<strong>LINX</strong> <strong>VII</strong>-5<br />
The<strong>LINX</strong><strong>VII</strong>-5 isaversatileterminal,<br />
offeringunparalleled programmability<br />
packaged inthesame rugged<strong>LINX</strong>case that<br />
has proven itselfoverdecades of usein all<br />
types ofenvironments.<br />
Whatsets this terminalapartfrom therestof<br />
the <strong>LINX</strong> terminallineis the integralweb<br />
serverand FTPserver. This allows the<br />
terminal to serveweb pages toabrowser,orto<br />
transfer files to otherdevices using FTP. This<br />
standardTCPcommunicationcapabilitygives<br />
the terminalenhanced diagnosticandremote<br />
managementcapabilities.<br />
Theterminal can beconfigured withastaticIP<br />
address ordynamically with DHCP,allowing it<br />
to be placed into networks ofmany different<br />
topologies.<br />
Applications can be created inawiderangeof<br />
differentwaysto suit any developer’s skill<br />
level. Fivedifferentdevelopmenttools can be<br />
used to develop any application.<br />
Thefirst way of using the terminalis to write<br />
an application thatruns onthehostcomputer,<br />
usingHCLsoftwarethatcommunicates with<br />
the <strong>LINX</strong><strong>VII</strong>-5 andtreats itas an I/Odevice.<br />

Thethird application typerequires only<br />
minimal programming skills.It uses scripting<br />
orcanned applicationprograms.<br />
Thefourthtype isacompleteend-to-end,<br />

This flexibility in programming gives the<br />
<strong>LINX</strong><strong>VII</strong>-5unparalleled utility in the office,<br />
ontheshop floor, inhealthcare, and many<br />
other environments.

Type 1-<br />
Hostcomputerdrivenapps<br />
Host Control Mode(HCL): The controllingprogram<br />
runson ahost computerrather thanonthe terminal<br />
itself.<br />
Automator Mode: Asimpler to useversionofHost<br />

Type 2- Nativeterminalmode<br />
Native Mode: Uses a“C” cross-compiler todevelop<br />
programsthatrundirectlyunder the controlofthe<br />
terminal’s OS. Itisdownloadedto flashmemory.<br />
Type 3- Simplified Programming Language<br />
Modes<br />
ScriptedMode: <strong>LINX</strong>Script offers nearlycomplete<br />
controloftheterminalbut without thecomplexitiesof<br />
Native, HCL, orAutomator modes. Theonlytools<br />
neededareanFTPclientandatext editor.<br />
Programming experience ishelpful.<br />
SPI: TheSimplifiedProgrammingInterfaceisusable<br />
bynon-programmerswhilestilloffering afairlyhigh<br />
degree of control.AnSPIprogramis simply asetof<br />
rulesthatdescribeswhattheterminal shoulddisplay<br />
and whattype of input should be acceptedfrom the<br />
user. RequiresonlyanFTPclientand atext editor.<br />

all asit istabledriven.<strong>LINX</strong> also providesaWindows<br />
based programthatcan prepareITAS configuration<br />

Type 4- End-ToEnddevelopment requiring no<br />

TurnkeySystem: A“wizard”developmenttool that<br />
generatescontrol files for thefollowingprograms:<br />

Itdoesnot requirethedeveloperto be a<br />
