4 the blue Function menu or the blue special characters. Function keys (F1 – F20) can be programme d by many host systems, to be “hot keys” and select specific program items without navigating the entire program. The black [Shift] key toggles between upper and lower case mode and selects special characters on the numeric keypad.
5 6 (Down arrow) Moves the display screen down one line at a time or moves the display screen down one menu level. In terminal emulation, the <Shift> then < 6 > will move the screen up one whole page. 4 (Right arrow) Moves the cursor right one character at a ti me and toggles between menu selection options.
6 The M7100 Display Screen The M7100 handheld terminal includes a 160 pixel by 160 pixel grayscale graphical Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Programs can be written which mix text and graphics together on the display.
7 The Long Range laser engine uses a moving laser light with a highly sensitive laser detector. The long range laser is used when the barcodes are going to be a great distance from the operator. The lon g range laser includes a laser point (dot) feature to make it easy for the operator to aim at the barcode before it starts to read.
8 Reading distance for the Linear Imager and Code 39 Bar codes Reading distance for the Linear Imager and all other bar code symbologies..
9 Reading distance for the Standard Range Laser Reading distance for the High Density Laser.
10 Reading distance f or the Long Range Laser Reading distance for the Advanced Long Range Laser.
11 Reading distance for the 2D Area Imager Barcode symbologies are always measured in mils. This usually refers to the narrowest bar width. One mil equals 0.001”, therefore a 0.01 ” wide narrow bar would be a 10 mil barcode. Conversion: 1 mil = 0.
12 Scanner information and Labeling The M7100 Integrated Laser Scanner uses a low - power visible laser diode. Avoid star ing directly into the light beam. Momentary exposure to a CDRH Class II laser is not known to be harmful. Laser Classification: CDRH Class II Light Source: 630 – 680 nm laser diode Laser Output Power: 1.

14 The M7100 Internal Radio The M7100 Handheld Terminal comes equipped with an internal 802.11b radio and antenna. This internal radio is specifically designed to communicate with any 802.
15 points should be set for MAC filtering. When an access point has MAC filtering enabled, the only devices that can communicate through them are the ones which the MAC address has been set. The primary issue is that many current users of wireless LAN have opted NOT to turn on security features.
16 A Typical Wireless Network Ethernet Connectio n Wireless Access Point(s) (802.11b) Wireless Handheld Terminals (M7100) Personal Computer (Server).
17 GSM/GPRS Network Card Support The AML M7100 now supports GSM/GPRS network cards . When a GPRS network card comes installed in the M7100, the menus will be slightly different from the standard menus.
18 To review the GSM/GPRS settings, use the M7100 Menu System and select “Network Setup > Net I/F Settings” and see the settings main screen. The settings are selected by highlighting the proper item and hit ting the [ENTER] key. The information below is an example of how the unit might be set, your settings may be different.
19 Typical Valu es for the “GSM/GPRS Settings”: APN – Access Provider Name The character string specifying the cellular service provider ( e.g. internet2.voicestream.com ). Port – Linux port name This is a character string specifying the port name (usually “/dev/ttyS0”).
20 To determine if the GSM/GPRS card is functioning properly, use the M7100 Menu System and select “Network Setup” and one of the following screens should appear: If the screen does not say “ STAT: Connected ” then you are out of range of a GSM/GPRS Cellular Network, or you have the GSM/GPRS modem settings wrong.
21 The Optional M7100 Handle The M7100 has an optional “pistol grip” style handle for users who prefer the point and shoot style. The M7100 ha ndle is secured to the M7100 handheld terminal by 4 screws. The battery is then relocated in the handle for easy change - out.
22 The M7100 Communications Ports The M7100 has three types of communications ports on the bottom of the unit. The three ports are shown here. Description of the In fra - Red Detector Array Port (IrDA) 1. IrDA in (right side of window) 2. IrDA out (left side of window) Description of the RJ - 45 10 Pin Connector (RS - 232) 1.
23 The M7100 Cradle The M7100 Handheld Terminal has available, an optional charging and communications cradle. The cradle automaticall y charges the M7100 battery while it is resting in the cradle. The cradle also includes an extra slot to charge a spare battery.
24 The M7100 Cradle’s Communication Ports The M7100 handheld terminal has 2 different styles of communicati ons ports, RS - 232 (RJ - 45) and USB (Type II). The M7100 Cradle also has 2 communications ports, RS - 232 (DB - 9) and USB (Type II). The M7100 Communications Cradle uses a standard RS - 232 (DB - 9 Male – DB - 9 Female) cable.
25 The M7100 RF S erver Login This chapter describes the login functions o f the M7100 terminal. It also describes using Telnet and Terminal Emulation support. arning: If the M7100 Handheld Terminal has improper security and/or network settings, the terminal will fail to c onnect to any network devices.
26 If there is not a wireless Access Point (AP) for the handheld terminal to connect to, then the terminal will not proceed past this point. For help in determining the presence and strength of an Access Poin t’s transmission see the Network Diagnostics section of this manual.
