RE: Symbol scanners key mapping

Hi Dan,

Thanx for the reply.

But, where I am confused is that we do not have an Avalanche Server, or
anything similar. It is my understanding our scanners connect to our
AS/400 via the access points, then to our network, then to our AS/400 and
MAPICS. We do not have any Servers residing on our AS/400.

All of our scanners that we purchased were already configured correctly.
All of them the same. This happened with these 2 scanners when we sent
them in for repairs, they came back different.

Thanx,

Nick

RE: Symbol scanners key mapping






Hi Nick,

I think you are actually using WaveLink/Avalanche with the WaveLink
emulator. Avalanche is the deployment mechanism. From what I remember
the keyboard maps are configured centrally and Avalanche deploys them to
the devices. Again, it has been sometime since I have looked at
Avalanche but there should be a server (not the System i) that contains
these and other configurations. Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

We had 2 Symbol TN5250 Scanners that we had to send out for repairs.
When
we got them back, the keyboard mapping seemed to be screwed up. The big

red Enter key, which has "Fld Exit" above it, is now really the Enter
Key.
It used to be Field Exit. The Snd/Clr button used to be the Enter Key,

just like all the rest of the Scanners we have. It is now the Field
Exit
key.

The company that we sent these out to do the repairs says this is a
result
of the Wavelength/Avalanche software that is loaded on the scanners. I
thought Wavelength is strictly used for the communication to our Access
Points.

Does anybody know of a way to change the mapping of these 2 keys?

We are at V4R5, old, on our System i.
