Datalogic Scanning PDA User Interface

User Interface

User’s Manual 13

With an SNMP agent always running on the terminal, other SNMP-based

network management tools, such as HP Openview

®

, IBM’s Tivoli, Computer

Associates’ Unicenter, or CastleRock SNMPpc

®

, may also be used to config-

ure/manage the terminals. To support this capability, Datalogic has released

the Management Information Base (MIB) for Datalogic Windows-based ter-

minals. The MIB is used by the SNMP management tools to allow them to

interface with the SNMP agent provided on the terminals. This interface

allows the management tool to configure the scanner controls or retrieve ter-

minal type information.

For more information on SNMP, see “SNMP Interface” on page 59, or go to:

http://www.microsoft.com (Internet connection required).

Maintaining Current Files

FMU uses a proprietary file update system to maintain current files on the ter-

minal. FMU uses this protocol to allow the FMU Server to compare files and

firmware versions between the server and the terminal, and to update the ter-

minal if it is not up to date. FMU provides the administrator the ability to

update a single copy of a file or firmware image, and have that copy be distrib-

uted to all of the networked terminals with no further action required by the

administrator. FMU ensures data integrity by verifying that the downloaded

file is identical to the original prior to replacing the copy on the terminal,

avoiding any possibility of corrupting the file.

User Interface

Windows

®

XP Interface

The FMU graphical user interface was designed to be consistent with the

Windows XP GUI design practices and principles. The FMU User Interface is

simple and intuitive, allowing you to perform tasks quickly and efficiently.

FMU’s User Interface has a similar look and feel to standard Windows

Explorer tree-view/list-view design. The left pane displays the Tree View listing

the FMU components; the right pane displays the List View containing details

and options available for the selected component.
