Page 122 Chapter 3 Communications Operations of the BHT-200Q/200QW Describes the communications operations of the BHT—the spread spectrum communication (BHT-200QW only), infrared communication, USB interface specifications, basic communications specifications, communication using Ymodem, and ActiveSync--for data transfer with the host PC or other devices.
Page 123: Spread Spectrum Communication
3.1 Spread Spectrum Communication 3.1.1 Notes for Wireless Operations The BHT-200QW supports spread spectrum communication. • If there are too many communications errors, first make sure that the BHT-200QW points directly at an access point because the 2.4-GHz band requires a more or less straight line path. Note also that the low-power radio waves have trouble passing through human bodies and other obstacles along that path.
Page 124: Rf-Related Parameters
Chapter 3 Communications Operations of BHT-200Q/200QW 3.1.2 RF-Related Parameters User programs command-control wireless communication between the BHT terminals and access points which are connected each other by a wireless LAN. For the setting procedure of RF-related parameters, refer to Section 2.5.4, "[3.4] RF Menu (Network Interface Control)."...
Page 125 TRANSMIT KEY You need to use the TRANSMIT KEY in order to choose and activate any one of the WEP KEY1 through WEP KEY4 already defined. If the size of the WEP KEY specified as a TRANSMIT KEY for the BHT is different from that for the access point, no communication is possible.
Page 126: Infrared Communication
Chapter 3 Communications Operations of BHT-200Q/200QW 3.2 Infrared Communication The BHT has an integrated infrared (IR) communications device which enables wireless transfer of programs and data between the BHT and the host PC and between the BHTs, instead of the conventional wire transfer.
