Text Conventions Introduction 1.2 Text Conventions Note: Notes highlight additional helpful information. Important:

These statements provide particularly important instructions or additional information that is critical to the operation of the computer and other equipment. Warning:

These statements provide important information that may prevent injury, damage to the equipment, or loss of data. 1.3 About The 9150 The 9150 Wireless Gateway is designed to support a wide variety of system config-

urations. Using the IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN Standard, the 9150 is capable of operating as a transparent bridge (access point) between wireless and wired networks. This allows wireless clients to access the network and also move seamlessly between the 9150s in the network. The 9150 can also operate as a Teklogix base station, remote radio module (RRM) or a mini-controller, and become part of a mapRF system. Because the 9150 provides Ethernet connectivity, it can be added to an existing LAN. The 9150T provides the high-performance of 100Mb/s Fast Ethernet LANs, as well as 10Mb/s. The 9150DC edition incorporates most of the features of the high-performance 9150T, but is DC-powered, eliminating the need for AC wiring. For detailed information on LAN connectivity, please refer to page 19. The 9150 supports Type II PCMCIA cards so that multiple radio interfaces are pos-

sible. The 9150 also has dual-radio functionality. It can support several combina-

tions of radio types to function as both a mini-controller and base station, access point and base station, or access point and mini-controller. For details, see Radio Options on page 7. The 9150 Flash memory holds the boot code, configuration parameters and firm-

ware. The 9150 Configuration program allows various parameter settings to be changed, added or deleted. The Flash can be reconfigured remotely via the network using a standard HTML Web Browser such as Netscape or MS Internet Explorer

(for instructions, see Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration). 4 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 1:

Access Point Functions Introduction 1.3.1 Access Point Functions As an access point connected to a wired network, the 9150 Wireless Gateway forms a communication link between Teklogix RF terminals or wireless access point clients and a Teklogix Network Controller or a host computer. It communicates over an IEEE 802.11b RF data link with terminals, and over a cable with the network controller or a host computer. The 9150 can be connected to the network through an Ethernet connection. The diagram in Figure 4.1 on page 61 illustrates a 9150 access point connection between a Teklogix 9400 Network Controller on Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 wireless devices. Two 9150 Wireless Gateways can be used as an 802.11b bridge connecting two sep-

arate wired networks. Another feature is that the 9150 can be used as an 802.11b wireless access point to extend coverage area or for locations difficult to wire (see Figure 1.4 on page 10). For information on the 9150 as an access point, see IEEE 802.11b Protocol on page 8 and Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration. 1.3.2 Base Station Functions As a base station or Remote Radio Module (RRM) connected to a wired network, the 9150 provides a link between the local area network and the wireless network consisting of Teklogix mobile terminals, and wireless base stations such as the 9150 Wireless Gateway. The 9150 and 9400 Network Controller (or host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit) communicate using the 9010 proprietary protocol with TCP/IP over Ethernet connectivity. Wlan protocol enables the wired 9150 to com-

municate with 9150s without cable attachments (see Figure 5.1 on page 100). For information on configuring the 9150 as a base station or RRM, see Chapter 5:

Base Station Configuration. For Wlan, see Wlan Protocol on page 11. 1.3.3 Mini-Controller Functions The 9150 is equipped with some emulation capabilities, allowing it to act as a mini-

controller. When a 9150 is configured as a mini-controller, Teklogix terminals can emulate an ANSI, 5250 or 3274 terminal via a 9150 rather than through a 9400 Network Controller. To configure the 9150 as a mini-controller, see Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Config-

uration. For a generalized system diagram, see Figure 6.1 on page 142. 6 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 1:

Introduction Radio Options 1.4 Radio Options The 9150 supports 802.11b WLAN CF card USI radio Model CF-B-AG-02. 1.5 Radio Protocols RF protocols allow terminals to communicate with a base station by sharing the use of a radio channel in an efficient way. Teklogix systems use one of three types of RF protocols: the Teklogix Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol, the Teklogix Wireless LAN (Wlan) protocol, or the non-proprietary IEEE 802.11b protocol. When used as a base station, the 9150 uses either the Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol or the Wlan protocol. These protocols cannot be mixed on a single system. When used as an access point device, the 9150 employs the IEEE 802.11b protocol. The protocols are described in the following sections. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 7 Chapter 1:

Introduction IEEE 802.11b Protocol 1.5.1 IEEE 802.11b Protocol The IEEE 802.11b protocol is an OSI standard for Wireless Local Area Networks

(WLANs). With this standard, any IEEE 802.11b radio can communicate with any other similarly-equipped device. However, IEEE 802.11b does not provide a stan-

dard for a total WLAN system. IEEE 802.11b solely standardizes two communica-

tions layers: Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC). Three different PHY layer media are covered: 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum radio, 2.4 GHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radio, and infrared. Each station in a WLAN system has its own unique MAC address. Important: Equipment using one physical medium (e.g. Frequency Hopping versus Direct Sequence) will not interoperate with equipment using a different physical medium. IEEE 802.11b uses 2.4 GHz radios of relatively low power. The range is limited to no more than a hundred feet or so, depending on the conditions, and is usually restricted to line of sight operation. Therefore, most wireless networks need more than one coverage area, with terminals moving between the areas. To integrate those areas, systems using IEEE 802.11b protocol for their wireless networks require an IEEE 802.11b-equipped bridge device (or access point), such as the 9150 Wireless Gateway. Using bridging software, the 9150 Wireless Gateway enables communication between any wireless IEEE 802.11b-equipped stations and LAN stations operating on Ethernet. The 9150 itself is resident on the LAN and functions as a MAC bridge, providing transparent integration between the stations on the wireless and wired networks. Each terminal is associated with one 9150. A frame from an RF terminal is sent to the 9150 that the terminal is associated with. The terminal puts a destination MAC address in the frame, which specifies a hardware address on the wired LAN side. Because the receiving 9150 is connected to an Ethernet network, it encapsulates the data in an Ethernet frame, including the destination MAC address specified by the terminal. The 9150 then sends the frame onto the physical network; the frame is picked up by whichever device is at the destination hardware address. When sending frames from the LAN side, the sending device puts the MAC address of the terminal in the frame header. Whichever 9150 has that terminal associated with it, takes the frame and passes it over the RF to the terminal. By passing frames in this way, the 9150 is acting as a MAC bridge. 8 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 1:

Introduction IEEE 802.11b Protocol Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) 1.5.1.1 The Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is an extension to the IEEE 802.11b proto-

col. IAPP facilitates roaming of mobile stations across different Basic Service Sets

(see Note below) and specifies how access points communicate with each other. Note: A Basic Service Set (BSS) is a set of stations (terminals) controlled by a single coordination function, in this case by the 9150 Wireless Gateway functioning as an access point within the terminals radio coverage area. In a multiple-9150 system, IAPP informs the other 9150 Wireless Gateways when a new 9150 becomes active, and enables the awareness of the 9150s of each other. With IAPP, an IEEE 802.11b system can operate on one or more channels, with terminals moving between the 9150s. Although each terminal is associated with one 9150, it can re-associate with another 9150 to maintain uninterrupted communica-

tions. The newly-associated 9150 will receive the terminals data frames and pass them onto the LAN. Returning frames are no longer accepted by the original 9150, which has disassociated from that terminal. The returning frames are now accepted by the newly-associated 9150 and passed over the RF to the terminal. Psion Teklogix 802.IQ Protocol 1.5.1.2 802.IQ is a Psion Teklogix proprietary optimized protocol that enables terminals to operate on a wireless LAN in a network that supports both TCP/IP and 802.IQ pro-

tocol simultaneously. 802.IQ protocol is available in two versions: 802.IQv1 and 802.IQv2. The 9150 can support both versions of the protocol at the same time (ter-

minals must use only one). 802.IQv1 protocol is a wireless LAN routing scheme that provides greater perfor-

mance in an 802.11b wireless network than is possible with TCP/IP routing. The 9150 bridges the 802.IQv1 wireless and TCP/IP wired networks. A terminal can communicate with the 9150 access point using either TCP/IP or 802.IQv1 protocol, which makes possible a system with dual-operability. 802.IQv2 protocol is an enhanced version of the 802.IQv1 protocol that transports packets over the UDP layer. It provides all the 802.IQv1 functionality, with the added features of software upgrade capability over RF, the ability to add third-party access points between controllers and terminals, and integration into the mapRF system if desired. For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as an 802.IQv1 access point, see 802.IQ Version 1 Configuration Menu on page 64. For information on configuring the 9150 as an 802.IQv2 mini-controller, see 802.IQ V2 Features Menu on page 192. Please see Figure 1.4 on page 10 for a generalized system diagram.

Wlan Protocol Introduction Only one base station or terminal may transmit at one time. When the channel is clear, a combination of preset priorities and random choices determines who goes next. Even if two transmitters attempt to send at the same time, message acknowledgements and retransmissions prevent any data from being lost. Terminals moving through the Wlan communicate with the base stations that provide the best communication path to a wired base station. If multiple channels are used, the terminal looks for a better channel only if it cannot find an acceptable path back on its current channel. For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a base station, please see Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration. For a generalized system diagram, see Figure 1.5.

Installation Requirements Choosing The Right Location The 9150 must be installed by qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. Warning:

2.1 Choosing The Right Location Typically, Psion Teklogix conducts a site survey in the plant and then recommends the preferred locations for the 9150s. These locations provide good radio coverage, minimize the distance to the host computer or network controller, and meet the environmental requirements. 9150 Wireless Gateway 2.1.1 Environment 2.1.1.1 The 9150 should be located in a well-ventilated area and should be protected from extreme temperature fluctuations (i.e. direct heater output, shipping doors or direct sunlight). If a protective cover is required, it must have enough ventilation to maintain the 9150s surface at or near room temperature. Refer to Chapter 8: Specifications for a more detailed description of environmen-

tal requirements. Keep in mind that the long term stability of this equipment will be enhanced if the environmental conditions are less severe than those listed in this manual. The 9150 should be situated away from the path of vehicles and free from water or dust spray. The 9150 should only be mounted in the upright position, as shown in Figure 2.1 on page 16. This orientation minimizes the risk of water entering the 9150, should the unit accidentally be sprayed. The 9150 is attached to a vertical surface using four fasteners on the rear plate (type of fasteners are dependent on mounting surface). The top two holes in the rear plate are slots, allowing the unit to be hung in position before the remaining bolts are installed, thus easing installation. The bolts used for installation are SAE 1/4-20. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 15 Chapter 2:

For detailed information on the 9100, please refer to page 22. 2.1.2 Maintenance The 9150 has no internal option switches and does not require physical access; all configuration settings are done remotely (see Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configura-

tion). Environmental and radio communication considerations do still apply. 16 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 2:

Installation Requirements Power And Antenna Cables Power 2.1.3 Power And Antenna Cables 2.1.3.1 To prevent accidental disconnection and stress on the 9150, antenna and power cables should be secured within 30 cm of the unit. Secure the cables with ties to the cable tie mounts on the 9150 (see Figur e2.1 on page 16). A single phase power outlet (range 100 to 240 VAC rated 1.0A minimum) should be installed within one metre (3.1 feet) of the 9150. The 9150 automatically adjusts to input within that power range. The power cable is removable and is available in the power type spe-

cific to your location. To eliminate the need for AC wiring, the 9150DC Wireless Gateway is powered over its Ethernet connection. For detailed information, please see page 20. Warning:

To avoid electric shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must always be connected to ground. Antennas 2.1.3.2 Warning: This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Warning:

Equipment requires professional installation of antennas. The maximum output power from the radio transmitter is 36 mW Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 17 Chapter 2:

Power And Antenna Cables Installation Requirements Warning:

Never operate the 9150 without a suitable antenna or a dummy load. Connection to Outdoor Antenna: Outdoor antenna to be earthed in accordance with International Standard EN 50083-1 (1993), Cabled Distribution Systems for Television and Sound Signals -

Safety Requirements. The antenna must be installed by a qualified service person and installed according to local electrical installation codes. The antenna should be located such that it is always at least 15 ft (4.6 m) high and 10 ft (3 m) from the user and other people working in the area. Warning:

For RF safety considerations, users are not allowed to approach close to the antenna. Psion Teklogix supplies the coaxial cable required to connect the 9150 to the antenna. When determining the location of the antenna, the coverage requirements of the antenna are considered in conjunction with the environmental requirements of the 9150. The coaxial cable must be routed and secured using wire anchors and/or coaxial nail clips. A few extra inches of cable are required near the antenna and the 9150 to make disconnection easier. 18 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 2:

Installation Requirements Connecting To External Devices 2.2 Connecting To External Devices This section contains general guidelines for connecting the 9150 to external devices such as network controllers, base stations, host computers, PCs and video display terminals. 2.2.1 Ports Figure 2.2 below shows the locations of the port and power connectors on the base of the 9150T [100BaseT Ethernet]; for the 9150DC, see Figure 2.3 on page 21).

*Note: The location of the LEDs is the same on the 9150DC (see Figu re2.3 on page 21). 2.2.2 LAN Installation: Overview Because the 9150 provides Ethernet connectivity, it can be added to an existing LAN. Generally, LAN installations are handled with the help of the network administrators, as they are familiar with their network and its configuration. Once the 9150 is installed, connected and powered on, the system administrator can access the unit to check the configuration and to assign the 9150 its unique IP address. This may be done through the Console port or through the network (see Connecting Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 19 Chapter 2:

LAN Installation: Ethernet Installation Requirements A Video Display Terminal on page 26 and Changing The Configuration With A Web Browser on page 26). Subsequent changes in the network, such as the addition of stations or users, would also require that the 9150 configuration be changed. Important: Once the 9150 is configured and rebooted the first time, the DHCP or Bootp option should be disabledunless the 9150 obtains its IP address from a server, or the system administrator intends to update the software through bootp. For detailed information, see Network Interface Configuration Protocol on page 52. 2.2.3 LAN Installation: Ethernet 2.2.3.1 The 9150T is a high-performance controller that supports 100Mb/s Fast Ethernet LANs, as well as 10Mb/s, with both full and half duplex operation. It comes equipped with:

9150T Wireless Gateway 10BaseT/100BaseT card (using a category-5 twisted pair cable, an RJ-45 connector, running at a rate of 10 or 100Mb/s). Note: The 9150T does not support any connection type other than Ethernet 10BaseT and 100BaseT. See Figure 2.2 on page 19 for the connector locations. Since these ports are auto-

selecting, jumper or configuration settings are not required. The maximum packet size supported over the network is 1500 bytes. This parameter is not set at the 9150, but should be set at the host. For a description of port pinouts, please refer to Appen-

dix B: Port Pinouts And Cable Diagrams. 9150DC Wireless Gateway 2.2.3.2 The 9150DC incorporates most of the features of the 9150T. However, while the 9150T is AC-powered, the 9150DC Wireless Gateway is DC-powered, eliminating the need for AC wiring. The 9150DC is powered through a Category 5 ethernet cable that carries power and data signals simultaneously. The 9150DC is connected to the 9100 PowerBaseT, a remote power module that inserts 48VDC power on the spare conductors of the ethernet cable to the 9150DC

(for detailed information on the 9100, see page 22; for a system diagram, see 20 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual

Chapter 2:

Installation Requirements LAN Installation: Ethernet Figure 2.5 on page 23). Inside the 9150DC, a DC/DC converter is used to step down the +48 V provided by the 9100 to the +5 V required to power up the main compo-

nents of the gateway. The 9150DC may also be powered via the Auxiliary Supply (48 VDC) power jack, which is adjacent to the ethernet RJ-45 connector (see Figure 2.3). For a description of RJ-45 port pinouts, refer to Appendix B: Port Pinouts And Cable Diagrams.

