PORTABLE DATA COLLECTION DL8600 Palm Key-Based DOS Terminal FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION z Datalogic is proud to announce a new terminal of the rugged mobile@work™ product line: DL8600 Kyman™. The first key-based palm terminal in Datalogic’s line of products for industrial envi- z WLAN 802.11b or OpenAir radio ronments, DL8600Kyman™ is a light-weight hand-held terminal with advanced options bar code scanning, data processing and communications features. It has been z RadioReady concept conceived to provide the highest productivity and comfort in demanding envi- z High autonomy Ni-MH and Li-ION ronments, to link users to data and to each other in transportation and logistics battery pack applications such as warehouses, docks, yards, and on the road. z Advanced connectivity management Kyman™ represents a light-weight solution powered by a innovative PC-like architecture, the same of Viper™, with RadioReady support. z Robustness and Ergonomics Ease of use and reliability are benefits that are valued across all markets. DL8600 z Multiple scanning engine Kyman™ features a bright, easy-to-read 1/8 VGA display and rechargeable, z Battery Hot Swapping long-lasting lithium-ion or nickel-metal-hydrate batteries, which contribute to Kyman™’s universal market appeal. Sealed to IP54 standards, the rugged durabil- ity of DL8600 Kyman™ meets the needs of many industrial environments. Built to be a open system, the DL8600 Kyman™ supports the most widespread APPLICATIONS mobile standards, such as IEEE 802.11b and OpenAir, depending on the PC card used, and it makes communication management extremely straightforward in z Warehousing both new and existing installations. z Retail Communication management to the legacy system takes advantage of the new z Transportation software product line that includes terminal emulation connectivity for OS/400, Unix, and Microsoft Windows platforms, including the most diffused ERPs, such as SAP R/3. Kyman™ fills the gap between office automation oriented and pure industrial mobile data collection solutions. DL8600 WiredLAN DATA TRANSMISSION / COMMUNICATION The mobile@work™ systems allow many types of reliable communications. A sophisticated industrial connector is located on the terminal that provides an immediate and sturdy communication interface through the serial EIA RS232 standard. The same connector also allows the batteries to be recharged in fast-charge mode. When a wireless serial link is needed, the integrated IrDA interface can be conveniently used. Datalogic supplies a universal driver compliant with the most widespread mobile printers, so that barcode labels and notes can be easily printed by the user in field. The most advanced features of the mobile@work™ product line are suited to support wireless communication through a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). Access Point Access Point The most diffused WLAN PC-cards can be successfully used with the RadioReady Access Point concept. Datalogic provides both IEEE 802.11b and OpenAir WLAN equipments, such as PC- card, included in the terminal, and the Access Point, which provides bridging between wired and wireless devices. The Access Point can be configured and managed through the wired or wireless network, by serial connection or modem, with the use of Telnet Access software, web browser or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). USER INTERFACE All the components of the user interface have been designed with the aim to provide the highest ease of use, beginning with the wide and tall contrast LCD display (160 x 240 pixels) capable of visualising any oper- ation in all ambient light conditions. Designers can use the display format that best suits their particular application needs, using the several font formats available. The full alphanumeric keypad is optimised in terms of space, scheme and ease of operation to accommodate the integration of a graphic overlay. An innovative feature of the mobile@work™ product line is battery hot swapping. The battery can be easily substituted without losing data and time, so that user productivity is optimized to a downtime close to zero. ACCESSORIES The CC8600 Single Cradle, specifically developed to support batch applications, provides charging power to the DL8600 Kyman™ and a spare battery pack. It supports direct serial connection through RS232 standard and Multidrop connection through a RS485 double-interface. The MBC8600 Multiple Battery Charger is the ideal accessory for 24-hour applications or wireless applications. It is able to quickly charge and to re-condition 4 NiMH battery packs simultaneously. The new power supply FPS18 (14 VDC 4A) has been added to perfectly meet the mobile@work™ product line requirements. This provides the ideal solution for all DL8600 Kyman™ applications either with direct connections through CAB-4001 or with the CC8600 and MBC8600. The FPS18 is a full range power supply, from 90 to 250 VAC with a standard plug for PC/monitor cable. CC8600 - Single Cradle MBC8600 - 4 slot Multiple Battery Charger CONNECTIVITY TOOLS Kyman™ has been developed to be a high-tech mobile terminal with characteristics designed for wireless applications. For the user it represents a tool to collect information, compute it and communicate with the host system. A complete set of software tools has been specifically developed by Datalogic for this purpose. The DL-TCL™ is the Terminal Emulation Client based on a standard Telnet TCP/IP protocol ideal for applications when direct connection to host systems is required. The DL TN-Link™ and the DL WEB-Link™ are software packages addressed to Windows programmers to completely manage each mobile unit directly from a PC. D DL L-T TC CL L™ Terminal Emulation Client The DL-TCL™ is a software tool embedded in all devices, that allows communication between RF versions of the Kyman™, legacy systems and Windows based applications via VT100, VT220 and IBM5250 terminal emulation. The set-up and download of DL-TCL™ is provided by the DL Terminal IBM5250 VT100/220 VT100/220 Configurator, a Windows-based management tool for quick and flexible customization of all terminal and network DL TN-Link™ parameters to better answer specific wireless application needs. On-board settings of the parameters, autorun option, keyboard mapping, row relocation, automated login, FTP IBM AS400 server functions and diagnostic log file activation are some of DEC/HP (UNIX) the features that make the DL-TCL™ a complete and flexible terminal emulation solution. DL-TCL™ connectivity scenario D DL L T TN N-L Li in nk k™ Windows run-time driver The DL TN-Link™ is based on Active_X architecture. It D T E includes two basic components, Client-Pro™ that is used to I S I M G E design the user screen and run-time OCX, that can be N added to the RAD language programming suite. This approach allows the programmer to manage the mobile unit from the main application through a set of standard T R I U M commands. On each screen created by the Client-Pro™ util- N E ity, data entry can be completely customized, enabling laser input only when necessary. On Datalogic DOS-based terminals (Kyman™, Viper™ and Formula DOS terminals) it is only required to install termi- nal emulation software VT100. DL TN-Link™ D DL L W WE EB B-L Li in nk k™ Application Generator DL WEB-Link™ is based on web technology. It takes advan- tage of Internet Protocol embedded capability, managing communication between the database and the mobile unit through a standard IIS (Internet Information Server). The DL WEB-Link™ solution is composed of two elements: the Web Application Generator and Web Client for DOS terminals. The first is used to build up an application by creating a set of pages ASP (Active Server Page) that directly interact with the database located on the host side, using a standard XML/HTML approach. The second is none other than a character based web browser, specifically developed for Datalogic DOS terminals (Kyman™, Viper™ and Formula DL WEB-Link™ DOS terminals).
