Introduction

Introducing the Triton

The Triton hand-held terminal is an ultra-versatile, high-performance, designed-to-t-yourbudget terminal. The ergonomic design easily ts in even the smallest of hands. It is rugged, lightweight, compact and easy-to-use. The high resolution graphical display is capable of

pre-setting a multitude of fonts and images.

The Triton utilizes a true, fully functional, Linux® operating system. The Linux operating system is well known for its stability, speed and conservative memory usage. The Linux operating system coupled with the Triton’s high speed processor makes the Triton one of the fastest handheld terminals on the market today. In test after test the Linux operating system has out-performed DOS and Windows operating systems when compared on similar hardware

platforms.

The power saving features of the Triton include auto-off and power save modes, which reduce power consumption until an operator provides input. These features conserve

battery power and lengthen the time between charges or battery replacement. The Triton will operate for a full 8 hour shift without requiring the battery to be re-charged or replaced.

Using the 35-key Keypad - cont’d.

Using the Alpha key on the 35-key Keypad

If the Triton hand-held computer is equipped with the numeric keypad, the unit will allow alphabetic input in a mobile phone style interface.

Pressing the Alpha key once, will put the keyboard into Alpha Mode. Within Alpha Mode, a numeric key (0 – 9 or period) can be pressed and released multiple times to allow input of any of the three or four red symbols on the key. After no other key has been pressed for 200

milliseconds, the input will be processed.

For example, to type the letter ‘b’, the user would press the [Alpha] key ONCE, followed by the [2] key TWICE. If the user does not press any other key for 200 milliseconds, the input will be processed as a lower case letter ‘b’. If the user had pressed any key other than the [2] key within the 200 milliseconds timeout, the system would have processed the ‘b’ and followed it with the next key. If the user had pressed the [2] key a third time within the timeout period, the input would have been processed as a lower case letter ‘c’.

To input a capital letter, the user must press the [Shift] key before the [Alpha] key, or directly after the press of the [Alpha] key.

For example, to type the capital letter ‘B’, the user could press the [Shift] key ONCE, followed by the [Alpha] key ONCE, followed by the [2] key TWICE, or, alternatively they could press the [Alpha] key ONCE, followed by the [Shift] key ONCE, followed by the [2] key TWICE. The system will respond to either input with a capital letter ‘B’.

Using Lock and Unlock on the 35-key Keypad

If the user needs to input a large amount of alphabetic data, they can temporarily enable the Alpha-Lock feature by pressing the Lock/Blue Modier followed by the [Alpha] key. To disable Alpha-Lock, the user can press the Unlock/Yellow Modier followed by the [Alpha] key.

The [Shift] key can be locked and unlocked in the same manner to create a CAPS lock.

Locking the Keypad

The Triton 35-key numeric keypad can also be completely disabled to prevent unwanted key

presses. This is useful if the user is transporting the Triton hand-held computer in a holster but does not wish to power off the device.

To lock the Triton 35-key Keypad, press the Lock/Blue Modier followed by the [Esc] key. The unit will disregard any further key presses and display a warning to the user. To re-enable the keypad, press the Unlock/Yellow Modier followed by the [Esc] key.

Data Capture and Bar Code Scanners

The Triton hand-held computer comes standard with a laser scan engine that is capable

of scanning single dimensional bar codes. Optionally, Lorax “Near/Far” Lasers and

2-Dimensional Area Imagers can be ordered for the Triton.

Bar code symbologies are always measured in mils. This usually refers to the narrowest bar

width. One mil equals 0.001”, therefore a 0.01” wide narrow bar would be a 10 mil bar code.

Conversion: 1 mil = 0.0254 mm 1 inch = 25.4 mm

Laser Style Scan Engines

Laser-type scan engines use a stationary laser reected by a moving mirror and a highly sensitive laser detector. The Lorax scan engine option allows for much greater distance between the barcode and operator. All laser scan engines have the ability to project an aiming dot to assist the operator in correctly reading barcodes at longer distances.

