Annunciators

Auto-Advancing through Fields

10
The terminal's display reserves a location for annunciators (icons) that help
you monitor RF and network communications, or alert you of a condition
that requires action. Following are TE 2000 5250 annunciators.
X
S Input inhibited
The keyboard has accepted enough information for the defined input
field. The "key-ahead" feature stores keystrokes after the "input inhib-
ited" annunciator appears. These are saved for the next field.
S Insert mode
The keyboard inserts characters instead of overwriting them.
M
S Message waiting
The host has a message waiting for the operator.
For information about annunciators that indicate battery condition and
general operational status, refer to the terminal's user manual.
You can set up your Trakker Antares
the fields on a 5250 TE screen. When you scan data into a field on a 5250
TE screen, a Field Exit command clears the rest of the field, advances to
the next field, and triggers an auto-enter field to send an ENTER to the
application and submit the data. You can just scan data and never touch
the keyboard.
To set this up, you need to disable Auto Tab Scan in the TE configuration
menus, and set the Postamble command to the 5250 Field Exit code.
There are three ways to configure the Postamble command:
S Use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System.
S Download Postamble command from the Intermec
to one or more terminals using UDP Plus protocol.
S Download the Postamble command from a host using the TCP/IP di-
rect connect protocol.
The first two configuration methods are listed in this chapter. The third
method involves creating an application and then downloading the ap-
plication to the terminals. For help creating the application, refer to your
terminal's user manual.
The 5250 Field Exit code is a character in the extended ASCII character
set. The terminal supports the full and extended ASCII character sets. For
a list of the full and extended ASCII characters, refer to your terminal's
user manual.
Note: You can also configure the postamble by scanning the Postamble
command. However, you cannot scan in extended ASCII characters like
the 5250 Field Exit code.
