Parts of the System
Provided by Worth Data and specific to the 7802 WiFi RF Terminal:
1. Terminal(s)
Terminal(s) refers to one or more Worth Data WiFi RF7802 Terminals.
2. Connection Host
Connection Host” is software that provides a link or “relay” between your Terminal(s) and the
Application Server. The Connection Host comes in two versions, one is for installation on an internet
website hosting service, and one that is a Windows program that can be run on a computer in your local
network (no internet required).
Keep in mind that it is possible to not need a Connection Host for a fully working system. You can install
you own custom “Cloud Server” (see the diagrams above). See the source code for the Worth Data Cloud
demo for more information.
3. Application Server
The Application Server” or “Server Program” is a program designed and written by the user that
incorporates the WD7802Term ActiveX control. When an 7802 RF Terminal is turned on and sends a
“sign in” message to the Connection Host, this message is relayed to an Application Server that is
configured with the same Server ID, Username, and Password as the Terminal (see Terminal Setup) .
When a Terminal SignsOn, the WD7802Term control reports a terminal ID number to the host
application (the Application Server) that is unique to that terminal.
There can be multiple Application Servers associated with a single Connection Host, each configured
with unique Server ID/Username/Password to match the Terminal(s) intended to communicate with that
particular Application Server.
An Application Server can also be “Cloud” Server that does not require a Connection Host; Terminals
communicate directly with the Cloud Server. You can program your custom Cloud Server to use the
Terminal's “Server ID/Username/Password” settings for anything you want. A Cloud Server is a pure
Web-based application and does NOT use the WD7802Term ActiveX control. For more information,
review the provided demo source code.

1. Fixed or mobile (“MiFi”) Access Point (AP, required)
An “access point” is a device that you attach to your LAN that allows wireless network devices (like your
laptop computer) to attach to your LAN as if you were plugging it in via an ethernet cable.
A “wireless router” is an access point that includes some sort of router (like a DSL or cable modem) in the
same box. A wireless router usually has 5 or more connector sockets while a simple access point usually
