ON-LINE DEMONSTRATION SESSION (“DEMO” SERVICE)
All WaveNet terminals, including the 5000, have a “built in” demonstration session. This session
allows interactive communications to a 7000 Base Controller task which acts as a “host computer” -
creating terminal screens and “dummy” data, as well as accepting data inputted into these various
screens via keyboard, bar code scanner, or AEI scanner methods.
Configuration
Utilizing the “Demo” Service enables the On-Line Demonstration session. The following steps will
configure the Demo service at the WaveNet Terminal:
1) Start a new session by using an existing session and copying a new session by selecting
Setup\Communication\Session\Copy. Enter “Demo” as the title when prompted.
2) Locate the new “Demo” session by successive 2
nd
-TAB keystrokes, and the status line session
name (if the status line is not visible, press 2
nd
twice in a row quickly).
3) Set the emulation to “WaveNet” in Setup\Emulation
4) Set the Host ID equal to the Host ID of the 7000 Base Controller you wish to communicate to
via the radio data link.
5) Set the byte size to 8-bits by ensuring Setup\Communication\8 Bit equals “Yes”.
6) Select the “Demo” service in Setup\Communication\Service
7) Set Page Caching to 16 in Setup\Display
8) Ensure the character set is set to either “ASCII”, “Chinese” or “Korean”. Note that the Demo
will allow demonstration of Chinese or Korea character sets (keyed by login password), but
only if the appropriate character sets have been installed in the terminal.
9) Select an appropriate font to use in Setup\Display\Font. The 6x12 Font is recommended, but
other fonts, including the appropriate Chinese or Korean fonts can be selected.
10) Ensure the Screen size is set to Rows=12 and Columns=40.
After the following configuration is performed, the WaveNet Terminal must be “hard” reset.
Upon power up, the session will show a logon screen in the LCD display with the banner WaveNet, a
Name field, a Password field, and a prompt of “Enter information to Logon”.
If this does not occur, the most common errors to check are :
1) Is the 7000 Base Controller powered up?
2) Is the 7000 Base Controller and WaveNet Terminal both operating on the same RF Channel?
3) Is the WaveNet Terminal set to the proper Host ID?
