Before you make a host connection, you will, at a minimum, need to know:
• the alias name or IP address (Host Address) and
• the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system
to properly set up your host session.
Make sure the mobile client network settings are configured and functional. If you are connecting
over wireless LAN (802.11b/g), make sure your mobile client is communicating with the Access
Point.
1. From Start | Programs, run LXE RFTerm or tap the RFTerm icon on the desktop.
2. Select Session | Configure from the application menu and select the host type that you require.
This will depend on the type of host system that you are going to connect to; i.e. 3270
mainframe, AS/400 5250 server or VT host.
3. Enter the Host Address of the host system that you wish to connect to. This may either be a
DNS name or an IP address of the host system.
4. Update the telnet port number, if your host application is configured to listen on a specific
port. If not, just use the default telnet port.
5. Select OK.
6. Select Session | Connect from the application menu or tap the Connect button on the
Command Bar. Upon a successful connection, you should see the host application screen
displayed.
To change options such as Display, Colors, Cursor, Barcode, etc., please refer to the RFTerm
Reference Guide on the LXE Manuals CD.
Saving Settings
When returning from a Cold Reset the previously saved (or original if this is the first Cold Reset)
registry savings are reloaded.
When you want to save the registry without having to reset the MX5X, double-tap the RegSave
file (located in the Windows folder).
The RegSave utility creates the RegTemp.reg registry backup file. The registry is reloaded from
the RegTemp.reg file after a Cold Reset.
The registry save process takes 5 – 10 seconds. It is also saved after each Resume from Suspend
and each time the OK button is tapped in Control Panel applets.