The 9150DC supports dual 802.11 radios, but does not support Narrow Band or TekLAN 902 MHz radios. Ethernet Cabling 2.2.3.3 The maximum cable segment length allowed between repeaters for both the 9150T and 9150DC (10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet cabling) is 100 m. Note: For the 9150DC (see Important note on page 22), this cable length is measured from hub to 9150, including mid-span insertion of the 9100 PowerBaseT. Important: For Main Logic Board (MLB) P/N 30183-301 Rev F only: When connecting the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the 9150T (AC power ver-

sion), ensure that the snap-on ferrite for cables (P/N 97776) is placed on the cable as closely as possible to the RJ-45 jack. To determine which version of the MLB is resident in your 9150, please contact Psion Teklogix Support Services (see page A-1). Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 21 Chapter 2:

LAN Installation: Ethernet Installation Requirements 9100 PowerBaseT Mid-Span Power Supply 2.2.3.4 Overview The 9100 PowerBaseT module is designed to provide power over Ethernet and may be referred to as a mid-span power supply in that it intercepts the Ethernet cables between a hub/switch and the DC-powered 9150DC, as illustrated in Figur e2.5 on page 23. The 9100 has an internal, universal AC/48VDC power supply and routes DC power to each of its independent Data + 48V output Ports, following successful detection of a suitable powered device (a 9150DC). The Resistor Detection method is employed for this purpose, following application of power to the 9100, or connec-

tion of a powered device to a powered-on Port. The 9100 determines whether each connected device needs to be powered or not by determining if there is a signature resistor in the powered device between the 4/5 and 7/8 spare wire pairs. Subse-

quent disconnection of such a device is also detected. There are four identical, inde-

pendent resistor/transistor networks, one for each output port. 48VDC is supplied via the unused pairs of a standard Ethernet Category 5 cable, while the Ethernet data lines (4 of the 8 conductors in the cable) are passed through the 9100 to the 9150DC. The 9150DC can accept power via either the unused pairs, or via the data pairs of a 10/100BaseT system connected to a suitable Power Over Ethernet switch/hub. Important:

The 9100 does not contain any transceivers (the data signals are passed through) and is therefore subject to the 100 m cable length limitation (including the cable from the hub/switch to the 9100 PowerBaseT and any subsequent length added to the 9150DC). The 9100 PowerBaseT provides power for up to four 9150DCs (13 Watts per channel maximum), connected by twisted pair cables up to 100 m in length. See page 206 for power specifications. 19" Rack Mount RJ-45 Ports include LEDs for Powered Lines Figure 2.4 The 9100 PowerBaseT Console Port 22 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 2:

Note: To ensure that the 9150 configuration screens appear properly when using Netscape Navigator, in your browser go to Edit/Preferences/

Appearance/Colors. Make sure that the box for Always use my colors, overriding document is NOT checked. The 9150 Configuration program allows various configuration parameter settings to be changed, added or deleted. Important:

The 9150 must be warm rebooted after parameter changes are made, including configuring the IP address (see below), in order for the changes to take effect. For details, see Reboot Unit on page 58. 3.2 Configuring The IP Address Before the configuration menus can be accessed using your Web Browser, the 9150 must be assigned an IP address using a PC console connection. Virtually any PC can be connected to the console port of the 9150, provided that the PC has a terminal communication program such as the Windows HyperTerminal utility or Procomm Plus for Windows. These programs emulate an ANSI terminal such as VT220 or higher. Cable no. 19387 should be used to connect the PC to the 9150. Make sure the communications settings on your PC are set to 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity, and that the baud rate of the serial port matches that of the 9150 console port

(19,200 baud). After the PC is attached and turned on, press the <RETURN> key several times until the > prompt appears. The commands used to configure IP addresses are described here. For the command to flash upgrade the 9150 software using TFTP, please refer to page 53. If your system uses a DHCP or BOOTP server to assign IP addresses, make sure that the appropriate option is enabled (see Network Interface Configuration Protocol on page 52). Once enabled, and the 9150 is rebooted, you will be able to access the 9150 configuration menus through the Web Browser, using the IP address identified Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 29 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Configuring The IP Address in the server's address table. If you do not use a server, make sure that the DHCP or BOOTP option is disabled and continue with the configuration commands to manu-

ally assign an IP address. Important: When your configuration is completed, the changes should be saved to flash by entering the following command (commands are case-sensitive):

Figure 3.2 Overview Of General Configuration Menus Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 33 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Interfaces 3.4.1 Interfaces The pull-down menu shown for the Interfaces option indicates which interfaces have been detected in use by the 9150. 10BaseT Ethernet 3.4.1.1 For the selection 10BaseT Ethernet, entering the Configure dialog box will open the Onboard Ethernet Parameters page for that Ethernet connection, which shows the 9150s physical (hardware) address and IP address parameters. Physical Address A unique Physical Address is assigned by Psion Teklogix personnel for each 9150. The values entered for this parameter are presented in hexadecimal in descending order beginning with the MSB (Most Significant Byte), the highest value, and ending with the LSB (Least Significant Byte), the lowest value. The allowable value for each field ranges from 00 to FF. Warning:

It is not advisable to modify the Physical Address. However, if these values are changed, the Network Administrator must assign a unique address to each Ethernet station on the network, including all 9150s. 34 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Interfaces IP Parameters Each 9150 that is connected to a local network has a unique IP address designated for it. The 10BaseT Ethernet IP Parameters used to assign the IP address are accessed by entering the Configure dialog box. IP Address The Current IP Address shown in the read-only field is the IP address currently set on the 9150. The Default IP Address text box allows you to change the value of the IP address. The IP address must be a unique value on the network, so that each 9150 in your system can be identified. The acceptable value ranges from 0.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Note: The value 255.255.255.255 is reserved for the broadcast address. Subnet Mask The Current Subnet Mask shown in the read-only field is the subnet mask currently set on the 9150. The Default Subnet Mask text box allows you to change the value of the subnet mask. The 9150 uses the Subnet Mask, its own IP address, and the destination IP address to determine if a packet should be sent on the local network or to a remote segment. If the destination is found on the local network, the packet is sent directly to its desti-

nation. If the destination resides on a remote network, the packet is routed to the gateway. Enter your subnet mask in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx notation. Important:

The maximum packet size supported is 1500 bytes. This parameter is not set at the 9150, but should be set at the host. The acceptable values range from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.

New individuals and their passwords can be added by selecting [#] Create New in the listbox before entering the Configure dialog box. Name The name should be comprised of alphanumeric characters only, is case-sensitive, and should not contain spaces. The minimum length of the name is 4 characters, the maximum length is 32 characters. The default value is user. Password The password should be comprised of alphanumeric characters only, is case-

sensitive, and should not contain spaces. The minimum length of the password is 6 characters, the maximum length is 32 characters. The default value is 123456. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 39 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration SNMP Individual names and their assigned passwords may be changed or deleted in the Configure dialog box for this option by selecting the name in the listbox and then opening the Configure dialog box. 3.4.3 SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the protocol that governs network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions, including those in mapRF systems. mapRF 3.4.3.1 The 9150 is fully compatible with mapRF management software. For complete details on mapRF, please refer to the mapRF User Guide. When participating in a mapRF system, manual configuration of the 9150 is minimal. The following param-

eters must be correctly configured:

10BaseT Ethernet on page 34 and 100BaseT Ethernet on page 36. The IP address, default gateway and subnet mask must be correctly configured for mapRF, either directly in the web pages or dynamically through DHCP/Bootp (see Network Interface Configuration Protocol on page 52). SNMP must be enabled (see page 42). Some parameters may need to be configured, depending on your firmware version. These are listed below. To determine whether the firmware version in your 9150 already supports these parameters through SNMP, please contact Psion Teklogix Support Services (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices ). Serial Ports Parameters on page 55. Mobile IP Configuration on page 93. TekLAN Parameters on page 102. Narrow Band Radio Parameters on page 106.

Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration SNMP The SNMP Configure page, entered from the Configuration Main Menu page, allows various network management parameters to be set or changed. System Parameters 3.4.3.2 Name, Contact, Location The entries in these parameters set the name, contact and location identifiers for this specific 9150 Wireless Gateway. The entries should be of 7-bit, US-ASCII character type and not more than 78 characters. The name and location are then shown as the sub-heading of each Configuration page. In the following example the identifier appears as Unit 12 [Warehouse A: Pillar 32B]. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 41 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration SNMP Enabled When this parameter is enabled (), the 9150 will respond to SNMP inquiries and provide SNMP information. For the 9150 to operate with mapRF, the checkbox must be enabled. The default setting is enabled. 3.4.3.3 Enable Proxy for non-IP terminals When this parameter is enabled (), the 9150 acts as the proxy with the mapRF manager, for terminals without IP addresses. This option should be used only when the 9150 is acting as the Cellular Master (mini-controller). 3.4.3.4 To ensure that increased radio traffic due to the 9150 acting as proxy does not create a problem, the amount of traffic can be controlled by setting it to 100, 500, or 1000 bytes per second. The default is Disabled. Proxy throttling SNMP Communities and Trap Receivers 3.4.3.5 These parameter settings allow the network administrator to define the network environment and determine the type of access allowed (read_only or read_write) for each area name and IP address. The Name entries should be of 7-bit, US-ASCII character type and not more than 255 characters. The trapDest IP addresses deter-

mine which SNMP managers stations will receive SNMP Traps from the 9150. 42 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Redundancy The 9150 sends the Cold Start Trap on reboot or power up. Important: Any parameters that are changed in the SNMP Communities and Trap Receivers menu must also be changed in the mapRF manager. 3.4.4 Redundancy The Redundancy Parameters Configure page, entered from the Configuration Main Menu page, allows the user to set various options for the redundant (backup) operation of the 9150. This feature enables two similarly-configured 9150s to operate in parallel. One 9150 is designated as the primary 9150, and manages communication to the rest of the Teklogix system. The other 9150 is designated as the secondary 9150, and remains idle. Both 9150s communicate with one or two arbiters, an extremely stable device on the network, such as a host, which serves as a reference for the status of the network itself. Both the primary and secondary 9150s must be connected to the network, and each 9150 is aware of the others IP address. The secondary 9150 polls the primary 9150, and the primary 9150 responds, exchanging information about their status. There may not be more than one secondary 9150. If the secondary 9150 cannot communicate with the primary 9150, but can commu-

nicate with one or both arbiters, it assumes that the primary 9150 is not working. It then becomes the primary and assumes control of the Teklogix backbone on the network. When the first 9150 comes online again, it assumes secondary status while the second 9150 continues as the primary. If the 9150s cannot communicate with the arbiter, they assume that the network is not working. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 43 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Redundancy Important: Both 9150s must be configured identically, with the exception of their unique IP addresses and the Backup IP Address parameter, which is the IP address of the other 9150. Note: When control of the Teklogix system is passed from one 9150 to the other, sessions between hosts and terminals are closed, and terminals and bases are reset. Enabled When this checkbox is enabled (), the 9150 uses the Redundancy feature. A second 9150, appropriately configured, and arbiters must be present on the network for the feature to operate properly. The default is disabled. Preferred Primary This parameter decides which 9150 becomes primary if both want to be primary. The checkbox should be enabled () in only one of the redundant pair of 9150s. The default is enabled. 44 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Redundancy Backup IP Address The Backup IP Address parameter contains the address of the other 9150 with which this 9150 communicates. The default value is 0.0.0.0. Note: The Backup IP address cannot be the same as the Alias IP address

(page 46). Poll Interval, Poll Timeout And Poll Tries Parameters The next three parameters are closely related. When this 9150 acts as the secondary device, it polls the primary 9150 at intervals specified by the Poll Interval parameter. After each poll, this 9150 waits for a reply for the length of time specified by the Poll Timeout parameter. If there is no reply during this time period, the 9150 sends another poll to the other 9150. The total number of polls sent while this 9150 waits for the response is specified by the Poll Tries parameter. If no response is received to the polls, the 9150 then pings the arbiter(s) to determine the status of the network. Poll Interval This parameter contains the interval, in seconds, at which this 9150 communicates with the other 9150. The range of values is 1 to 9999, the default is 10. Poll Timeout This parameter contains the interval, in seconds, during which this 9150 waits for a reply after sending a poll to the other 9150. If there is no reply, it sends another poll to the other 9150. The range of values is 1 to 9999, the default is 2. Poll Tries This parameter contains the number of times this 9150 will re-send a poll to the other 9150, before assuming that it cannot be reached. The usable range of values is 2 to 7, the default is 3. The value can go as high as 9. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 45 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Redundancy Alias IP Address This parameter contains the alias IP address, identical for both this and the other 9150 in the redundancy system. The primary 9150 presents the alias IP address to the network, as well as its own unique IP address. The secondary 9150 only presents its unique IP address to the network. When the secondary 9150 becomes the primary, it starts to use the alias IP address as well as its unique address, while the other 9150 stops using the alias IP address. Wireless devices in the system which communicate directly with the Teklogix network controllers IP address, such as terminals using TCP Direct, may communi-

cate with the alias IP address. They will then communicate with whichever of the two redundant 9150s is the primary. This address must be the same on both the primary and secondary 9150. The default address is 0.0.0.0. Note: The Alias IP address cannot be the same as the Backup IP address

(page 45). Arbiter 1 IP Address This parameter contains the address of a device on the network which is known to be reliable. Both 9150s ping this device; if they receive no reply, they ping Arbiter 2 if so configured (see page 46), otherwise they assume that the network is not operat-

ing. This address should be the same on both the primary and secondary 9150s. Arbiter 1 must always be configured when Redundancy is enabled. The default value is the loop-back address 127.0.0.1. Arbiter 2 IP Address This parameter contains the address of an optional second device on the network which is known to be reliable. Both 9150s ping this device if they receive no reply from Arbiter 1. If they receive no reply from Arbiter 2, they assume that the network is not operating. This address should be the same on both the primary and secondary 9150s. If the default address is configured, Arbiter 2 wont be used in the protocol. The default address is 0.0.0.0. 46 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration SNTP 3.4.5 SNTP SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is the protocol that enables the network to maintain an accurate system time. The SNTP Parameters Configure page, entered from the Configuration Main Menu page, allows the user to set the options. Enabled When this checkbox is enabled (), the 9150 automatically sends requests to the SNTP server to retrieve the time in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) format. The 9150 then sets the current local time using the Time Zone Offset value (see page 47). The default is enabled. Server Address This parameter contains the IP address of the SNTP server. If the server address is specified, the 9150 sends unicast messages to the server to retrieve the time. If the address is not specified (i.e. 0.0.0.0.), the 9150 retrieves the broadcast messages. The default value is 0.0.0.0. Refresh Rate This parameter contains the interval, in minutes, at which the 9150 retrieves the time. The range of values is 1 to 1440 minutes. The default value is 60. Time Zone Offset The Time Zone Offset is the difference between the GMT and the local time where the 9150 is located. If you are not sure of your time zone offset, you can get the GMT by using the console command ?T five minutes after booting up the 9150. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 47 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration TCP/IP Parameters The 9150 will retrieve the GMT and you can determine the offset value. The range of values is -1339 to 1339 minutes. The default value is -240.

(This default represents Eastern Standard Time, Canada, with Daylight Saving.) Note: The 9150 does not automatically compensate for Daylight Saving time. 3.4.6 TCP/IP Parameters If the 9150 is situated on a wired network, it uses TCP/IP. A Routing Table, Host Table, DHCP, Bootp, and DNS options are available to resolve IP addressing issues. Note: The term host in this context refers to any device with an IP address, including parts of the Teklogix system such as controllers, the 9150, and associated base stations. This use of host is common in the networking field. It should be distinguished from Psion Teklogixs use of host versus terminal. 48 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration TCP/IP Parameters Route Table 3.4.6.1 Routing Table The routing table is used when the 9150 and the host are not connected directly on a single physical network segment. Packets are routed between network segments to the network connections, depending on the packets destination addresses and on the contents of the 9150s Host and Routing tables. To add an entry to the 9150s routing table, select Configure beside [#] Add Entry in the listbox. This will open the New Routing Table Entry menu. New Routing Table Entry Entry Name This is the designated name of the entry. Destination Type Select a destination type for this entry from the drop-down list, either Host or Net. Router IP Address Enter the routers IP address in this textbox. This device must be on the same subnet as the 9150, and must be capable of sending packets to the host. If the host is on the same subnet as the 9150, enter its address here and in the Destination IP Address textbox. Destination IP Address Enter the IP address of the host. If the host is on the same subnet as the 9150, enter its address here and in the Router IP Address textbox. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 49 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration TCP/IP Parameters Host Table 3.4.6.2 If no external DNS server is available, the 9150 may resolve host names to IP addresses using its internal host table. Host Table Hosts are added to the table by selecting Configure beside [#] Add Entry in the listbox. This will open the New Host Table Entry menu where a new host name and IP address can be entered. An existing hosts name and IP address may be edited in the Host Table Entry menu by selecting Configure beside the host name in the listbox. The host may also be deleted from the table. When choosing to delete a host, you will be prompted for confirmation of the deletion, which will give you the opportu-

nity to cancel the action. 50 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual

 

 

Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration TCP/IP Parameters Name This is the designated name of the host. Note: The name must not contain space characters. IP Address This is the assigned IP address for the host. Host Table Entries This parameter allows you to determine the behaviour of the host name cache. The allowable settings are: Expire, Are Not Cached, and Never Expire. If Expire is selected, a timeout length determines how long the cached entries will remain in the table (see parameter, Host Table Entry Maximum Age, below). The default setting is Never Expire. Host Table Entry Maximum Age (seconds) This parameter allows you to set the expiry time limit (in seconds) for the host name cache when the Host Table Entries parameter is set to Expire. The minimum allowable value is 30. The default value is 600. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 51 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration TCP/IP Parameters 3.4.6.3 Network Interface Configuration Protocol The 9150 has designated default IP addresses for itself and the network Gateway. Alternatively, the IP address of the 9150 can be assigned by either a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server, if one is appropriately configured on the network. If either the DHCP or BOOTP option is chosen from the Network Interface Config-

uration Protocol drop-down list, the 9150 will broadcast a request to the appropriate server, as described in the following sections. The default setting is None. Important: Once the 9150 is configured and rebooted the first time, the Network Interface Configuration Protocol parameter should be disabled (set to None), unless the 9150 obtains its IP address from a DHCP or bootp server, or the system administrator intends to update the software through bootp. DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses dynamically so that addresses can be reused when hosts no longer require them, and also ensures that a particular address is not duplicated. The 9150 can obtain the following parameters from an appropriately configured DHCP Server: IP address, subnet mask, and IP address lease time (see DHCP Lease Time on page 53). The DNS Domain Name/Server IP addresses (see page 54) and SNTP Server IP address (see page 47) will also be requested from the DHCP Server. 52 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration TCP/IP Parameters Select DHCP for the 9150 to automatically broadcast a request for DHCP-

configured addresses to all hosts on the local Ethernet network. BOOTP The primary purpose of the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is to assign a designated IP address to the appropriate 9150 on the network, and to update the 9150 software. When the BOOTP option is selected from the Network Interface Configuration Pro-

tocol drop-down list, the 9150 automatically broadcasts a request for IP address, subnet mask, and flash image file name, to all hosts on the local Ethernet network, including the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) links. BOOTP Servers search the bootptab files for a hardware address match for the 9150 that initiated the request for address. (Bootptab files list each hardware address with a corresponding IP address, and the flash image file.) The host with a matching hard-

ware address in its bootp table replies to the request, sending the appropriate IP address and, if needed, the image file to the 9150. Software Upgrade Using TFTP The 9150 software may be upgraded by using a TFTP server instead of BOOTP. Contact the TFTP server and download the new image file by connecting the 9150 to a PC console (for details refer to page29) and entering the following command line:

