remain out of communications range too long or if the host sends "Keep
Alive" messages while the terminal is in Suspend mode. You may need to
restart the application and log back into the host to re-establish a terminal
emulation session. In a UDP Plus or WTP network, the session is
maintained any time the terminal is out of range or in Suspend mode.
To communicate through the network, all RF terminals and access points
must contain the same type of radio, either a WLI Forum OpenAir or an
IEEE 802.11b radio. Depending on the radio in the terminal, you must
set certain parameters to the same configuration on both the terminal and
the access points.

OpenAir Radio

To use OpenAir radios in your network, you need to configure:
• Domain. On the access points, the Domain parameter is called the LAN
ID (Domain) parameter.
• Security Identification (ID). The Network Activate command must be
configured to 2.4 GHz RF network before you can save any changes to
the security ID parameter.
These parameters must be set to the same values on the terminals and the
access points. Each access point is configured with a different
channel/subchannel combination.

802.11b Radio

To use 802.11b radios in your network, you need to configure:
• Network Name. On the access points, the Network Name parameter is
called the SSID (Network Name) parameter. This parameter is case-
sensitive.
On the terminal, you can also set the Network Name parameter to
"ANY" or leave the field blank, allowing the terminal to communicate
with any access point that has the same radio and is within range.
However, Intermec recommends that you define a unique network
name.
• WEP Encryption. If you are using 802.1x TTLS or LEAP security, you
do not configure WEP Encryption.
• (802.1x TTLS or LEAP security only) User Name and Password. For
more information about configuring the terminal for 802.1x security,
see "Configuring the 802.1x Security Parameters" on page 58.
The Network Name and WEP Encryption parameters must be set to the
same value on the terminals and the access points.