The Triton Scanner LED

The Triton has a multi-color LED to indicate when the unit has scanned a bar code successfully. When the scan button is pushed, the LED above the on/off button will turn a solid red. Once the scanner has successfully read the bar code, this LED will turn a bright

green.

This visual indication of a good read is useful in very noisy environments where the audio

beeper can not be heard.

Note: When the Triton is in sleep mode the scanner LED will be ashing green.

Scanner Information and Labeling

The Triton Integrated Laser Scanner uses a low-power visible laser diode. Avoid staring

directly into the light beam. Momentary exposure to a CDRH Class II laser is not known to be

harmful.

Laser Classication: CDRH Class II

Light Source: 630 – 680 nm laser diode Laser Output Power: 1.0 milliwatt maximum output FCC Information: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustment, or per- formance of procedures other than those

specied herein may result in hazardous visible laser light exposure.

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

The Triton Internal Radio

The Triton has a multi-color LED to indicate when the unit has scanned a bar code The Triton Hand-held Terminal comes equipped with an internal 802.11b/g/n radio and diversity antenna. This internal radio is specically designed to communicate with any 802.11b/g/n access point. The range of the internal radio depends greatly on the quality of the Access Point and the RF communication characteristics of the environment where the device is used. The typical range for an 802.11b/g radio is 500 feet through free air. Additional Access Points must be added to improve coverage in a larger area, or in electrically noisy RF

environments.

802.11b/g/n Fallback Mode

Wireless LAN technology is designed to make maintaining a connection between

two devices as reliable and consistent as possible. Since the speed of the connection

between wireless devices will vary as range and signal quality varies, the wireless devices will intentionally sacrice throughput (data rate or connection speed as measured in bits per second) in exchange for maintaining a reliable connection. In other words, a reliable

connection at a lower speed is preferred over an unreliable connection at a higher speed

(i.e., it is easier to maintain the connection if data rate is deliberately reduced, or put another way, lower data rates will tolerate a higher range and/or worse signal quality). This characteristic is known as fallback. As an example, an 802.11b/g system will fallback from 11 Mbps to 5.5 Mbps as range increases or signal quality decreases. Subsequent fallbacks from

5.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps and 1 Mbps are also supported.

Interference and Coexistence

802.11b/g operates in a range of radio frequencies known as an “unlicensed” band (i.e.

the FCC does NOT require the use of a license in order to operate a radio transmitter in this range). This means that commercially available radio devices other than wireless LAN devices are permitted to use the same frequency band as 802.11b/g. Consequently, these co-existing radio devices can interfere or “jam” the wireless LAN (and vice versa). Ironically,

the most troublesome devices are cordless telephones and microwave ovens.

Fortunately, higher quality cordless phones tend to “listen” for a clear channel before becoming active and will thus avoid interfering with a wireless LAN (i.e., the cordless phone seeks a clear channel for itself so naturally avoids being interfered with or being a source of interference). Jamming from microwave ovens is more severe but is usually restricted to the upper frequency range for 802.11b/g (it should be noted that 802.11b/g divides the available frequency band into 11 channels. The higher numbered channels are most susceptible to microwave oven interference).

In each instance, jamming occurs only when the cordless telephone or microwave oven is

active.

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Battery

The Triton hand-held computer uses a single battery to supply power to the entire unit. The standard 7.2 Volt, 19.2 Watt-hour battery allows the unit to run continuously for over eight

hours, even in the most demanding environments.

WARNING: Use only Lithium-Ion batteries provided by American Microsystems, Ltd. The use of other batteries can result in improper charging, short circuits, re, and explosion. The use of 3rd party batteries will void all warranties on the Triton hand-held computer.

NOTE: Lithium-Ion batteries and battery packs provide 300-500 charge/discharge cycles, and although they are not susceptible to “battery memory” like older Nickel-Cadmium technologies, they do lose capacity as they age. When a battery is no longer able to supply ample charge for the application it should be recycled.

