6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide
Configuring Terminal Emulation over IP
For TE/IP, the host is usually specified by an IP address
(unless you are using a domain name server). This can
cause a problem because often the 6400 computer needs to
know which port the host application is residing on. The
default port number (23) is automatically assumed in TE/
IP. Therefore, if the default port is where the application is
residing, only the host IP address needs to be entered for
the TE program’s Host Name parameter.
If your application resides on a port other than 23, you
must configure the 6400 computer’s PCTCP.INI file and
host table file, and then configure the TE program’s Host
Name parameter.
1. Open the PCTCP.INI file and enter:
host--table = c:\<pathname>\<host table filename>
2. Open the host table file and enter:
127.0.0.1 LOCALHOST
<host I P address> <variable>
EXAMPLE:
127.0.0.1 LOCALHOST
192.168.5.40 X
3. Enter the Terminal Emulation menus and go to the
Host Name parameter. Enter the variable located in
the host table file followed by a space and then the
port number to which the terminal connects to the
host. For example
x15
"
NOTE:
You cannot enter the host IP address, a space, and then the port
number for the Host Name parameter, because the length of the
Host Name field is not long enough.
If you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and TE/IP, you do not need to specify a host IP ad-
dress and a port number for the Host Name parameter in
the terminal emulation menus.
