The Intermec Application Server translate UDP Plus packets on
the wireless network into TCP/IP packets on the wired network
and vice versa. The access point acts as a bridge to allow
communications between the wired network and the wireless
network.

network:
• Network name (SSID)
• Controller IP address
• IP settings (if not using DHCP)
• Network port
2 Configure the security. For help, see "Configuring Security"
in the next section.
The easiest way to configure the network parameters on the
