Introduction

Wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send captured
data to a host device in real time. The MC909X mobile computer supports the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b and
802.11g standards. Before using the mobile computer on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required
hardware to run the wireless LAN and the mobile computer must be configured. Refer to the documentation
provided with the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
To configure the mobile computer, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the
