Host Server List
The Connection Settings determine how the M71V2 Handheld terminal will
communicate to a host server over the RF network. When the M71V2 Handheld terminal
first powers up, it tries to establish a connection to an RF network. If this is successful, it
will then start a Telnet session using the settings described in this section.
During this start-up process, the M71V2 will look to see if multiple host servers have
been defined in the Host Server List. If only one server is defined, the M71V2 will
proceed to attempt to establish a connection with that server. However, if more than one
host server has been defined, the user will be prompted to choose a host server name
from a list of servers.
Simultaneous Hosts Connection
The M71V2 will allow for two simultaneous telnet sessions. These sessions are running
in the background on separate virtual consoles (see Switching Virtual Consoles in the
previous chapter). In order to use this feature there must be two and ONLY two servers
listed in the Host Server List.
When the operator is presented the list of hosts to connect to, there will be an extra option
of connecting to both. If only one host is selected, then only one connection is made. If
the “Connect to Both” option is selected then both sessions will be active.
