We thought it might be helpful to our customers to reference it here also. (It’s amazing how many times we get this question. I wonder why?)

It would be nice if Motorola / Symbol did this for all their devices!

We sure don’t hear about comments like this being sent to Wavelink, or device manufacturers, about their emulation products – do you?

Here’s one of our latest from a leading developer, marketer, and distributor of branded apparel, footwear, and accessories. They use Stay-Linked to connect to SAP Console.

Thank you all for your help and support on the RF gun issue we were experiencing in our West coast facility. Not surprisingly, the main issue was internal to the wireless network — contention between access points. The Echo test that you recommended we use was invaluable. It allowed us to find the dead spots on the floor even though they did not drop when testing with a laptop running a wireless card. Testing with the actual RF guns made all the difference. By turning off some APs the coverage has improved and seems to be fine now.

I really appreciate the tools and support that you provided to help us narrow in on the problem and solve it, even though the issue was not directly related to StayLinked. You guys not only have a great product but have consistently provided outstanding advice and support. If (Company) can ever help you all in any way, say by providing a customer reference, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks again,

Comments like this aren’t unusual for us. You can see several of them here in our Blog. It’s great to have so many satisfied and happy customers.

Like a lot of companies, they tried to make the emulation work – it just wasn’t reliable. Where’s the value in that? So they switched to Stay-Linked.

“Thanks for being flexible and accommodating.  Stay-Linked continues to be a partner that I proudly say we do business with.  You have a solid product with top notch customer service.”

To which the head of Distribution Systems added…

“I agree 100%. You all have a great product and great service. If you ever need someone to act as a reference, feel free to reach out to us.”

It’s a shame they wasted so much time trying to get the free “emulation lite” to work.

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.”

In the AML7100 menu system, choose Local Settings > Barcode Options > Barcode Edit Options > Preamble / Postamble

Once these values are set, you should be able to see your barcode data in the Stay-Linked client Tools > Scan Test dialogue.

If your scanner has been configured, and your data appears in the Stay-Linked scan test, we would want to enable logging in the Stay-Linked server settings to further troubleshoot your issue.

I hope this is helpful.

“Thanks a ton for getting these guys up and running so quickly. Your solution is superior to Wavelink in so many ways, but the knowledge and effort you guys put in is the reason I try to convert all my clients!

Thanks again!

Andy”

Please see our website and see all the benefit of the Stay-Linked product. And don’t forget that our support is the best in the industry!

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.
