Using INTERLNK and INTERSVR
INTERLNK interconnects a PEN*KEY 6000 Series Computer and a PC through
serial ports. INTERSVR is the INTERLNK server, a communication option in
the Norand Utilities program.
For detailed information for installing INTERLNK, refer to the
Development
Resources
paragraph in Section 1. For more details of INTERLNK and
INTERSVR topics, refer to the DOS online help.
Norand Utilities
The Norand Utilities in flash memory provides the basic functions required to
prepare the 6000 Series Computer for use. Refer to the
Norand Utilities
paragraph in Section 1 for information about Initial Program Load (IPL) using
Norand Utilities.
The following paragraphs describe how an application can use the
communications facilities of the Norand Utilities to perform data
communications.
PSROM0C.EXE is the primary program module that supports data
communications between a PEN*KEY 6000 Series HandĆHeld Computer (HHC)
and a host computer. It supports the NORAND twoĆway TTY, NORAND
Portable Communications Protocol (NPCP) (Local Area Network), and NRInet
protocols.
PSROB0C.EXE is not called directly from other applications. It is used by
PSROM0C.EXE to rotate the display of the 6300 Computer and to free up
memory so that network drivers can be loaded.
System Setup Requirements
To use PSROM0C.EXE, the file NRTCMERR.TBL must exist in the current
working directory or in the PATH.
When using PSROM0C.EXE Ver. 2.00 or later, if the application uses CardSoft
device drivers to access PC Cards, it must reassign the drive letters A: and B:.
For example:
ASSIGN.COM A:=E: B:=F:
On a PEN*KEY 63xx Computer, PSROM0C.EXE remaps the keys
[Gold-1]
through
[Gold-4]
to be
[F1]
through
[F4]
keys. The application must remap
these keys, if necessary, after executing PSROM0C.EXE.