The Triton battery can be charged either through an external battery charger or from within

the hand- held computer when the unit is placed in the charging and communication

cradle. Typical charging time will vary depending on charging mode and charger.

WARNING: Triton Batteries should only be charged with American Microsystems, Ltd. battery

chargers approved for Triton batteries.

The Triton hand-held computer will alert the user when the battery has reached a critical level. The unit’s battery should be replaced with a fully charged Triton battery or the unit

should be placed back into the charging and communication cradle.

Triton and Cradle

Accessories

The Triton Hand-held Terminal has available an optional charging and communications

cradle. The cradle automatically charges the Triton battery while it is resting in the cradle and the unit is turned off. The cradle also includes an extra slot to charge a spare battery.

The Triton cradle can accommodate the Triton with or without the optional Triton handle.

The ACC-5925 Cradle has three indicator lights:

- Indicates that the Triton Cradle is plugged in.

- Indicates the Triton main battery is charging.

- Indicates the spare battery is charging.

When the battery charging LED is red, the battery is charging. When the battery charge LED is green the battery is fully charged. A fully discharged battery takes about 6 hours to completely recharge.

Navigating the Primary and Icon Menus

All of the primary menus, with the exception of the “Connect / Reconnect” menu and along with some of the “Administration” options, use a series of icons and graphics to allow for easy identication of the available items. Each of these items can be selected in a variety of ways to allow for easy access no matter the keyboard layout or operator preference.

Normal selection is done via the numeric keys, as each icon displays a small number on the top right of its identifying graphic. The number keys on the keyboard correspond to these numbers and can be directly pressed to access the desired function.

Number keys

Alternatively, the arrow keys can be used to move through the icons and pressing [ENTER] will activate the selected function. Once an arrow key has been pressed, an icon cursor will be visible around the currently selected graphic.

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Navigating the Settings Menus and “Connect / Reconnect”

Some menus are not well suited for icon and graphical display, either due to complexity or simply the number of required actions. These menus are displayed using a list format with an emphasis on text over graphical representation.

Like with the icon menus, there are a variety of ways to access functions within these menus. Each item in the menu displays a small number on the bottom left of the action/option. Again, this number corresponds to the keyboard’s numeric keys. Pressing the desired number on the keyboard will activate the corresponding option.

Number Keys

Furthermore, the [Up] and [Down] arrow keys can be used to move through the list of options. The [Enter] key can be used to activate the highlighted option.

When a menu contains more available options or actions than can be displayed at once on

the screen, a small scroll bar will appear on the right side of the menu. This scroll bar denotes

the approximate location of the currently selected option within the menu.

2 - 5

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Scrollbar

If the option activates a function (as from the “Connect / Reconnect” menu) or enters a deeper menu (as from the “Host Servers” menu), a small arrow will be displayed to the right

of the option name.

Some settings options depend on other settings’ values. When these “dependencies” are

not fullled for an option will be displayed in a lighter color and will not be available to be modied or activated. For example, within the “Wireless Security” settings, if the Encryption option is not set to “WPA/WPA2”, the WPA Type option will be grayed out, as it is not relevant

in this case.

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Controlling Options and Settings

The Triton “Administration” menu allows the user to modify the handheld’s system settings and user options. As with any PC application, the Triton main menu system uses a series of “widgets” to allow easy setup of different types of settings (i.e. some options need to be entered as text, while others are simply a “check-box” type of item that only needs to be either enabled or disabled). The Triton widgets are described below.

Boolean / Enable-Disable:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will alter the options setting between “Enabled” and “Disabled”.

Combo / Multiple Options:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will open a small menu and allow the selection (again via the numeric keys or the [Up]/ [Down] and [Enter] keys) of multiple options. Note that some options that only have two different selections will act like the above mentioned Boolean type, but will display the options custom text as opposed to the normal “Enabled” or “Disabled”. If more selections

are available than can be shown on the screen, again a scroll bar will be drawn on the right of the menu.

