Configuring the 2461 From the Host
You can use an application on the host computer to configure one 2461 terminal. For
example, you may want to change the Beep Volume command.
To send and receive configuration data or files, you need to write an application for the
host that can communicate with the DCS 300 in a UDP Plus network or directly in a
TCP/IP direct connect network.
UDP Plus is an Intermec value-added protocol. TCP/IP is an industry standard protocol.
For help, see “About Network Connectivity and Protocols” later in this chapter.
Configuring the 2461 in a UDP Plus Network
To send and receive configuration data, you need to write an application for the host
that can communicate with the DCS 300. For help, see the DCS 300 Technical
Reference Manual (Part No. 067717). You use the Terminal Message Format (TMF)
protocol to send and receive transactions between the host application and the terminal.
Note: You can continue running an application on the 2461 while configuring the
terminal.