>net tftp <servername><imagefile>

The image file will be loaded after the 9150 is rebooted. Note: This command is available for all version C releases of software, and for version B55. Do not use if B52 is the current version of software. DHCP Lease Time This parameter defines the length of time (in days) that the 9150 is requesting for the lease on its IP address and subnet mask. The default setting is 0 (zero), which requests the maximum lease time configured at the DHCP Server. Default Gateway Address The Default Gateway Address creates an identifiable communication link between the 9150 and a network other than the one to which the 9150 is directly wired. The Gateway Address shown in the read-only field is the address currently assigned by the network administrator. The text box allows you to change the value of the address. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 53 Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration TCP/IP Parameters The acceptable values for the Default Gateway IP address range from 0.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Note:

Setting the Gateway IP Address to 0.0.0.0 disables this feature. A communication link will not exist between sub-networks. DNS 3.4.6.4 Domain Name System allows users to locate destinations on the TCP/IP network by domain (host) name. The DNS server maintains a database of host names and their corresponding IP addresses. For example, if the server was presented with the name www.teklogix.com, it would return the IP address: 207.219.2.3. DNS Resolver Enabled When this parameter is enabled (), the 9150 will use the DNS Name Server identi-

fied by the IP address entered in the DNS Name Server parameter. DNS Default Domain This is the default domain name for this 9150. DNS Name Server 1 This is the IP address of the first designated DNS Name Server. The DNS Resolver will first contact this server to resolve a name query. If the query isnt resolved, the DNS Resolver will then contact the second DNS Name Server. DNS Name Server 2 This is the IP address of the second designated DNS Name Server. 54 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration Serial Ports Parameters 3.4.7 Serial Ports Parameters These parameters allow you to set the baud rates for the console port and the serial port.

Using IEEE 802.11b protocol, the 9150 provides a transparent bridge between Teklogix or client terminals and a network controller or host. For an overview of IEEE 802.11b, please refer to IEEE 802.11b Protocol on page 8. For operation as an access point, the parameters in the following pages must be set appropriately. Note: The 9150 main parameters should first be set up as described in Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration. 9150 Wireless Gateway ETHERNET TCP/IP 9400 Network Controller Figure 4.1 9150 Access Point Configuration Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 61 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration General Configuration Menu: Interfaces 4.2 General Configuration Menu: Interfaces The pull-down menu shown for the Interfaces option indicates which interfaces have been detected in use by the 9150, including any 802.11 PCMCIA radio:

IEEE 802.11 DS: USI WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 DSSS 2.4 GHz. Selecting IEEE 802.11 DS radio type from the drop-down list and entering Config-

ure will open the radio parameters page for that radio. 4.2.1 IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu When the USI WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 DSSS 2.4 GHz PCMCIA card is installed in the 9150, the IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameter sub-menu shown on the next page is opened from the Interfaces main menu. 62 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 63 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu 802.IQ Version 1 Configuration Menu 4.2.1.1 This parameter accesses the 802.IQv1 sub-menu that enables the Psion Teklogix proprietary 802.11b enhanced protocol, as described in 802.IQ v1 Sub-Menu, below, and in Psion Teklogix 802.IQ Protocol on page 9. For information on 802.IQv2, please refer to 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration on page 192. 802.IQ v1 Sub-Menu 802.IQ is a Psion Teklogix proprietary optimized protocol that enables terminals to operate on a wireless LAN in a network that supports both TCP/IP and 802.IQ pro-

tocol simultaneously. 802.IQv1 protocol is a wireless LAN protocol that provides greater performance in an 802.11b wireless network than is possible with TCP/IP. The 9150 bridges the 802.IQv1 wireless and TCP/IP wired networks. A terminal can communicate with the 9150 access point using either TCP/IP or 802.IQv1 protocol. Important:

802.IQ should only be enabled on wired 9150s. Do not configure 802.IQ on wired 9150s bridging networks, since 802.IQ beacons would be sent through the WDS link from one network to the other (see Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Configuration on page 72). The 802.IQv1 page is entered from the 802.IQ version 1 Configuration menu on the IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters page. 64 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu 802.IQ v1/v2 Common Features 4.2.1.2 Auto Startup This parameter enables ( ) 802.IQ immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. When the 9150 is operating as a base station under a network controller or a 9150 mini-

controller, this parameter must be disabled. The default value is disabled. Important:

If Auto Startup is set incorrectly, terminals may not operate correctly. Beacon Period An 802.IQ beacon is a broadcast sent out to all 802.IQ-enabled terminals. The beacon allows terminals to determine when they have roamed between base stations. It enables a terminal to determine whether or not the base station or controller was Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 65 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu rebooted and, if so, how to recover. If the controller was rebooted, the terminal closes all sessions and fully re-initializes. If the base station was rebooted, or if the terminal moved to a different 9150, a warm initialize is done (no data will be lost). The Beacon Period parameter acceptable value ranges from 1 to 20 seconds. The default value is 2. Terminal Offline Timeout This parameter sets the time (in minutes) before the 802.IQ task on the 9150 will send an offline message to the cellular master declaring the terminal offline. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 240. The default value is 5. 802.IQ v1 Configuration Submenu 4.2.1.3 Enabled This parameter enables ( ) or disables the 802.IQ feature. The default value is disabled. Initial RTT The parameter Initial RTT (Round-Trip Time) is used to help determine the elapsed time, in milliseconds, between an access point transmission and a terminal acknowledgement. The access point continuously adjusts the acceptable round trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmissions for each terminal. If an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time calculated, the access point will resend the transmission. Because access point(s) cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of transmissions, a starting point or Initial Round Trip Time is required. The access point uses the time assigned to the Initial RTT parameter as a starting value for round trip calculations. Once the access point begins transmitting and receiving data to and from the terminal, this value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmissions and acknowledgements. The acceptable value ranges from 10 to 10000. The default value is 1000. 66 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu Protocol Type ID This parameter identifies the 802.IQ protocol type, in order to avoid conflicts with other generated ethernet type packets that use the same protocol type. The acceptable value ranges from 1501 to 65535. The default value is 2457. Important:

The Protocol Type ID default value is rarely changed. If the proto-

col type is changed, all terminal devices must be changed to match. Forward 802.IQ Packets Only When bridging packets between the wireless and wired systems, this parameter enables the 9150 to automatically filter out and discard all non-802.IQ packets. The default setting is disabled. Give Higher Priority To 802.IQ Data When enabled ( ), this feature queues 802.IQ packets ahead of all other packet types (excluding voice packets, if applicable). If the parameter is disabled, 802.IQ packets are not prioritized and are treated like any other packet type. The default setting is enabled. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 67 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu 802.11 Radio Information 4.2.1.4 The parameters in this menu set general information about the USI WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 DSSS PCMCIA card installed in the 9150. Physical Address This parameter shows the hardware address (MAC address) of the radio card. A globally unique MAC address is assigned to each card by the card manufacturer. The value cannot be changed. AP Radio Name To identify each AP, the monitor uses the radio card's name. The identification can be configured here to give each radio card a unique name. The AP Radio Name is an alphanumeric character string of up to 32 characters. The default value is tkx9150. 68 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu Regulatory Domain The regulatory domain value identifies the regulatory bodys country code for the RF regulations with which the radio complies. For the USA, the regulatory body is the FCC, for Canada it's Industry Canada, and for Europe it's ETSI. The hex value in brackets beside the name is the code (as specified in the IEEE 802.11b standard) for that domain. The country codes that are decoded into a name are listed below. For other country codes the name portion will be replaced with Unknown. Regulatory Body Domain Code Country FCC-USA Industry Canada ETSI-Europe Spain France MKK-Japan 0x10 0x20 0x30 0x31 0x32 0x40 USA (for DS radios this is also the code used for Canada) Canada (currently only for FH radios, this may change in the future) Most of Europe Spain France Japan Fixed Multicast Rate This parameter allows you to choose the multicast rate of the installed 802.11, 2.4 GHz TRX7431 radio. The allowable values for TRX7431 are: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, or 11Mb/s. If Auto is chosen, the rate will automatically be set to the radio cards default multicast rate. WEP Implemented on the card This parameter shows whether the radio card installed on the 9150 supports the Wired-Equivalent Privacy feature, referred to as WEP. This feature allows you to encrypt radio traffic to prevent electronic eavesdropping. WEP is available in either 64-bit or 128-bit encryption for the TRX7431 radio. If WEP is not implemented by the radio card, the WEP parameters are non-functional. The allowable values are Yes or No, and cannot be changed. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 69 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu WEP Enable Enabling ( ) this parameter makes WEP available for the radio. The default is disabled. Hide WEP Keys This parameter controls access to the WEP keys by replacing the visible key values with the hidden values **** when the option is enabled ( ). To activate this fea-

ture, the WEP key values must first be entered and then submitted by pressing OK at the bottom of the page. Then, by going back into the IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters menu page (the key values will be visible), enable the Hide WEP Keys option, and submit the data again. This time you will see that the key values have been hidden. The feature is now set and remains enabled. To disable the feature or change any of the WEP key values, you must enter and then submit ALL of the existing and/or new key values. When you go back to the menu pages, the key values will be visible again. The default is disabled. WEP Tx Key This parameter specifies which WEP Key the 9150 will use when transmitting. The allowable values are 1 to 4. The default value is 1. WEP Encryption Key 1 to 4 This parameter allows you to set the encryption key for either 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Acceptable values for a key parameter are shown in Table 4.1. 64-bit Encryption 5 ASCII characters 0x, followed by 10 hex digits 128-bit Encryption (available with TRX7431 radio only) 13 ASCII characters 0x, followed by 26 hex digits Table 4.1 WEP Encryption Key Values Note: Although the user specifies 40-bit and 104-bit keys, these keys are actually composed with a 24-bit-long Initialization Vector generated inside the radio card, making up the 64- and 128-bit keys. Important:

The 9150 must be rebooted for changes to these parameters to take effect. 70 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu Basic Service Set (BSS) Configuration 4.2.1.5 The 9150 facilitates roaming of terminals across Basic Service Sets (BSS). For a detailed description, please see Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) on page 9. Enabled This parameter enables ( ) or disables the BSS feature. ESSID This is the Extended Service Set Identifier parameter. The ESSID is an alphanumeric character string of up to 32 characters and is case-sensitive. If your network includes devices that use the DOS ODI Driver, select alphabetical characters in uppercase only to allow the DOS ODI devices to connect to the network as well. Note: The ESSID should be the same for all devices in a system. Allow Broadcast ESSID This parameter enables ( ) or disables the Broadcast ESSID feature. By default, it is unchecked and the association of stations that provide an ESSID that is not equal to this 9150s ESSID is NOT allowed. This prevents the 9150 from being associated with any station (802.11 device within radio range) that has its ESSID set to ANY

(broadcast SSID). The default is disabled. Channel This parameter sets the operating channel for this radio, as determined by the system administrator. For a listing of the allowable channels for each country, please see PC Card Radios on page 204. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 71 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu Data Rate The Data Rate parameter allows you to choose whether to fix the data rate (Fixed n) or set a maximum automatic transmission rate (Auto n) for the BSS channel of the installed TRX7431 radio. The data rate can also be configured to automatically use the maximum transmission rate possible for the radio (Auto). Important:

The 9150 must be rebooted for changes to this parameter to take effect. The range of values is: Auto, Fixed 1, Fixed 2, Auto 2, Fixed 5.5, Auto 5.5, or Fixed 11Mb/s. The default setting is Auto. 4.2.1.6 Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Configuration The 9150 Wireless Gateway can be used as an 802.11b wireless access point (AP) to extend coverage area or for locations difficult to wire; or two 9150s can be used as an 802.11b bridge connecting two separate wired networks. The 9150 access points are linked to each other in the Wireless Distribution System

(WDS). To do this, each of the 9150s in the WDS must be configured to identify the other access points in the system, using their MAC addresses as described in the fol-

lowing parameter. Examples of various configuration scenarios are provided in Figure 4.2 on page 73 through Figure 4.5 on page 74. Note: The Basic Service Set (BSS) operates independently of the WDS. How-

ever, the BSS and WDS share the same bandwidth. For information on BSS, please refer to Basic Service Set (BSS) Configuration on page 71. 72 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Radio Parameters Menu MAC Address Of Remote AP Each wireless access point linked to this 9150 must be identified by entering its MAC address here, and the connection must also be enabled ( ). Up to six WDS links can be supported. This 9150s MAC address must also be configured and enabled on each of the other access points linked to it in the Wireless Distribution System. Important:

If there are two radio cards in the wireless 9150 access point, one radio should be configured for the WDS link, and the other for BSS coverage. If both radio cards are set for the WDS, one will be auto-

matically disabled.

MAC Bridge Parameters, Mobility Configuration, and Mobile IP Parameters. 4.4 MAC Bridge Parameters The MAC Bridge parameters consist of protocol filters that direct the 9150 to forward or discard frames that contain a known protocol type. This enables the 9150 to be selective of what types of frames will be bridged over the radio, in order to limit traffic on busy networks. Filtering frames is based on the protocol information in the frame. This is discussed in detail in Protocol Filters on page 83. The MAC Bridge Parameters page is entered from the Access Point Configuration menu on the first page, as shown above. Figure 4.6 on page 76 charts the pages for the MAC bridge filters. Entering OK or Cancel in the individual Filter pages will return you to the Bridge Parameters page. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 75 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration MAC Bridge Parameters Figure 4.6 Overview Of MAC Bridge Configuration Menus 76 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration General Configuration 4.4.1 General Configuration Access Point Mode Enabled When this 9150 is used only as an 802.IQ base station and not as an access point, this parameter should be disabled to reduce CPU time. Only broadcast and multicast frames will be passed through. Enable ( ) this parameter for the 9150 functioning as an access point. The default value is enabled. Address Filters Enabled The checkbox in this parameter enables or disables the Address Filters function. If filtering is enabled ( ), the 9150 can filter out frames based on destination MAC addresses. The list of MAC addresses for filtering is set by the Address Filters option on page 81. Frames are filtered and either forwarded or discarded, depending on the rest of the settings in this configuration. If filtering is disabled, no filtering will be done based on MAC addresses. Address Filters Default Action This parameter determines which Address Filters Default Action (discard or for-

ward) will be performed when the Address Filters Enabled parameter is checked

(). If an address does not match any of the addresses set in the Address Filters con-

figuration (see page 81), then it will take the Address Filters Default Action selected in this parameter. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 77 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration General Configuration For example, the Address Filters Default Action may be to discard all frames des-

tined for addresses not matched in the configuration database. Therefore if the address type field is not matched, the frame will be discarded. But if an address type field is matched in the database, the frame will be forwarded for that address. Conversely, if the default action is to forward all frames destined for addresses not matched in the configuration database, those frames will be passed on for those addresses, but frames for an address type field matched in the database will be discarded. Protocol Filters Enabled The checkbox in this parameter enables or disables the Protocol Filters function. If filtering is enabled ( ), frames are filtered and either forwarded or discarded, depending on the rest of the settings in this configuration. If filtering is disabled, no filtering will be done based on protocol frames. Protocol Default Action This parameter determines which Protocol Default Action (discard or forward) will be performed when the Protocol Filters Enabled parameter is checked (). Each Protocol Filter (see page 83) also has a forward/discard action associated with it. If a frame does not match any of the filters set in the Protocol Filters configuration, then it will take the Protocol Default Action selected in this parameter. For example, the Protocol Default Action may be to discard all frames. If a type field is matched in the configuration database, and the Filters action is forward, the frame will be passed on. If the field is not matched, then the frame will be dis-

carded. Therefore if you want only IP frames forwarded, after selecting the appro-

priate IP Type in the Ethernet II Filters (see page 86) the discard setting here will drop all frames containing other protocol types. Important:

If Protocol Filters Enabled is checked, and the Protocol Default Action is discard, an HTTP browser will not be able to access the 9150s configuration pages unless an ARP filter is defined to forward ARP packets. To do this, configure Ethernet II Filters to forward protocol type 0x0806 (ARP) packets (see page 86). Alterna-

tively, you can create a static entry in the ARP table on the compu-

ter that is running the browser. 78 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration General Configuration Bridge Spanning Tree Algorithm 4.4.1.1 The Spanning Tree Algorithm and its Bridge Protocol work to support and maintain MAC Bridge performance. Important:

