Understanding Network Protocol Options

Setting Up the Terminal and the Network

2
Native Terminal Emulation applications for the Enterprise Wireless
LANt system use one of the following network protocol options:
S TCP/IP
The terminal communicates through an Intermec
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 Native Terminal Emulation 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 (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, gateway, or host.
To verify that your terminal is communicating correctly, refer to the
terminal's user manual for instructions.
