Test your application and web pages the same way that you set up the
sample application and web pages.
To run your application
1 Copy your .exe files to the CGI-BIN directory for your web server.
Note: If you put your CGI scripts in a different directory than CGI-
BIN, you may need to modify your HTM files to tell them where to
look for the CGI scripts.
2 Copy your .htm files to the HTML or home directory for your web
server.
3 Start your web server.
4 From the Start menu, select Intermec > dcBrowser > local dcBrowser
gateway. A DOS window appears.
5 Configure the local dcBrowser gateway. For help, see "Configuring the
Local dcBrowser Gateway" in the next section.
6 From the Start menu, select Intermec > dcBrowser > run simulator. A
simulator window appears. Press Ctrl-F1 to change the screen size.
When you configure the local dcBrowser gateway, you must define Device
0, which is the default configuration. Any devices that communicate with
the same web server and require the same home page do not need a unique
configuration. When a device connects to the gateway and it doesn't have
its own configuration (as determined by the device's IP address), the
gateway assigns it a new device ID and uses the Device 0 configuration.
This device ID and configuration appear in the dcBrowser Device Mapping
Configuration table. An asterisk by the device number indicates that this
device uses the Device 0 configuration. After you start the simulator in a
test environment with no unique device configurations, a device with IP
address 127.0.0.1 appears in the table.
You must create a unique configuration for any devices that do not
communicate with the host defined for Device 0 or that need a home page
different from Device 0. Assign the device a unique device number, and
then fill in the rest of the fields. The device number and configuration for
this device appear in the dcBrowser Device Mapping Configuration table.
No asterisk appears by the device number.
To configure the local dcBrowser gateway for the default configuration
Note: If you access the Internet by using a proxy server, you must add
127.0.0.1 to your Exceptions list. The Exceptions list contains the addresses
that you do not want to use with a proxy server.
1 Start the web browser.
