This chapter introduces the Native terminal emulation application.
1Native Terminal Emulation Programmer’sGuide
Getting StartedChapter —1
Understanding Network Protocol Options
Native Terminal Emulation applications for the Enterprise Wireless
LANt system use one of the following network protocol options:
S TCP/IP
The terminal communicates through an IntermecRaccess point, which
is directly connected to the host computer on an Ethernet or a token
ring network.
S WTP
The terminal communicates with the host computer through the Intermec Application Server, Intermec access point, or other Intermec gateways.
For network configuration options, refer to your terminal’s user manual.
Setting Up the Terminal and the Network
Before you can start using the Native Terminal Emulation application on
your terminal, you need to do the following:
1 Set up your terminal.
Set-up includes charging and installing the battery pack and turning on
the terminal for the first time. For instructions, refer to your terminal’s
user manual.
Note: Battery packs do not apply to all terminals. Vehicle mount and
stationary terminals are powered via an external source.
2 Configure your terminal and the network.
To use RF communications on the terminal, you need to:
a Configure the Intermec Application Server (WTP), other Intermec
gateways (WTP), or host (TCP/IP).
b Configure the access point. This does not apply to the 2480/2481 Ter-
minal, which contains an Ethernet NIC instead of a radio.
c Configure the network parameters on the terminal.
Forinstructions,refertoyourterminal’susermanual.
3 Verify that your terminal is communicating correctly with the access
point, gateway, or host.
To verify that your terminal is communicating correctly, refer to the
terminal’s user manual for instructions.
2 Native Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Guide
Starting the Native Terminal Emulation Application
You are ready to start your application once the terminal has been set up,
the terminal and the network have been configured, and communications
have been established with the gateway and access point or host.
To start your application:
Turn on the terminal. Wait a few seconds while the initialization screens
(below) clear and the application starts.

Note: If your application does not start after a few seconds, you may not
have configured the terminal correctly. For help, refer to your terminal’s
user manual.
You can now do one of the following:
S Become f amiliar with Native TE if you have not previously used it.
S Perform a quick configuration.
S Configure your Native TE application.
S Customize your Native TE application.
Becoming Familiar With Native Terminal Emulation
If you have not previously used Native TE, see Chapter 3, “Using the Terminal’s Keyboard,” to become familiar with your terminal’s keyboard and
the keys you need to press to perform Native commands. See Chapter 6,
“Terminal Commands,” to understand Native commands.

Performing a Quick Configuration
Note: For Terminal Emulation Version 6.60 or greater, the default data
stream is “VT/ANSI.”
1 Change the data stream to Native. The default data stream is “Native”
for the 6400 (WTP), 5055 (WTP), 11XX, 17XX, and 59XX Terminals.
The default data stream f or 2415, 2425, 2435A, 2455, 2475, 248X,
and IP terminals is “3270.”
a Access the terminal emulation configuration menus by pressing the
following keys, then choose 1) Set-up Parms from the Main Menu.

4 From the Main Menu, select 6) Exit Menus.
Note: For WTP devices, you should also set a terminal number.
5 Log in to a TE session, then use the terminal to collect/transmit data.

Configuring the Native Application
You can use the terminal’s TE configuration menus to configure site-specific operational parameters, including WTP or TCP/IP communications,
terminal emulation options, and the Main Menu password. For information about configuring the terminal, see Chapter 3, “Using the Terminal
Emulation Menus.”
Using Advanced Features
You can customize the standard Native TE program to do the following:
For more information, see Chapter 4, “Customizing Your Configuration.”
S Use the auto-login feature to send the same login information each time
you login to the host.
S Create a custom parameter set-up file.
S Change the text of TE configuration menus or system messages.
S Preinitialize the Native TE program
