Battery Power Scheme; Ac Power Scheme; Setup Terminal Emulation Parameters - Honeywell MX8 User Manual

Battery Power Scheme

Use this option when the MX8 will be running on battery power only.
Switch state to User Idle
Switch state to System Idle
Switch state to Suspend

AC Power Scheme

Use this option when the MX8 will be running on external power (e.g., connected to an A/C power source).
Switch state to User Idle
Switch state to System Idle
Switch state to Suspend
The timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the
Suspend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to "Never",
the power scheme timers never place the MX8 in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the MX8 is idle).
Using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above, the cumulative effect results in the following:
• The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,
• The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15 seconds + 3 seconds),
• And the MX8 enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.

Setup Terminal Emulation Parameters

Before you make a host connection, you will, at a minimum, need to know:
• the alias name or IP address (Host Address) and
• the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system to properly set up your host session.
1. Make sure the mobile client network settings are configured and functional. If you are connecting over wireless LAN
(802.11x), make sure your mobile client is communicating with the Access Point.
2. From Start > Program, run RFTerm or tap the RFTerm icon on the desktop.
3. Select Session > Configure from the application menu and select the "host type" that you require. This will depend on the
type of host system that you are going to connect to; i.e., 3270 mainframe, AS/400 5250 server or VT host.
4. Enter the "Host Address" of the host system that you wish to connect to. This may either be a DNS name or an IP address of
the host system.
5. Update the telnet port number, if your host application is configured to listen on a specific port. If not, just use the default
telnet port.
6. Select OK.
7. Select Session > Connect from the application menu or tap the "Connect" button on the Tool Bar. Upon a successful
connection, you should see the host application screen displayed.
To change options such as Display, Colors, Cursor, Bar Code, etc., refer to these sections in the RFTerm Reference Guide for
complete descriptions of these and other features.
