Access Point Functions
As an access point connected to a wired network, the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway forms a
communication link between Psion Teklogix RF mobile computers or wireless access point
clients and a Psion Teklogix Network Controller or a host computer. It communicates over
an IEEE 802.11 RF data link with mobile computers, and over a cable with the network con-
troller or a host computer. The 9160 G2 can be connected to the network through an
Ethernet connection.
1.4.3
Base Station Functions
As a base station or Remote Radio Module (RRM), the 9160 G2 provides a link between the
local area network and wireless mobile computers using proprietary Psion Teklogix radio
protocols. On the local area network the 9160 G2 base station (or RRM) communicates with
a 9500 Communications Server (or host using a Psion Teklogix Software Development Kit)
using the proprietary 9010 protocol over TCP/IP.
For information on configuring the 9160 G2 as a base station or RRM, see Chapter 22: "The
9160 G2 As Base Station".
1.4.4
Mini-Controller Functions
The 9160 G2 is equipped with some emulation capabilities, allowing it to act as a mini-con-
troller. When a 9160 G2 is configured as a mini-controller, Psion Teklogix mobile
computers can emulate an ANSI, 5250 or 3274 mobile computer through the 9160 G2 rather
than through a 9500 Communications Server.
To configure the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway as a mini-controller, see Chapter 23: "Mini-
Controller Configuration".
