Re: Bypass Signon for RF Scanners

JD, what scanners are you using?  I was just looking today for a
wireless way to check students in at various locations around campus and
maybe even to limited POS type credit card sales. To do the check in I
just need barcode but to do the credit cards I need mag stripe readers.
Do the scanners you use to both?

Hi All,

I have spent quite a bit of time searching for an answer on this, but
have come up empty.

We have a set of wireless 5250 scanners that I would like to bypass
signon and go directly to a simplified menu we created for the warehouse
personnel.  I have the scanners running in their own subsystem with all
the proper workstation entries to route the devices their (routed by IP
address).

What I cannot remember is how to get these devices to login
automatically.  I am almost positive we did it once before, but that was
years ago.

In my searches I came across the Telnet Exit Programs, but I am not
sure if they can actually handle logging in for a device.  I see how to
deny access, but not how to automatically grant it.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
JD
