly-configured TekTerm Servers to operate in parallel. One TekTerm Server is active. It is the primary TekTerm Server, and it manages communication to the rest of the Psion system. The other TekTerm Server is the secondary server, and it remains idle. Both TekTerm Servers communicate with an arbiter; another node which serves as a reference on the network. There can only be one secondary TekTerm
Server.
Both TekTerm Servers must be connected to the network, and each TekTerm Server is aware of the IP address of the other. The secondary TekTerm Server polls the primary TekTerm Server, and the primary TekTerm
Server responds. They exchange information about their status.
If the secondary TekTerm Server cannot communicate with the primary TekTerm Server but can communicate with the arbiter, it assumes that the primary TekTerm Server is not working. It becomes the primary TekTerm
Server, and it assumes control of the Psion system.
When the original primary TekTerm Server comes online again, it assumes secondary status; the second
TekTerm Server continues as the primary.
If the TekTerm Servers cannot communicate with the arbiter, they assume that the network is not working.
NOTE
When control of the system is passed from one TekTerm Server to the other TekTerm Server, sessions between hosts and terminals are closed, and terminals and bases are reset.
Both TekTerm Servers must be configured identically, with the exception of their own IP addresses, and the
Backup IP Address parameter (the address of the other TekTerm Server).
IMPORTANT
The TCP Direct Connections for TekTerm parameter, on the Radio Link Features
screen, must be enabled for redundancy to work. See Radio Link Features Screen on page 14-3 .
Polling by the Secondary TekTerm Server
The secondary TekTerm Server polls the primary TekTerm Server at intervals specified by
. If there is no reply during this interval, the TekTerm Server sends another poll to the other TekTerm Server.
The total number of polls sent while this TekTerm Server waits for the other TekTerm Server to respond is specified by
If no response is received to any of the polls, this TekTerm Server then pings the arbiter. If the TekTerm Server receives a reply to the ping from the arbiter, but cannot contact the other TekTerm Server, it assumes that the other TekTerm Server is off the network, becomes the primary, and takes control of the Psion system.
If this TekTerm Server cannot reach the other TekTerm Server or the arbiter, it assumes that the network is not working, and remains in secondary mode.

Devices on the network may have more than one IP address corresponding to their network interface (and hardware address). The primary TekTerm Server presents the alias address to the network as well as its own unique IP address. The secondary TekTerm Server only presents its own unique IP address to the network.
When the secondary TekTerm Server becomes the primary, it starts to use the alias
IP address. The old primary TekTerm Server, which becomes the secondary, stops using the alias IP address.
Devices on the network which communicate directly with the Psion network TekTerm
Server IP address, such as devices using Direct TCP, may communicate with the alias IP address. They will then communicate with whichever of the two redundant
TekTerm Servers is the primary.
Values: Any valid IP address.
Default: 0.0.0.0
Note:
Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm
must be selected. See
, on Radio Link Features screen for more information.
Arbiter 1 IP Address The address of a device on the network which is known to be reliable. Both TekTerm
Servers ping this device; if they receive no reply from this device or the Arbiter 2 device, they assume that the network is not operating.
This address should be the same on both the primary and secondary
Communications Servers.
Values: Any valid IP address.
Default: 127.0.0.1
Arbiter 2 IP Address Optional. The address of a device on the network which is known to be reliable.
Both Communications Servers ping this device. If they receive no reply from both this device and the Arbiter 1 device, they assume that the network is not operating.
This address should be the same on both the primary and secondary
Communications Servers.
Values: Any valid IP address.

This screen is used to set an option for the TekTerm Server SNMP operation. Most of the SNMP options in the
TekTerm Server are set through the operating system software.
Field
Proxy throttling for non-IP terminals
Description
Enables throttling for SNMP queries and responses crossing Psion proprietary radio networks. Since these networks often use narrow band FM transmissions, their maximum data rates may not be as high as those of
802.11 networks. Some SNMP queries may result in large amounts of data crossing the RF networks. The Proxy Throttling parameter limits the rate at which such data may be sent, to prevent saturation of the RF network.

Setting Terminal Numbers on the General Host Options Screen 19 - 3
Introduction
The terminal range settings on the Host General Options screens define the terminals which are associated with each host session.
The Host General Options screen maps sessions on the host to terminal numbers on the TekTerm Server. A range of n terminals in the Host General Options matches the lower number in the range to the first session defined on this host and the higher number in the range to the nth session defined on this host.
When the Terminal Range starts at 1, the host session number is identical to the TekTerm Server terminal number—the offset is zero.
When the Terminal Range starts with a number other than 1, an offset is created (equal to the lower number minus 1). For instance, the range 10 to 20 implies an offset of 9. This means that the first session on the host is TekTerm Server terminal 10.
The numbering scheme described in this section works for all host types; however, some host applications ignore the mapping.
Telnet connections may, or may not, have sessions directly associated with client terminal IDs. There are some cases where 5250, or 3274, host sessions are directly related to a terminal ID, such as when device naming is used.
The examples in this section demonstrate the effect of such offsets.
Systems with One Host
If the TekTerm Server is configured for one host (named Host1), with one base (named Base 1), and 20 terminals; the host session numbers are identical to the TekTerm Server terminal numbers.
Settings are as follows:
In the Host General Options for Host1:
Terminal Range = 1 to 20
In the Base Station General Options for Base1:
First Terminal = 1
19 - 4 TekTerm Server Software User Manual
Systems with Multiple Hosts
Terminal number mapping is useful when the TekTerm Server is configured for multiple hosts, and there is a need to differentiate between terminals that communicate with one host and those that communicate with another.
The ranges defined for the hosts can either overlap or be mutually exclusive.
Two Hosts with No Overlapping Terminal Numbers
Figure 19-1
Host1
Figure 19-2
Host2
Settings are as follows:
In the Host General Options for Host1:
Terminal Range = 1 to 9
In the Host General Options for Host2:
Terminal Range = 10 to 20
In the Base Station General Options for Base1:
First Terminal = 1
Setting Terminal Numbers on the General Host Options Screen 19 - 5
In this example, no physical terminals fall within the ranges of both Host1 and Host2. Thus, no terminal can communicate with both hosts.
Terminals 1 to 9:
Communicate with Host1. Terminal 1 is mapped to Host1 session 1. Terminal 9 is mapped to Host1 session 9.
Terminals 10 to 20:
Communicate with Host2. Terminal 10 is mapped to Host2 session 1. Terminal 20 is mapped to Host2 session 11. As an example, Terminal 13 is the Host2 session 4.
Two Hosts with Overlap in Terminal Numbers
IMPORTANT
You cannot overlap an ANSI host with another ANSI host or any other type of host.
Settings are as follows:
In the Host General Options for Host1:
Terminal Range = 1 to 20
In the Host General Options for Host2:
Terminal Range = 10 to 20
In the Base Station General Options for Base 1:
First Terminal = 1
Terminals 1 to 9:
Communicate with Host1 only.
Terminals 10 to 20:
Can communicate with Host1 and Host2. Terminal 10 is mapped to Host2 session 1.
Terminal 20 is mapped to Host2 session 11. When the terminals connect with the TekTerm Server, they are given the choice of hosts with which to communicate. For instance, terminal 13 corresponds to session 13 on
Host1
and to session 4 on Host2 and is given that choice of hosts.
