Installation

Components

The 802 Terminal is 802.11b compatible operating between 2399.5 MHz and 2474.5

MHz using direct sequence spread spectrum; it works with Access Points that are

802.11b or 802.11g compatible (b is a subset of g). The components in your 802

Terminal system will vary according to the configuration of your system. Your R/F

Terminal shipment should contain at least:

• An R/F Terminal T802 or LT802 (unit includes keypad and display).

If the R/F Terminal is an LT802 model, it will have an integrated laser

scanner built-in to the body of the terminal. Each terminal is shipped

with a shoulder strap, boot, and Manual.

• An optional Scanner – if you ordered the T802 models instead of the

LT802 models with the built-in laser scanner.

• Optional rechargeable batteries and a 9v power supply.

• 802 Utilities CD ROM – demo programs, Active X development

software, test program, and firmware loader program

Keep the shipping box for the R/F Terminal in the event it is necessary to

return equipment for repair later.

Installation Tips

1. Be sure all Access Points and Terminals have the same SSID and WEP

Key, (if Encryption is used). Terminals are shipped with a SSID of

WORTH DATA.

2. Start with one Terminal. Get everything working with the single

terminal and then add other terminals, being certain that all terminals

have unique IP Device Address.

3. Use the 802 Test Programs to validate that everything is working. If

you have problems, refer to the Trouble Shooting Section.

Using the RF Terminal keypad…

The R/F Terminal is turned on by pressing the green

ON/OFF button located in the upper left-hand corner

of the R/F Terminal keypad.

The R/F Terminal has a Shut Down Time feature that allows you to

determine the length of time the R/F Terminal must be inactive before

automatically shutting down to conserve battery power. When the R/F

1-2

Terminal shuts down, simply press the ON/OFF button to resume operation.

The keypad is custom designed for the R/F Terminal operations. It has

numeric and control keys in the non-shifted state, and alpha characters in its

shifted state. You can readily determine if SHIFT is on by the cursor on the

display. When upper case alpha SHIFT is on, the cursor is a large black

rectangle. When SHIFT is off, the cursor is a narrow underline character.

For all prompts which ask for a YES or NO response, the ENTER key, is

the YES reply, and the 0 (zero) key is the NO reply. As you key data, you

will see each character displayed on the screen. If you make a mistake, you

can delete the last character by pressing the DELETE key, or you can clear

all characters displayed on the screen by pressing the CLEAR key.

You can order NiMH rechargeable batteries (L01) from Worth Data along

with a 9v recharging Power Supply that recharges the batteries completely

within 2 hours. When recharging options (batteries or Power Supply) are

ordered with the Terminals, the Terminal's Batteries Setup parameter is set

for recharging "1" which allows the batteries to be recharged under program

control. Otherwise, the batteries shipped are non-rechargeable alkalines

with no recharging options set in the Terminal. However, you may change

the battery type yourself. Using NIMH or alkaline batteries, you should get

24 hours of operation (assuming 1 transaction every 8 seconds).

If you did not order the rechargeable batteries and you change to

rechargeables, you must change the Terminal's Setup to Batteries 1 to allow

recharging. If you want to charge the batteries without having to remove

them from the Terminal, you must use the Worth Data 9v power supply.

You can safely use alkaline batteries in a terminal set for recharging,

providing you don’t plug a power supply into the terminal. Recharging

Alkaline batteries may cause the batteries to explode and leak battery acid

throughout the RF Terminal. Battery acid damage is not covered by the

Worth Data warranty because it not deemed to be “normal use”.

If you are using alkaline batteries (either regular or rechargeables) and

have selected the Rechargeables setting in the Battery setup parameter (See

Chapter 2; RF System Setup), the RF Terminal will generate the following

error message:

Alkaline Batteries

Detected,

Recharge-

ables Are Specified

Do Not Recharge

1-3

Battery Life Indicator

The R/F Terminal detects low AA batteries and displays the following message:

LOW BATTERIES

Finish, Sign Off

Change Batteries

Hit Any Key_

At this point you have approximately 2 minutes of operational time to finish

your transaction (or note where you are leaving off if in the middle of a

transaction) and sign off. After 2 minutes, the R/F Terminal displays:

CHANGE BATTERIES

UNIT SHUT DOWN_

This message displays for 20 seconds before the R/F Terminal signs off from

the host (if signed on) and then shuts itself down. If you turn it back on

without changing batteries, you may experience constant beeping, intermittent

scanning, and very irritating symptoms that look like equipment failure.

