Number Of Configured Hosts
The Hosts page of the Connectivity options shows the number of hosts configured
on the system. Up to six hosts can be supported.
Host Number
This parameter indicates the assigned host number. Choosing the Host Number
from the drop-down list displays the parameters that can be modified or deleted for
that host. New hosts can be added by selecting an unassigned number and configur-
ing the parameters for it.
The host number also appears on the RF terminal when switching between hosts in a
multiple-host environment.
Status
The Status must be Enabled for terminals to communicate with this host.
Description
This textbox allows you to name the protocol used by the host. Protocols are the
methods by which terminals communicate with host computers over various physi-
cal media such as Ethernet and radio-link connections.
When the 9160 G2 functions as a base station, it communicates with a 9010/ TCP/IP
host using a network connection. The 9010 protocol is a proprietary asynchronous
protocol developed by Psion Teklogix which uses TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem)
or ANSI data streams to communicate with terminals. For detailed information, please
