2430 The 2430 is a programmable data collection terminal that runs custom batch
applications. The 2430 has a flash drive to store applications and files and an integrated
input/output (I/O) port to transmit data to and accept data from a host computer or other
serial device using RS-232 communications. The versatile display features of the 2430
allow you to resize the screen based on operator preference and work environment.
2435 The 2435 has all of the same functionality as the 2430 with the additional ability
for real-time communications through an RF network. The 2435 can communicate with
a host either through the access points and the DCS 30X or directly through the access
points. The 2435 can also run client/server applications, TE 2000
terminal emulation
applications, and Data Collection Browser
(dcBrowser
), which lets you run Web-
based applications.
The 2435 with an IEEE 802.11b radio (with radio firmware 4.52/6.04 and higher)
installed is Wi-Fi certified for interoperability with other 802.11b wireless LAN
devices.