Once you remove the batteries, you have 5 minutes to change them before

you lose the date and time in the Real-Time Clock.

The R/F Terminal also has a battery life indicator. Press the STATUS key

to display the remaining battery life of the AA batteries (as well as the date,

time and other information) as follows:

mm/dd/yy hh:mm

alkBAT-zz%

ServerIP=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

DeviceIP=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

• Server IP either shows the Server's fixed TCPIP address; or if

Device searches out the Server, shows 0.0.0.0.

• Device IP either shows the Device's fixed TCPIP address or, if it

is determined by a DHCP Server, shows 0.0.0.0.

• Ch:=n shows the channel to start using, (the channel of the most

frequently used Access Point).

• SSID=xxxxxxxxxxxx refers to the first 12 characters of the up to

32 character network name.

• WEP=128 or 64 or NO shows how the Device is configured

with an encryption key.

1-4

• Signal=nn% shows the signal strength from the best Access

Point with the same SSID (if already SIGNED ON).

Press the STATUS key again to resume processing

To change the AA batteries:

1. Turn OFF the R/F Terminal.

2. Remove the battery holder door on the back of the R/F Terminal by

pressing down on the grooved portion of the door and pushing outward.

3. Remove the old batteries and insert the new ones, making sure to

orient the batteries with the positive (+) end facing down toward

the bottom of the R/F Terminal.

4. If using rechargeable batteries, make sure that rechargeables are

specified. See the previous page to quickly determine the setting

using the STATUS key.

5. Replace the battery door and turn the reader on using the ON/OFF

switch.

6. Sign ON and resume your application.

Recharging the batteries

1. Be sure you have specified rechargeable batteries in the RF

Terminal's Setup. If you ordered NiMH rechargeable batteries with

a RF Terminal, Worth Data makes the change before shipping. See

Battery in the RF Setup.

2. With the RF Terminal shut off, plug the F15 9V power adapter into

the RF Terminal.

3. The firmware in the terminal then checks the level of charge in the

batteries to see if they need charging, displaying the following message:

Checking Batteries

Please Wait………..

4. If the batteries are already charged, the message will disappear. If

the batteries need charging, the following message is displayed:

Charging Batteries

Please Wait………..

R/F Terminal Menu Functions

There are three modes of operation for the R/F Terminal:

DEVICE SIGN ON Signs R/F Terminal on for two-way

communication with host.

SETUP MODE Accesses Setup parameters for Terminal and Base.

RF System Setup

RF Terminal Setup

The RF Terminal itself can be configured using the Terminal keypad or by using

the bar coded Setup Menu, which is in the back of your manual. Even if you

configure the RF Terminal using the keypad, you may need the bar coded Setup

Menu to use as a reference. Most users do not need to change anything in the

setup. Some parameters are available only by bar code menu and others only by

keypad:

*All parameters are set back to their defaults when reset using the bar coded Setup Menu, even

parameters that are changed by keypad only. Shaded items are keypad access only.

Using the bar code RF Terminal Setup Menu

To use the bar coded Setup Menu, scan these bar codes in this order:

• Start Setup - you should hear 2 beeps

• Setup Parameter bar code (i.e. “Beep Tone”)-you should hear 2

beeps for each scan

• Number bar code that corresponds to the appropriate setting

(i.e. “3” to change the Beep Tone to “high”) - you should hear 2

beeps for each scan

• End Setup-you should hear 3 beeps after END SETUP.

2-3

More than one Setup Parameter can be changed before you scan END

SETUP. For example, if you scanned START SETUP, then “Beep Tone”,

then 3, then “Speaker Operation”, then 1, then END SETUP, this would

change the beep tone to “high”, and turn the speaker "off".

