When first setting up the CN30 Computer, use the Setup Assistant to set or
enable basic network parameters and connect your CN30 Computer to the
network.
The Setup Assistant guides you through setting the following basic network
parameters: date and time (including time zone), SSID (Network name),
DHCP server or IP address, subnet mask, and default router, primary and
secondary DNS or WINS addresses, and device name.
To set other parameters, use another configuration method. The Setup
Assistant runs on the CN30 Computer when you turn on the computer.
After the Setup Assistant is complete, the CN30 Computer should commu-
nicate with the network. A network connection icon appears in the taskbar.
Use the Intermec Settings applet to configure the CN30 Computer and
view system information. You can access the Intermec Settings applet while
running any application.
From the CN30 desktop, select Start > Settings > the System tab > the
Intermec Settings icon.
For detailed information on most of the commands available in the Inter-
mec Settings applet, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual
(P/N 073529) via the Intermec web site. Go to "Before You Begin" for
access information.
It is important that the time on all of your CN30 Computers be synchro-
nized with a network time server to ensure real-time communications and
updates. Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
from an outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The
CN30 Computer uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchro-
nize with a network time server.