2 - 7

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Sliders / Numeric Options:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will display a screen with the option name and a numeric slider. Using the [Left]/[Right] or [Up]/[Down] keys will increase and decrease the options value. The minimum and maximum values are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Text Entry:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will open a small text entry menu that will allow typing of text into the option value.

Pressing the [Esc] key or the [0] numeric key will exit any menu and return to the previously viewed screen. Note that when exiting back to the “Administration” menu, the options that were set will automatically be saved. If any action is required, it will automatically be carried out (i.e. if the user changes the embedded HTTP server from “Disabled” to “Enabled”, the system will automatically save the new settings and start the HTTP server when leaving the “Startup/Boot Options” menu). A beep will be sounded and a small message will be displayed briey to signify that the settings were correctly saved.

When the Triton rst powers up, the unit will automatically attempt to connect to the host server. If more than one host connection is congured, the user will be prompted with the Connect menu, allowing them to select the server to connect to. If exactly two host connections have been congured, the “Connect to Both” option will be available.

Triton Administration Menu

The Triton Administration menu houses all of the system’s operating parameters, and from this menu, the entire system can be modied for use. Since the Triton contains hundreds of customizable options, each parameter is categorized into one of nine major groups, and some into smaller sub-sections. This allows each setting to be modied in a quickly and easily. The nine major settings groups are:

1) Network Setup

2) VT Setup — Terminal Emulation and Host Connection Options

2 - 13

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

The Triton comes standard with VT100/VT220 interpreters, TN5250/3270 emulators, a standards compliant web browser, and supported SSH client. Any of these applications/emulators can

be used to connect to remote network servers through the Connect / Reconnect menu.

From here in the Terminal Options menu, this connection menu can be set up.

Each different application has its own set of options and parameters that are accessible

through options four through eight. Their parameters are dened below in the Host / Terminal

Setup table.

*NOTE: For information on using the SSH client, see the SSH Client Setup section of this manual.

Setting up a new connection is done through the Hosts sub-menu. It will present a list of

connections (up to eight connections can be dened) to suit the installation’s needs. Selecting one of the eight host connections will display the host options including IP address, port, terminal (emulation), and any other connection specic parameters applicable to each host server(s). If the Terminal is set to any option other than Disabled, it will be visible on

the Connect menu.

3) Scanner Options

The Scanner Options group contains all aspects of the bar code decoder and data capture

device. Within this menu are ve sub groups: Trigger, Feedback, Codes (Symbologies),

Editing, and General Setup.

2 - 14

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

The Trigger options give control over the aiming dot and laser timers, as well as the trigger’s

mode. These options are usually set up to the user’s personal preference and they have no

effect on the actual data that is collected via the scanner.

The Feedback settings allow modication to the audio beeps that sound during bar code

scanning. Changes can be made to the pitch, length, and count of the beeps that sound when a good and/or bad bar code read is completed.

Symbology control and settings are modied from the Codes section. This section also contains many subsections, depending on the scan engine that is installed in the Triton. For laser bar code readers, the menu will contain all symbologies that the scan engine can decode, and allow for changes to many aspects of the data. With the 2-Dimensional Imager installed, the symbologies are divided once again into further sections of Linear, Postal, 2-D,

and OCR fonts.

The Editing section give control over customizing the data collected after it has been

scanned. Example options include stripping leading and trailing characters and adding prexes and sufxes. Bar code editing can be done on a global scale where all bar codes are affected, or it can be done on a symbol- ogy type basis. Up to four custom symbology type edits can be made on the Triton, along with a global edit.

General Setup gives control over global termination characters appended to the bar code

data, along with some scan engine specic settings like LED illumination with the 2-D Imager.

4) Security Options

The Triton allows for two different types of password protection. A power-up (boot) password

requires that the user enter a password to initialize the Triton for use.

The Settings Password, if enabled, requires the user to enter a password to authorize changes in the settings. It is always a good idea to enable a Settings Password to prevent users from

altering the unit’s settings.