If you are using a Laser Scanner to setup the RF Terminal, the beam will

often cover more than one bar code. Cover any adjacent bar codes before

scanning, and then check the RF Terminal display to make sure the correct

setting was entered.

Using the keypad to setup the RF Terminal

The RF Terminal can be setup via the Terminals' keypad by entering Setup

Mode from the menu. Turn on the Terminal and press any key. You should see:

DEVICE SIGN ON ----->1

SETUP MODE----------->2

SITE SURVEY----------->3

Press the 2 key to change the configuration of the Terminal Device.

At this point, the terminal will ask for a password:

SETUP MODE

PASSWORD?_

Enter WDTRI on the keypad. The next item allows you to choose which

item to configure:

R/F Terminal------->1

Voice Operations->2

Press 1 to enter the RF Terminal Setup.

Now you are in the RF Terminal Setup Menu and can choose from the

following options: RF Setup---0 Batteries--4

Date/Time--3 Exit-------F1

At this point, choose which group you want to configure. Most of the RF

Terminal setup parameters are accessible from the either the keypad Setup

Menu or the bar code Setup Menu. There are only 2 that are available only

from the bar code Setup Menu while there are quite a few options that are

available only from the keypad Setup.

RF Terminal Setup Parameters

Default settings are shown in bold type in this manual and are marked by a * on

the bar code Setup Menu.

The RF Terminal will typically require no setup changes except, Device Address (if

more than one terminal) and enabling bar codes to be read other than UPC or Code 39.

Device IP Address

Get Device IP from DCHP Server 0.0.0.0

Use a Fixed Address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

• Every terminal needs a unique Device IP Address. You can use a fixed

IP address, or you can use a DHCP Server (default) to obtain an IP

address. Enter in the address in the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (where

each n is a value of 0-9); or if you wish to use a DHCP Server, enter

0.0.0.0. The terminal's default setting is to use a DHCP Server.

Server IP Address

Search for Server IP Address 0.0.0.0

Use a Fixed Address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

• The terminal communicates with a Server by IP address. The Server IP

address can be found by a search initiated by the terminal, or you can

enter in a fixed IP address for the server. The default setting in the

terminal is to search, (a setting of 0.0.0.0). If you want to use a fixed

server IP address, enter the IP address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (where each n

is a value of 0-9.

Subnet Mask

Default Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

User Defined Subnet Mask nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

• If you wish to change the default Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then

enter a new mask in the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.

Starting Channel

Default Starting Channel 1

User Defined Starting Channel 1-11

• The terminal device's channel should be set to the channel of the most

frequently used Access Point to minimize the initial SIGN ON. To save

time, the Terminal Device will try other channels in case the Starting

Channel does not immediately find an Access Point.

SSID

Default SSID None

User Defined XXXXXXXXXXX

• If wish to restrict terminal device to a specific network name, enter the

name here (up to 32 chs). The default setting is NONE. You will need

to change it in order to sign on to your network. The SSID is case-

sensitive; if you want an SSID with lower case characters, use Shift F2

to go into lower case or you will have to scan the Full ASCII Menu.

WEP Encryption Key

• Here is where you enter the encryption key (WEP). If you want a 64 bit

key, enter the 10 hex number (0-F) string to use. If you want a 128 bit key,

enter the 26 hex (0-F) number string to use. Whatever you enter should

match the Access Point's WEP key.

Authentication

Open System 0

Shared Key 1

• Before a wireless client device can communicate on a network, it must

authenticate to the access point and the network. You must enter a

WEP Encryption key to access the Authentication settings.

• Open System authentication, which is the default setting, is the

preferred method – it allows any device to authenticate with the access

point, but will only allow it to communicate if the WEP keys match.

• Shared Key is allowed to comply with the IEEE 802.11b standard,

however, because of its security flaws; it is not the recommended type

of authentication.

