Differences

While the new 7000 series RF Terminals are fully software compatible with the older 70 and 700 series terminals, there are a few differences between them. The differences between the older generation of Worth Data RF Terminals and the generation referred to within this manual are:

•64 Terminals per Base Station instead of 16. Valid Terminal ID's are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and =.

•Valid Channels are 0-5.

•Base Station parameters (Baud Rate, Parity, Security Code, etc) are not set through the Terminal, but rather set with a Windows program.

•The maximum number of characters that can be sent to a Base Station by a host program is 231 instead of the old 247.
