Mode Tab - Symbol PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Manual

Mode Tab

The Mode tab in NICTT configures the adapter's ESSID and operating mode.
• Use the Operating Mode drop-down menu to select one of the following operating
modes for the terminal:
• If you select Infrastructure, enter a 32-character maximum ESSID (802.11
Extended Service Set Identifier) in the 802.11 ESSID field to identify the
wireless local area network. This ESSID must match the access point ESSID
for the adapter to communicate with the access point.
• If you select Enhanced Ad Hoc, enter the channel number in the Channel field.
The first adapter configured in the Ad Hoc network defines the channel number
used in the Ad Hoc network. Each adapter is required to use the same channel
to transmit and receive data to its peers.
Check the Send long preamble headers checkbox if the other devices in
your network are using a long preamble. Devices using Ad Hoc mode must use
the same preamble setting to interoperate. The adapter uses a long preamble
heading by default.
Note that this is a Symbol Technologies operating mode and only works with
other Symbol adapters enabled in the same mode.
• If you select Ad Hoc, enter a 32-character maximum ESSID (802.11 Extended
Service Set Identifier) in the 802.11 ESSID field to identify the wireless local
area network. This ESSID must match the ESSID of other devices using the Ad
Hoc mode.