These parameters are set with optimum default values. Do not adjust these values without discussing the effects with your Psion Teklogix representative. Bridge Priority This parameter helps a network manager select the active topology of the Bridged Local Area Network by influencing the selection of the Root Bridge. The 2-octet value is appended as the most significant portion of a bridge ID. A lower numerical value for the bridge priority makes the bridge more likely to become the root. The default value is 61440 (which equals 0xF000 in hexadecimal notation). Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 79 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration General Configuration Bridge Max Age The value of the Maximum Age parameter sent in a Configuration BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) when the 9150 is the Root or is attempting to become the Root. The Maximum Age is the message age at which a received configuration message is judged too old and is discarded. If the selected value is too small, then occasion-

ally the spanning tree will configure unnecessarily, possibly causing temporary loss of connectivity in the network. If the selected value is too large, the network will take longer than necessary to adjust to a new spanning tree after a topological event such as the restarting or crashing of a bridge or link. A conservative value is to assume a delay variance of 2 seconds per hop. The value recommended by IEEE 802.1d is 20 seconds. The default value is 20. Bridge Hello Time The time interval between the transmission of Configuration BPDUs by a 9150 that is the Root or is attempting to become the Root. The recommended time is 2 seconds. Shortening the time will make the protocol more robust, in case the probability of loss of configuration messages is high. Lengthening the time lowers the overhead of the algorithm (because the interval between transmission of configuration messages will be larger). The default value is 2. Bridge Forward Delay The value of the Forward Delay parameter sent in a Configuration BPDU when the 9150 is the Root or is attempting to become the Root. The Forward Delay temporarily prevents a bridge from starting to forward data packets to and from a link until news of a topology change has spread to all parts of a bridged network. This should give all links that need to be turned OFF in the new topology time to do so before new links are turned ON. The default value is 15. 80 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Address Filters: MAC Address Root Port Priority The Root Port Priority parameter sets the initial priority value assumed by the Root Port. The default value is 128. Set Port Priority The Set Port Priority parameter sets the prioritization of each enabled port. A lower numerical value for the port priority makes the port more likely to become the desig-

nated port. Port Number 1 corresponds to the wired interface; Port Numbers 2 to 7 correspond to WDSLinks 1 to 6. To set the priority, enter the port number in the textbox and then press the Configure button. Then enter the priority number for that port in the textbox. Valid values range from 0 to 255. The default value is 128. 4.4.2 Address Filters: MAC Address The 9150 can use a list of destination MAC addresses to filter out frames. The MAC addresses are those of any terminals associating with the 9150. If Address Filters Enabled on page 77 is checked ( ) and Address Filters Default Action (page 77) is set to discard, then any frame destined for any address in the list will be forwarded. If Address Filters Default Action is set to forward, then those frames will be dis-

carded. Addresses are added to the filter list by entering the Configure dialogue box from the Bridge Parameters menu. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 81 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Address Filters: MAC Address Name This is any name you wish to use to describe this terminal. Address This parameter provides the corresponding MAC address for the terminal. Address Type This parameter defines whether the source or destination address of the frame should be used to determine the filter action. The destination address has priority over the sources address. Therefore, when a frame is filtered, if its destination address is set for discarding but its source address is set for forwarding, the frame will be discarded. The default setting is destination. Filter Action Including Broadcast And Multicast Frames This parameter shows the filter action set in the Address Filters Default Action on page 77, which either forwards or discards frames based on the MAC address con-

figured here. If the action is shown as Forward, the frames for this address will be discarded. If the action is Discard, the frames will be forwarded. The parameter is not configurable in this menu. 82 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Protocol Filters 4.4.3 Protocol Filters When the 9150 receives frames, it can forward or discard the messages by filtering the protocol Type fields encapsulated in the frame. The filtering is done on three types of Ethernet headers: Ethernet II, LLC and SNAP. Figure 4.7 on page 84 illustrates the Ethernet header formats. The parameters to configure these filters are described in the sections which follow. Note: Throughout these menus, the values for all the protocol types are, by con-

vention, entered in hexadecimal, preceded by 0x. The fields for a basic IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame consist of a six-byte destination MAC address, followed by a six-byte source MAC address, and a two-byte protocol Type. The final fields in a frame are the Data field and the FCS field (Frame Check Sequence, or CRC). If the Type field contains a value that is greater than or equal to 0x0600, it is assumed to be the protocol identifier for an Ethernet II header. This field is used to determine which protocol is being used in the frame, and this is what can be filtered (see Ethernet II Filters on page 86). If the protocol Type is less than 0x05DC, then the value is interpreted as a Length field instead. It is assumed that an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) header is to follow the Length. This header consists of the Destination Service/Source Service Access Point (DSAP/SSAP) and Control fields (see LLC Filters on page 87). Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 83 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Protocol Filters If the DSAP and SSAP are both 0xAA, and the Control field has a value of 0x03, the LLC header will be followed by an extension which is a SNAP header. The SNAP header includes the Organizational Unit Identifier (OUI) and the protocol type (see SNAP Filters on page 88). Figure 4.7 Ethernet Frame Types The listboxes in the Protocol Filters option show the protocol filters already set in the configuration database. Selecting a protocol name and then opening the Config-

ure dialog box gives a list of parameter settings that can be modified or deleted for that protocol. 84 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Protocol Filters Figure 4.8 Protocol Filters Main Menu And Sub-menus New filters can be added by selecting [#] Create New in the listbox before enter-

ing the Configure dialog box. Once a filter is created, the option to delete it can be found on its configuration page (for example, see Ethernet II Filters on page 86). When choosing to delete a filter, you will be prompted for confirmation of the dele-

tion, which will give you the opportunity to cancel the action. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 85 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Protocol Filters If a hexadecimal number is entered that is outside the minimum or maximum allow-

able value for these parameters, you will receive an alert that the Type value is invalid for the specified protocol. 4.4.3.1 Ethernet II Filters Name This is any name you wish to use to describe this Ethernet II filter. Action This parameter can be set to either forward or discard frames with protocol types that match this filter. Type The value entered in this parameter must be a four-digit hexadecimal number ranging from 0x0600 to 0xFFFF, which represents the Ethernet II protocol type you wish to filter. For example, if you only use TCP/IP, create two protocol filters, one to forward IP (Type 0x0800) and the other to forward ARP (Type 0x0806). For a listing of Ethernet II types, see Ethernet II Types (RFC 1700) on page C-1. 86 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Protocol Filters 4.4.3.2 LLC Filters Name This is any name you wish to use to describe this LLC filter. Action This parameter can be set to either forward or discard frames with protocol types that match this filter. DSAP/SSAP The value entered in the Destination Service/Source Service Access Point

(DSAP/SSAP) parameter must be a four-digit hexadecimal number ranging from 0 to 0xFFFF, where the first pair of digits is the DSAP and the last pair is the SSAP. For a listing of DSAP/SSAP types, see DSAP/SSAP Types on page C-14. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 87 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Protocol Filters 4.4.3.3 SNAP Filters Name This is any name you wish to use to describe this SNAP (SubNet Access Protocol) filter. Action This parameter can be set to either forward or discard frames with protocol types that match this filter. OUI The value entered in this parameter must be a six-digit hexadecimal number ranging from 0 to 0xFFFFFF, which is the Organization Unique Identifier. When this parameter is enabled ( ), the OUI will be filtered. Type The value entered in this parameter must be a four-digit hexadecimal number ranging from 0 to 0xFFFF, which represents the SNAP type you wish to filter. When this parameter is enabled ( ), this Type will be filtered. For a short listing of OUI values, see OUI Values on page C-15. 88 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Protocol Filters Storm Detection 4.4.3.4 This filter parameter can prevent broadcast/multicast storms from spreading throughout the network. Network storms can burden radio traffic with unnecessary data transmissions. Enabled This parameter enables ( ) or disables the Storm Detection filters. Threshold The maximum number of broadcast/multicast frames that should be received in one second is defined in this parameter. When that threshold is exceeded, a broadcast storm is declared. Every broadcast/multicast frame received will be discarded until it is determined that the storm is over (see Restart, below). Setting the value for Threshold is determined by the characteristics of your network. The default value is 200. Restart The broadcast storm is determined to be over when the number of broadcast frames received for a one second period is less than or equal to the value entered in this parameter. Setting the value for Restart is determined by the characteristics of your network. The default value is 150. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 89 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Mobility Configuration 4.5 Mobility Configuration The Mobility Configuration page is entered from the Access Point Configuration menu on the first page. Going to the Mobility Configuration page opens the IAPP Parameters options. The Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is an extension to the IEEE 802.11b protocol. In a multiple-9150 system, IAPP facilitates roaming of mobile stations

(terminals) among the 9150s, and enables communication and awareness between the 9150s. Every terminal is associated with one 9150, but it can re-associate with another 9150 to maintain uninterrupted communications. The association is handed over from one 9150 to the next. The newly-associated 9150 will receive the terminals data frames and pass them onto the LAN. Returning frames are no longer accepted by the original 9150, which has disassociated from that terminal. Returning frames are now accepted by the newly-associated 9150 and passed over the RF to the terminal. To implement these procedures and coordinate the 9150s, IAPP specifies two message types: Announce and Handover. 90 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration IAPP Parameters In IAPP Announce procedures, when the 9150 is initialized, it sends an IP multicast message to inform the other 9150s in the network that it has become active. It also informs the other 9150s of its continued operation (alive status) by periodically multicasting the Announce beacon. The Handover protocol is intended to inform the old 9150 that a terminal has been associated with a new 9150, and to update the filter tables of intermediate MAC-

bridges to correctly forward frames destined for the terminal. The newly-associated 9150 sends a Handover request to the old 9150, which disassociates itself and acknowledges the request. Important:

These parameters are set with optimum default values. Do not adjust these values without discussing the effects with your Psion Teklogix representative. 4.5.1 IAPP Parameters Announce Period The Announce Period parameter indicates the number of seconds between Announce broadcasts. For further information, see Mobility Configuration on page 90. Handover Timeout If there is no response to the Handover request by the 9150 within the time specified in the Handover Timeout parameter, the request is retransmitted. If no response is received after a number of retries (set in the Handover Retries parameter, below), the 9150 will complete the reassociation procedure itself. For further information, see Mobility Configuration on page 90. Handover Retries This parameter sets the number of times the 9150 will transmit a Handover request to the disassociated 9150, before it completes the association transfer itself. See also Handover Timeout, above. Delay Double The Delay Double parameter doubles the amount of Handover Timeout between Handover Retries. For example, if the first retry is after 500 milliseconds, the next Handover request is sent after 1 second, followed by a retry after 2 seconds, etc. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 91 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Mobile IP Parameters 4.6 Mobile IP Parameters Mobile IP is used to allow mobile nodes (i.e. terminals) to roam seamlessly between different TCP/IP subnets (10.16.xxx.xxx -> 10.128.xxx.xxx), through foreign and home agents (9150s), which act as proxies. When the terminal roams away from its home network, the home agent will take all packets destined for the mobile node, and send them on to the foreign agent, which relays the packets to the node (terminal). 92 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Mobile IP Configuration 4.6.1 Mobile IP Configuration Enable Mobile IP This parameter enables ( ) or disables the Mobile IP feature. The default is disabled. 4.6.1.1 Mobile Agent Parameters Advertisement Lifetime This parameter is the maximum length of time (in seconds) that the advertisement is considered valid in the absence of further advertisements. If the mobile node does not get an advertisement within this period of time, it will assume it has lost contact with that agent. It will then attempt to register any other agent that it has heard. The acceptable value ranges from 3 to 30. The default value is 10. Minimum Advertisement Interval This parameter is the minimum period of time (in seconds) between advertisements. The nominal interval at which the agent advertisements are sent should be 1/3 of the Advertisement Lifetime parameter value. This allows the mobile node to miss three successive advertisements before deleting the agent from its list of valid agents. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 10. The default value is 3. Maximum Advertisement Interval This parameter is the maximum period of time (in seconds) between advertisements. The nominal interval at which the agent advertisements are sent should be 1/3 of the Advertisement Lifetime parameter value. This allows the mobile node to miss three successive advertisements before deleting the agent from its list of valid agents. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 10. The default value is 4. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 93 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Mobile IP Configuration 4.6.1.2 Mobile Node Parameters Registration Lifetime This parameter is the maximum registration lifetime that a terminal will register for, in seconds. This value depends on the dynamics of your system. A few tenths of seconds to a few minutes seem appropriate. The value 65535 is equivalent to infinite for the parameter using it. If the terminal requests a value that is larger than the value configured in the Home Agent, the registration will be rejected and the terminal will have to retry with a lower value. The acceptable value ranges from 300 to 65535. The default value is 65535. Maximum Number Of Bindings Per Mobile Node This parameter represents the maximum number of simultaneously available agents for each mobile node. It should be set to a reasonable value, according to the maximum number of base stations that can be in the mobile node's range simulta-

neously. Some margin should be taken since although being short on the number of agents will not prevent the system from working, it is not ideal. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 5. The default value is 1. Maximum Number Of Registered Mobile Nodes This parameter is the maximum number of terminals that can register with this 9150 acting as a home agent. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 255. The default value is 128. Maximum Number Of Visiting Mobile Nodes This parameter is the maximum number of terminals that can communicate to the home agent via this 9150 acting as a foreign agent. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 255. The default value is 128. 94 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Mobile IP Configuration 4.6.1.3 Supported Features Allow Simultaneous Binding This parameter enables ( ) multiple (simultaneous) bindings. The default value is disabled. Replay Protection This parameter enables ( ) time-stamp based replay protection. The mobile node and home agent values for this parameter must match. The default value is disabled. 4.6.1.4 Gratuitous ARP Configuration Delay Between Gratuitous ARPs This parameter is the delay (in seconds) between gratuitous ARP retransmission. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 5. The default value is 2. Number of Retries This parameter is the maximum number of sent gratuitous ARPs on the home net-

work, when the home agent accepts a registration from a mobile node. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 5. The default value is 3. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 95 Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration Mobile IP Configuration 4.6.1.5 Security Configuration Security Parameter Index (SPI) This parameter is the Security Parameter Index (SPI) of association with the home agent. The SPI value must match the SPI value on the mobile node. The minimum acceptable value is 256. The default value is 333. Security Key (MD5) The Security Key parameter is in ASCII text with a maximum length of 16 bytes. The agent key must also match the key on the mobile node. The default value is TEKLOGIXTEKLOGIX. Replay Protection Timing Slack This parameter provides Timestamp-based replay protection. Important:

In order for this parameter to operate, SNTP must also be enabled

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 97 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Overview 5.1 Overview The 9150 Wireless Gateway can function as either a wired or wireless Base Station, or as a Remote Radio Module (RRM), using a radio link and Psion Teklogix propri-

etary protocols to facilitate communications with the terminals (see also Radio Pro-

tocols on page 7). As a wired base station, the 9150 can communicate with both wireless base stations and terminals using either Adaptive Polling/Contention or Wlan Protocols (see page 11), and is connected to the network controller over a network. As a wireless base station, the 9150 communicates with the wired base station and mobile terminals using the Wlan Protocol. As an RRM, the operation and timing of the 9150s radio link to the terminals is directly controlled by a network controller that uses a timeplexing radio protocol

(see Timeplexing And Cellular Switching, below). It is connected to the network controller over a network. Timeplexing And Cellular Switching There are two methods of operating on the radio link. The first method is called cellular switching. It is similar in concept to cellular telephone systems. Here, each base station uses a different radio channel. The terminals monitor the radio link and automatically switch to the channel with best radio reception. This cellular switching capability is transparent to the host. The second method is called timeplexing. Here, all Remote Radio Module (RRM) bases at the site use the same channel. Over a UDP/IP network, a network controller, or the 9150 as a mini-controller, coordinates the polling sequence so that the RRMs do not transmit simultaneously. This timeplexing capability is also transparent to the host. Timeplexing is suited for sites with low transaction rates. Cellular switching and timeplexing can be combined within one Teklogix system:

a site may operate on two or more channels, with several grouped timeplexed bases using each channel, and cellular switching between the channels. In all of these cases, the operator may move freely throughout the site without loss of communication. The Teklogix system handles channel-switching and handovers between bases without alerting the user.

ration pages on the Configuration Main Menu screen should be set appropriately, as described in the sections that follow. In addition, the appropriate radio and host parameters must be applied. The radio parameters are found in the Interfaces pages for TekLAN and Narrow Band radios. See pages 102 and 106, respectively. The host parameters are found in the Mini-Controller Configuration: Hosts pages, which can be found starting on page 131. See Figure 5.2 on page 101 for an overview of the menus involved. Note: The 9150 main parameters should first be set up as described in Chapter 3:

For details on the RF protocols, see page 11. 100 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Overview Figure 5.2 Overview Of Menus For Base Station Configuration Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 101 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration General Configuration Menu: Interfaces 5.2 General Configuration Menu: Interfaces 5.2.1 TekLAN Parameters The pull-down menu shown for the Interfaces option in the 9150 Configuration Main Menu page indicates which interfaces have been detected in use. Entering the Configure dialog box for Slot A: TekLAN Card, opens the parameters page for TekLAN, which presents both the radio and Wlan parameters. Figure 5.3 Overview Of TekLAN Menus 102 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration TekLAN Parameters 5.2.1.1 Radio Radio Type The type of PC radio card installed on the 9150 is dependent on your wireless net-

work. This parameter should be set to the installed radio. The TekLAN radio is the TekLAN 902 MHz DS Spread Spectrum. Important:

