JANUS? 2020 Hand-Held Computer (4MB) - Intermec

JANUS 2020 Hand-Held Computer User’s Manual (4MB) NF BC
6-26
Client The client is the computer from which you will access drives,
directories, files, and programs that are stored on the server. You will type
commands on the client’s keyboard or keypad to access those drives.
Server The server is the computer that contains the drives, directories, files,
and programs you want to access. The server’s drives and printers look as if
they are on the client. Intersvr displays the status of the connection between
Interlnk and Intersvr on the server’s screen.
Sometimes your reader will be the client, and sometimes it will be the server,
depending upon the task you are trying to accomplish.
Intermec suggests that you always make the host computer the client because
Interlnk requires more conventional memory than Intersvr and your host
computer probably has more conventional memory available than your JANUS
reader.
Your reader should be the client when
• you want the drives on the host computer to show up on the reader as if
they were physically part of the reader.
• there is an application on the host computer that you want to run on the
reader.
Your reader should be the server when
• you want the drives on the reader to show up on the host computer as if
they were physically part of the host computer.
• there is an application on the reader that you want to run on the host
computer.
Note: The client cannot access a server’s drive that was redirected before Interlnk was
started, such as a network drive.
