3. Software Architecture The 8300 Series Terminal system software consists of three modules: the kernel & Application Manager module, the System module and the Application module. 3.1 Kernel & Application Manager The kernel is the innermost core of the system. It has the highest security and is always protected by the system.
To transmit the application programs to a host PC or another terminal. The function allows a terminal to be cloned without going through a PC. 3.2 System The system module provides the following services: Information The system information includes hardware version, serial number, manufacturing date, kernel version, C library or BASIC run-time version, application program version and hardware configurations.

Wireless products can be put in lower power consumption mode when “Power Saving” is enabled. Default: [1] Enable 6). Preamble Select either a short preamble or long preamble. Select a short preamble for 8370 terminal with high network traffic; select a long preamble when the network traffic is low. Default: [1] Long 4.

3). EAP Menu EAP Stands for Extensible Authentication Protocol. The 8370 terminal only supports EAP-MD5. When these features are implemented, a wireless client that associates with an access point cannot gain access to the network until the user performs a network logon.
50 ~80 Very Good 11M bps 3.3 Application The Application module runs on top of the System module. The 8370 Terminal is preloaded with the Application Generator’s run-time program and the following menu will be shown upon powering the unit up: 1.
4. Operations Batteries must be fresh and properly loaded before start operation. 4.1 Keypad operations The 8300 Series Terminals have two keyboard layouts: 24 rubber keys and 39 rubber keys. The functions of some special keys are as follows: SCAN Scan a barcode.
4.3 System mode To enter the system menu, you need to press the 7, 9 and POWER keys simultaneously upon power up the terminal. For details of the services provided by the system, please refer to section 4.2. 4.4 Kernel mode To enter the kernel menu, you need to press 7, 9 and POWER keys simultaneously to enter the system menu first, then power off the unit and press 1, 7 and POWER key simultaneously.
5. Troubleshooting Cannot connect to the AP. Check if SSID, Authentication, and WEP settings of 8370 are the same as AP’s. Some particular settings : Cisco AP: Authentication must be "Open System". Lucent AP: The Preamble must be "Long". Symbol AP: The power saving must be "disabled"...
