Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Configuring the Computer through the Network

You can change the configuration parameters of the 751G by sending commands through a host computer or through the network. If you are using a network, you can configure one or more 751Gs at a time. You can remotely configure the wireless 751G by sending a command from an application on the host computer. Note that you cannot set all parameters through the network. You can only set those commands that have a syntax in the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual.

Note: You can continue running an application on the 751G while configuring it from the host computer.

Configuring the Computer in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network

Use the host computer to configure a wireless 751G in a

TCP/IP network. To send and receive configuration data, write a host application that can communicate with the 751G directly through an access point or through the network. Use the TMF protocol to send and receive transactions between the host application and the 751G.

To set up the host computer, verify communication with the 751G. To set up the application, prepare and write a host application that can communicate with the IAS and send transactions to and receive transactions from the 751G in this format:

TMF field commands

where:

TMF field is a 2-byte field containing one of these values:

CG	Configuration Get request sent from the host application.
Cg	Configuration Get response sent from the 751G to the host computer.
CS	Configuration Set request sent from the host application.
Cs	Configuration Set response sent from the 751G to the host computer.

commands are the reader and configuration commands to set on the 751G or the current value to retrieve from the 751G. To save configuration changes in flash memory, send the .+1 reader command as the last command. See the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual for a list of commands.

Example

In the host application, you want to get the current values of two configuration commands from the 751G. Send the CG$+NABV transaction from the host application.

Note: The transaction header is not shown in this example. You do not need a transaction header for a host application in a TCP/IP network, but you do for a UDP Plus network.

where:

CG	is a TMF Configuration Get request.
$+	is the Change Configuration reader command.
BV	is the Beeper Volume configuration command.