If changing radio types in the 9150, DO NOT hot swap the PC cards: turn the 9150 off before changing the radio. Following this, when changing the Radio Type parameter, the unit must be powered OFF and ON again (cold rebooted). Rebooting with the Reboot Unit option will not implement the radio parameter change. Data Rate This parameter determines the data (baud) rate for the radio channel. This is a decimal value in bits per second. The acceptable value for the Data Rate parameter for the TekLAN 902 MHz DS SS is 122kb/s. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 103 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration TekLAN Parameters Channel n Enabled These parameters are used to enable ( ) or disable a channel. The number of chan-

nels available is determined by the type of radio installed. See PC Card Radios on page 204 for the number of available channels for each radio type. Active Channel This parameter determines the current default radio channel. Range The federal agencies, Industry Canada and the Federal Communications Commis-

sion in the United States, as well as other country-specific agencies world-wide, regulate the use of radio frequencies to ensure that communication conflicts are avoided. See PC Card Radios on page 204 for the assigned frequencies for each radio type. The Range parameter determines which channels can be enabled and is set accord-

ing to the approved frequency range in the country where the system is installed. The TekLAN 902 MHz radio is only assigned the 902 MHz frequency. Enable Card This parameter enables the PC card ( ). The card may be disabled temporarily when, for testing purposes, it is required that there be no radio interference. Auto-Startup This parameter enables ( ) polling immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. If Auto-Startup is disabled, the 9150 will wait until polling is initialized from the network controller. When the 9150 is operating as a Wlan base station under a network controller, this parameter should be disabled. 104 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration TekLAN Parameters 5.2.1.2 The Wlan protocol can only be used with spread spectrum radios. Wireless LAN Parameters Important:

If your system is using the Wlan protocol, make sure that Operate in Cellular Mode is enabled (see page 128) in the Radio Link Fea-

tures sub-menu and that cellular mode is also set on the 9400/

Network Controller. Base Number This parameter is used to assign a unique address to each base station. As the termi-

nals move from one base station to another, this address is transmitted by the base stations to the terminals, identifying each 9150 on a multiple base station system. The allowable range of base station numbers is 1 to 64. Wired Network Connection This parameter should be enabled ( ) if the 9150 is directly connected (wired) to the network. If the 9150 is a wireless base station, this parameter should be disabled. The default setting is enabled. Timeout This value is used to adjust Wlan performance and should be set to 10. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 105 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Max Priority This value is used to adjust Wlan performance and should be set to 20. Base Priority The Base Priority parameter determines the number of priority transmit slots reserved for each base station. The allowable range for this parameter is 0 to 100. For optimal performance, this parameter should be set to a value of 2. Message Duration This parameter controls the duration of transmit slots to optimize communications and decrease the likelihood of collisions. A Message Duration value of 1 translates into a slot duration of 130 micro seconds. The allowable range for this parameter is 2 to 200. For optimal performance, this parameter should be set to 15. Offline Timeout This parameter determines the time in minutes that a terminal is allowed to be inac-

tive before the 9150 declares it offline. An offline terminal is still considered part of the system. Messages to offline terminals are queued at the 9150. The terminal remains offline until it transmits any message. Values for this parameter range from 0 to 100. If the parameter is set to 0, terminals are never declared offline. 5.2.2 Narrow Band Radio Parameters The pull-down menu shown for the Interfaces option on the 9150 Configuration Main Menu page indicates which interfaces have been detected in use. For the selec-

tion Slot A: Teklogix Narrowband, entering the Configure dialog box will display the Slot A TRX7370 Parameters menu for the TRX7370 Narrow Band PC card radio, as shown in Figure 5.4 on page 107. The Slot A TRX7370 Parameters menu has two configuration sub-menus:

General Options When you select this sub-menu, the page displayed allows you to set the operat-

ing options for the 9150 in either base station or RRM mode, and to retrieve the radio cards permanent communications settings. Connectivity Options When you select this sub-menu, the 9150 displays the Parameters page of the operating mode for which the 9150 is set (base station or RRM). 106 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters There is also a Main Menu button. When you select this button, the 9150 displays the Configuration Main Menu (see page 101). Figure 5.4 Overview Of Teklogix Narrow Band Menus Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 107 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters 5.2.2.1 General Options When you select this sub-menu, the page displayed allows you to set the operating options for the 9150, and to retrieve the TRX7370 radio cards permanent communi-

cations settings. Enable Card This parameter enables the PC card ( ). The card may be disabled temporarily when, for testing purposes, it is required that there be no radio interference. Important:

If changing radio types in the 9150, DO NOT hot swap the PC cards: turn the 9150 off before changing the radio. Operating Mode This parameter allows you to set the operating mode of the 9150 as Base Station or RRM. 5.2.2.2 TRX7370 Radio Card Parameters Entering the Get Card Parameters dialog box will open the list of General, Fre-

quencies, and Tuning Values parameters for the TRX7370 Narrow Band PC card radio. These manufacturers settings are not configurable. The settings are shown on pages 110 and 111. 108 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 109 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters General Parameters Frequencies 110 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Tuning Values Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 111 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Connectivity Options: Base Station Mode 5.2.2.3 When you enter the Connectivity Options sub-menu for the 9150 set in base station operating mode, the 9150 displays the Polling Protocol Parameters and Radio Parameters. 112 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Auto-Startup This parameter enables ( ) polling immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. If Auto-Startup is disabled, the 9150 will wait until polling is initialized from the network controller. Shared Channel Shared Channel is only used in Holland to accommodate government requirements. When enabled ( ), it imposes timing restrictions for polling. Every 2 seconds of polling is followed by 0.5 seconds of silenceno polling occurs. Further, if another carrier is detected on the channel, the 9150 will cease radio trans-

missions on that channel until the path is clear. POLLING PROTOCOL PARAMETERS Number of Poll Windows This parameter defines the number of poll windows the 9150 will use. The value assigned to this parameter is dependent on the number of terminals and the radio link protocol used. Table 5.1 on page 114 indicates how the value assigned to the Number of Poll Windows parameter is determined. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 113 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Number of Terminals Minimum # of Windows 1-16 17-81 82-256 2 3 4 Table 5.1 Number Of Poll Windows Cellular Protocol Size of Poll Windows The value assigned to this parameter determines the largest message that can be passed between the 9150 and the terminal in a normal poll window. The window size can be adjusted to accommodate anywhere from 4 to 32 characters. Larger windows increase the polling period and can increase the response time. Smaller windows increase the number of message and long message polls, and can also increase the response time. Important:

In Cellular mode, the minimum value for this parameter is 8. Maximum Message Segment Size This parameter determines the largest single message that can be passed to a terminal in message mode or from a terminal in long message mode. In a 9150 base station, the value entered in this parameter must be greater than or equal to the value entered in the network controller or 9150 mini-controller. The range of this parame-

ter is between 32 and 116 characters. (Longer messages are broken into several packets.) The default value is 100. Number of Retries This parameter determines how many times the 9150 attempts to resend a message if an acknowledgement is not received from the terminal. (These retries do not necessarily occur in consecutive polls because incomplete messages are returned to the bottom of the message queue.) After all retries have been exhausted, the terminal is declared offline. The 9150 does not transmit any messages to the terminal until the terminal declares itself online. The allowable values range from 1 to 7. 114 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Collision Size This parameter reduces the probability that random noise on the radio link will be interpreted as a collision between terminals. Response time increases when the 9150 resolves collisions unnecessarily. Collision Size places an upper limit on the number of characters that are received prior to the receipt of an error message (CRC, CD lost, etc.). If eight is the value of this parameter, eight or less characters followed by an error message appearing over the radio link are considered noise. If there are more than eight characters, it is con-

sidered a collision. Acceptable values range from 3 to 15. Free Window Factor The value entered in this parameter determines if free window mode will be used. In free window mode, all terminals that are not assigned any other window can use the free window. Entering a value of 0 (zero) in this parameter disables free window mode. Increas-

ing the value of this parameter increases the likelihood of a message being transmit-

ted in the free window. Message Mode Limit This parameter defines an upper limit to the number of messages that must be queued for transmission before message mode polling starts. Accepted values range from 0 to 7, where 0 disables message mode. Note: The number of terminals and past events are also part of the algorithm that determines whether or not to start message mode. Callsign Period A call sign is periodically transmitted as an audible Morse code signal. This parameter specifies the interval in minutes between call sign transmissions. Acceptable values range from 0 to 60. The federal agencies, Industry Canada and the Federal Communications Commission in the United States, require that each system transmit its own identification call sign every 15 minutes. In countries where a call sign is not required, setting this parameter to 0 prevents the transmission of any call signs, allowing for shorter poll time-outs in terminals and faster channel switching. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 115

 

 

Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters Callsign String This string can be a maximum of 10 characters long. All characters are either numbers or letters. The prefix DE (from) is added to the beginning of the transmit-

ted call sign. RADIO PARAMETERS Sync Delay Important:

This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting without a clear understanding of the timing of the radio protocol. Sync Delay specifies the delay between the time of the base station transmission and the first response window, measured in character times. The value assigned to this parameter must be compatible with other base stations and terminals in the system. The TRX7370 radio is available in either two level or four level modulation, provid-

ing baud rates of 4800 bps and 9600 bps, or 9600 bps and 19200 bps, respectively. The default setting for a two level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud, is 23. The default setting for a four level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 19200 baud, is 31. Remote Txon Remote Txon accommodates the turn on time of the radio in terminals (remotes). It specifies the number of fill characters sent to the radio before real data is output. Since this parameter is based on character times, the number is dependent on the radio link baud rate. 116 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Narrow Band Radio Parameters The value assigned to the Remote Txon parameter must be consistent across all terminals and base station equipment. The allowable value range is 3 to 60. Important:

This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting without an understanding of the timing of the radio protocol. Active Channel This parameter determines the operating radio channel of the 9150. This makes the channel available for channel searching by the terminals. The channel selected must be one of those that have been configured with frequencies, as indicated on the TRX7370 Radio Card Parameters page. See page 110 for the list of associated chan-

nels and frequencies. Connectivity Options: RRM Mode 5.2.2.4 When you enter the Connectivity Options sub-menu for the 9150 set in RRM operat-

ing mode, the 9150 displays the RRM parameters. Port This parameter allows you to enter the port number of the 9150. The port number can range from 1024 to 32767. Important:

The port number entered here must match the port number entered for this 9150 in the network controllers RRM configuration. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 117 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Base Station Configuration Menu Options 5.3 Base Station Configuration Menu Options The 9150 Wireless Gateway can operate as a base station or remote radio module

(RRM), facilitating the communications between terminals and wireless base sta-

tions and a network controller (Teklogix 9400 Network Controller or 9150 Wireless Gateway), using a range of host platforms. Alternatively, the network controller can be a host running a Teklogix SDK (handler). The 9150 can also act as a slave base station to a 9150 on the network. 5.3.1 Base Stations Base stations communicate over the radio link using Psion Teklogix proprietary protocols. They can optionally carry IP data over these protocols. Base stations can be connected to network controllers using TCP/IP over Ethernet networks. As a base station communicating with terminals through a radio link, the 9150 uses the Wireless LAN (Wlan) or Adaptive Polling/Contention RF protocols (see page 7 for details on the protocols). The 9150 controls the radio links operation and timing. Each base station uses a different radio channel, and terminals use cellular switching to roam between stations. The options and parameters on the following pages allow you to configure the 9150 as a master base station connected to up to 32 slave 9150 base stations over an Ethernet network. The master 9150 is connected to a 9400 Network Controller, or up to six hosts running TSDK (Teklogix Software Development Kit). From the Base Stations option under Base Station Configuration (see Figure 5.2 on page 101), entering Configure will open the Configure New Base Station page, which will enable you to add a new slave base station to the system or change the parameters on an existing slave base station. 118 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Base Stations Name The name entered in this parameter is used as an alternate way of identifying the IP address of a slave base station. IP Address This parameter provides the corresponding IP address for the slave base station. The IP Address must be a unique value so that each slave base station can be iden-

tified on the network. The acceptable value ranges from 0.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The default value for the IP port is 16100. Protocol IAC/EOR (TCP/IP) is the default protocol for the Ethernet connection. Message Size Message Size determines the largest single message that can be passed to a terminal. The range of this parameter is between 32 and 380 characters. (Longer messages are broken into several packets.) For polling protocol base stations, the upper limit is 116. Auto-Startup When this parameter is enabled ( ), the slave base stations will start polling when the master 9150 boots up. When Auto-Startup is disabled, the base stations will not start polling until they receive a start polling command from the host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 119 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups 5.3.2 RRM Groups While the 9150 can operate as a Remote Radio Module (RRM, see Connectivity Options: RRM Mode on page 117), it can also control other RRMs. For a 9150 to control RRMs, RRM groups must be configured. Once an RRM group has been defined, from one to four RRMs can be members of a group (see RRM Group Menu on page 126). All RRMs in a group operate on the same radio channel. The 9150 coordinates the transmissions of all the RRMs in a group (for this reason, the controlling 9150 is sometimes referred to as the Timeplexing Master). Configure New RRM Group 5.3.2.1 In this screen, shown on the next page, the user can set options for a new RRM group. Each RRM must be a member of an RRM group; there may be more than one RRM group configured in the 9150. An RRM group may contain from one to four RRMs. This screen is very similar to the one in Connectivity Options: Base Station Mode on page 112, the difference being that the parameters configured in those radio menus apply to the TRX7370 radio resident in the 9150, while the parameters con-

figured here apply to the other, remote 9150s (the RRMs). 120 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Name This textbox allows the user to enter a name for the new RRM group. The value is any text string. The default is Unnamed RRM Group. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 121 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Communication Protocol This listbox allows you to select the protocol to be used for the connection to this RRM group. The default is the TCP/IP protocol. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( ) for the 9150 to function as an RRM group controller. If this option is disabled, the 9150 automatically goes into base station mode. Auto-Startup When this parameter is enabled ( ), the 9150 establishes communication with the RRMs in this RRM group when it boots, and starts polling automatically. When Auto-Startup is disabled, the 9150 establishes communication with the RRMs in this group when it boots, but does not start polling in this RRM group until a start polling command is received from the host. Polling starts if at least one of the RRMs in the RRM group is operating when the 9150 boots. Shared Channel If this parameter is enabled ( ), the 9150 checks for other traffic on the radio channel used by this RRM group, before polling. If this parameter is disabled, the 9150 assumes that it has exclusive use of the radio channel for this RRM group, and polls without checking for radio traffic. This parameter is required for systems installed in the Netherlands. POLLING PROTOCOL PARAMETERS Warning:

These parameters are pre-configured for your system, and should not be changed without a proper understanding of how they affect the radio link. 122 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Number of Poll Windows This textbox allows the user to specify the number of poll windows in which the RRM listens for terminal responses after sending a poll. The allowable values range from 2 to 4. The default value is 3. Size of Poll Windows This textbox allows the user to specify the size of the poll windows in which the RRMs of this RRM group listen for terminal replies. The allowable values range from 5 to 32. The default value is 8. Maximum Message Segment Size This textbox allows the user to specify the size of the largest message segment, in bytes, that will be sent over the Teklogix radio network. Larger messages are broken into parts. The allowable values range from 32 to 116. The default value is 100. Number of Retries This textbox allows the user to specify the number of times the RRM retransmits a message to a terminal, after receiving no acknowledgement from the terminal, before it declares the terminal offline. The allowable values range from 1 to 7. The default value is 3. Collision Size This textbox allows the user to specify the smallest number of characters of noise received by the RRM, that will be interpreted as interfering transmissions from Teklogix equipment. When this threshold is exceeded, the RRM starts collision resolution. The allowable values range from 3 to 10. The default value is 6. Free Window Factor This textbox allows the user to specify the probability that the RRM will include a free window in its poll, during which any terminal may transmit. The allowable values range from 0 to 7. The default value is 0. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 123 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Message Mode Limit This textbox allows the user to specify the probability of including a message-mode poll in its poll transmission. The allowable values range from 3 to 7. The default value is 4. Callsign Period This textbox allows the user to specify the amount of time between transmissions of the callsign. This parameter is in minutes. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that no call-

sign is transmitted. The allowable values range from 0 to 60. The default value is 0. Callsign String This textbox allows the user to specify the text to be transmitted as the RRMs call-

sign. The text is transmitted as Morse code. The default value is Teklogix. RADIO PARAMETERS Because some of the radio parameters are identical for a given group of timeplexed RRMs, they may be configured by the user once on the 9150; the 9150 then passes them to the RRMs in the group. These parameters include the synchronization delay

(Sync Delay), the remote transmit on-time (Remote Txon), and the channel number to be used (Active Channel). Although the TRX7370 narrow band radio in each RRM in the group is configured separately, the 9150 assumes they will be configured identically. To ensure this, the 9150 looks at certain parameters returned by each of the RRMs. These parameters include the radio baud rate and the transmit-on time. These parameters are compared against the values returned by other RRMs within the same group. Error messages are displayed should these values not match, but the worst case value is chosen for use. Warning:

