Understanding Network Protocol Options

Setting Up the Terminal and the Network

2
TE 2000 applications for the Enterprise Wireless LANt system use one
of the following network protocol options:
S UDP Plus
The terminal communicates with the host computer through the
R
Intermec Application Server and an access point.
S TCP/IP
The terminal communicates through an Intermec access point, which is
directly connected to the host computer on an Ethernet or a token ring
network.
S WTP
The terminal communicates with the host computer through the Inter-
mec Application Server, Intermec access point, or other Intermec gate-
ways.
For network configuration options, refer to your terminal's user manual.
Before you can start using the TE 2000 application on your terminal, you
need to do the following:
1 Set up your terminal.
Set-up includes charging and installing the battery pack and turning on
the terminal for the first time. For instructions, refer to your terminal's
user manual.
Note: Battery packs do not apply to all terminals. Vehicle mount and
stationary terminals are powered via an external source.
2 Configure your terminal and the network.
To use RF communications on the terminal, you need to:
a Configure the Intermec Application Server (UDP Plus or WTP),
other Intermec gateways (WTP), or host (TCP/IP).
b Configure the access point. This does not apply to the 2480/2481 Ter-
minal, which contains an Ethernet NIC instead of a radio.
c Configure the network parameters on the terminal.
For instructions, refer to your terminal's user manual.
3 Verify that your terminal is communicating correctly with the access
point, Intermec Application Server, or host.
To verify that your terminal is communicating correctly, refer to the
terminal's user manual for instructions.