27 Applications If you are using the CommandLink™ software, and the pro per User ID and Password are entered, then the Applications Menu is displayed. These are the programs that are available on the CommandLink™ Server for this user. Other users may see other programs depending on the settings in the CommandLink™ Administrator.
28 Console 2: Communications Session or User Program Console 3: Battery Warnings Console 4: Second Telnet Session Console 5: Linux prompt Console 6: Us er Defined Console 7: RESERVED Console 8: User Defined Console 9: RESERVED Each virtual console is running a different foreground application that uses the entire screen.
29 The M7100 has a built - in feature which makes it easy to see when the terminal is out of range of an access point. When the M7100 goes outside of RF coverage, the following screen appears. W hen the operator goes back into RF coverage, the “Out of Range” screen will automatically disappear and return the operator to where they left off.
30 The M7100 Menu System This chapter describes the Main Menu functions o f the M7100 Handheld Terminal. Main Menu ou may access the menu system by pressing the [Me nu] key on the M7100 handheld terminal. The menu screens pop - up in front of the currently displayed screen.
31 Contrast The contrast can be set by selection the “Contrast” function from the Main Menu. The 3 (left) and 4 (right) arrow keys can be used to fine - tune the contrast. The scroll bar below the Main Menu window shows the current contrast level.
32 Network Setup By selecting the Network Setup function from the Main Menu the wireless network adapter can be configured. The “Network Connection Info” dialog box displays the RF Status (RF) the curr ent IP Address (IP), Network Mask (MASK) and the MAC Address (MAC) of the wireless Ethernet card that is installed in the M7100.
33 Note: Enabling DHCP or BOOTP will cause the M7100 handheld terminal to take slightly longer to establish a connection to the RF network due to the ov erhead involved in obtaining network information from the server. Radio Settings (WEP) The Radio Settings allows the operator to set wireless network security settings.
34 In the example above, “AMLBURNIN” was chosen for the unique SSID name. Your unique name should be assigned by your local Systems Administrator. The wireless security settings are referred to as WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy ) can be left un - enabled or can be enabled fro m this menu .
35 To modify an encryption key set simply highlight the appropriate key set. Note that the number of key pairs will change depending on which encryption format you are using. Note: Some manufacturers will call their 40 bit encryption 64 bit encryption or call their 128 bit encryption 160 bit encryption; in any case they are the same settings.
36 The Auth setting determines what type of network system you are using. These two modes simply define how the above key sets will be used to encrypt the data sent over the radio. Whic hever mode is selected, the access point MUST be set to the same mode for communications to take place.
37 Radio Settings (W PA - PSK) The M7100 supports both WPA - PSK (Pre - Shared Key) and WPA - EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The WPA - PSK offers TKIP mode or AES - CCMP mode. The mode used must match the network the M7100 is to communicate with.
38 Radio Settings (W PA - EAP) The WPA - EAP offers PEAP, TLS and TTLS mode. The mode used must match the network the M7100 is to communicate with . The Shared Phrase must match the network the M7100 is to communicate with. The Username must match the network the M7100 is to communicate with.
39 Certificate Settings TLS When using TLS you must store the proper certificates onto the M7100 handheld terminal. The Certif icates and Shared Phrase must match the network the M7100 is to communicate with. Certificates can be generated from most web browsers such as Mozilla or IE.
40 Host Server List The Connection Settings determine how the M7100 Handh eld terminal will communicate to a host server over the RF network. When the M7100 Handheld terminal first powers up, it tries to establish a connection to an RF network. If this is successful, it will then start a Telnet session using the settings describ ed in this section.
41 The firs t session is on virtual console 2 and can be accessed by pressing [Alt] then [Func] then [2]. The second session is on virtual console 4 and can be accessed by pressing [Alt] then [Func] then [4].
42 Hosts Log - in Options For each host server listed, you can add special options to make logging into the hosts easier. While this feature makes it easy to log - in to a server, it also makes the server less secure. The information entered in this screen is unique to each host system and must be supplied by the local systems administrator.
43 Te rminal Options The Term setting determines what te rminal type the M7100 will emulate. The default setting is standard “VT100”. If you are using CommandLink™ software, set the Terminal type to “amlterm”.
44 Te rminal Emulation – vt 100 / vt220 The “vt100” terminal emulation is typically used for older server applications that do not support vt220 terminal emulation. It is recommended that the “vt220” emulation be used when possible. If a different term inal type is selected, then the optional features for that emulation are displayed.
45 The “Legacy” font is specifically designed for legacy applica tions where the screen size has been designed to work on a 16 row by 21 column screen size. Many older terminals were designed with this screen size only. When using Terminal Emulation you can not mix different size fonts on the same terminal screen .
46 When scrolling is disabled by un - checking the "Disable Scrolling" option, two screen location options are available. "Screen Loc x" and Screen Loc y" set the position of the M7100 viewable area relative to the upper left hand corner of the virtual tn5250 24x80 screen.