These parameters are pre-configured for your system, and should not be changed without a proper understanding of how they affect the radio link. Sync Delay This textbox allows the user to specify the number of delay characters inserted between the RRMs transmission and the first response window. The allowable values range from 3 to 45. The default value is 28. 124 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups Remote Txon This textbox allows the user to specify the number of fill characters sent by the ter-

minal radios before the terminals send message data. The allowable values range from 3 to 32. The default value is 13. Active Channel This textbox allows the user to specify the radio channel to be used by all the RRMs in the RRM group. The allowable values range from 1 to 20. The default value is 1. GROUP PARAMETERS Combination These textboxes allow the user to specify RRM subgroups called combinations. If the coverage areas of two or more of the RRMs in this RRM group do not overlap, the non-overlapping RRMs may poll at the same time. This improves system response time and reduces the amount of signalling on the network. As an example, if the RRM group has 3 RRMs, and RRMs 1 and 3 don't overlap, RRMs 1 and 3 may be placed in one subgroup (Combination 1). They will then poll simultaneously. RRM 2 may be placed in another subgroup (Combination 2). Polling alternates between the two subgroups. To configure a combination, place the numbers of the RRMs in the textbox for that combination. The numbers correspond to the numbers of the RRMs named in the RRM list on the RRM Group Menu (see page 126). For instance, 13 in the textbox for Combination 1 places RRMs 1 and 3 in that subgroup. Note: When configuring RRM combinations, make sure the configured RRMs are sequential, and are not missing numbers, which can happen when RRMs are deleted and added. The combinations use the RRMs in the order that they appear in the list, not how they are numbered in the list. RRMs that are not assigned to combinations poll individually, after the combina-

tions poll. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 125 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups 5.3.2.2 RRM Group Menu When the user chooses an existing RRM group from the RRM Groups listbox in the Configuration Main Menu page, pressing the Configure button displays the RRM Group Menu. The RRM Group Menu has two sub-menus:

General Options When the user presses this Configure button, the 9150 displays the Configure Existing RRM Group screen. RRMs When the user selects the name of an existing RRM from the listbox, then presses this Configure button, the 9150 displays the RRM Options screen for that RRM. There is also a selection in the listbox, Create New, for adding a new RRM. The RRM Group Menu also has a Main Menu button to return to the Configuration Main Menu page. 126 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration RRM Groups GENERAL OPTIONS: CONFIGURE RRM GROUP In this screen, the user can select general options for this RRM group. The options in this screen are the same as the options in the Configure New RRM Group screen (see page 120). The Delete button at the bottom of the screen allows you to delete the currently-displayed RRM Group from the RRM Groups list. When choosing to delete an RRM Group, you will be prompted for confirmation of the deletion, which will give you the opportunity to cancel the action. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 127 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Radio Link Features 5.3.3 Radio Link Features From the Radio Link Features option under Base Station Configuration (see Figure 5.2 on page 101), entering Configure will open the Radio Link Features page for the polling and cellular parameters. Operate in Cellular Mode To operate as a Wlan base station, this parameter should be enabled ( ). For further information see Wlan Protocol on page 11. Note: The 9400 Network Controller must also be set to cellular mode. Automatic Radio Address Assignment Range Each Teklogix terminal using the radio link has a unique radio address number, which can be assigned automatically by the 9150 by enabling this parameter. Currently this feature is only supported through the 802.IQ protocol (for informa-

tion on 802.IQ configuration, see pages 64 and 192). To enable this parameter, the values for the first and last radio address numbers must lie between 1 and 3840. The default values for the range are 1024 ... 2084. To disable the parameter, set the values to 0. Notes: When enabling this parameter:

1. Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm must be disabled (see page 130). 2. The Auto ID parameter in the terminal must be enabled in order for the radio address to be automatically assigned. 128 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Radio Link Features 3. Do not enable Auto Startup (see page 65) on any of the 9150 base sta-

tions running 802.IQ with sessions using Automatic Radio Address Assignment Range and Automatic Terminal Number Assignment Range. Automatic Terminal Number Assignment Range A terminal number is assigned for every TESS and ANSI application session created in a terminal. This number defines the terminal number for each session and uniquely identifies all transmissions to and from that session. To enable this parameter, the values for the first and last terminal numbers must lie between 1 and 3840. The default values for the range are 0 ... 0. To disable the parameter, set the values to default. Notes: When enabling this parameter:

1. Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm must be disabled (see page 130). 2. The Auto Session parameter in the terminal must be enabled in order for the terminal session number to be automatically assigned. 3. Do not enable Auto Startup (see page 65) on any of the 9150 base sta-

tions running 802.IQ with sessions using Automatic Radio Address Assignment Range and Automatic Terminal Number Assignment Range. Poll ID In Wlan protocol, this is a unique identifying number set only in a 9150 master base station, 9150 mini-controller or a network controller, which is used in the poll header when polling terminals. Poll ID is set by Psion Teklogix personnel. In Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol for narrow band radios, Poll ID is used to assign a unique address to each base station. As the terminals move from one base station to another, this address is transmitted by the base stations to the terminals, identifying each 9150 in a multiple base station system. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 129 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Radio Link Features Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout This parameter determines the time in minutes that a terminal can be inactive before the 9150 declares it offline. Before this happens, the terminal will be declared offline by the Percent Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout parameter (see below). After the terminal is removed from the system, it will need to re-initialize in order to communicate with the 9150. This parameter reduces the overhead on the radio link caused when terminals which are not communicating are supported. The allowable values range from 1 to 240. Note: This parameter is not relevant for Wlan. Percent Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout This parameter determines the time that a terminal is allowed to be inactive before the 9150 declares it offline. This time is expressed as a percentage of the Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout parameter (see above). For example, if the Polling Proto-

col Terminal Timeout is 60, and this parameter is set to 75%, then the timeout would be 60 min x 75% = 45 minutes. An offline terminal is still considered part of the system. Messages to offline termi-

nals are queued at the 9150. The terminal remains offline until it transmits an online message. Values for this parameter range from 50 to 90. Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm Enabling this parameter allows the TekTerm program resident in Teklogix terminals to connect directly to the 9150, when it is acting as a base station to a host via TCP/IP. 130 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Hosts Menu 5.4 Hosts Menu When the 9150 acts as a base station, it must communicate with a host - a 9400 Network Controller, or a host computer using a Teklogix Software Development Kit

(TSDK). The drop-down menu in the Mini-Controller Configuration: Hosts option in the Configuration Main Menu page shows the host names present on the system. Up to six hosts can be supported. A host must be configured for each master network controller, TSDK host, or master base station that communicates with the 9150. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 131 Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Hosts Menu Opening the Configure dialog box for a selected host lists the parameters that can be modified or deleted for that host. New hosts can be added by selecting [#]

Create New in the drop-down menu before entering the Configure dialog box. Name This parameter indicates the assigned host name. The host name also appears on the RF terminal when switching between hosts in a multiple-host environment. Note: The name must not contain space characters. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( ) for terminals to communicate with this host. Emulation and Protocol This drop-down menu provides a list of host emulations and communication protocols supported by the 9150. Protocols are the methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various physical media such as Ethernet and radio-link connections. 132 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration Hosts Menu The supported emulations with their respective protocols are:

9010/ TCP/IP (See page 135 for configuration parameters). 3274/Telnet (See pages 149 to 164 for Configuration Parameters). 5250/Telnet (See pages 165 to 179 for Configuration Parameters).

ANSI/Telnet (See pages 180 to 190 for Configuration Parameters).

RF Modem (See page 191 for Configuration Parameters). When the 9150 functions as a base station, it communicates with a 9010/ TCP/IP host. The 9010 protocol is a proprietary asynchronous protocol developed by Psion Teklogix which uses TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) or ANSI data streams to communicate with terminals. For detailed information, please refer to the appropriate Teklogix User Manual for: 9400 Network Controller, TSDK, TESS or ANSI. However, when the 9150 acts as a mini-controller, it uses the 3274 and 5250 emula-

tion protocols to communicate with IBM hosts, or the ANSI emulation protocol to communicate with ANSI hosts. For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a mini-controller, please refer to Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration. Terminal Range The values entered in this parameter designate the first and last terminals in the range of terminals that will communicate with the host. These terminal numbers are mapped to this particular host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 133

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 139 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Overview 6.1 Overview The network controller in a Teklogix system performs a number of important tasks. One of these tasks is emulation: the translation of data between the protocol of the host computer and the protocol used by Teklogix terminals. The data which is sent from a host computer to a terminal to provide its display, and returned to the host as a result of operations at the terminal, is called a data stream. Host computers can provide data streams of various types to their terminals. Teklogix terminals can directly accept only two types of data stream: TESS and ANSI. TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) is the proprietary data stream used by Teklogix terminals. ANSI data streams are a standard type of data stream used by wired ANSI terminals. Other types of data stream provided by the host must be converted into TESS or ANSI before Teklogix terminals can work with them. This translation is done by emulation software in a network controller. The 9150 is equipped with emulation capabilities, allowing it to act as a mini-

controller. When a 9150 is configured as a mini-controller, Teklogix terminals can emulate an ANSI, 5250 or 3274 terminal via a 9150 rather than through a 9400 Network Controller. Using the RF Modem/Telnet emulation, the 9150 can also communicate with a Teklogix 6040 RF Modem. Important:

9150s acting as mini-controllers are designed for small, low-

transaction sites. A 9400 Network Controller is required for systems that support more than 50 terminals. Acting as a mini-controller, the 9150 can support up to 32 additional networked base stations and up to 50 terminals. A 9150 mini-controller can also manage wireless LAN configurations. A 9150 configured as a mini-controller can support the following emulations:

5250 emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN. 3274 emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN.

ANSI emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN.

RF Modem emulation using TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN. Note: The 9150 main parameters should first be set up as described in Chapter 3:

9150 Main Configuration. The 9150 can also be integrated into a mapRF system, using 802.IQv2 protocol (for details, please refer to the 802.IQ V2 Features Menu on page192). Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 141

municates with the 9150 mini-controller. Opening the Configure dialog box for a selected host lists the parameters that can be modified or deleted for that host. New hosts can be added by selecting [#] Create New in the drop-down menu before entering the Configure dialog box. Name This parameter indicates the assigned host name. The host name also appears on the RF terminal when switching between hosts in a multiple-host environment. Enabled The Enabled option must be turned on ( ) for terminals to communicate with this host. 144 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration Hosts Menu Emulation and Protocol This drop-down menu provides a list of host emulations and communication proto-

cols supported by the 9150. Working with Teklogix terminals and base stations, the 9150 can emulate IBM 3278-2, 5251-11, and 5555-B01 terminals, as well as ANSI terminals and RF Modems. Protocols are the methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various media such as Ethernet and radio-link connections. The 9150 supports the TCP/IP protocol. The supported emulations with their respective protocols are:

9010/ TCP/IP (See page 149 for Configuration Parameters). 3274/Telnet (See pages 149 to 164 for Configuration Parameters). 5250/Telnet (See pages 165 to 179 for Configuration Parameters).

ANSI/Telnet (See pages 180 to 190 for Configuration Parameters).

RF Modem/Telnet (See page 191 for Configuration Parameters). When the 9150 acts as a base station, it uses the 9010 emulation (a proprietary asynchronous protocol developed by Psion Teklogix) to communicate with a 9400 Network Controller or a host using a Teklogix Software Development Kit (TSDK). For detailed information on configuring the 9150 as a base station, please refer to Chapter 5: Base Station Configuration. When the 9150 acts as a mini-controller, it uses the 3274 and 5250 emulation protocols to communicate with IBM hosts, or the ANSI emulation protocol to com-

municate with ANSI terminals. To communicate with a Teklogix 6040 RF Modem, the 9150 uses the RF Modem/Telnet emulation protocol. Terminal Range The values entered in this parameter designate the first and last terminals in the range of terminals that will communicate with the host. These terminal numbers are mapped to this particular host. Terminal numbers may range from 1 to 50. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 145

Enabling this parameter causes the standard IBM formatting codes (for start of field, setting buffers, etc.) to be replaced by the codes used by Fujitsu host computers. Use International EBCDIC If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller uses the International EBCDIC character set, swapping the positions of the ! and ] characters. Alarm When this parameter is enabled, terminals beep when the word ALARM appears on the application screen in the location specified by the Command Region parame-

ter (see page 160). The word ALARM should be a display-only field. Note: The Command Region parameter must be enabled for this parameter to work. Clear If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller creates an empty entry field for an entry field that is filled with spaces. Some host applications rely on the video attributes of displayed characters to high-

light fields, particularly entry fields. For example, the application screen may define all entry fields with reverse video and fill the field with spaces. This is effective on terminals that support reverse video, but on terminals that do not, it can make the field invisible since it is made up entirely of spaces. By default, all empty entry fields displayed at the Teklogix terminal are highlighted by the entry character chosen in the terminals configuration (not all Teklogix ter-

minals support video attributes). Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data sent to the host remains unaffected. Passthru If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to send data directly to the RF terminals serial port. This is most commonly used for printing. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 151 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through On the screen to be sent through the terminal serial port, the word PASSTHRU (in capital letters) must appear on the first line, starting on the second column. The actual data to be sent to the terminal may start anywhere below the first line. With 5250 or 3274 emulations, attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word PASSTHRU will push all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required attributes should occupy column 1 of the first line (just preceding the word PASSTHRU). Example:

column: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 line 1: @ P A S S T H R U @

line 2: @ P A R T : 1 2 3 4 5 where @ is an attribute. When the 9150 is finished sending the data to the terminals printer, it will send an ENTER key to the host. The host must wait for the ENTER key before sending any more screens (including other PASSTHRU screens) to this terminal. Note: Refer to the Terminals User Manual for information about setting parameters on the terminal for pass-through. Procedures If this parameter is enabled, the host may send TESS procedures through the 9150 to the terminals. A TESS procedure is a group of TESS commands that can be exe-

cuted by the TESS execute procedure command. Local If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to provide pages to be loaded as local TESS procedures in the terminals. The local procedures are selected from a menu at the terminal. The terminals can perform these procedures when they are offline. Later when the terminals are online, they send the results of these functions to the host. 152 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Note: The Procedures parameter must also be enabled for Local to work. Host Print When this parameter is enabled, the host can send extra data to the terminals screens, and instruct the terminal to print it. This is in contrast to the Local Print fea-

ture, where the terminal makes the initial print request. The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into the 24 x 80 application screen. If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The 9150 identifies the additional text as a print page by the presence of the word PRINT (in capital let-

ters) beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. The word PRINT should be defined as display-only text. The print page is positioned below the terminals display page (see the following figure). The size of the print page is always the same as the terminals display page

(assuming that in the terminals configuration, the page length is less than 12 lines). When Host Print is enabled, the 9150 passes the print page to the terminal after receiving the application screen from the host. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Display Page (8 x 40) PRINT Print Page (8 x 40) Figure 6.3 Application Screen With Print Page Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 153 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Notes:

1. Unlike the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape commands can be sent to the printer. 2. Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal in its Printer command under the TESS Features menu; refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information. Remote Print When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the print page to a terminal when-

ever the terminal requests it (by sending the F17 function key from the terminal, or the PRINT key on older terminals). The 9150 sends the function response back to the host. This is in contrast to Host Print, where the host makes the initial print request. Note:

Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal. Refer to the Terminals User Manual or the Parameter Guide for more information. Pages This parameter determines the number of host screens (or pages) stored at the terminal, to a maximum of 16. The 9150 reduces data transmitted to the terminals by using the terminals capability to store a page of data for each screen it displays. The 9150 maintains an image of each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries to match the screen with a stored page. If a similar page is already in the terminals memory, the 9150 instructs the terminal to redisplay its copy of the page; only the necessary changes are sent from the controller. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the terminal over the radio link. Note: There is a corresponding parameter on the terminal itself, and the actual number of saved pages will be the smaller of the two values. 154 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Transmit Line When this feature is enabled, all modified data at the terminal is automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into a transmit-upon-entry field. The value in this textbox specifies the line on the screen which is designated the transmit line. The last entry field above or on the transmit line on the screen will be identified as the transmit-upon-entry field. If any entry fields exist on lines below the transmit line, no entry field will be designated as the transmit-upon-entry field. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. A value of 24 designates the last entry field on each application screen as transmit-upon-entry. AIAG This parameter provides auto-locate and fill for input coming from bar code readers. When bar code data is entered at a terminal, the terminal searches for AIAG fields on the current page that can accept the bar code data. The data preloaded into the AIAG field by the application program determines whether or not the bar code data is accepted. At the 9150 mini-controller, a decimal value of an ASCII character from 0 to 127 is set to match the AIAG Field Identifier set at the host. A value of 0 disables this feature. The format of the preloaded data is as follows:

<mode> <AIAG prefix(data)>

The mode character used with the command allows for different operating modes to suit various application operations. The automatic locate and fill operation applies only to data received from a bar code reader. Descriptions of the modes and AIAG prefix are listed in Table 6.1 on page 156. These modes are set at the host. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 155 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Mode 0 1 2 3

Add 4 to above values to cause transmit to host when all AIAG fields with 4 set are filled. Function 0 is pressed if there are any fields with this bit set, and all fields with this bit set have been filled by operator input. Add 8 to above values to allow overwrite of previously entered data. Add 16 to above values to indicate cursor position priority for search and fill. AIAG Prefix

Because Mode 0 was set at the host, the AIAG Prefix I is displayed on the terminal screen, and when this screen is completed, the prefix will be sent back to the host. AIAG Information From Host To Terminal Screen AIAG Field Identifier Item No.