Control Keys Only

No 0

Yes 1

• Several special keys on the RF Terminal keypad can generate a

response automatically, sending a separate message to the host by

simply pressing the appropriate control key (without pressing the

ENTER key afterward). This allows for simple and fast scrolling by the

operator. The arrow keys, Begin, End, and Search are the specific keys

supported. The default setting is to require the ENTER key to be

pressed before data transmission.

The Backlit Display is standard. The default setting is for the LCD

Backlight to be ON. As shipped the Backlight Duration is 5 seconds.

Backlight Duration

Always ON 0

Duration in # of seconds 1..2..5..-9

The Backlight Duration is of no concern unless you have set the LCD

Backlight Display to 1 for YES. This setting determines how long the

Backlight Display is on at startup or when triggered by pressing the F2 key.

Always ON will create a drain on your batteries and you can expect shorter

battery life. The default setting is 5 seconds.

Skip Opening Screens

No 0

Go to Device SIGN ON 1

• Many users want to skip the opening screens and go directly to SIGN

Automatic Check Back

This parameter should not be changed under normal circumstances. After

the host sends a prompt, the Terminal goes to sleep waiting on the operator

to key or scan input in response to the prompt. It waits until the Automatic

Shut Off time or until the operator responds. This parameter sets the time

that the Terminal stops waiting on input from the operator, discards the

current prompt, and goes back to the host to see if there is a change in

instructions. If no change, the host must resend the prompt again because

the Terminal has discarded the original prompt. The host now has the

opportunity to change a prompt. The time can be set in increments of 5

seconds, up to 495 seconds. The default value is 00. The values possible for

entry are 00-99. An entered 99 gives 99x5 seconds, or 495 seconds between

check backs. The Terminal sends back an ASCII 07 for the data back to the

host (ID ASCII 07 CR). This parameter's prompt is:

characters are not affected. Caps Lock OFF means that letters will be

transmitted exactly as read. This setting applies to all bar code types.

• Use setting 2 to enable reading of the 2 and 5 digit UPC/EAN supplements

commonly found on magazines and paperback books as well as the

Extended Coupon Codes. Using this setting force left to right reading of

UPC codes to assure that the supplement code is not missed.

• ISBN (International Standard Book Numbering) bar codes are EAN-13

with a 5-digit supplement. If the “Bookland” bar code uses 978 (books) or

977 (periodicals) as the first three digits, then the RF Terminal can transmit

it in the ISBN format. The settings for this are found under the Laser

Options parameter. To enable transmission of the ISBN (prior to January

2006) format, set the Laser Options parameter to D. To return to the

default of normal EAN-13 transmission, set it to C. For details on ISBN,

see Appendix J, UPC/EAN.

• Use setting 4 and 9 to enable transmission of the NSC character to your

computer. The Number System Character is the leading character in

the bar code. For details, see Appendix J, UPC/EAN.

• Use setting 6 and A to enable transmission of the check digit character

to your computer. The check digit is the last character and is based

upon a calculation performed on the other characters.

• Setting C transmits UPC-E0 bar codes as is; setting D transmits them

with inserted zero’s to make them the same length as a UPC-A bar

code. A NSC of 0 is assumed. It is possible to read UPC-E1 bar codes;

by default this option is disabled. Do not enable UPC-E1 if you plan

on reading EAN-13 bar codes; you may experience partial reads when

reading EAN-13. The UPC-E1 option is set in the 2 of 5 Code

parameter. To enable UPC-E1 reading, set the 2 of 5 Code parameter

to 8. To turn off UPC-E1 reading, set it back to the default of 9.

• If you prefer to transmit UPC-E bar codes in a 6-digit format while EAN-

8 is transmitted in its original 8-digit format use setting F. This will

allow you to use settings 9 and A and still transmit EAN-8 as 8 digits.

• UPC-A can be transmitted in EAN-13 format by adding a leading 0

(USA county code) to the UPC-A data. This setting is found in the

Laser Options parameter. To transmit in EAN-13 format, set the

Laser Options parameter to F. To return to the default (UPC-A

transmitted in original format) set it to E.
