Document Change Record
This page records changes to this document. The document was originally released as version 001.
Version Date Description of Change
002 7/1997 This manual was changed to add information about the TRAKKER Antares 2420
terminal and to document the new firmware version.
The new information includes: the TRAKKER Antares 2420 terminal and features, RS-
232 serial communications on the TRAKKER Antares 2425 terminal, TRAKKER
Antares firmware version 2.10, multiple drives and applications on the TRAKKER
Antares 2420 and 2425 terminals, and Western European keypad and character support
on the TRAKKER Antares 2420 and 2425 terminals.
All the functionality described in this manual applies to TRAKKER Antares terminals
with firmware version 1.X and later. However, this manual does describe features that are
only available in TRAKKER Antares firmware version 2.0 and later.
003 12/1997 This manual was changed to add information about the TCP/IP radio frequency network
protocol option on the TRAKKER Antares 2425 terminal and to document the new
firmware version.
The new information includes: TRAKKER Antares 2420 and 2425 firmware version
2.20, the TCP/IP network protocol option on the TRAKKER Antares 2425 terminal that
allows a direct connection from the access points to the host computer, and new terminal
emulation features including auto-login, password security for the TE Configuration
Menu, and international characters display support in TE applications.
The manual was also reorganized to move all information about terminal emulation
applications into a separate guide that ships with the manual. The TRAKKER Antares
Terminal Emulation User’s Guide now contains all the information you need to configure
and use terminal emulation applications. All other information is covered in this user’s
manual.
004 7/1998 An addendum (P/N 067224-001) was added to this manual.
The addendum provides information for firmware version 3.2X: configuring row spacing
and video mode, the space/backspace key has been reversed (Press « for backspace and
press ) « for space.), four-digit date format, configuring the optional 2MB flash
memory, ISBT Code 128, configuration commands to support COM4, configuring the
T2425 to work with DHCP, receiving and transmitting files using YMODEM and
XMODEM-1K, and information on the high density, long range, and high visibility scan
modules.
005 2/1999 This manual was revised to incorporate the addendum and to document new information
for firmware version 5.X: information is included about using the APPTSK.BIN and
EM9560.BIN applications that are preloaded on the terminals, you now use a
programmable terminal instead of a screen mapping terminal to do screen mapping with
the host through the DCS 300, information is included about using the serial interface
module for COM4, XON/XOFF is allowed in Frame mode, and new Set Time and Date
reader command for 95XX terminal compatibility.
006 8/1999 This manual was revised to remove the TRAKKER Antares Terminal Emulation User’s
Guide, P/N 066694-003, and add the Important Terminal Emulation Information sheet,
P/N 069993-001. Also added the dcBrowser information sheet, P/N 070012-001.
007 10/2000 This manual was revised to add the Trakker Antares 24XX Terminal User’s Manual
Addendum, P/N 070451-001.
iv Trakker Antares 242X Handheld Terminal User’s Manual
Document Change Record (continued)
Version Date Description of Change
008 6/2002 Removed system level information that is already included in the Trakker Antares
®
2400
Family System Manual (P/N 071389). The user’s manual now contains information about
how to operate the 242X, and the 2400 Family system manual contains configuration
and reader commands and other information that applies across the Trakker Antares
2400 Family.
Removed and discontinued these documents, because this information is included in the
system manual: the Important Terminal Emulation Information Sheet (P/N 069993-001)
and the Important Data Collection Browser Information Sheet (P/N 070012-002).
Removed these documents, because this information is included in the system manual:
the Trakker Antares 2400 Family User’s Manual Addendum (P/N 070451), the Trakker
Antares 2400 Family Firmware V6.15 Instruction Sheet (P/N 071388), and the Trakker
Antares 2400 Family Firmware V6.20 Instruction Sheet (P/N 071867).
Explained the new features and changes for firmware versions 6.X through 7.12: changed
all references from the Model 200 Controller to the DCS 30X, the data collection server
that replaces the Model 200 Controller, added information about the IEEE 802.11b
radio parameters, included information about the PDF417 and advanced long range scan
module options, added information to support Wireless Transport Protocol (WTP), and
removed Trakker Antares native terminal emulation.
Made minor corrections and changes throughout the manual to support firmware version
7.12.
009 12/2002 Added information to support the 802.1x security option in firmware version 7.14.
010 02/2004 Incorporated information from the Trakker Antares 2400 Family System Manual
Addendum (P/N 073395-001).
Referenced the following new feature for firmware version 8.01:
Trakker Antares support on the Wavelink Avalanche client management system.

2420 Handheld terminal 2425 Handheld terminal
2420
The 2420 is a programmable data collection terminal that runs custom
batch applications. It has a 750K flash drive to store applications and files
and 512K of RAM reserved for custom applications. The 2420 also has 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.
2425
The 2425 has all of the same functionality as the 2420 with the additional
ability for real-time communications through an RF network. The 2425
can communicate with a host either through the access points and the
DCS 30X or directly through the access points. The 2425 can also run
client/server applications, TE 2000 terminal emulation applications, and
Data Collection Browser (dcBrowser), which lets you run web-based
applications.
The 2425 is also supported by the Wavelink Avalanche client management
system. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Configuring and Managing
the Terminals,” in the Trakker Antares 2400 Family System Manual (P/N
071389).
The 2425 with an IEEE 802.11b radio installed is Wi-Fi certified for
interoperability with other 802.11b wireless LAN devices.

the application and language you ordered.
Serial port The serial port supports RS-232 communications with other
RS-232 devices.
Rechargeable batteries The 242X uses a lithium-ion battery pack (sold separately) for
main power. The terminal also has a rechargeable Nickel-
Cadmium (NiCad) backup that maintains the terminal’s
status, memory, and real-time clock (for up to 15 minutes).
Antenna (2425 only) The 2425 uses an antenna that supports radio frequency (RF)
communications.
Scan module, serial
module, or input

Accessories for the Terminal
You can use the following accessories (sold and ordered separately) with
the terminals.
242X Accessories
Accessory Description
Main Battery Pack The lithium-ion battery pack (P/N 073152) is the main
power source for the 242X and charges the backup battery
when required.
Backup Battery The NiCad backup battery (P/N 063189) provides backup
battery power for a maximum of 1 month if a fully-charged
main battery pack is installed or a maximum of 3 days if a
main battery pack is not installed.
Z2400 Battery Charger The charger (P/N Z2400A) lets you charge up to four
lithium-ion battery packs at one time. The battery charger
senses when a battery pack is fully charged and will not
overcharge it, ensuring long and consistent battery pack life.
You must connect a power supply to the charger charge the
batteries.
Belt Clip The belt clip (P/N 064022) lets you attach the terminal to
your belt and have it hang at your side so you can have both
hands free. The belt clip snaps around your belt and a Velcro
strap holds the terminal to the belt clip.
Handstrap The elastic handstrap (P/N 064020) attaches to the back of
