The JG2020 and the JG2050 for the 2.4 GHz network is slightly different than the one described in the standard JANUS 2020 User’s Manual. Even though many of the features and configuration commands are the same, your device does not support IRL...
1. Make sure the JANUS RF device is switched off. If the device is on, switch it off by pressing 2. Screw the antenna into the connector of the device. Refer to the following illustrations. 3. Switch on the device by pressing Attaching the J2050A or JG2050 Antenna 2050U.009...
NetWare Client for DOS) that you install on your devices. The kit provides the installation utility that merges your network software with the JANUS software, software for setting a security ID for your network, Intermec and Novell terminal emulation software that allow you to install terminal emulation, and boot utilities companion disks that ensure that you will be running the latest JANUS firmware.
JG2050 Most of the information in the J2050 user’s manual also applies to your J2050A and JG2050. However, both of these devices do not have IRL loaded on them. Ignore the sections in your user’s manual that discuss IRL. Also, the J2050A for the 2.4 GHz RF network does not have a PC card slot.
If you need these functions, use Novell’s off-the-shelf application programming interfaces (APIs) instead of the JANUS PSK. Developing Applications Intermec recommends the following software if you need to develop applications that run on your JANUS RF devices in the 2.4 GHz network: • LAN Workshop This program is a high-level API for TLI development.
*.INI, whose path is specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The *.INI file that you use depends on which software you install on your JANUS device. J24TE.INI If you install Intermec TNVTxxx, 3270, or 5250 terminal emulation software, this configuration file is automatically loaded in the DRIVEC subdirectory.
Understanding the RF Status Icons and LEDs The RF status icons on the JR2020G and JG2020 screens correspond to the Conn/Data LEDs on the J2050A and JG2050 cases. These RF icons and LEDs are used to manage RF communications: Connected This icon contains an asterisk. The icon or LED flashes when the RF interface is either actively channel searching or trying to reestablish communications with the network controller.
JANUS 2.4 GHz Radio Frequency Quick Reference Guide Battery (JR2020G or JG2020) This icon flashes when the NiCad battery pack charge is low (approximately 45 minutes left). Immediately replace or recharge the battery pack because you will soon lose RF communications. If you continue to operate the reader, the battery pack charge becomes very low, the reader beeps, and RF communications are turned off.
If you are having problems with RF communications, review the following list of problems and their possible solutions. Note: The 2020s and the 2050s have slightly different procedures. If you have a J2050A or a JG2050, see to the next section, “Troubleshooting Your J2050A and the JG2050.” Problem The RF option is not listed in the Com menu of IC.EXE.
Connect LED turns off. Solution The device is not recognizing the RF interface. Contact your Intermec service representative. The RF interface is not responding. Contact your Intermec service representative. There are three possible solutions: • Make sure you are within range of a radio repeater or base radio unit.
