Chapter 5 — Setup in IPL
Signal Strength
An important tool when working out problems with wireless LANs
is a signal strength meter. Th e printer monitors the received signal
strength, and makes it available to the user. Th e read-only setup variable
"SIGNAL" assumes the value of the current received signal strength. Th e
value may vary from 0 (no signal) to 100 (maximum strength).
<STX><SI>wt,SIGNAL<ETX>
Transmits signal strength.
Speed
Depending on diff erent (radio) network parameters—such as distribu-
tion of access points, frequencies, number of clients, etc.—the network
card may select a lower speed than the maximum for better overall per-
formance. Th e selected speed (rounded down to whole Mbps) can be
read from the printer. Th e read-only setup-variable "SPEED" can assume
values from 0 up to 54 (Mbps).
<STX><SI>wt,SPEED<ETX>
Transmits network speed.
Region (a.k.a. Regulatory Domain)
Some countries and regulatory authorities only allow the use of a subset
of the 14 channels specifi ed in the 802.11b/g standard. To make the
product world confi gurable the setup variable ".REGION" is used.
Th e region can only be set by personnel authorized by Intermec. If the
wrong region/domain is set, please contact your Intermec representative
immediately. Continued use of the EasyLAN Wireless network interface
with an incorrect REGION setting may be in violation of applicable
laws.
Th e region setting will not be reset to default, even if a factory default
upgrade is performed.
