We’ve all been through the “centralize / de-centralize / centralize” cycles over the past several years. Today’s cycle is centralization, thanks in large part to the power available on host systems. Another factor is the reduced cost of managing those servers vs. the cost and problems of trying to manager multiple (sometimes hundreds) of dedicated servers.

So why are you still de-centralizing your RF environment – the hardest set of computers to manage? Well that’s exactly what you’re doing using telnet on the device – it’s another computer independently accessing your host while being mobile, subject to disconnects, and used in the most harsh environments. Yet it still needs to be managed. What’s that costing your company?

So even if you primary application is running on a central host, you are distributing the telnet computing to all of those mobile devices. How’s that working out for you?

Consolidate and re-centralize you RF computing using Stay-Linked.

Stay-Linked runs on your centralized telnet host, and the RF devices only remote-control the host screen back on that host. The telnet session never leaves the computer room.

That makes it much easier to manage every connection to the host – whether that’s RF devices in the warehouse, cellular devices anywhere in the world, or desktop PC connections. And the only communications between the Stay-Linked client in the field and the host in the computer room is encrypted, secure and reliable. You lose all those benefits using that decade-old telnet running on all those de-centralized systems. What’s that really costing your company???

Try Stay-Linked and see how much easier, more reliable, and less expensive support can be.

This scenario has happened hundreds of times:

After a while, though, problems start to pop up. The guns freeze up, so that workers have to wait while their IT guy gets a problem resolved. When a battery dies unexpectedly, a warehouse worker’s scanned data is lost…but nobody knows just when the data stopped getting through. Complicated proxy server software needs to be set and re-set; controllers need to be tweaked. Questions arise: is this a network problem, a device problem, or a software problem?

Eventually, the head of IT calls the sales rep who sold the equipment. The pain has become unbearable, the loss of productivity has become too great. What, Mr. Sales Rep, are you going to do to eliminate our pain? Now the sales rep feels pain, too—the pain of losing a customer.

Then someone remembers Stay-Linked. Stay-Linked terminal emulation software is quickly downloaded and installed—the 30-day trial is free, so it’s worth a shot. Suddenly, the pain goes away. Productivity is restored.

Don’t install terminal emulation software that’s going to cause pain. Don’t just check the box and get the default emulator—because sometimes free isn’t really free.

Stay-Linked works where others don’t. Move up to Stay-Linked.
