Multiple Hosts
If multiple host have been defined, and a user wishes to select a different host, then the
user would hit the Menu key then Reconnect and the host list will be re-displayed. The
user should then simply select the host they wish to connect to.
When more than two hosts are defined, the
“Connect to Both” option is not available.
When defining hosts servers, names can be any combination of letters and numbers, up to
15 characters long. The Port setting determines which network port the M71V2 handheld
terminal will try to connect to. The default setting is Port 23 but some network systems
require this to be changed.
The “More Host 1 Options” function allows the user to input special log-in data. For
more details on this function see the description in the next section.
You can assign up to 8 different host profiles in the M71V2. By using the arrow keys you
can scroll down to enter the information about additional hosts.
If the AML CommandLink™ RF software is being used with your network, then the IP
address of the CommandLink™ RF server must be supplied. This is the IP address of the
computer where the CommandLink™ Communicator is running.
The M71V2 Handheld terminal has optional Terminal Emulation software available that
enables it to communicate directly with most host systems including IBM mainframe
(TN3270) and IBM AS400 (TN5250) systems. This software has many more features
than described in this manual.