47 The Col Shift function determines how many columns the display will move each time the Shift <arrow> keys are used. This allows the operator to “pan around” the currently displayed screen. Use the left 3 and 4 right arrow keys to cha nge this setting.
48 Note that we have “scrolled” down to the bottom of the screen and do not have the Virtual 24x80 function selected. The Wraparound function tells the terminal to “wrap” long text strings onto multiple lines on the M710 0 screen. This can be very confusing when the data was originally formatted for a 24x80 text screen.
49 The Parse `` as Esc function is for certain Windows servers that can not accept the Esc key sequences. If this box is checked, the M7100 will sen d `` instead of Esc for these sequences. The ENQ: function will allow the M7100 to respond with a specific ENQ Answerback String whenever the host sends the unit an ENQ command.
50 The Map Ins as dash function allows for a quick way to insert a dash character ( - ) instead of the rarely used [Ins] key function. This is useful for quickly typing part numbers that inclu de the dash character (e.g. 123 - 456 - 789). The F5: function tells the M7100 what character string to send back to the host when the F5 key is pressed.
51 The Null Padding function is required on most server systems that use the traditional vt100 and vt220 emulations. The null padding can cause an error on some Win dows based servers. If you are experiencing problems with a Window’s based Terminal Emulation server, try un - checking the null padding option.
52 The string shown here will send a “ !#EOJ ” followed by a carriage return to the host computer system, when the F6 key is pressed. The n character string sends the new line (linefeed) character and is not shown above. The r character string sends a Carriage Return command and is after the string shown above.
53 Te rminal Emulation – tn5250 The “tn52550” terminal emulation is typically used for IBM AS/400 server applicatio ns. The AML tn5250 TE is designed to be a basic 5250 emulation. If optional features are required, it is recommended that either the Connect PowerNet TwinClient emulations or the Stay Linked emulation be used.
54 The Legacy font is specifically designed for legacy applications where the screen size has be en designed to work on a 16 row by 21 column screen size. Many older terminals were designed with this screen size only. When using Terminal Emulation you can not mix different size fonts on the same terminal screen.
55 The Disable Scrolling locks the cur sor to the upper left screen location. If Disable Scrolling is not checked then you can set the Follow Cursor function which moves the cursor to the current input field. The Col Shift function determines how many columns the display will move each time t he Shift <arrow> keys are used.
56 The Display Name function allows the user to program a specific terminal name. This name is then transferred to the host when the terminal logs onto the system. If you do not save your settings they will be lost when you exit the Network Settings screen.
57 The <Restart Network> function allows the new network to be restarted with all the new settings made i n the above menus. If an active host server is found, the M7100 will display the log - in screen of that server. If the host server can not be found, the M7100 Menu System will continue to be displayed.
58 When the M7100 goes into Sleep Mode, it turns off the internal radio card. On some host systems, this causes the current telnet session to be closed. Many users find it better to set the Sleep Timer to zero to prevent closed connections. Note: The power key wake - up feature is only available on units with Decoder version 2.
59 Diagnostics The “Dia gnostic Menu” has several powerful functions that can help pinpoint a variety of network problems. The Diagnostic menu can be used to determine connectivity to the network as well as connectivity to the server or host computer.
60 The “WLAN:” shows the current connection status reported by the internal RF card. This status can be a very use ful tool to determine if an RF connection is being made.
61 The “RF Strength” function can be used to test the RF coverage of a wireless RF local area network. Simply put the M7100 handheld terminal in “RF Strength” mode and walk in the area you want to have RF coverage, and you can quickly see areas with poor RF coverage.
62 Resource In formation The “Resource Information” function shows the memory usage and CPU allocation at the current time. The above display shows 72% of the virtual disk memory used, 52% of the Journaling File System (user) memory used and 95% of the static RAM memory used.
63 The “Ping Status” screen will show the M7100 handheld terminal trying to contact the listed IP Address. Once the connection is made the M7100 Handheld Terminal will continuously send p ackets of data to time the connection speed in milliseconds (ms).
64 Print Test Label The “Pri nt Test Label” function allows the operator test a serial or IrDA (Infrared Diode Array) printer through the serial or IrDA port on the bottom of the M7100 handheld terminal. There are two types of printers supported in the “Print Test Label” sub - me nu function.
65 Firmware Version The “Firmware Version” function displays the information abo ut the M7100 handheld terminals firmware version and the date and time it was created. Serial Number The “Serial Number” function displays the information about the M7100 handheld terminals serial number if your unit supports this function.
66 When the M7100 handheld terminal’s battery is completely depleted, a “Battery Low ” error screen is displayed signaling that you must replace the battery or place the unit in the charger for charging.
67 Ping USB Server The Ping USB Server function allows you to detect a USB server connected to the USB p ort. Hardware Tests The Hardware Tests function performs tests on the various M7100 hardware.
68 Local Settings, Laser & CCD Only Note: For instructions on setting the 2D Area Imager see Local Settings, Imager Only. The “Local Settings” function sets much of the M7100 handheld terminal’ s internal hardware and software.
