Getting Started
PDT 754X Spectrum24 Radio Terminals
The PDT 754X is equipped with a Spectrum24 adapter card (Type II PC card connected to
an internally mounted antenna) that enables the terminal to operate in a Spectrum24
network.
The software required (interface, drivers, and configuration files) is described in the Series
7000 System Software Manual for DOS Applications and in the Spectrum24 NDK Product
Reference Guide. For information on configuration file edits to ensure proper operation of
the PDT 754X in a Spectrum24 environment, refer to the Spectrum24 Network Developer's
Kit for DOS.
SDK
The Series 7000 Software Development Kit (SDK) for DOS contains all software and
documentation to assist you in developing applications to run on the PDT 7500.
You will need one or more application development environments (ADEs) from other
vendors to develop applications for the PDT 7500, for example Microsoft C/C++ 1.52 for
DOS.
Spectrum24 NDK
The Spectrum24 Network Development Kit (NDK) for DOS contains the network drivers,
samples, and documentation to assist you in developing network-aware applications to run
on the PDT 754X.
To develop applications for Spectrum24 for the PDT 754X, install both the PDT 7500 SDK
and the Spectrum24 NDK for DOS.
Third-Party Software
Other application development environments are available, such as Zetes MCL ® Collection.
Contact your Symbol Representative for more information.
Before You Use the Terminal
Install and Charge Battery Pack
Prior to using the PDT 7500 for the first time, charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The
battery pack can be charged while in the terminal or charged separately in the cradle's
charging slot. See Chapter 3, Cradle Setup and Operation, for instructions on installing the
cradle(s) and installing and charging the battery pack.
