Step-by-step guide for installing SAPConsole to run SAP's

Radio Frequency solution on character-based devices
Prerequisites and General Settings
1. To run SAPConsole Windows NT has to be installed on the computer.
2. That computer has to be connected to the network.
3. To run a connection to the character-based RF devices the computer will serve as a

Telnet server. Therefore a Telnet software has to be installed on the computer. Please
refer to chapter 'Telnet Server/Client Installation' for detailed installation steps.
4. Configure a profile on the RF devices, where you define the host IP-address of the
Telnet/SAPConsole server and the type of emulation the RF device should use (e.g. VT-
220).
Installation of SAPConsole from the installation CD

SAPConsole is part of the front end R/3 installation CD for releases 4.6B and 4.6C.
You can install the SAPConsole on the specific NT server that will be responsible for the
communication with the RF-Devices. You can install only the SAPConsole or the
SAPConsole together with the SAPGUI to allow easier definition of services using the
SAPLogon. Please perform the following steps:
 Press “Setup”, the system starts the installation and the main screen is opened.
 Choose “Local installation”, then press “Next”.
 The system now recommends a default folder for the installation. To accept it press
“Next”.
 Choose the component “Application” and press the “Change option” within the
Application menu, mark the “SAPConsole” component only. Press “ok.”
 If you want to install also the SAPGUI mark it now.
 Press “Next”, the system starts the installation.
 When the system finishes the installation, press “Finish.” The

installation is completed.
 Locate the file “sapcnsl.exe” under: C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\sapconsole\
 Locate files “termcfg.dll”, “vtstream.dll” and “vt220” under:

C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\sapconsole\sapvtio
 Locate files “sapcadll.dll”, “sapcnsl.dll”, “sapcprx.dll” and “Guilib.dll”

under C:\Program Files\Common Files\SAP Shared\System\it

Telnet Server/client Installation
1. Install the Telnet server on the same server were you installed the SAPConsole.
2. Configure the Telnet server profile that you intend to use. Edit the profile and enter:
 The default shell, usually the CMD.EXE file located under c:\winnt\system32\.
 Startup directory for the SAP Console executable file, usually the file sapcnsl.exe is
located under c:\program files\sappc\sapgui\sapconsole\
 The command line: sapcnsl.exe.
 Do not use the ANSII Color option in the Telnet server.
 Do not check for GUI Apps.
3. Install the Telnet client on a different machine.
4. Configure the Telnet client profile:
 Inform the client about the Telnet server IP-address.
 Use the VT-220 emulation
 Configure the function keys codes on the RF-Devices. You can use the file
VT220.TXT to see what is the decimal code expected by the
emulation when a special key is pressed for example: the virtual key
code for “F1” is 112 (70 in Hex).
SAPConsole Remotely Activate Check

1. Logon to the SAPConsole server using the Telnet remote connection.
2. Check that the SAPConsole is activated remotely and is switching you to the R/3 logon
screen. Logon to the system.
