Connecting the Terminal to a Wireless Network

You connect the terminal to a wireless network through the on-board radio (802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth).
Each radio has its own configuration program and requires specific information about the wireless
network to connect. Successful connection depends on your network infrastructure about which you will
need specific information from your network administrator.

WLAN (802.11b/g Radio)

6100s can have a 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that uses Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The radio is interoperable with other 802.11b/g, Wi-Fi-
compliant products including access points (APs), workstations via PC card adapters, and other wireless
portable devices.
By default, the 802.11b/g radio is enabled after each hard reset, which means that the radio begins
transmitting a signal as soon as the terminal finishes booting up. The next step is to configure the
connection parameters of the radio to connect to a wireless network.
Configuring the WLAN Radio
The WLAN radio is configured in the Honeywell WLAN Security Supplicant which you access by double
tapping the program icon in the command bar.
