Caution: Make sure all components with antennas are at least 30 cm (1
ft) apart when power is applied. Failure to comply could result in
equipment damage.
The wireless 700 Color Computer has an internal 802.11b or 802.11b/g
radio to transfer data using wireless communications. This manual assumes
you already have set up your wireless communications network, including
your access points. If you are using a UDP Plus network, have your
Intermec Application Server communicate with a host computer. Your
700 Color Computer supports TCP/IP and UDP Plus.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a TCP/IP Network

In a TCP/IP network, the 700 Color Computer communicates with a host
computer directly using TCP/IP. The access point acts as a bridge to allow
communications between the wired and wireless networks.
1 Configure the infrastructure mode, network name (SSID), host IP ad-
dress, and IP settings (if not using DHCP) on each 700 Color Comput-
er in the network.
2 Configure security. Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Wire-
less Network icon to access the Profile Wizard for the 802.11b or
802.11b/g radio module. Go to Appendix A, "Configurable Settings,"
for information.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a UDP Plus Network

In a UDP Plus network, the 700 Color Computer communicates with a
host computer through the Intermec Application Server. The Intermec
Application Server translates 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 and
wireless networks.
1 Configure the network name (SSID), controller IP address, and IP set-
tings (if not using DHCP), and controller port (set to 5555) on each
700 Color Computer in the network.
2 Configure security. Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Wire-
less Network icon to access the Profile Wizard for the 802.11b or
802.11b/g radio module. Go to Appendix A, "Configurable Settings,"
for information.
The easiest way to configure the network parameters on the 700 Color
Computer is to use the Intermec Settings applet. Go to Appendix A,
"Configurable Settings." for information.
The 700 Color Computer can have up to three radios installed. The de-
fault network adapter or radio is dependent on what radios are installed in
your unit. The 700 Color Computer is capable of supporting 802.11i se-
curity requirements.
