Barcoding - Wireless Terminal Emulation

The User's Difference:

  Change a battery while working without dropping a session or losing data

With Stay-Linked, the terminal emulation session resides on the host computer, next to the host-based application. Only a thin client is installed on the remote wireless device, which is used to communicate with the host-based Stay-Linked Server.

So if a worker needs to change a battery–even in the middle of a transaction—the host-resident session stays alive. When the worker reconnects, he's returned to the exact same screen and cursor location. Flawlessly.

  True terminal session management—even when a device is offline

It's simple, really.

With Stay-Linked, the terminal emulation session resides on the host computer, next to the host-based application. Only a thin client is installed on the remote wireless device, which is used to communicate with the host-based Stay-Linked Server.

The Stay-Linked Administrator console runs on any network-connected Windows computer. It looks at the same terminal emulation session that's being displayed on the remote device.

Sessions can be monitored, taken over, partnered, or even transferred to another remote device. All from the Help Desk.

Out of range? Dead battery? Device run over by a forklift? No problem (except for the guy who left the device in front of the forklift). The host-based session is still alive, and can be completed, shared, or even transferred to another device. Flawlessly.

Vehicle mount and wireless handheld work together via Session Partnering

We've all heard the story:

A forklift driver tries to scan a barcode with a tethered scanner, but finds he's 6 inches short of where he needs to be.

So he tries to move the forklift by pulling on the tether. Of course, the tether breaks.

With Stay-Linked, a wireless handheld device can share a host-resident terminal emulation session with a vehicle-mount, giving the forklift operator unlimited range within his workspace.

And there are no Bluetooth distance limitations—Stay-Linked Session Partnering uses Access Point connections for both wireless devices. Two devices, one session. Flawlessly.
