Programming languages that can interface with the Active X tool include
VB, C++, Delphi, Access, FoxPro, etc.
If the Application Server receives any of:
1. 5 Addressing a Terminal not
SIGNed ON
messages in a row or
2. 5 Sequence Errors in a row, or
3. 5 illegal commands in a row,
the Server transmits the following message to the Terminal and shuts down:
Server Shut Down
Due to Host Logic
Error
Check your program to correct these errors before starting again. The host
application program will have to restart and you will have to cycle power on
the Terminal and
SIGN ON
again in order to continue.
Network Setup
•
The network settings on the server must support TCP/IP
communications.
•
It is critical that the Terminal(s) and Server are "visible" to each other
across your network. Both must have an IP address in the same
subnet. Both the Server and the Terminal Device(s) can either have a
static address or use an assigned IP address via a DHCP server or
equivalent. Refer to your Windows networking administration utility
in the Control Panel to configure computer IP address settings.
•
WD802Term
uses port 54140
•
You can link server and terminal through a dial-up or DSL internet
link as long as the server has a static IP address and your router
passes the above port.
•
If you are unsure of how to set up your IP configuration properly,
refer to your network administrator for help.
Server Communications
•
Run the 802 Test Program on the server computer. Now go to an 802
RF Terminal and attempt to SIGN IN to the 802 Test Program. If the
terminal connects and responds with a prompt “Enter Data”, you are
configured properly. Go to the server computer, shut down the 802
Test Program and begin work on your
WD802Term
server
application.
•
Before making any
WD802term
method calls in your application,
make sure to turn the Server on by calling
WD802Term.InitializeServer
WD802Term.ServerActive = True
