Under “Start Dir :” we have added the startup directory “/bin/”
Under “Start Prog :” we have added the startup program “links” (case sensitive).
Under “Start Param:” we have added the start parameters “-g www.amltd.com”
Remember to use the “<Save Settings>” to make your changes permanent.
We might also need to increase the “Network Delay:” to a larger value to give the network
time to connect to the internet and find the requested website. The user can also use the
M7140 menu system to force a “Reconnect” if the network is not ready when the M7140 is
first powered on.
3270 and 5250 TE Clients
The M7140 Expanded Memory version desktop terminal can run an optional 3270 or 5250
terminal emulation client from Connect Inc.
The 3270 and 5250 TE clients are typically used with IBM AS/400 and IBM mainframe
systems. This optional software allows the M7140 desktop terminal to work just like a
standard IBM workstation terminal but with a smaller display.
The Connect TE software also has the ability to re-format the larger IBM workstation display
screens into the smaller M7140 handheld screens. This process is referred to screen mapping,
screen formatting or screen scraping. The ability to re-format the keyboard is also included
with the Connect software as well as PC based terminal manager software.
The M7140 Tool Chain
The M7140 is supplied with open-source Linux as a standard feature. In accordance with the
open-source or GNU license, all the M7140 source code is available to any M7140 owner
upon request. To obtain a copy of this code simply request the Tool Chain CD.
The Tool Chain CD comes with a StrongARM-Linux-GCC cross compiler and source code
that can be used on any Intel Linux platform to cross-compile applications. Technical
information on using the Tool Chain are included.