I AIAG Prefix (data) Figure 6.5 AIAG Field Sent To The Terminal Visible Match Character By inserting a special ASCII character directly before an entry field, the application program distinguishes a match field from an entry field. For example, suppose an angle bracket > is defined for visible match fields. Inserting > immediately preceding the entry field identifies it as a match field, as illustrated below. Part #> ___________ The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. To use the Visible Match feature, the host computer preloads data into a match entry field; the data is visible on the terminal screen. The preloaded data sent to a terminal can consist of exact characters, special match characters or a combination of the two. Refer to Table 6.2 on page 158 for match characters recognized by Teklogix terminals. If an entry does not match the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the terminal beeps, and the cursor moves to the first position in the match field. The operator can either make another entry in the match field, or move the cursor to a new field. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 157 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When an entry (even one that doesnt match the preloaded data) is made in a match field, the entry is sent to the host as part of the terminals modified data during the next transmission. Character Description

Match a number. Match a letter (either case). Match an uppercase letter. Match a lowercase letter. Match an alphanumeric character. Match a letter, number or space. Match a punctuation character. Match any character. Match all character positions in the field with the preceding character. Match any remaining characters, but not necessarily the remainder of the field, with the preceding character. Table 6.2 Match Characters Example:

Suppose you want to preload an entry field with a part number. If the part number is known, you can preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is needed, and the part number always begins with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen and four digits, the match string for the field would be: &&#### . Hidden Match Character Unlike data in a visible match field, the preloaded data in a hidden match field is not displayed at the terminal. Note: Refer to Visible Match Character on page 157 for detailed information about field matching. The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. 158 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Serial I/O Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by pre-

ceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field, the data will be sent to the terminals serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the terminals serial port. The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Print Line This parameter allows you to enter the starting line number of the print page in the application screen. A value of 1 causes the display page to be printed; a value of 0

(zero) disables this feature. Print Form Length This parameter sets the printers form length in lines. The range is 0 to 24. Barcode Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a bar code reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-input-

only by preceding the field with a special character. The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Entry Line This parameter contains the number of the first line displayed if there is no entry field in the upper-left portion of the screen, and if an entry field is at or below this line. The Entry Line parameter allows an automatic offset within the host screen, so that the area displayed by the terminal includes an entry field that would normally be out of bounds. Normally, Teklogix terminals only display the upper-left corner of the application screen because of their smaller display size. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 159 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Field Overhead This parameter contains the maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the 9150 to join them into one field. Sometimes the 9150 will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link. For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was 5, then these fields would be joined into one. Command Region This parameter defines a region of the host screen which the 9150 will examine for the presence of reserved commands. The four numbers in the Command Region textboxes represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. The first textbox of each pair contains the row number; the second contains the column number. The range of row values is 0 to 24; column values are 0 to 80. To define the last two lines of the host screen as the command region, for example, enter the values 23, 1 and 24, 80. Currently, the only command supported is ALARM (refer to page 151 for details on this command). When the word ALARM is placed anywhere within the command region, the 9150 will send a TESS beep command to the terminal. 160 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Protocol Options 6.4.3.2 This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page (see page 148). The 9150 displays this version of the Protocol Options page when you select the emulation/protocol combination of 3274/Telnet for this host. Terminal Type This parameter allows you to choose the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150 for this host. At present there is only one choice of terminal for 3274/Telnet:

the IBM 3278-2. Host Port This parameter allows you to enter a host port value for the selected 3274/Telnet host connection. The default value is 23. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 161 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4. First Local Terminal Port This parameter contains the local port number from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. The default value is 0. Local IP Address to Bind This parameter contains the IP address of the network adaptor in the 9150 from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 0. The default value is 0 (disabled). Actively Negotiate with Host If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 starts negotiations with the host during setup of the telnet connection. Not recommended for most hosts. Send IAC Interrupt Process as a System Request If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the IAC Interrupt Process request to the host as a 3274 System Request. Send IAC Break as an Attention Key If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the IAC Break request to the host as a 3274 Attention key. Auto-telnet This parameter enables you to disable or enable automatic connection of telnet sessions from terminals to this host. The choices provided are: Disable and Auto-telnet. The default value is Disable. 162 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each termi-

nal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 will automatically telnet to the host, both on startup and when the session is closed. Note: Auto-telnet sessions are only initiated for terminals which are online

(turned on and operating properly on the Teklogix RF network). Auto-telnet Host This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150 connects Auto-telnet sessions. Note: A host name placed in this textbox must be resolvable by the 9150:

the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host name may correspond to an entry in the 9150s host table, or the 9150 may be able to query a domain-name server. Any host name which can be used at the terminals TCP> prompt may be used here. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 163 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 3274/Telnet Function Key Mappings 6.4.3.3 This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Function Key Mapping page when you select 3274 emulation for this host. Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal. Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on this page. 164 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet 6.4.4 5250/Telnet 6.4.4.1 Emulation Options Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 165 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the 5250/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. With IBM 5250, or IBM 3274 emulation, the 9150 mini-controller converts the application data stream from the host to TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) commands. Some of the parameters in this page govern the conversion of the host screens to TESS. Write Error Code If advisory text is selected here, the 9150 sends error codes to the terminal screen as advisory text, which is written at the bottom of the screen. If screen text is chosen, the 9150 sends the error codes as regular screen text. Use International EBCDIC If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 will swap the positions of the ! and ] charac-

ters in the EBCDIC character table. Alarm If this parameter is enabled, terminals will beep when the word ALARM

(in capital letters) appears on the application screen, in the location specified by the Command Region parameter (see page 175). The word ALARM should be a display-only field. Note: The Command Region parameter must be enabled for this parameter to work. Clear If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller creates an empty entry field for an entry field that is filled with spaces. Some host applications rely on the video attributes of displayed characters to high-

light fields, particularly entry fields. For example, the application screen may define all entry fields with reverse video and fill the field with spaces. This is effective on terminals that support reverse video, but on terminals that do not, it can make the field invisible since it is made up entirely of spaces. 166 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet By default, all empty entry fields displayed at the Teklogix terminal are highlighted by the entry character chosen in the terminals configuration (not all Teklogix ter-

minals support video attributes). The Clear feature creates an empty entry field in place of an entry field filled with spaces. Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data sent to the host remains unaffected. Passthru If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to send data directly to the RF terminals serial port. This is most commonly used for printing. Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through On the screen to be sent through the terminal serial port, the word PASSTHRU

(in capital letters) must appear on the first line, starting on the second column. The actual data to be sent to the terminal may start anywhere below the first line. With 5250 or 3274 emulations, attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word PASSTHRU will push all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required attributes should occupy column 1 of the first line (just preceding the word PASSTHRU). Example:

column: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 line 1: @ P A S S T H R U @

line 2: @ P A R T : 1 2 3 4 5 where @ is an attribute. When the 9150 is finished sending the data to the terminals printer, it will send an ENTER key to the host. The host must wait for the ENTER key before sending any more screens (including other PASSTHRU screens) to this terminal. Note: Refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for information about setting parameters on the terminal for pass-through. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 167 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Procedures If this parameter is enabled, the host may send TESS procedures through the 9150 to the terminals. A TESS procedure is a group of TESS commands that can be exe-

cuted by the TESS execute procedure command. Local If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to provide pages to be loaded as local TESS procedures in the terminals. The local procedures are selected from a menu at the terminal. The terminals can perform these procedures when they are offline. Later when the terminals are online, they send the results of these functions to the host. Note: The Procedures parameter must also be enabled for Local to work. Host Print When this parameter is enabled, the host can send extra data to the terminals screens, and instruct the terminal to print it. This is in contrast to the Local Print fea-

ture, where the terminal makes the initial print request. The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into the 24 x 80 application screen. If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The 9150 identifies the additional text as a print page by the presence of the word PRINT (in capital let-

ters) beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. The word PRINT should be defined as display-only text. The print page is positioned below the terminals display page (see Figure 6.6 on page 169). The size of the print page is always the same as the terminals display page (assuming that in the terminals configuration, the page length is less than 12 lines). When Host Print is enabled, the 9150 passes the print page to the terminal after receiving the application screen from the host. 168 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Notes:

Display Page (8 x 40) PRINT Print Page (8 x 40) Figure 6.6 Application Screen With Print Page 1. Unlike the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape com-

mands can be sent to the printer. 2. Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal in its Printer command under the TESS Features menu; refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information. Remote Print When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the print page to a terminal when-

ever the terminal requests it (by sending the F17 function key from the terminal, or the PRINT key on older terminals). The 9150 sends the function response back to the host. This is in contrast to Host Print, where the host makes the initial print request. Note:

Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal level. Refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for more information. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 169 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Pages This parameter determines the number of host screens (or pages) stored at the terminal, to a maximum of 16. The 9150 reduces data transmitted to the terminals by using the terminals capability to store a page of data for each screen it displays. The 9150 maintains an image of each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries to match the screen with a stored page. If a similar page is already in the terminals memory, the 9150 instructs the terminal to re-display its copy of the page; only the necessary changes are sent from the con-

troller. If no match is found, the complete page is sent to the terminal over the radio link. Note: There is a corresponding parameter on the terminal itself, and the actual number of saved pages will be the smaller of the two values. Transmit Line When this feature is enabled, all modified data at the terminal will be automatically transmitted when the operator enters data into a transmit-upon-entry field. The value in this textbox specifies the line on the screen which is designated the transmit line. The last entry field above or on the transmit line on the screen will be identified as the transmit-upon-entry field. If any entry fields exist on lines below the transmit line, no entry field will be designated as the transmit-upon-entry field. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. A value of 24 will cause the last entry field on each application screen to be defined as transmit-upon-entry. AIAG This parameter provides auto-locate and fill for input coming from bar code readers. When bar code data is entered at a terminal, the terminal searches for AIAG fields on the current page that can accept the bar code data. The data preloaded into the AIAG field by the application program determines whether or not the bar code data is accepted. At the 9150 mini-controller, a decimal value of an ASCII character from 0 to 127 is set to match the AIAG Field Identifier set at the host. A value of 0 disables this feature. 170 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The format of the preloaded data is as follows:

<mode> <AIAG prefix(data)>

The mode character used with the command allows for different operating modes to suit various application operations. The automatic locate and fill operation applies only to data received from a bar code reader. Descriptions of the modes and AIAG prefix are listed in the table below. These modes are set at the host. Mode 0 1 2 3

+4

+8

+16 Function Display prefix, send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, send prefix to host. Display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Do not display prefix, do not send prefix to host. Add 4 to above values to cause transmit to host when all AIAG fields with 4 set are filled. Function 0 is pressed if there are any fields with this bit set, and all fields with this bit set have been filled by operator input. Add 8 to above values to allow overwrite of previously entered data. Add 16 to above values to indicate cursor position priority for search and fill. AIAG Prefix

Part #> ___________ 172 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. To use the Visible Match feature, the host computer preloads data into a match entry field; the data is visible on the terminal screen. The preloaded data sent to a terminal can consist of exact characters, special match characters or a combination of the two. Refer to the table below for match characters recognized by Teklogix terminals. If an entry does not match the preloaded data, the entry is displayed, the terminal beeps, and the cursor moves to the first position in the match field. The operator can either make another entry in the match field, or move the cursor to a new field. When an entry (even one that doesnt match the preloaded data) is made in a match field, the entry is sent to the host as part of the terminals modified data during the next transmission. Character Description

Match a number. Match a letter (either case). Match an uppercase letter. Match a lowercase letter. Match an alphanumeric character. Match a letter, number or space. Match a punctuation character. Match any character. Match all character positions in the field with the preceding character.

Suppose you want to preload an entry field with a part number. If the part number is known, you can preload the field with that part number. If more flexibility is needed, and the part number always begins with two alphabetic characters followed by a hyphen and four digits, the match string for the field would be: &&#### . Hidden Match Character Unlike data in a visible match field, the preloaded data in a hidden match field is not displayed at the terminal. Note: Refer to Visible Match Character on page 172 for detailed information about field matching. The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 disables this feature. The ASCII decimal value entered at the 9150 must coincide with the value set by the application program. Serial I/O Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by pre-

ceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field, the data will be sent to the terminals serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the terminals serial port. The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Print Line This parameter allows you to enter the starting line number of the print page in the application screen. A value of 1 causes the display page to be printed; a value of 0

(zero) disables this feature. Print Form Length This parameter sets the printers form length in lines. The range is 0 to 24. 174 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Barcode Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a bar code reader. The application program distinguishes an entry field as barcode-input-

only by preceding the field with a special character. The range for this parameter 0 to 127 represents the decimal values of ASCII characters. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature. Entry Line This parameter contains the number of the first line displayed if there is no entry field in the upper-left portion of the screen, and if an entry field is at or below this line. The Entry Line parameter allows an automatic offset within the host screen, so that the area displayed by the terminal includes an entry field that would normally be out of bounds. Normally, Teklogix terminals only display the upper-left corner of the application screen because of their smaller display size. Field Overhead This parameter contains the maximum number of characters allowed between two fixed fields which still allows the 9150 to join them into one field. Sometimes the 9150 will join two adjacent fixed fields and then send them as one field. This reduces the overhead on the radio link. For example, if two fields were 4 characters apart and this parameter was 5, then these fields would be joined into one. Command Region This parameter defines a region of the host screen which the 9150 will examine for the presence of reserved commands. The four numbers in the Command Region textboxes represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. The first textbox of each pair contains the row number; the second contains the column number. The range of row values is 0 to 24; column values are 0 to 80. To define the last two lines of the host screen as the command region, for example, enter the values 23, 1 and 24, 80. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 175 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Currently, the only command supported is ALARM (refer to page 166 for details on this command). When the word ALARM is placed anywhere within the command region, the 9150 will send a TESS beep command to the terminal. Protocol Options 6.4.4.2 This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page (see page 148). The 9150 displays this version of the Protocol Options page when you select the emulation/protocol combination of 5250/Telnet for this host. Terminal Type This parameter allows you to choose the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150 for this host. At present there are two choices of terminal for 5250/Telnet:

the IBM 5251-11 and IBM 5555-B01. 176 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Host Port This parameter allows you to enter a host port value for the selected 5250/Telnet host connection. The default value is 23. Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4. First Local Terminal Port This parameter contains the local port number from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. The default value is 0. Local IP Address to Bind This parameter contains the IP address of the network adaptor from which the first terminal will connect on outbound telnet sessions. First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 0. The default value is 0 (disabled). Actively Negotiate with Host If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 starts negotiations with the host during setup of the telnet connection. Not recommended for most hosts. Negotiate Virtual Device Name with Host If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 negotiates with the host to obtain a virtual device name for the telnet connection. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 177 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Virtual Device Name prefix This parameter specifies a prefix for the automatically-generated virtual device name. The device name on the host starts with the prefix, specifies the terminal (as a number), and specifies a session number (as a letter). For example, if the virtual device name prefix is TLX, the first session on terminal number 2 receives a virtual device name of TLX0002A. The prefix must use the SNA Type A character set, which includes uppercase letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, and the special characters $, #, and @. Lowercase letters are accepted and translated to uppercase characters. An SNA Type A character string must not begin with a number. Auto-telnet This parameter enables you to disable or enable automatic connection of telnet sessions from terminals to this host. The choices provided are: Disable and Auto-telnet. The default value is Disable. When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each termi-

nal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 will automatically telnet to the host, both on startup and when the session is closed. Note: Auto-telnet sessions are only initiated for terminals which are online

(turned on and operating properly on the Teklogix RF network). Auto-telnet Host This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150 connects Auto-telnet sessions. Note: A host name placed in this textbox must be resolvable by the 9150:

the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host name may correspond to an entry in the 9150s host table, or the 9150 may be able to query a domain-name server. Any host name which can be used at the terminals TCP> prompt may be used here. 178 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 5250/Telnet Function Key Mappings 6.4.4.3 This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Function Key Mapping page when you select 5250 emulation for this host. Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal. Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on this page. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 179 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5 ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5.1 The 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. Emulation Options Maximum Screen Size The Maximum Screen Size allows you to set the maximum required screen size in terminals, by rows and columns. This feature ensures the optimal use of memory when using the page saving option (see Page Saving on page 182). The range is a minimum setting of 24 x 80 to a maximum setting of 60 x 132. The default setting is 24 x 80. Host Timeout The Host Timeout is the interval (in ticks, or 60ths of a second) between bursts of data received from the host. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 15. 180 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet If the 9150 does not receive any characters from the host after this timeout has elapsed, it assumes that the host has finished sending data and is waiting for user input (in other words, it assumes that a screen of data has been completed). Important:

