10 hours to charge. A discharged main battery takes two hours to recharge. When charging the batteries in the 6110 Computer, maintain the charge for a full 14 hours to ensure that both the backup battery and the main battery pack are fully charged.
Introduction Chargers and Docks To charge the batteries in your 6110 Computer, place the computer into a 6110 Dock or connect it to a charger. COM1 provides RS-232 and RS-485 communica- tions to the dock. The RS-232 interface on the dock supports RXD, TXD, RTS, CTS, and GND signals.
The touch screen controller provides x,y point informa- tion to the CPU whenever a touch is detected on the screen. External Keyboard When docked, you can attach a full keyboard to the 6110 Computer using an ex- ternal tray. Figure 1-2...

Put an ATA card in PC Card slot C to boot the 6110 Computer. Figure 1-4 shows a top view of the 6110 Computer, with the display facing down. Note the available PC Card slots. The card should face away from the screen when inserted into the slot.
Introduction System Memory (DRAM) The 6110 Computer supports 8, 16 or 32 MB of DRAM memory. You can upgrade to a larger memory size by having your Customer Support Center install a new memory board. However, the 8 MB configuration cannot be ordered for a Win- dows 95 system.
APM function calls, or you can modify certain configuration files to establish de- fault power management. Printers The 6110 Computer supports tethered and IrDA printing. Norand Portable Communications Protocol (NPCP) printing is supported only if you use the Inter- mec NPCP printing toolkit.
Introduction Processor The 6110 Computer is based on the ÉlanSC400 Processor operating at a maxi- mum speed of 99 MHz. This processor is modeled after the AMD Am486 CPU and contains an 8 KB write-back cache, integrated memory controller, PC/AT system logic, PC Card controller, LCD graphics controller, IrDA infrared port, and power management features in one integrated package.
Serial Pod B CAUTION: Pin 9 on the D-sub serial port connector is a power output pin from the 6110 Computer. Some devices may use pin 9 as a ring indicator signal and could be damaged by the power output on that pin. Before connecting to pin 9, make certain the device is modified appropriately to prevent damage to the device.

These programs port applications written for the 4000 Series platform to the 6110 Computer without modifying the display logic. 6110RTAT is a TSR program that provides screen rotation and FONTSEL switches between fonts which are already loaded, or loads a new user defined font.
Truncates the screen at the right margin. –PLN Applies hacks to support the PL/N error screen. –Disable Disables the screen rotation driver, which remains in memory, and can be reenabled by running it again. 4-28 6110 Hand-Held Computer Technical Reference dup(?) SECTION 4...

This section contains information applicable for converting 4000 Series applica- tions for use on the 6110 Computer. 4000 Series Conversion When applications are converted from a 4000 Series System to a 6110 Computer, consider the following information: Unsupported Files The following 4000 Series files are not used in 6110 configurations: File 10X16.EXT...
SOFTBIOS.EXT TNETBIOS.EXE XLMEMIO.BIN Changed Files The following 4000 Series Files are used differently on the 6110 Computer. You can make the changes as specified. CONFIG.SYS The extended CONFIG.SYS commands in the 4000 Series version of IO.SYS are no longer supported: EXT= BIOS is loaded from flash.
Do not trap INT 16h (keyboard BIOS interrupt). By default, 4000API emulates the 4000 keyboard, complete with the ability to remap keys. Since the 6110 Computer has INT 16h support, apply this switch to return PC-compatible key codes instead of 4000-style key codes.
" This section discusses INTERLNK and INTERSVR products from Microsoft Cor- poration and are bundled with MS-DOS. This also includes Norand from Intermec Technologies Corporation and an overview of a telecommunica- tions session. INTERLNK and INTERSVR INTERLNK connects a PEN*KEY serial ports.
6000 Series Computer for use. It can also be called from applications to perform data communications. Initial Program Load By default, the 6110 DOS Toolkit startup files execute PSROM0C.BAT (residing in the \Psrom0c\ directory), which starts Norand Utilities to perform an Initial Program Load (IPL).
" NOTE: For a list of errors that may be displayed when attempting an NRInet session or a TFTP con- nection, see the 6110 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide P/N: 961-054-102. NRInet NRInet is a protocol that performs a Norand file transfer session over TCP/IP Ethernet.
Optionally, configure a DHCP server to provide IP information required by the computer, such as the IP addresses of the client, server, router, and domain name servers. The NET.CFG and WATTCP.CFG files are overwritten by PSROM0C. 6110 Hand-Held Computer Technical Reference A:=E: B:=F:...

The field length is right-justified and zero-padded. Although the Norand file transfer protocol supports a number of data types, many of these are specific to the PL/N language from Intermec Technologies Corporation. For the sake of simplicity, just specify a data type of X (for character) and the record length, which does not include the record type character.
