- GUI
Screen Builder -
Menu screens are created automatically based on user-defined
menu entries. Each menu is then associated with a user-defined
screen. AirLinc provides an intuitive drag and drop screen
design utility for creating custom RF terminal data collection
screens. Screens can be sized for any terminal and may contain
Text Messages, Prompts and Scrolling List Boxes. Prompts may be
easily configured to restrict data entry by length, entry method
(keyboard, scanner or both) and character type (alpha, numeric
or both) by selecting the appropriate radio buttons.

- Belt
Printer and Network Printing Support - Projects
may be created to utilize a mix of belt printers and network printers
for any given application. Production workers can even choose
the most convenient printer from a list of network printers presented
on the RF terminal screen while working "out on the floor."
|
- Serial
Device Control - Scales,
Serial Scanners and even VT100 serial interface screens can be
utilized in an AirLinc project for "non-RF" data collection.
Serial devices can be controlled locally from the AirLinc
server, or remotely over an Ethernet network utilizing an Ethernet
to Serial converter available from Connect.

- DOS,
Palm O/S and Windows CE Terminal Support - All
PowerNet products, including AirLinc, support a wide range
of the most popular DOS, Palm O/S and Windows CE RF Terminals
by using Connect's popular Twin Client terminal software. The
Twin Client software works with the AirLinc server software to
display data collection screens without requiring any custom program
downloading. PowerNet's open architecture also means concurrent
support for all major 2.4 GHz and select 900 MHz RF backbones.

- Developed
For a Client / Server Environment - AirLinc
provides a Client/Server installation environment for remote application
development. AirLinc projects are executed on the AirLinc server
but may be developed from any AirLinc workstation. The AirLinc
server, which includes Powernet OpenAir Windows SoftNCU, is designed
for installation on a Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 operating
system. Remote AirLinc workstations may be installed on those
operating systems as well as on Windows 95/98/ME. This environment
utilizes complete NTFS security and permits project development
collaboration across the network.

- No
VB, C or C++ Programming - The
common DataLinc script language is fully SQL compliant and provides
"back-end" ODBC connectivity to compliant databases
completing the bridge between the collected data and your Accounting,
Manufacturing, ERP and MRP systems. Other features of the script
language include full printer support, terminal scroll screens
(List Boxes), SQL transactional control commands (Commit, Rollback),
SQL Stored Procedure calls and COM connections. Best of all, AirLinc
requires no VB, C or C++ programming.
|
- Data
Browser - AirLinc's
Data Browser Utility provides the ability to view existing 32
bit ODBC data sources that may be referenced within an AirLinc
script. Additionally, the Data Browser Utility provides the ability
to copy your working database and create a test database with
the same structure and/or records as the original. This feature
means that you can develop AirLinc projects off-site with a copy
of your client's database. Also, by working with a copy of the
customer's database, unintended changes to your working database
can be avoided while developing your AirLinc project.
|
- Auto-Documenting
- The
Auto-Documenting feature provides a hard copy that can be used
as a specification or source document for your client's project.
The Auto-Documenting Utility provides the ability to choose the
components that appear on the report. Project Description, Menu
Maps, Terminal Screen Size, Data Sources and even AirLinc Project
Scripts can be included.
|
- AirLinc
Simulator - The
AirLinc simulator provides the ability to view the developed AirLinc
project exactly as it would be presented on an RF Terminal Screen.
Its primary use is for testing an AirLinc project to gain feedback
on the progress of development, however, the simulator is also
an effective tool when demonstrating to clients or training RF
Terminal users. The AirLinc simulator can even be executed from
networked PC's for wired fixed station data collection.
|
- Export/Import
AirLinc Projects - AirLinc
projects may be exported then imported from one AirLinc server
to another. This feature enables project development for multiple
independent sites during a company wide rollout.
