Setting Up 802.11 Radio Communications

PB21 and PB31 Mobile Receipt Printer User Guide
The printer can have an internal 802.11 b/g radio to transfer and
receive data using wireless communications. This manual assumes
that you have already set up your wireless communications network
including your access points. These procedures include information
on setting up wireless security for both IPL and Fingerprint versions
of the printer.
The printer supports these authentication modes: none, WEP, WPA
Personal and Enterprise mode (802.1x authentication), WPA2
Personal and Enterprise mode (802.1x authentication).
Note: WPA and WPA2 Enterprise modes currently support PEAP,
TTLS, and LEAP. For LEAP authentication, the printer supports
Open EAP, but does not support Network EAP.
To set up the printer to work in your wireless network, you need:
• serial cable (P/N 075497-xxx).
• a host PC running Windows or Linux.
• a communications application, such as HyperTerminal.
Note: If you are using IPL commands with HyperTerminal, you may
want to be able to see the commands as you type them on your
screen. For help, see
