Note: The 802.11a radio is an extra cost option not supported on all
CK60s. Contact your Intermec representative for more information.
The CK60 is a versatile mobile computer that you can add to your wired or
wireless data collection network. You can connect your CK60 to your
network using any of these communications:
• Serial
• 802.11a/b/g radio
• Ethernet
• Bluetootht radio
The CK60 has a serial port to transfer data to and receive data from another
device via RS-232 communications. You can also insert the CK60 into a
communications dock to transmit data to and receive data from a host
computer or PC using RS-232 communications. The serial cable and the
communications dock are sold separately. For more information, see
"Accessories for the CK60" on page
To use serial communications with your CK60, connect the CK60 to the
serial port of another device, by:
• connecting the CK60 Serial Port to the serial port of the other device
using the 26-pin to DB9-pin serial cable adapter and a female-to-female
null modem RS-232 cable;
• connecting the dock to the serial port of the other device using a DB9-
pin to DB9-pin serial adapter cable, then insert the CK60 into the dock;
or
• connecting a USB cable between the USB connector in the back of the
dock and your desktop computer.
Make sure all components with antennas are at least 30 cm (1 ft) aport
when power is applied. Failure to comply could result in equipment
damage.
The wireless CK60 has an internal 802.11a/b/g radio to transfer data using
wireless communications. This section of the manual assumes that you have
already set up your wireless communications network including access
points. If you are using a UDP Plus network, you also need to have an
Intermec Application Server communicating with a host computer.
Your CK60 supports TCP/IP and UDP Plus network protocols.
