Compatibility With 95Xx Communications Protocols - Intermec Trakker Antares 2460 User Manual

Compatibility With 95XX Communications Protocols

The 95XX terminals and the 246X terminals use very similar protocols. Use this table
to convert communications protocols and set up the 246X to match your 95XX
configuration.
95XX Protocol
User-Defined
Point-to-Point
Polling Mode D
Multi-Drop
User-Defined Multi-Drop
Note 1: Configurable protocol is a subset of User-Defined protocol or Point-to-Point
protocol. Configurable protocol does not support all of the features of User-Defined or
Point-to-Point protocol. You may need to reconfigure your host to match the capability
of the Configurable protocol on the 246X. For example, the default Point-to-Point
protocol settings on the 95XX are compatible with the default settings for 246X
Configurable protocol.
Note 2: You can define User-Defined Multi-Drop protocol on the 95XX to be
compatible with standard Multi-Drop on the 246X
Note 3: COM2 is only available on the 2460 terminal. It is not available on the 2461
terminal.
To connect the 246X to a 95XX network, you need to convert your application from
IRL to the C programming language. You can use EZBuilder, Microsoft Visual C++, or
an IRL to C converter to convert your IRL application. For help, see Chapter 5,
"Programming the Terminal."
