Release Notes

1) A Timer value of 999 will cause the back light timer to be "Always On".

2) The following describes the methods used to enable the EBCDIC~ASCII option for

both the Thick and Thin client.

Thick Client

In order to enable the EBCDIC~ASCII option for the Thick client, you will need to edit

the beginning of the rfiles.txt file:

#-------------------------- General -------------------------

[*;*;*;*]

u_msgs.txt

by adding the one or two lines below as required for the translation,

#-------------------------- General -------------------------

[*;*;*;*]

u_msgs.txt

a2ehex.tb

e2ahex.tb

and save it.

Note: If the file(s) do not exist, the reload on the terminal will fail. You can specify one

or the other, or both, but the file(s) must exist.

Then place one or both of these files in the C:\PowerNet\TwinClient\terminal directory.

a2ehex.tb to translate from ASCII to EBCDIC

e2ahex.tb to translate from EBCDIC to ASCII

Then reload the programs and configuration file into the terminal.

To translate from an ASCII "A" to an EBCDIC "b", this is the syntax:

#translate from an ASCII "A" to an EBCDIC "b"

41 82

To translate from an EBCDIC "A" to an ASCII "b", this is the syntax:

#translate from an EBCDIC "A" to an ASCII "b"

Introduction

Patch version A

09-07-05

This change will cause the DOS emulators to use a random source port between 2000 and

2100 on each outbound host connection.

Prior to this, they used the same source port number and this would cause problems with

some IBM hosts and Firewalls. This would lead to long timeout periods (5-30 minutes)

on IBM hosts and lockouts under Firewalls that looked at this as a possible denial of

service attack.

Setting the Segment

Checking the Segment button restricts a terminal group to a range of IP addresses. The

IP Address can be any valid address on the segment, as it is used only to identify the

segment. The setting of the Net Mask can be used to restrict the range. This feature is

useful for segregating terminal groups by location.

Clicking on the Force Reload button forces all terminals within a group to be

automatically updated. The following warning message appears.

Click on the Yes button to force the reload.

Select RF Monitor from the Tools menu.

RF Monitor is an "Over The Air" diagnostic tool. It is used to collect diagnostic trace

information from RF terminals running PowerNet Twin Client software.

It runs on a Windows PC and will send a command to the RF terminal to start tracing.

The terminal, when it receives this command, will start sending the trace information

over the RF link to the PC that issued the command. This will be written to a file on this

PC that can be sent to us for analysis.

Click on File to Select Terminal or to Exit.

Choosing Select Terminal allows you to view a log of the terminal’s activity. Enter the

Terminal IP Address and Terminal IP Port, and click on OK.

RF Monitor is a very small program and does not even require installation. Just place it in

a directory on your PC and create a shortcut to run it. It will run on all versions of

Windows except V3.1 and Windows 95.

1. Move RF Monitor to a Windows PC with Network access to the RF terminal.

2. Run RF Monitor. (Create a shortcut or do a Start/Run.)

3. From the pull down menu, select File/Select Terminal.

4. Key in the RF terminal IP address and leave the port at 1802.

5. From the pull down menu, select Tools/Set Debug Levels. Set all levels to 9 except

Datastream and SNA.

Common Problems with RF Monitor

•

The trace won’t start.

RF Monitor uses UDP to send commands to the RF device. On busy networks, UDP

packets are not always delivered. The terminal can miss the command to start the

trace. Below are some things that can be useful.

a. Ping the RF terminal from the PC used before starting RF Monitor. (This seems

to "open" a path to the terminal.)

b. Start the Monitor with the terminal at the Press Any Key prompt. (While the

terminal is at this prompt, it is not doing much and has a better chance of hearing

the start trace command.)

•

I don't understand what this trace means.

The trace that this tool collects is engineering-level information. It allows an end user

to collect information that can be analyzed by Connect engineering.

It will generally be requested by Connect support to help diagnose a reported

problem.

To be able to read and understand these completely, you need to have an

understanding of:

2-41

Supported Equipment Manual • May, 2006

Terminal Setup

a. Emulation protocols (IBM 5250, IBM 3270, DEC VT200, etc.)

b. PowerNet Twin Client products

c. RF network concepts

d. Wired network concepts

e. Telnet sessions

f. TCP/IP

They are text files that can be read with any editor or viewer and can be useful to end

users and integrators, even if they may not have all the requirements above.

•

I have an intermittent problem and it could happen on any one of my 100

terminals. RF Monitor only does one terminal at a time. What can I do?

RF Monitor is not the right diagnostic tool for this type of problem. PowerNet

products have another diagnostic tool that can be used called the "Diagnostic Server".

This tool can be set up to run trace diagnostics on up to 300 terminals at the same

time. This tool will be provided as needed for systems under PowerNet support

agreement OR by T&M when they are not covered.

It also includes the service of a PowerNet support engineer.

Server Transfer is another feature. From the Tools menu, select Server Transfer.

The FTP Settings screen appears.

To send object editor and configuration files from Windows to your Linux box, enter

your server address, and click on OK.

Manual Download of Configuration Files

The automated configuration management provided by the Twin Client Manager

eliminates the need for manual terminal configuration. However, this function can be

accomplished manually by clicking on Terminals and Send Configuration Files to

Terminal. On the terminal, type “LD” at the DOS prompt, but do not Enter at this time.

Note: This procedure assumes that the PowerNet Twin Client was previously installed.

The following screen appears.

Choose Enter on the terminal while choosing OK at the prompt above. Boot the terminal.

The terminal is now ready to begin a Telnet session with the new configuration files.

Under Terminal, you may select Receive File from Terminal.

Enter the path and file name to receive from the terminal in the Upload File dialog box.

The default file is “rf.log”. Click on OK.
