Page 15: Introduction
Synchronous Data Link Control (SNA/SDLC). The radio products emulate IBM products that communicate using the 5250 data stream. The 5250 data stream governs the data flow between the host computer and wireless terminal emulation stations. It specifies what data can be displayed on the wireless station and how it must be positioned.
Page 16: Intended Audience
SECTION 1 Introduction " Two types of 5250 products are available: those for an IBM midrange host computer (such as System/36, System/38, and AS/400) and those for personal computers serving as host. This programmer’s guide describes products for IBM midrange host computers.

Page 21: Radio Network Description
Introduction " Radio Network Description A radio network using the 5250 data stream corresponds directly to an IBM 5250 hard-wired network. A controller emulates an IBM 5294 or 5394 Control Unit. Wireless sta- tions emulate IBM 5291 Display Stations. The radio link between a base radio and a wireless station replaces the coax link between a control unit and display station.

5294 Control Units with 8 LUs each. The LUs are located at SDLC addresses 1 through 8. This pro- vides up to 64 LUs and is suitable for IBM System/36 or System/38 host computers. 5250 Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Reference Guide...
Page 24: Figure 1-2 Controller Emulating 5294 Control Units
In either emulation, you can eliminate unused PUs by reducing, through the controller’s setup parameters, the number of LUs supported. Refer to the controller’s user guide for more information about setting up the controller. 1-10 5250 Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Reference Guide...

Page 26: Types Of Radio Networks
The information in this programmer’s guide applies to all wireless stations set up for 5250 terminal emulation. Wire- less stations have UHF, 900 MHz, or WLIF radios. Types of Radio Networks The following pages briefly describe how radio networks emulate an IBM 3270 hard-wired network.

To make a field “scan only” (prevent keyboard input) you can define the field as an I/O only field (for example, mag- netic stripe reader). This is sometimes referred to as “key- board shift, inhibit keyboard entry” in IBM documents. 5250 Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Reference Guide...
Page 255: How Scanning Works
The preceding paragraphs about “how scanning works” mention an exception for Encoded Code 39. Encoded Code 39 allows the bar code symbol to contain certain “escape se- quences” that can override the wireless station set-up just explained. 5250 Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Reference Guide...
Page 256: How Stream Scan Works
Implementation of Encoded Code 39 for the 5250 data stream is nearly identical with the 3270 data stream. The exceptions include some “escape sequences.” For full details of these changes refer to bar code parameters for Encoded Code 39 in Section 9, “Extended Commands.”...
