7 INTRODUCTION Seeing the need to combine wireless connectivity and telnet terminal emulation, MIRROR 5250/VT Emulator, is designed to provide telnet terminal emulation on CipherLab 9300/9400/9500CE/9600 Series Mobile Computers, which are capable of b/g or Bluetooth PAN networking. The software consists of CipherNet_TN for 5250 emulation and CipherNet_VT for VT100/220 emulation, each is a telnet client that allows the user to connect to a host computer of the same emulation type and make use of the applications running on it. Thus, the mobile computer works as an input device to a host computer that supports either VT100/VT220 or 5250 emulation. The data collected or input will be sent back to the host computer. On the other hand, the mobile computer works as an output device as well because it can display data coming in from the host. This manual serves to provide comprehensive understanding of MIRROR 5250/VT Emulator, and helps start a telnet session running host applications. We recommend that you read the document thoroughly before use and keep it at hand for quick reference. Thank you for choosing CipherLab products! 1

Specify the prompt strings that request you to enter username and password. They must be exactly the same as received from the host. Type user password to login the host system automatically if [Auto Sign On] is enabled. Specify the prompt strings that request you to enter username and password. They must be exactly the same as received from the host. Specify a macro frame if necessary. When starting a telnet session, the mobile computer will send a string of characters upon request from the server. When enabled, it will operate in line buffer mode. When enabled, it will echo typed text locally on the mobile computer. Select an appropriate font size for the host screen to be displayed properly on your mobile screen. Options include 5 10, 6 12, 8 10, Select the terminal type of the host system VT100, VT102, VT220 or ANSI. By default, this feature is disabled. The host will request Username and Password every time the mobile computer attempts to log on. If this feature is supported by the host, select the check box so that the mobile computer can be allowed to automatically log on to the host. 15

22 MIRROR VT/5250 Terminal Emulation User Guide Cursor Tracking For this feature to work properly, Username/Password and each prompt string must be specified correctly and cannot exceed 20 characters. This feature is enabled by default. The terminal screen will automatically adjust itself so that the cursor will always be visible on the screen. Thus, every screen received from the host will be displayed with the cursor visible to indicate the first input field. When you disable the Cursor Tracking feature, the coordinates (0,0) on the terminal screen are related to (0,0) on the host screen. Thus, every screen received from the host will be first displayed starting from (0,0) regardless of the cursor. The relationship between the terminal screen (small) and the host screen (large) is based on the upper-left point of the screens (see above). The cursor is outside of the terminal screen. To view the hidden information or locate the cursor, you need to adjust the terminal screen manually. This feature only works when a screen refresh incident occurs on the host. te: If any of the prompt strings of the host system exceeds 20 characters, you will fail to sign on automatically. 16

Select a decode security level appropriate for the barcode quality when reading delta barcodes such as Code 128, Code 93, UPC/EAN. Security Level 0 This default setting allows the scan engine to operate in its most aggressive state, providing sufficient security in decoding most in-spec barcodes. Security Level 1 Select this option if misdecodes occur. This level should eliminate most misdecodes. Security Level 2 Select this option if Security Level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes. Security Level 3 Select this option if Security Level 2 also fails to eliminate misdecodes. However, selecting this option impairs the decoding ability of the scan engine. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the barcode quality. The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various barcode printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the scan engine from decoding a barcode. If this problem occurs, set it to Large Intercharacter Gaps to tolerate these out-of-specification barcodes. rmal intercharacter gaps Large intercharacter gaps Level 0 rmal SYMBOLOGY SETTINGS TABLE The symbology settings for the LR/ELR scan engine are all supported on the 2D scan engine.
