    802.1X defines the changes necessary to the operation of a MAC bridge in order to support port-based access control. 802.1X provides a means for MAC bridges, such as the 9150 in access point mode, to block packet traffic from individual ports until appropriate authentication for the port has occurred.

The Psion Teklogix 7035, 8255, and 8260 terminals can act as supplicants. • Authenticator The “authenticator” is a MAC bridge that blocks packets originating from supplicants from being bridged to the wired network until the supplicant has been successfully authenticated.

    If a “collision” occurs – more than one terminal attempts to respond in a particular window – the 9150 that is polling divides and reassigns that group until the colliding terminals can respond without a collision.

    6.4.5 ANSI/Telnet 6.4.5.1 Emulation Options The 9150 displays this version of the Emulation Options page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combination for this host connection. Maximum Screen Size The Maximum Screen Size allows you to set the maximum required screen size in terminals, by rows and columns.
  • Page 206 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.
  • Page 207 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.

  • Page 208: Protocol Options

    Note: This option should only be used when using double byte character sets. 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.
  • Page 209 ANSI/Telnet 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.
  • Page 210 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.
  • Page 211 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.
  • Page 212 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.
  • Page 213 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.
  • Page 214 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.

  • Page 215: Function Key Mappings

    Function Key Mappings This page differs depending on the type of emulation selected in the General Host Options page. The 9150 displays this version (page 200) of the Function Key Mapping page after you have selected the ANSI/Telnet emulation/protocol combina- tion for the host connection.

  • Page 216: 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).

    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).

  • Page 218: Iq V1/V2 Common Features

    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.

  • Page 219: Iq V2 Configuration Sub-Screen

    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.
