General Options

Use TCP No-Delay

Enable this option to enhance the performance of small-amount data transmission between Server and client Device. However, this function might result in excessive traffic of short packets.

No Pseudo-Terminal on Host

The “pseudo-terminal mode” is fundamental for VT (UNIX) host system to build up emulation sessions between client Devices. Disable it if necessary.

No Host Shell

Enable this option to have TE not run shell or command after

connecting to the remote host server. This option is applicable only when:

1. SSH connection is used for port forwarding, and your user account on the server is not allowed to run a shell.

2. SSH protocol version 2 is supported on host server.

Re-Key Every 60 Minutes

In RFC 4253 (the SSH Transport Layer Protocol), the Re-Key method ensures the key is exchanged only upon per gigabyte of

transmitted data or per hour of connection time, whichever occurs sooner. Enable these options to trigger TE to exchange a new key with the server every 60 minutes or following a total data flow of 1 Gigabyte in either direction.

Re-Key Every 1G of Traffic

Session: Four sessions are used for reading tags, and every session has 2 target states (A

and B). A tag is in state A if it is not read; once it is read, its state flips from “A” to “B” and

stops replying to readers.

Q Value: (two scenarios: a. Fix Q, b. Dynamic Q)

Q value is effected by the number of tags ranging from 0 to 15, and the tag population is

based on 2^Qvalue. For example, if the tag quantity is 50, it is suggested to set the Q value

as 6. However, dynamic Q is suggested for standard use.

Larger Q values decrease the probability of collision, and will reduce the throughput.

Dynamic Mode: When the checkbox is selected to enable dynamic mode, users can specify

the minimum/maximum Q value.

Inventory Status: Click the drop-down menu to select options.

STATE A – Tags are in state A before they are read, and they flip to state B once they are

read.

STATE B – Once a tag is read, it changes its state from “A” to “B”, and the tags in state B

stops responding to a reader using the same session query. The persistence of the tag in

state B varies based on the session.

AB FLIP – Repeats State A and State B over and over.

Data Output

Data output allows users to set the way to output decoded data.

Keyboard Emulation: Select the checkbox to enable treating the decoded data as typed

text and outputting it to the active application on the mobile computer.

UHF RFID reader to read the tags, and the decoded data will be output to the text input field.

Note: Keyboard Emulation is only available when the Trigger Key function is set as “Once”.

Inter-Character Delay: By default, the inter-character delay is set to zero. Specify a

value, ranging from 0 to 254 in units of millisecond, to match the computer response time

of the keyboard interface. Such delay time is inserted between characters being transmitted.

The longer the delay time is, the slower the transmission speed will be.
