TECHNICAL ACQUAINT # 124a
Psion Teklogix supplies the coaxial cable required to connect the 9160 to the antenna. When determining
the location of the antenna, the coverage requirements of the antenna are considered in conjunction with
the environmental requirements of the 9160. The coaxial cable must be routed and secured using wire
anchors and/or coaxial nail clips. A few extra inches of cable are required near the antenna and the 9160 to
make disconnection easier.
Connecting To External Devices
This section contains general guidelines for connecting the 9160 to external devices such as network
controllers, base stations, host computers, PCs, and video display terminals.
Ports
Figure 3 shows the locations of the port and power connectors on the base of the 9160. The port pinouts
are described in "Appendix B: Port Pinouts and Cable Diagrams" in the 9160 Wireless Gateway User
Manual.

LAN Installation: Overview
Because the 9160 provides Ethernet connectivity, it can be added to an existing LAN. Generally, LAN
installations are handled with the help of the network administrators, as they are familiar with their
network and its configuration.
Once the 9160 is installed, connected and powered on, the system administrator can access the unit to
check the configuration and to assign the 9160 its unique IP address. This may be done through the
network (see " Changing The Configuration With A Web Browser" on page 7). Subsequent changes in
the network, such as the addition of stations or users, would also require that the 9160 configuration be
changed.
