Differences

While the new 7000 series RF Terminals are fully software compatible with the older 70 and 700 series
terminals, there are a few differences between them. The differences between the older generation of Worth
Data RF Terminals and the generation referred to within this manual are:

64 Terminals per Base Station instead of 16. Valid Terminal IDs are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and =.

Valid Channels are 0-5.

Base Station parameters (Baud Rate, Parity, Security Code, etc) are not set through the Terminal, but rather

set with a Windows program.

The maximum number of characters that can be sent to a Base Station by a host program is 1000 instead of

the old 247.