2 - 15

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

*NOTE: If a Settings Password is set, the Triton’s embedded website password will also be changed to this password. If no Settings Password is set, then the embedded website password defaults to ‘aml’.

Once the user enters the Settings Password, they will not be asked again for it until completely exiting the Administration menu.

5) Power Options

The Triton has advanced power management features that enable ne tuning of the battery usage. The unit has an advanced sleep/suspend mode that can be tailored to any specic

situation. Even in sleep mode, the Triton can leave the internal 802.11b/g radio on to keep the association with the access point.

6) Port Options

The Triton contains two different user accessible ports: USB Slave (Type-B) and RS-232 serial.

7) Startup/Boot Options

The Startup options give control over system services and servers that will be started on boot. They include a standard TELNET server, SSH / SFTP server, FTP server, embedded HTTP server, the bar code scanner manager, and an alternative ‘Text Mode’ menu navigational system.

2 - 16

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

It is highly recommended that the TELNET and FTP servers remain disabled and encrypted SSH and SFTP be used in their place.

For the TELNET, SSH / SFTP, and FTP server - the default username is ‘root’ and the password is ‘aml’.

*NOTE: If a Settings Password has been enabled, it will also be used to access the embedded HTTP server’s page—the default password ‘aml’ will no longer be active.

The embedded HTTP server can be used to view the Triton system status/logs, update rmware, and upload settings les. Furthermore, it has the ability to display real-time images

of the Triton’s screen.

More information on the Triton’s HTTP server and web interface can be found in the Triton

Embedded Website section.

Text Mode is an alternative menu system emulating legacy based device(s). This option is specically targeted to operators who are already familiar with this type of legacy textbased menu system and may nd it more accommodating.

received signal is usable to transfer data. As the signal level lowers, the 802.11b/g data rate will also lower.

SSH Client Setup

The Triton software contains the OpenSSH suite of SSH networking tools.

The currently installed version is: OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e.

Setting up a Connection with the SSH Client

To set up a new connection using the SSH client:

1.) From the Administration menu, select the Terminal icon (option 7).

2.) Select one of the Custom icons (options 8 or 9)

3.) Enter the following into the Command text option without the quotes:

‘/usr/bin/ssh <hostaddress>’

where <hostaddress> is the IP address of the server to connect to.

If using a standard login with the SSH shell, use the following for the Command:

‘/usr/bin/ssh -l<myusername> <hostaddress>’

where <myusername> is the username to use when authenticating and <hostaddress> is

the IP address of the server to connect to. The user will be prompted to enter the password

during login.

If the server is using a non-standard TCP port to listen for SSH connections (i.e. not TCP port

22), add the following to the command strings:

‘-p <port>’

where <port> is the port number to use.

USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

SSH Client Setup - cont’d.

3.) Type ‘sshkeys’ and press [ENTER]. The public/private key pairs will be generated, a process that may take up to ve minutes. Throughout the generation, the user will be prompted to enter passphrases for the key generation. These passphrases would be supplied by a system administrator of the server that the unit will be connecting to, or, if they are not used, the user can simply hit [ENTER] to randomly generate the phrase.

4.) Once the generation of the SSH keys is complete, reboot the Triton.

*NOTE: The sshkeys script can also be run from a SSH or TELNET session connected to the device, or from the Linux console running on the RS-232 port, if enabled.

4) View Live Screen

The Live Screen option is a powerful real-time diagnostic tool. This will give the operator of the PC a true live image capture of what is currently displayed on the LCD. Clicking the refresh button on the web browser will refresh the image and update what is displayed.

*NOTE: The Live Screen web page is designed to not be cached by the web browser, but some browsers do not adhere to these guidelines. If the web page is refreshed but the same image is shown even when it is conrmed to be different on the hand-held, the web browsers cache should be cleared and the PC operator should re-login into the Triton’s web site. This can also happen if the Triton is powered off and back on in between refreshing the live image.
