Configuring the 5020 to Operate in a Network
The 5020 Data Collection PC is a versatile hand-held device that you can easily add to
your network. You can use the 5020 as an end device in your wired or 2.4 GHz RF
network.
There are several ways to connect the 5020 to your network:
•
•
•
To configure your 5020 for an RF or Ethernet network, start with the instructions in the
next section. To configure and use your IrDA port, see "Configuring for Serial or IrDA
Communications" later in this chapter.
Configuring for an RF or Ethernet Network
The 5020 communicates over an RF or Ethernet network using either of these network
protocol options:
•
•
The 5020 ships with TCP/IP protocol enabled. In a TCP/IP network, the 5020
communicates directly through the access points or through the Ethernet network to the
host or server.
UDP Plus is an Intermec protocol built on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It
maximizes the performance of wireless (RF) networks and provides robust data
communications. In a UDP Plus network, the 5020 communicates through the DCS 300
to the host or server. If you have a DCS 300 network, you must enable UDP Plus on the
5020 PC.
On an RF 5020, use the radio to communicate with other RF devices in your
network.
On a batch 5020, use an Ethernet PC card (purchased separately) to communicate
with other devices in your network.
Use the IrDA port or a serial PC card (purchased separately) to transfer data
between the 5020 and a host computer.
