In this entry form the service IP address and port number can be changed. The
default Service IP address is “127-0-0-1” and the default port is “57007”.
Now load the PC_TK.CFG file in the working directory. If host validation is desired
(Local File Validation only), load the defined host validation file on the working
directory.
The Turn-Key host application can execute in BATCH or ONLINE mode. In the
ONLINE mode, there is a core service which will be running and will control the
communication with the terminals. The host application is connected with the
terminals through the service. This service will retrieve and store the data whenever
the data comes from the terminal. And the data is saved in the file named “zdata.txt”
in the working directory. The Host Control Application form shows all the terminals
on the network in a tree. Within this tree, you can click each node to get the specific
information such as terminal IP address, application owner and terminal status. The
terminal status has several states. “Ready” means the terminal is ready to
communicate with the host application and it can send messages to the terminal.
In BATCH mode, the Host program can either use FTP (if a local file is stored on the
terminal) to periodically retrieve the file at the defined interval or periodically
connect to the terminal to retrieve data stored in the Host queue. This periodic
interval is configurable and the default is 15 minutes. The data from the terminal
either through FTP or periodically connection is saved in the file named “zdata.txt”
in the working directory.
There is several choices under “option” menu. “Status Monitor” and “File transfer
utility” are 2 different applications.
