How to Access Terminal Emulation
Parameters

Before you make a host connection, you will, at a
minimum, need to know:

•

the alias name or IP address (Host Address) and

•

the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system
to properly set up your host session.

1.

Make sure the mobile client network settings are
configured and functional. If you are connecting
over wireless LAN (802.11B), make sure your
mobile client is communicating with the Access
Point.

2.

From

Start | Program

, run

LXE RFTerm

or tap

the RFTerm icon on the desktop.

3.

Select

Session | Configure

from the application

menu and select the “host type” that you require.
This will depend on the type of host system that
you are going to connect to; i.e. 3270 mainframe,
AS/400 5250 server or VT host.

4.

Enter the “Host Address” of the host system that
you wish to connect to. This may either be a DNS
name or an IP address of the host system.

5.

Update the telnet port number, if your host
application is configured to listen on a specific
port. If not, just use the default telnet port.

6.

Select

OK

7.

Select

Session | Connect

from the application

menu or tap the “Connect” button on the Tool
Bar. Upon a successful connection, you should
see the host application screen displayed.

To change options such as Display, Colors, Cursor,
Barcode, etc., please refer to the “RFTerm Reference
Guide” on the LXE Manuals CD for complete
descriptions of these and other features.

AppLock

LXE devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to
boot in Administration mode with no default password,
thus when the device is first booted, the user has full
access to the device and no password prompt is
displayed. After the administrator specifies an application
to lock, a password is assigned and the device is rebooted
or the hotkey is pressed, the device switches to end-user
mode.

1.

Tap

Start | Settings | Control Panel |

Administration

icon.

2.

Assign an application on the Control (single
application) or Application (multiple application) tab
screen.

3.

Assign a password on the Security tab screen.

4.

Select a view level on the Status tab screen, if
desired.

5.

Tap OK

6.

Press the hotkey sequence to launch AppLock and
lock the configured application(s). The device is now
in end-user mode.

Note: AppLock cannot support multiple windows of some
applications. Attempting to open multiple windows of
RFTerm or Pocket Word will cause AppLock to switch to
administration mode.
