7 INTRODUCTION Seeing the need to combine wireless connectivity and telnet terminal emulation, MIRROR 5250/VT Emulator, is designed to provide telnet terminal emulation on the 9400/9500CE/9500PPC Mobile Computers, which are capable of b/g or Bluetooth PAN networking. The software consists of CipherNet_TN for 5250 emulation and CipherNet_VT for VT100/220 emulation, each is a telnet client that allows the user to connect to a host computer of the same emulation type and make use of the applications running on it. Thus, the mobile computer works as an input device to a host computer that supports either VT100/VT220 or 5250 emulation. The data collected or input will be sent back to the host computer. On the other hand, the mobile computer works as an output device as well because it can display data coming in from the host. This manual serves to provide comprehensive understanding of MIRROR 5250/VT Emulator, and helps start a telnet session running host applications. We recommend that you read the document thoroughly before use and keep it at hand for quick reference. Thank you for choosing CipherLab products! 1

Transmit/Decode Mode Decide how to handle Macro PDF decoding. Transmit/Decode Mode Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete Transmit all decoded data from an entire Macro PDF sequence only when the entire sequence is scanned and decoded. If the decoded data exceeds the limit of 50 symbols, no transmission because the entire sequence was not scanned! The transmission of the control header must be disabled. Transmit Any Symbol in Set / Particular Order Transmit data from each Macro PDF symbol as decoded, regardless of the sequence. The transmission of the control header must be enabled. Passthrough All Symbols Passthrough All Symbols Transmit and decode all Macro PDF symbols and perform no processing. In this mode, the host is responsible for detecting and parsing the Macro PDF sequences. 41

48 MIRROR VT/5250 Terminal Emulation User Guide Send Control Header ESC Characters The control header contains the segment index and file ID. This option has no effect when "Passthrough All Symbols" is applied. When enabled, it uses the backslash "\" as an Escape character for systems that can process transmissions containing special data sequences. It will format special data according to the Global Label Identifier (GLI) protocol, which only affects the data portion of a Macro PDF symbol transmission. The Control Header, if enabled, is always sent with GLI formatting. Yes ne te: When printing barcodes, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each has a unique identifier. Do not mix barcodes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When you scan Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence without interruption! 42
