Windows Mobile Client for RFSDK 6.0?

[mattbert]

Hello:

We have a customer using a custom application developed a number of years ago using RF SDK 6.0, and their scanners have begun to die.

I am wondering if there is an example of code out there that would act as either a client that I could run from a Windows Terminal Server session OR directly on a newer generation of Windows Mobile scanners that would connect to the computer running the RF SDK server component.

The customer had also purchased a license for RF SDK 7.0, but, wound up having connectivity problems with it so we had built the application at the time in RF SDK 6.0.

The heart of the matter is they have a need to replace the dying scanners in the near-term, and, it is no longer feasible to be purchasing 13 year old scanners.   I would rather not have to write a custom interface for these newer scanners if I didn't have to.

Thanks in advance for peoples' assistance.

Matt,

i would recommend switching to the latest RF SDK and then you would not have to change any of the code in your application.  The latest RF SDK has support for telnet connections.  This is what we use for supporting all of the current scanners that are running either Pocket PC, Windows Mobile and CE.NET.  The one issue you will run into is that you can not have the old scanners which i am assuming are DOS based and the new Windows Mobile type scanners connected to the same RF Server application.  The old DOS based scanners use port 3000 to  connect and telnet uses port 23.
