Terms and Conventions
The following special terms and conventions occur throughout the manual.
PC Keypad Input
Keystrokes to be entered into the PC are emphasized in bold. “Choose Y”
means you press the key labeled “Y” on the PC keyboard.
When you need to press and release a series of keys in order, the keys appear
in order with no connectors. “Press Shift A” means that you press and release
the Shift key, and then press A.
When you must press more than one key at the same time, the keys are
connected by a dash in the text. “Press Ctrl-Alt-Del” means that to perform a
warm boot on the host PC, you need to hold down the Ctrl, Alt,and Del keys
at the same time. When the keys are connected by a dash, you must press and
hold the keys in the order shown.
JANUS Keypad Input
Key icons represent keystrokes you enter on the JANUS device. For example,
“press
@
“ directs you to press the key labeled “
@
” on the JANUS
keypad.
PC and JANUS Commands
Command syntax appears in the text as you should enter it into the PC or
JANUS device. For example, to see a listing of directories on the device, type

Format Conventions for Bar Codes
You can scan the bar codes listed in this manual to enter data or perform a
command. The bar code labels in this manual are printed in the Code 39
symbology. Each bar code includes the name and human-readable
interpretation. For example:
The asterisks (*) at the beginning and end of the human-readable interpretation
are the start and stop codes for a Code 39 bar code label. If you are creating bar
code labels with a bar code utility, it may automatically supply the asterisks as
the start and stop code, so that you only need to type the actual text of the
command. You can also create and print configuration labels and reader
command labels in Code 93, which has its own start and stop codes.
Other Related Manuals
You may need to refer to other manuals when working with JANUS
900 MHz terminal emulation software. To order additional manuals, contact

This chapter provides basic information for setting up and using your JANUS data
collection computer with 900 MHz terminal emulation software.
Introduction
Your JANUS900 MHz device with terminal emulation (TE) software is a
DOS-compatible, data collection computer that emulates IBM 3270, IBM 5250,
or VT/ANSI terminals. Your JANUS 900 MHz RF device is shipped to you
ready-to-use with terminal emulation software and special TE keypads (for
3270 and 5250) already installed.
You can use your JANUS TE device to:
• View terminal screens on your JANUS display.
• Enter data into the screens using the scanner or keypad.
• Access host commands and perform host functions.
• Automatically transmit the data to the host.
Other features of your JANUS TE device include:
• Auto-login capability.
• Password security.
• Choice of SNA or TCP/IP protocols for IBM terminal emulation.
• 5250 Field Advance configuration.
• Support for display of single byte international character sets.

Typical 900 MHz Configuration
In a typical 900 MHz RF configuration, JANUS devices communicate with a
9181 Base Radio Unit (BRU) using radio frequency (RF) communications. The
9181 communicates with the Model 200 Controller using a serial connection.

Starting Terminal Emulation
Before you can begin using your JANUS device with terminal emulation, you
must start the terminal emulation program. You only need to start the program
the first time you use it or if you exit. The JANUS device resumes terminal
emulation for each data collection session.
To start terminal emulation
1. Type te at the DOS prompt on your JANUS device and press
@
to start
the terminal emulation program. The factory installed TE.BAT file loads the
configured TE program(3270, 5250, or VT/ANSI).
2. Wait a few seconds while the display clears and the terminal emulation
program starts.
When the display on your JANUS device shows a login screen (VT/ANSI)
or Sign on screen (3270 or 5250), you are ready to use your device as a
terminal.

Exiting Terminal Emulation
If you want to use your JANUS device for another application, you must exit
the terminal emulation program. Pressing the
L
button does not exit terminal
emulation, instead it toggles the JANUS device between an operating state and
a suspend state. Once you have started terminal emulation, your JANUS
device resumes the terminal emulation program every time you press
L
and
switch it to an operating state.
Note: If the terminal emulation security feature is enabled, you will be asked to provide
a password when you access the TE Configuration menu. For more information on
establishing TE security, see “Setting Security for the TE Configuration Application”
in Chapter 3.
To exit 3270 and 5250 terminal emulation
1. Press < 7 to access the TE Configuration menu.
2. Highlight the Exit TE option and press @ .
To exit VT/ANSI terminal emulation
1. Press
> I
to access the TE Configuration Menu.
2. Highlight the Exit TE option and press
@
.
Or,
Press
> K
to exit terminal emulation directly.
