This is a great reason for our resellers to sell Psion devices. It simplifies the roll out process for your customers.

Excerpt:

“Psion Teklogix is a recognized leader in the rugged mobile computer industry, and we are very pleased that they are now an active member of our growing Stay-Linked Ready program for device manufacturers,” said David Griffith, President of Stay-Linked. “Companies who purchase Stay-Linked licenses with Psion Teklogix devices are now able to take immediate advantage of Stay-Linked’s unique productivity-enhancing capabilities right out of the box.”

“Psion Teklogix ensures our customers receive maximum value from our solutions, ultimately maximizing our customers’ Return on Mobility,” said Dave Peddemors Vice President North America Sales at Psion Teklogix. “Our partnership with Stay-Linked Corporation will provide our customers unique access to their terminal emulation applications both inside and outside the four walls.”

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.

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.

Then, you need to restart the host session (if the host hasn’t locked you out), sign back in, navigate through menus back to the screen you were on, enter the applicable order / customer / quote number if you remember, and hope you didn’t lose anything when the session ended. (Sound familiar?)

SOLUTION: Run Stay-Linked on your RF and cellular devices and you’ll never lose your host session again.

You may still have occasional network or cellular interruptions – that’s the nature of RF and cellular service. But your server session will still be there when you get back. No need for those other steps you do today. Simple!

Try THAT using any other emulator – even with their proxy server or controller “patches.” They just aren’t capable of doing what Stay-Linked does by design – protect your host session NO MATTER WHAT!

Check out why Stay-Linked just works better. Eliminate the frustration and improve the inefficiencies.

If you use a Windows server as your telnet host, Stay-Linked will give you an unlimited, enterprise version of the Pragma Telnet or Pragma SSH server with the purchase of 20 Stay-Linked licenses. (Of course limitations apply! One free server per customer. That’s all.) That’s a $1,400.00 value – FREE!

ATTENTION SAP CONSOLE USERS:
The Pragma Server can run virtually unlimited users simultaneously. Unlike the softworks servers that can only handle about 20 users, Pragma Servers don’t even breathe hard with hundreds of user connections at once. Think of all the hardware you could repurpose if you didn’t need them to support all that old-school telnet/SSH technology!

Just contact your equipment or software reseller for an evaluation. Or you can go to the Stay-Linked evaluation request page directly.

Once you try Stay-Linked – especially with the Pragma’s Servers – you’ll never want to use those old free emulators, servers or “controllers” again. Over 95% of people who try Stay-Linked buy Stay-Linked. And the bundled Pragma server just make the solution better.

• We identify when packets are dropped by the network
• We can see what the server and client sent
• We see what was received
• We can perform “Trace Routes” from the client
• We can do echo tests to show the user what happens with each keypress
• And many more…..

If your network reliability – either wired or wireless – isn’t quite reaching the mythical “99.9999%” reliability, we can help identify the most likely network component that’s causing the problem. BUT, with Stay-Linked, many of our customers stop trying to correct that last illusive network bug. With Stay-Linked it may not matter because your sessions NEVER drop.

Stay-Linked’s UDP protocol makes it all possible. With TCP, if there’s a network issue, you’re going to feel it at the other end of the RF network. Whit Stay-Linked it may not matter anymore!

Visit the Stay-Linked website to download a free trial. If you have network issues, give us a call and let us help solve them!

And remember, Stay-Linked now come pre-loaded at the factory on several devices. See a list of the Stay-Linked Ready manufacturers on our website.

The Stay-Linked host-based server process runs as a subsystem on the iSeries using JAVA. And anyone in the iSeries world can tell you that the IBM mid-range systems run JAVA better than any other system in the world!

Try Stay-Linked for emulation to your iSeries on you desktop computers, RF devices, and on WLAN / Cellular portable devices.

No more “varying devices off / on” with Stay-Linked because we make sure the session never ends! (Unless you want it to using our new timeout option in v9.1 of Stay-Linked. Inactive sessions can be terminated gracefully on your iSeries.)

Go to the Stay-Linked website to download and try Stay-Linked for 30 days.

Stay-Linked – the Technology Leader in RF Telnet and SSH.

Unlike all other emulation programs available (Wavelinke, RFTerm, Tekterm, Naurtech, etc.), Stay-Linked uses UDP – not TCP – for safe, reliable and managed connections to the host system. Others have tried to “Band Aid” the connection using proxy servers and other elaborate connection schemes to provide what Stay-Linked accomplishes by design – secure and reliable connections to the Telnet/SSH server that runs on the host. Never lose/drop another telnet session again! And it works just as well on cellular and WAN connections as on WLAN.

Try Stay-Linked. Over 95% of the time, when a company tries Stay-Linked they buy Stay-Linked to replace their 1980s era emulation. Just go to Stay-Linked website to request a 30-day evaluation of the full Stay-Linked solution. Or, contact you RF equipment reseller.
