PDT 3100 HHDCU ON MOTOROLA AIX SYSTEM

1.             Note:

                Throughout this FECO a SPACE in a string is shown by a Ñ .

                All other spaces are purely cosmetic.

2.            This FECO details the installation of a Symbol PDT 3100 Hand Held Data

                Capture Unit (HHDCU) on a Motorola system running AIX.

3.             A project plan must be completed which should include a check on the disk space.

4.            The Symbol PDT 3100 HHDCU has a 35 key keyboard and a 4 line display.

                The head scans to the left or right. It is designed as a Portable data Terminal (PDT) to capture
                data in warehouses goods in/out etc, then be placed in the cradle, and download the data to the
                system.

             Then press ENTER.

13.10   On the system log to bml

13.11   Enter the password.

13.12   Enter
             rscan Ñ -d Ñ -p
<DEV PATH> Ñ -f Ñ D: <DEV FILE NAME> Ñ -o <FILENAME> Ñ -c10

13.13    The data is downloaded from the HHDUU to the system file.

13.14    Display the system file to show the data in it. e.g vi TEST1 ; and ensure that the bar code
              displayed is correct. There may be some extra digits added before or after the number.

14.     Warning 1.

          Do not remove the LDT from the cradle if the COMM light is flashing as it indicates that data is
          being transmitted or a command is being received.

15     Warning 2.

         A log file named RscanLog_ppp will also be created to give a summary of the communication
         with the scanner, where ppp is the same as for the debug file.

        Data is appended to this file for each communication with the scanner, so it must be
       checked regularly by the system administrator to prevent it becoming too large.
