    This feature allows you to operate the Scanner 3100 as a stand-alone network and directly connect a wired laptop with ease, requiring only an ethernet cable and no additional networking equipment. The Wi-Fi connection on the Scanner 3100 is independent and separate from the Ethernet connection; using one does not limit or preclude the use of the other. For example, you can connect the Scanner 3100 to your wired infrastructure while configuring the Scanner 3100 to additionally provide a wireless access point for user Wi-Fi enabled devices.

  • Page 6: Scanner 3100 Network Configurations

    A wireless access point is a device that creates a wireless local area network for other devices to connect to. As a wireless access point, the Scanner 3100 hosts a public network (as shown in Figure 1) with the Scanner 3100 as the default SSID. If you have more than one wireless access point (i.e. two Scanner 3100’s hosting separate wire- less access points), each public network must have a unique SSID.

  • Page 10: Section 2 - Connecting To The Scanner 3100 For The First Time

    TIME When first connecting to the Scanner 3100 and a wireless connection has not been configured yet, you will have to connect through the Ethernet port to configure the wireless network or to further configure the Ether- net network. Once connected, you can then proceed to configure either a Wireless Access Point or a Wire- less Client, or a wired network as a DHCP client or DHCP server. There are two ways in which the Scanner 3100 can be connected to the Ethernet for the first time: connect- ing to an existing managed network, or connecting directly to the Scanner 3100 without a managed network - “Stand alone Ethernet Access”. Depending on the network you are connecting to, the Scanner 3100 may have to operate as a DHCP Client (existing managed network) or as a DHCP Server (Stand-Alone Ethernet Access). The Scanner 3100 net- work interface can be changed from the Scanner 3100 keypad. Figure 8 shows the effects of entering and exiting the Stand Alone mode. The instructions below will tell you how and when to activate these modes.
