The Intermec Gateway in a Telnet Environment
The Intermec Gateway lets UDP Plus or WTP data collection
devices that are running Telnet terminal emulation (TE) clients
(VTXXX/ANSI, TN5250, or TN3270) send information to and
receive data from the Ethernet network. The Intermec Gateway
comes loaded on the Intermec Application Server.
Note: The Intermec Gateway does not support Intermec 900
MHz clients, 900 MHz SST clients, 400 MHz S-UHF clients,
and CrossBar™ clients.

Telnet Environment: This diagram shows the Intermec Gateway in a Telnet

Chapter 1 — Using the Intermec Gateway in a Telnet Environment
Intermec Gateway User’s Guide 3
The Intermec Gateway supports most Intermec Telnet clients,
Norand terminal emulation clients (in Telnet mode), and the
TE 2000™ terminal emulation application clients (in Telnet
mode). These devices can connect to IP hosts that support
Telnet applications and are connected to the Ethernet network.
The Intermec Gateway supports dual session TE 2000 on
Trakker Antares terminals over UDP Plus.
Determining the Maximum Number of Sessions Supported
The Intermec Gateway supports up to 300 simultaneous
connections, which may be a combination of UDP Plus and
WTP devices connecting to any number of Telnet hosts. You
can configure more than 300 devices, but only the first 300
sessions attempting to connect will be allowed to connect.
These restrictions apply:
• The Intermec Gateway supports up to 300 simultaneous
UDP Plus connections. If a Trakker Antares terminal is
configured to run two separate TE 2000 sessions over the
UDP Plus network, it uses two of the possible 300
connections and requires two licenses.
• The Intermec Gateway supports up to 127 simultaneous
WTP connections. If a WTP device is configured to support
two sessions (for example, connecting to two hosts), it uses
two of the 127 possible connections and requires two licenses.
Defining the Telnet Host
Defining the Telnet host for your Intermec Gateway consists of
these steps:
1 Install the Intermec Gateway licenses.
2 Open the Intermec Gateway home page.
3 Define an IP host and Telnet port.
These steps are described in detail in the following sections.
Chapter 1 — Using the Intermec Gateway in a Telnet Environment
4 Intermec Gateway User’s Guide
Installing the Intermec Gateway Licenses
Before you can use your Intermec Gateway in a Telnet
environment, you need to purchase and install an Intermec
Gateway license for each session that will connect through the
Intermec Gateway. For example:
• If a Trakker Antares terminal is configured to run two
separate TE 2000 sessions over the UDP Plus network, the
terminal will require two licenses.
• If a WTP device is configured to support two sessions (for
example, connecting to two hosts), that WTP device will
require two licenses.
For help installing the licenses, see the Intermec Gateway License
Instructions (P/N 072960) that shipped with the Intermec
Gateway license disk.
Note: Before you install the licenses, Intermec allows one session
to connect to the Intermec Gateway for development purposes
only.
Opening the Intermec Gateway Home Page
Before you can open the Intermec Gateway home page, you
need to install the Intermec Application Server and assign the IP
address. For help, see the Intermec Application Server User’s
Guide (P/N 072242).
Note: If you access the Internet by using a proxy server, you
MUST add the IP address of the Intermec Application Server to
your Exceptions list. The Exceptions list contains the addresses
that you do not want to use with a proxy server.
To open the Intermec Gateway home page
1 Start Internet Explorer on your PC.
2 In the Address field, type:
http://serverip
where serverip is the IP address for the Intermec Application
Server.

to the Ethernet network. For help, see the Intermec Application
Server User’s Guide. This section provides an overview for
configuring the IP host and Telnet port. For detailed
instructions, see the online help.
