Learning About the Data Collection Browser
The Intermec Data Collection Browser™ (dcBrowser™) provides a
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) application development
environment for Intermec data collection devices. Use dcBrowser to run
HTML applications in your data collection network and to send the
information to your enterprise information system.
Using the dcBrowser has many advantages:
You can simplify application development by using state-of-the-art
tools.
You can leverage access to legacy information through existing HTML
applications for your PC. You only need to develop new web pages for
the devices.
You can use the same application for all your data collection devices,
since dcBrowser can reformat web pages for different screen sizes.
You have reduced support costs. You can easily upgrade your
applications, since they reside in a central location on the web server.
You reduce project risk by using web-based middleware servers. In other
words, you can deploy a data collection network and retain the
flexibility to change the back-end system.
You use less bandwidth in your data collection network because the data
collection devices only provide the user interface, while the web server
provides all of the computational power.
You create applications using standard web technology software tools.
These applications reside on a web server. The dcBrowser gateway converts
standard web (HTML v3.2 syntax) pages received from web servers into
condensed ASCII and sends them to the dcBrowser client running on the
device.
This flow of data is illustrated on the next page:
1 A device running the dcBrowser client is turned on, and it requests a
web page.
2 If the device is configured for TCP/IP, the device connects directly to
the dcBrowser gateway. If the device is configured for UDP Plus or
WTP, the device connects to the dcBrowser gateway through the
Intermec Gateway.
3 The dcBrowser gateway identifies the web home page for this device.
The dcBrowser gateway requests this home page from the web server.
4 The web server sends the requested home page to the dcBrowser
gateway.
5 The dcBrowser gateway interprets the web home page, creates a
compressed data format, and sends it to the device.
Chapter 1 — Getting Started
Data Collection Browser User’s Guide 3
dcBrowser: This diagram shows the logical data flow for TCP/IP devices and for UDP
Plus or WTP devices.
6 Information from the device is sent to the dcBrowser gateway, which
takes the compressed data format, converts it to HTTP, and sends it to
the web server. The web server may send other web pages to the device
based on information that it receives.

per server. The connections can be made by a combination of TCP/IP,
UDP Plus, and WTP devices, following these restrictions:
The dcBrowser gateway supports up to 250 TCP/IP devices.
The dcBrowser gateway supports up to 250 UDP Plus devices when
dcBrowser is installed on the Intermec Application Server.
dcBrowser Environments
Environment Description
Development Use the development environment to create the HTML application for
your data collection devices. Your application development tool must
support the HTML v3.2 syntax. You should test and debug your
application in the development environment before you use the test
environment. For help, see Chapter 2, “Developing and Testing Your
Application.
Te s t Use the test environment to simulate running the HTML application.
Copy your application and web pages to a web server, and then load a
web browser and the simulator on your PC. Using the web server, the
web browser, and the simulator, you can run your application. The
simulator contains a local dcBrowser gateway that runs on your PC,
and it simulates the dcBrowser gateway on the Intermec Application
Server or the software-only dcBrowser gateway. The simulator also
simulates the device screens so you can enter data and see how the
application responds. For help, see Chapter 2, “Developing and Testing
Your Application.
Runtime Use the runtime environment to run the HTML application in your
data collection network. If necessary, load the dcBrowser client on your
devices, and then copy your application and web pages to a web server.
You configure the dcBrowser gateway on the Intermec Application
Server. When you turn on your devices, they request a web page from
the web server. For help, see the users manual that ships with your
Intermec Application Server or the online help for the dcBrowser
gateway software.
Chapter 1 — Getting Started
Data Collection Browser User’s Guide 5
The dcBrowser gateway supports up to 127 WTP devices when
dcBrowser is installed on the Intermec Application Server.
About the Clients
Installing a License for Each Client
If you intend to use the dcBrowser gateway with more than one client
terminal or device, you need to purchase a license for each client. You will
receive these licenses on a disk. If you already have 10 licenses and you
order and install another 10, you will have a total of 20 licenses.
For help installing licenses, see the “Placing the Licenses in the Pak File
topic in the dcBrowser online help.

About the Development Environment
dcBrowser provides a runtime environment for data collection devices. For
more information about the development environment, see Chapter 1,
“Getting Started.
Supported HTML Features
dcBrowser supports a subset of HTML 3.2 syntax. dcBrowser also supports
the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 1.0 standard. Generally,
dcBrowser supports the tags that provide simple display and data entry
capabilities, such as text, password, and input types. It automatically filters
content that cannot be displayed or processed on the data collection
devices.
dcBrowser also supports hypertext links, such as anchor, by assigning them
to the function keys of the device. Since the 700 Series Mobile Computer
does not have function keys, use the stylus to select hypertext links. When
you write your application, be sure you understand the user interface and
screen capabilities of the devices.
Devices can only display one font with no attributes, such as <CITE>. You
may want to use some of the tags to indicate how the text is used, not how
it is displayed on the device. This release supports the heading hierarchy by
using extra spacing and indentation.
Note: Compile your CGI scripts for whatever environment your web server
uses. If you want to put your CGI scripts and your web pages on the DCS
30X, you must compile your CGI scripts for OS/2.
You can put your CGI executables into the D:\USERDATA\CGI-BIN
directory, and you can put your web pages into the
D:\USERDATA\HTDOCS directory on the DCS 30X. Once you have
moved your web pages, you must add /user to the URL of the web page.
For example, if you moved RFSIGN.HTM to the
D:\USERDATA\HTDOCS directory, the URL would be /user/rfsign.htm.
Also, if you wanted RFSIGN.HTM to use a CGI executable in the
D:\USERDATA\CGI-BIN directory, you would need to change the
following code:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=“/cgi-bin/cgi.exe”>
to
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=“/user-cgi/cgi.exe”>
You would need to make similar changes in CGI.C to allow for the correct
virtual directories.
