3 BIOS SETUP MENU

3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The DL9600 terminal is very versatile and can be adapted to suit many special requirements by configuring certain parameters which can be changed after the DL9600 terminal’s boot sequence.

The activities of accessing the parameters and their modification are commonly referred to as DL9600 terminal setup activities.

The parameters have their default values, which are loaded automatically during the booting sequence if the following conditions occur:

− the first time the DL9600 terminal is booted, as initial setup of the parameters

themselves;

− if, during the boot sequence, the BIOS notes that the previously-set configuration

parameters might not be complete or correct.

3.2 ACTIVATING THE SETUP PROCEDURE

The DL9600 terminal reads and applies the setup parameters at bootup.

At first the terminal reads the parameters from the CMOS RAM. If the CMOS RAM is corrupted, the parameters are read from the EEPROM memory. If the EEPROM memory is corrupted too, default values are applied to all the parameters.

The BSETUP.EXE program is the only way to modify the DL9600 terminal parameters, it is a normal DOS program and can be invoked after the DL9600 terminal boot sequence. The parameter modifications made by BSETUP.EXE take effect at the next boot sequence.

BSETUP.EXE can be run with one of the following two options:

BSETUP -C

BSETUP -D

In the NEWAUTO.BAT file it is useful to invoke “BSETUP -C”, so that if for some reasons the CMOS RAM is corrupted the user is notified.

the program checks the status of the CMOS. If the parameters are incorrect, it asks whether you want to modify them. Otherwise, the program exits. Default is no check.

with this option you can load the DEFAULT configuration.

Page 25

BIOS SETUP MENU

3.3 PASSWORD

The password mechanism is used for protecting access to DL9600 terminal parameters. If BSETUP.EXE is run with the -C option, it will warn the user about an eventual CMOS corruption before asking for the password. No password is required to be warned about the CMOS memory.

The application recognizes two passwords which are case sensitive: A) user defined B) the string "degibkdr”

If the user forgets the password, the fixed (B) password provides the key to access the setup procedure. If the CMOS becomes invalid, bsetup displays a "corrupted password" message and disables the password, allowing the user to directly access setup.

If a wrong password is entered, the program ends returning to the DOS prompt. Notice that the password protects only the DL9600 terminal parameters, not the terminal itself.

The password can be disabled by entering a null string.

3.4 THE SETUP MENU AND ITS CONFIGURABLE ITEMS

The actual items present in the BSETUP menus depend on the BSETUP.BIN file and the BIOS version. If the BSETUP.BIN does not match with the BIOS version, BSETUP.EXE will produce an error message.

The setup menu is composed of several pages, every page contains a list of items and every item corresponds to a terminal parameter. There is also an exit page that allows you to save or discard the modifications.

Every page has its own title, written in the upper row of the screen. Every item has a title and a value (the current value). The title is written on the left, the value on the right. The current item is characterized by a dot between the title and the value.

You can navigate through pages, move between items and modify them. You can recognize two types of parameters: valued and ranged. With the ranged parameters, you must enter a valid value. Erroneous values are recognized, and you must reenter a correct number. Erroneous values cannot be introduced with valued parameters because you can only select from the ones shown.

Page 26

DL9600 VIPER™

3.5 CHANGING THE VALUES OF THE MENU ITEMS

To change the values of the menu items, you must use the DL9600 terminal keyboard. To change an item, first go to its page and then select it by moving the dot.

To change the value of the items, you will have to use the keys indicated in the table below.

Scrolling Mode

The DL9600 has a CGA compatible display adapter and allows the application to write on a virtual 25 lines by 80 columns display. On the other hand, the user can see only a portion of this virtual display at a time, which we call the physical display. The "scroll" parameter controls which portion of the virtual display is seen by the user.

Fixed the physical display follows the cursor vertically, long lines are

automatically wrapped. The keyboard has no effect on the physical display position.

Virt the physical display follows the cursor vertically; by enabling the "scroll

control" mode the arrows allow both a vertical and horizontal scroll of the logical display.

Track the physical display follows the cursor both vertically and horizontally; by

enabling the "scroll control" mode the arrows allow both a vertical and horizontal scroll of the logical display.

Software the physical display position is fixed. It can be moved only by the

application software (see par. 4.3 and par. 4.4).

If the Automatic parameter is OFF, all other Power Management parameters have no meaning. When the Automatic parameter is ON, the Power Management proceeds as follows:

− after the high-low tout expires, the CPU automatically reduces its clock

frequency and passes from High speed to Low speed

− once the CPU is in Low speed and no activity occurs, (sleep tout expires), it

enters the SUSPEND state. The CPU resumes operations when a WAKEUP event occurs, or when the ON/OFF key or trigger are pressed.

− When the CPU is in SUSPEND and no WAKEUP event occurs, (off timeout

expires), it enters the OFF state through which all peripherals are disabled. The CPU resumes operation only when pressing the ON/OFF key or trigger.

USE AND FUNCTIONING

4 USE AND FUNCTIONING

The use of the DL9600 terminal is subordinate to the application software loaded. Once an application is loaded, barcode scanning can be performed by pressing the trigger button.

4.1 TERMINAL STARTUP

The DL9600 terminal turns on when the [ON/OFF] key or trigger is pressed.

For batch models, the prompt is displayed or if present the application program starts.

For radio models, the following popup window is briefly displayed while the radio connects with the base station:

Please Wait…

The terminal goes into low power consumption mode (display off), when it is no longer used for more than a programmable timeout (default 1 minute - par. 3.6.3). In this mode it can be awakened (resuming operation) by external events such as trigger press, radio transmission, etc. see par. 3.6.2).