The Page Saving parameter (page 182) must be enabled in order to change the value in the Host Timeout parameter. Escape Timeout The Escape Timeout is the length of time (in ticks, or 60ths of a second) that the 9150 will hold an ESC received from the host, and consider the next received byte to be part of an escape sequence. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 12. When this timeout has elapsed, the host will have to send another ESC character to start an escape sequence. Note: This is especially important when an ESC is at the end of a data packet. Threshold The Threshold is the minimum number of bytes of update data for the terminal screen which must be received from the host before the 9150 will store the screen as a new saved page. The range is 0 to 999, with a default value of 200. Important:

The Page Saving parameter (page 182) must be enabled in order to change the value in the Threshold parameter. Echo If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses Smart Echo. This mode reduces the amount of data sent to the terminal by decreasing the number of radio transmissions. Ordinarily, when a character mode application is being used, each keystroke is sent to the host in one transmission, and the character is echoed by the host in another transmission. When Smart Echo is enabled, the 9150 will not send the host echo to the terminals if it matches the data sent from the terminal. Thus, the number of radio transmissions is reduced. This mode also reduces or eliminates the delay between typing a character on the keyboard and displaying the character echoed by the host. The maximum number of characters waiting for echo is 25. Any additional characters will be sent to the host but not displayed. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 181 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Notes:

1. This parameter also determines whether an ANSI parameter query is sent to the terminal. 2. Smart Echo also needs to be enabled at the terminal (refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual). Function Key Remapping If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 remaps the function keys for this host connection as defined in the Function Key Remapping page (page 190). Page Saving If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses page saving, reducing data transmitted to the terminals. The 9150 maintains an image of each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries to match the screen with a stored page. If the page is already in the terminal, the 9150 instructs the terminal to redisplay its stored copy of the page; no data need be sent across the radio link for that page. If the 9150 finds no match for the page, the complete page is sent to the terminal. The default value is enabled. Notes: When page saving is enabled, the number of saved pages is that which is set on the terminal. Refer to the appropriate Terminals User Manual for details. If using double byte character sets, such as Chinese or Korean, please refer to the Page Saving Consider Double Byte Character parameter, below. Page Saving Consider Double Byte Character When using double byte character sets such as Chinese or Korean, Page Saving (see above) will allow a double byte character to be partially overwritten, which can lead to a single byte of unprintable screen data or a new unintended character made up of two halves of different characters. Also, the terminal may shift data on the screen to truncate the bad data. 182 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet When Page Saving Consider Double Byte Character is enabled, Page Saving will replace any orphaned double byte character half with a space to prevent modified characters and truncated data from being displayed on the terminal. The default value is disabled. Note: This option should only be used when using double byte character sets. RLE If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 uses run-length encoding (RLE) on the data it sends across the radio link. RLE compresses repeated characters going from the host to the terminal. If repeated characters are found in the data stream, the first one is sent, followed by a short escape sequence (3 or 4 characters) which tells the terminal how many times to repeat this character. In this way RLE compresses the data and decreases the total amount of radio-link traffic. Convert 7 to 8 Bits If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 converts 7-bit control sequences to their 8-bit equivalents in ANSI data streams going to the terminals. This replaces two-charac-

ter escape sequences with a single equivalent character, compressing the data. Protocol Options 6.4.5.2 This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page. When you select the emulation/protocol combination of ANSI/Telnet for this host the 9150 displays the version of the Protocol Options screen shown on page 184. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 183 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet 1 Terminal Type This parameter specifies the type of terminal to be emulated by the 9150. The char-

acters entered in the textbox can be any ASCII string acceptable to the host, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default value is VT100. 184 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Host Port This parameter specifies the value for the host port for the selected ANSI host con-

nection. The default value is 23. Maximum Sessions per Terminal This parameter contains the maximum number of telnet sessions which are allowed to originate from each terminal. The range is 0 to 127, with a default value of 4. Close Host Sessions on Terminal Reset When this parameter is enabled, and a terminal reset message is received, the Host session for that terminal number will be closed. The default value is disabled. First Local Terminal Port This parameter specifies the port number from which the 9150 attempts a telnet con-

nection for the first terminal. The default value is 0. Additional telnet sessions are assigned higher port numbers. Local IP Address to Bind This parameter specifies the IP address of the 9150 interface that connects to this host. It is used along with the local port numbers to create a unique socket for each terminal session. First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 0. The default value is 0 (disabled). TCP Session Request Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to request a new ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 1. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 185 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Session Cycle Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to display the next ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 2. Last Active Session Key This parameter contains the decimal ASCII character code of the character which will prompt the terminal to display the last ANSI terminal session. The range is 0 to 255, with a default value of 5. Auto-telnet/login Enable This parameter enables you to disable or enable automatic connection of telnet ses-

sions from terminals to this host. The choices provided are: DISABLE; AUTO-

TELNET; AUTO-TELNET/LOGIN. The default value is DISABLE. When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be initiated manually from the terminals. When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each termi-

nal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually. Note: Auto-telnet sessions are only initiated for terminals which are online

(turned on and operating properly on the Teklogix RF network). When Auto-telnet and Auto-login are enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each terminal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. It then logs each session in to the host using the User ID and Password provided in this page. Note: The User ID and Password is identical for all Auto-telnet sessions automatically logged in to this host. 186 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Auto-telnet Host This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150 connects Auto-telnet sessions. Note: A host name placed in this textbox must be resolvable by the 9150:

the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host name may correspond to an entry in the 9150s host table, or the 9150 may be able to query a domain-name server. Any host name which can be used at the terminals TCP> prompt may be used here. Auto-telnet Terminal Prompt This parameter contains the text presented to the user to request a login. The charac-

ters can be any ASCII string, or a numeric escape sequence presented in octal or hexadecimal digits. An octal escape sequence takes one of the forms: \0d, \0dd, or \0ddd, where each d can be any digit from 0-7. If ddd is greater than decimal 256, the code value of the represented character will be the remainder of the decimal ddd/256. A hexadecimal escape sequence takes one of the forms: \xh or xhh, where each h can be any digit from 0-9, or any alpha value from a-f or A-F. Note:

\0 is considered a character, with a code value of 0. The allowable value is a maximum of 60 characters in the line. The default is no text, just press <ENTER> to login. Auto-login User ID This parameter contains the user ID presented by the 9150 to the host for the Auto-login sessions. The characters can be any ASCII string acceptable to the host, with a maximum of 32 characters. Auto-login Password This parameter contains the password presented by the 9150 to the host for the Auto-login sessions. The characters can be any ASCII string acceptable to the host, with a maximum of 32 characters. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 187 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Auto-login User ID prompt The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent its request for a user name, and it sends the user ID specified in the Auto-Login User ID parameter to the host. The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default text is gin:. Note: The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the user-ID prompt. Do not include multi-part words separated by space characters, since some hosts send out characters other than space characters to present a space on the screen. Auto-login Password prompt The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent its request for a pass-

word, and it sends the password specified in the Auto-Login Password parameter to the host. The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default text is word:. Note: The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the password prompt. Do not include multi-part words separated by space characters, since some hosts send out characters other than space characters to present a space on the screen. Auto-login failed login The 9150 compares the text in this textbox to the text presented to it by the host. When they match, the 9150 assumes that the host has just sent a string informing the terminal of a failed login attempt. The 9150 then presents the Auto-telnet Terminal Prompt on the terminals screen to request the user to login manually. The characters can be any ASCII string, with a maximum of 32 characters. The default text is incorrect. Note: The match string should be as short as possible, yet long enough to uniquely identify the failed-login prompt. Do not include multi-part words separated by space characters, since some hosts send out characters other than space characters to present a space on the screen. 188 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Allow TCP Sessions When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows a terminal user to switch prompts or sessions while at the prompt (either Auto-login or TCP). If Allow TCP Sessions is disabled, all new sessions will open as Auto-login sessions. Requesting sessions (normally <CTRL> a on the terminal) can be used at the prompt level to change the type of prompt (if the other type of prompt is available). Switching sessions at the prompt level is also available (on the terminal as

<CTRL> b [next session], or <CTRL> e [last session]). When switching sessions at the prompt, the terminal state (not logged in) will be correctly adjusted to match that of the switching in session. The default value is enabled. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 189 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration ANSI/Telnet Function Key Mappings 6.4.5.3 This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version (page 191) of the Function Key Mapping page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combina-

tion for the host connection. 190 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration RF Modem/Telnet Function key n The Function Key parameter allows you to select a code that will be sent to the host when you press a function key on the terminal. Each function key may be chosen from the same range of possible codes; however, each function key has a different default code. The default values are shown on the screen above. 6.4.6 RF Modem/Telnet RF Modem/Telnet is intended for a controller communicating with a Teklogix Model 6040 RF Modem. The 6040 acts as a terminal on the Psion Teklogix network to allow serial devices to communicate over that network (see the 6040 RF Modem User Manual for details). Since the 6040 simply passes serial data through to con-

nected serial devices, there are no emulation or function key options. The 9150 dis-

plays this version of the Host Menu page after you have selected the RF Modem/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. Emulation Options 6.4.6.1 These parameters are not applicable to the RF Modem emulation. 6.4.6.2 This page differs depending on the type of emulation and protocol selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version of the Protocol Options page for the emulation/protocol combination RF Modem/Telnet for this host. ANSI Telnet Protocol Options (RF Modem) Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 191 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ V2 Features Menu First Terminal Listen Port This parameter specifies the first port number at which the 9150 will listen for telnet connection requests to the terminals. To enable this parameter, the value must be a minimum of 1024. To disable the listen port, the value must be 10000. The default value is 10000 (disabled). 6.4.6.3 These parameters are not applicable to the RF Modem emulation. Function Key Mappings 6.5 802.IQ V2 Features Menu This parameter accesses the 802.IQv2 sub-menu that enables the Psion Teklogix proprietary 802.11b enhanced protocol, as described in Psion Teklogix 802.IQ Protocol on page9. For detailed configuration information on 802.IQv1, please refer to 802.IQ Version 1 Configuration Menu on page64. 6.5.1 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration 802.IQ is a Psion Teklogix proprietary optimized protocol that enables terminals to operate on a wireless LAN in a network that supports both TCP/IP and 802.IQ pro-

tocol simultaneously. 802.IQ protocol is available in two versions: 802.IQv1 and 802.IQv2. The 9150 can support both versions of the protocol at the same time (ter-

minals must use only one). 802.IQv1 protocol is a wireless LAN protocol that provides greater performance in an 802.11b wireless network than is possible with TCP/IP. The 9150 bridges the 802.IQv1 wireless and TCP/IP wired networks. 802.IQv2 protocol is an enhanced version of the 802.IQv1 protocol that transports packets over the UDP layer. It provides all the 802.IQv1 functionality, with the added features of software upgrade capability over RF, the ability to add third-party access points between controllers and terminals, and integration into the mapRF system, if desired. Important:

802.IQ should only be enabled on wired 9150s. Do not configure 802.IQ on wired 9150s bridging networks, since 802.IQ beacons would be sent through the WDS link from one network to the other (see Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Configuration on page72). 192 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration The 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration page is entered from the 802.IQ v2 Features menu on the main web page, under Mini-Controller Configuration. 802.IQ v1/v2 Common Features 6.5.1.1 Auto Startup This parameter enables ( ) 802.IQ immediately when the 9150 is rebooted. When the 9150 is operating as a base station under a network controller or a 9150 mini-

controller, this parameter must be disabled. The default value is disabled. Important:

If Auto Startup is set incorrectly, terminals may not operate correctly. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 193 Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration 802.IQ Version 2 Configuration Beacon Period An 802.IQ beacon is a broadcast sent out to all 802.IQ-enabled terminals. The beacon allows terminals to determine when they have roamed between base stations. It enables a terminal to determine whether or not the base station or controller was rebooted and, if so, how to recover. If the controller was rebooted, the terminal closes all sessions and fully re-initializes. If the base station was rebooted, or if the terminal moved to a different 9150, a warm initialize is done (no data will be lost). The Beacon Period parameter acceptable value ranges from 1 to 20 seconds. The default value is 2. Terminal Offline Timeout This parameter sets the time (in minutes) before the 802.IQ task on the 9150 will send an offline message to the cellular master declaring the terminal offline. The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 240. The default value is 5. 802.IQ v2 Configuration Submenu 6.5.1.2 Enabled This parameter enables ( ) or disables the 802.IQv2 protocol. The default value is disabled. Beacon UDP Port This parameter identifies the UDP port for beacon broadcasts. If more than one 802.IQv2 controller is on the network, the parameter must be changed to separate the systems. The parameter must also match the corresponding parameter on the ter-

minal. The range of values is 5001 to 65535. The default value is 8888. Beacon Gateway Interface This is the interface on which the beacons are sent out. The default is [1] 10BaseT Ethernet. 194 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 9100 MONITORING/DIAGNOSTICS 7 7.1 Fault Monitoring . 197

Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 195 Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Fault Monitoring 7.1 Fault Monitoring Once power to a port is applied, the microcontroller enters a fault monitoring mode. The diagnostic functions are:

Low current condition

High current condition Power Monitoring (conducted regardless of port state) 7.1.1 Low Current Detection The microcontroller continuously checks ports in the ON state to determine if each/any is in an under-current condition (this will typically happen when the Ether-

net cable is disconnected or some other fault occurs). This ensures that a powered cable, when disconnected from a powered device, cannot be reconnected into some other device, possibly causing damage to a non-compliant device. If a Low Current condition is detected, then the power to the port is turned off. This process is carried out for each of the four ports during fault monitoring. Following a Low Current detection, the 9100 starts the discovery process again after a two-

second delay. This fault is indicated by a slowly flashing yellow LED. After a two-second delay, the 9100 will start the resistor detection again. 7.1.2 High Current Detection Once a port is enabled, a sense voltage is measured periodically by the microcon-

troller to ensure that it remains less than the maximum allowed voltage, otherwise an over-current fault occurs. A maximum continuous current of up to 350 mA is allowed. To allow for inrush currents, which may occur when a powered device is first connected (or the presence of a short or surge on the line), a hardware current-

limiting circuit ensures fail-safe output power control during the first 100mS follow-

ing port power-ON. Subsequently, the microcontroller will turn the port power OFF immediately upon detection of an overcurrent condition. Note: There is a five-second safety period before the 9100 begins resistor detec-

tion on a port that has triggered the overcurrent detection. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 197

Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Power Monitoring 7.1.3 Power Monitoring The 9100 power monitoring circuit constantly checks the operating condition of the internal power supply. If the power goes out of range, all ports are turned off, and all LEDs will be in Fast blink mode. 7.2 Diagnostics and Status Reporting The 9100 PowerBaseT console port consists of a UART port on the microcontroller, RS232 transceiver (U7) and a DB9 connector. Detailed information and the DB9 connector pinout is given on page B-4. The DB9 connector is used for the following functions:

Report Status Using a PC and HyperTerminal. Programming/Download Supports code updates by Field Service personnel. The microcontroller is required to provide the following functions:

Maintain port status Port off, Port on, fault

Maintain port control Port enabled, Port disabled

Report power consumption Monitor current flow using the current sensing circuit. The information in Figure 7.1 on page 199 is output on the console port every second. The frequency at which this information is updated is adjustable via a console command input. It can be set anywhere from never to 65,535 seconds, in one-second increments. Serial port settings are 19,200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. Note: High and Low Current Detection:

A fault condition will be indicated by the LEDs and on the console until the fault is cleared, either by the resistor detection for that port succeeding and the port being switched ON, or disabling and re-enabling the port from the console. 198 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual

When the port is activated, it transitions to the OFF state. OFF In this state the 9100 is constantly performing the auto-detect algorithm, looking for 9150DCs connected to the port. When a 9150DC is found, the port will transition to the ON state. ON A 9150DC has been found, and DC power is switched on. The port is constantly monitored for fault conditions. If everything remains within operating specifica-

tion, the port will remain in the ON state. Fault conditions may transition the port to the Low Current fault or High Current fault state. Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual 199 Chapter 7: 9100 Monitoring/Diagnostics Diagnostics and Status Reporting Low Current fault A 9150DC that was previously being powered on this port has either been dis-

connected, or is not operating correctly. The 9100 will remove power from the port and remain in this state for a minimum of two seconds before transitioning to the OFF state. The port will continue to indicate the Low Current fault until it either transitions to the ON state, or is disabled via the console. High Current fault A 9150DC that was previously being powered on this port is drawing too much current from the 9100, or there is a short in the connecting cabling. The 9100 will remove power from the port and remain in this state for a minimum of five seconds before transitioning to the OFF state. The port will continue to indicate the High Current fault until it either transitions to the ON state, or is disabled via the console. 200 Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual SPECIFICATIONS 8

* The 9150DC can also accept 48 VDC power bias on the data line pairs (1,2) and (3,6) from such systems providing power over Ethernet. Note: Usually, a straight-through connection is needed to connect Twisted-Pair

(10BaseT or 100BaseT) to the hub. Important: For Main Logic Board (MLB) P/N 30183-301 Rev F only: When connecting the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the 9150T (AC power ver-

sion), ensure that the snap-on ferrite for cables (P/N 97776) is placed on the cable as closely as possible to the RJ-45 jack. To determine which version of the MLB is resident in your 9150, please contact Psion Teklogix Support Services (see page A-1).
