Host Connectivity 

Hand Held Products offers several host connectivity options for Dolphin 7200 RF 

wireless LAN solutions. Direct Connect TN Client software is a thick-client solution 

that connects Dolphin 7200 RF

™

 computers directly to host applications via TN3270, 

TN5250 or TNVT terminal emulation using industry-standard TCP/IP protocol. 

Another option is a three-tier client server solution, or thin-client implementation, for 

3270, 5250 and VT100/220 terminal emulation that uses a Universal Gateway. The 

Gateway establishes communication to a host such as an AS400 and maintains 

communication to both the Dolphin 7200 RF terminal and the host. 

Thick-Client Terminal Emulation 

PowerNet TN Client (telnet client) software allows the Dolphin 7200 RF terminal to 

communicate directly with applications running on AS/400, ES/9000, HP/6000 or 

other hosts connected to an Ethernet backbone and that support TCP/IP. The 

TNVT, TN3270, and TN5250 emulations use TCP/IP to communicate from the 

Dolphin 7200 RF™ terminal through the access point to the host. There is no 

network controller or server.