If no external events cause wakeup, after another timeout (default 1 hour - par.

3.6.3) the terminal turns off. Upon pressing the [ON/OFF] key or trigger, the terminal turns on as initially described.

4.2 BARCODE SCANNING

4.2.1 Linear Barcode Scanning

To scan linear barcodes, point the DL9600 terminal laser beam onto the code from a distance within the reading range while pressing the trigger. See the reading diagrams in chapter 6 for the reading range of your model.

The lighted band emitted by the laser must completely intercept the barcode as shown in the figure below. The Good Read LED and the emission of an acoustic signal - if enabled - will indicate that the scan has taken place correctly.

Page 35

USE AND FUNCTIONING

4.2.2 2D Barcode Scanning

To scan 2D barcodes, point the DL9600 terminal laser beam onto the code from a distance within the reading range while pressing the trigger. See the reading diagrams in chapter 6 for the reading range of your model.

The lighted band emitted by the laser must completely intercept the barcode as shown in the figure below.

± 4° ma

The terminal automatically recognizes the 2D code and will produce a raster pattern which fully covers the code so that it can be read; therefore you do not have to move the terminal to read the code.

The Good Read LED and the emission of an acoustic signal - if enabled - will indicate that the scan has taken place correctly.

4.5 CONTROL PANEL

If the CTLPANEL.EXE TSR runs, it is possible to visualize the control panel on the DL9600 display by pressing the FUNC - ENTER sequence (48-Key models) or the FUNC - TAB sequence (32-Key models):

You can manage each item by directly pressing the following keys:

<arrow up> Previous item <arrow down> or TAB Next item <left arrow> Previous parameter value <right arrow> or ENTER Next parameter value

The "cradle setup" area allows modifying the cradle communication parameters. Every time the DL9600 is inserted into the CC9600 cradle it sends the configuration parameters to the cradle. Then, the CC9600 resets to its default values every time the DL9600 is extracted. It is possible to cause the cradle to ignore the new configuration during the terminal insertion by running the CTLPANEL.EXE with the -I option.

If the terminal is powered by the serial cable or inserted into the cradle, by selecting the virtual "Discharge" button and pressing the ENTER key on the keyboard the discharge cycle starts.

On the lower part of the screen it is possible to view date, time and charger status information. The charger status is shown only if the terminal is powered from the serial cable or inserted into the cradle. The possible values are:

- Slow charge: the temperature is too low or high to start the fast charge

- Fast charge: the charger is working

- End charge: the battery is fully charged and the charger is stopped

- Discharging: the battery is being discharged

- Failure: signals some battery charging errors

Page 45

USE AND FUNCTIONING

4.6 STATUS INDICATORS

The DL9600 provides three different LEDs and a beeper signaling the terminal status.

Page 46

DL9600 VIPER™

5 MAINTENANCE

Rechargeable battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the first operation to perform is to charge them. See par. 5.1.

NOTE

5.1 CHARGING THE BATTERIES

The battery autonomy varies according to factors, such as the frequency of barcode scanning, the RF usage and of BIOS settings.

When the batteries are low, the red LED positioned beneath the left lower corner of the display blinks and a warning acoustic signal is emitted.

It is possible to recharge the batteries by placing the DL9600 in its cradle or by using the DL9600 cable (see par. 2.1.2).

The charging process is signaled by a bi-colored charging status LED positioned beneath the right lower corner of the display (see par. 4.6).

If the battery pack is removed from the terminal, it can be recharged by inserting it into the multicharger or in the recharging slot available in the cradle.

NOTE

If the batteries are new or have not been recharged for a long time, it is necessary to perform two or three charging and discharging cycles (complete use) before they can reach their maximum charge capability. The maximum time required to recharge a completely run-down battery pack is about 2 hours for NiMh batteries and 5 hours for Li-Ion batteries.

Page 47

MAINTENANCE

5.2 REPLACING THE BATTERIES

To correctly replace the batteries, proceed as follows.

1- Turn off the DL9600 terminal.

2- Press the lock button as indicated in the figure below:

3- Remove the battery pack by pulling down the lower part of the handle:

Page 48

GLOSSARY

Access Point

A device that provides transparent access between Ethernet wired networks and IEEE 802.11 interoperable radio-equipped mobile units (MUs). Datalogic hand-held computers, or other devices equipped with a PCMCIA slot, communicate with wired networks using Access Points (AP). The mobile unit may roam among the APs in the same subnet while maintaining a continuous, seamless connection to the wired network.

Bar Code

A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.

Baud Rate

A measure for data transmission speed.

BIOS

Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a standard API used to interface with standard PC hardware.

Bit

Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps)

Number of bits transmitted or received per second.

Byte

On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to store one ASCII character.

Data Communications Equipment (DCE)

A device such as a modem that is designed to attach directly to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device.

Page 53

Data Terminal Equipment

A device such as a terminal or printer that is designed to attach directly to a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) device.

Decode

To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9, UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the bar code scanned.

DOS

Disk Operating System. This is basic software that allows you to load and use software applications on your computer.

EEPROM

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An on-board non-volatile memory chip.

Flash Disk

Non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files.

Host

A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require external light to reflect their information to the user.

Light Emitting Diode (LED)

A low power electronic light source commonly used as an indicator light. It uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

RAM

Random Access Memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.

Radio Frequency.

Terminal

A Datalogic portable computer product.
