Setup the Terminal

You must power up and configure each terminal when you install it. You can do this through the terminal’s test and setup mode.

To setup the PC3500TX terminal you must have the following:

Terminal IP Address (PC3500TX that you are installing)

Host IP Address (PC that is running the Terminal Manager Module)

Subnet Mask

Gateway (If required for your network)

You will have to obtain this information from your Network Administrator.

Starting the Test and Setup Mode

IMPORTANT! The PC3500TX terminal requires that the Terminal Manager module runs with “TCP/IP Server” enabled.

The available tests and setup modes are

♦Test Mode: Tests the Keypad, Display, Memory, Real Time Terminal and Bar Code reader.

♦Setup Mode: Sets up communication - IP Address, Host IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.

♦Network Test: (Not Used)

♦Battery Test: Checks the terminals optional battery backup (UPS).

♦DI-DO Test: Checks the Digital Input/Digital Output auxiliary port by performing a loop-back test.

♦Restart Mode: Resets the Terminal, clears all data from memory and performs a power-up sequence. (This does not clear the terminals Network Settings).

The terminal must first go through its “Power - Up Test” before you can start the test / setup mode.
