  • Page 33: Spectrum24 Terminals

    Spectrum24® RF Setup Spectrum24 Terminals Spectrum24 terminals use standard communications protocols to accomplish wireless connectivity. These protocols are generalized and take up considerably more space in the terminal’s NVM. With less space available in NVM for application files, Spectum24 terminals operate as diskless computing workstations. The terminal’s NVM contains system files required to connect to and download the application files from a network server and to provide network diagnostics and configuration.

  • Page 34: Standard Spectrum24 Installation

    BOOTP and DHCP. BOOTP is commonly used in UNIX and OS/ 2; DHCP is the protocol for Windows NT servers. By default, Symbol's Series 3000 Spectrum24 terminals expect IP addresses to be entered manually. To use the DHCP or BOOTP protocol, you must change the .boot. parameter in the [Spectrum24 Control] section of the NET.CFG file loaded on the terminal.

  • Page 35: Editing Net.cfg

    Spectrum24® RF Setup Editing NET.CFG The terminal is controlled by entries in the NET.CFG file. After you decide how to allocate IP addresses, edit NET.CFG to include the [Spectrum24 Control] section necessary to set the IP addressing mode. If you intend to make any changes to the terminal’s out-of-box default setup, you must add the [Spectrum24 Control] section, which specifies parameters that apply to all Spectrum24 uses, to NET.CFG.

  • Page 36: Downloading Application Files To The Terminal

    PDT 3100 Series Product Reference Guide Downloading Application Files to the Terminal To download application files you must have a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on the network. If your site has more than 3 or 4 terminals, running a TFTP server on a DOS-based machine is impractical because the operating system restricts you to downloading to one terminal at a time.

  • Page 47: Booting A Terminal

    Operating the PDT 3100 Booting a Terminal Powering the terminal on does not boot the system or initialize the program or data. To initialize the terminal, perform either a warm or cold boot. Warm Boot A warm boot resets the operating system while preserving the program and data on the RAM disk.

  • Page 48: Cold Boot

    PDT 3100 Series Product Reference Guide Cold Boot A cold boot fully resets the system and clears memory, including the RAM disk. Any programs and data stored in memory or on the RAM disk are deleted. Nonvolatile memory (NVM, the Application EEPROM) is not affected.

  • Page 49: Cold Boot Failure

    If the system halts at one of these lines and displays a status value other than 0, the displayed device driver failed to load properly. If such a failure occurs cold boot the terminal. If this does not solve the problem, call Symbol Support Center. More troubleshooting information is found in the publications listed at the beginning of this manual.

    Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics, but most combinations work within 4 to 10 inches. Generally: • The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner. • Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
  • Page 58 You need to find the right working range for the bar codes you are scanning. The best general advice is: • The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner. • Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
