    The Ethernet terminal communicates with a host directly through the Ethernet network. The RF terminal also communicates with a host either through the Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X, or directly through the access points. The access point acts as a bridge between the Ethernet or wired network and the RF network.

  • Page 37: Configuring The Terminal Through The Network

    Configuring the Terminal Through the Network You can remotely configure the RF or Ethernet terminal by using one of these methods: • Send a command from the DCS 300 (UDP Plus network only). • Send a command from an application on the host computer (UDP Plus and TCP/IP networks).

  • Page 38: Sending A Command From The Dcs 300

    Chapter 2—Configuring and Managing the Terminals Sending a Command From the DCS 300 You can use the DCS 300 to configure one or more terminals in your RF or Ethernet network. The DCS 300 lets you group together terminals that you want to receive the same reader and configuration commands.
