Chapter 22: The 9160 G2 As Base Station
Base Station Configuration Settings
uses the Adaptive Polling/Contention RF protocol (see 'Radio Protocols' on page 222 for
details on the protocols).
The 9160 G2 controls the radio link's operation and timing. Each base station uses a differ-
ent radio channel, and mobile computers use cellular switching to roam between stations.
The options and parameters on the following pages allow you to configure the 9160 G2 as a
master base station connected to up to 32 slave 9160 G2 base stations over an Ethernet net-
work. The master 9160 G2 is connected to a 9500 Communications Server, or up to six
hosts running the Psion Teklogix Software Development Kit. The Base Station option under
Connectivity, will enable you to add a new slave base station to the system or change the pa-
rameters on an existing slave base station.
Pressing the Update button will save your settings; pressing the Default button will re-load
the default configuration values for that base station.
