Applications
If you are using the CommandLink™ software, and the proper User ID and Password are
entered, then the Applications Menu is displayed. These are the programs that are
available on the CommandLink™ Server for this user. Other users may see other
programs depending on the settings in the CommandLink™ Administrator.
Additional programs can be created and modified by using the CommandLink™
Developer. Refer to the CommandLink™ documentation for instructions on how to use
the CommandLink™ software.
Telnet
For users who have their own Telnet applications, the M71V2 handheld terminal can be
setup to simply run a telnet session.
In the above examples, it was assumed that the M71V2 would be connecting to a
CommandLink™ RF server. If you would like to connect to your own telnet server, the
procedure is exactly the same. To run your telnet session you would simply enter the IP
address of your telnet server. An instruction on setting the IP address is explained under
the section “Connection Settings” of this manual.
Once the M71V2 handheld terminal has successfully attached to a wireless network, it
automatically attempts to start a telnet session. The server address and parameters for
making this connection are listed under the Connection Settings menu of the M71V2
handheld terminal.

run concurrently on consoles by means of virtual consoles. The virtual consoles are
defined as follows:
