JANUS 2.4 GHz Radio Frequency Quick Reference Guide
The JG2020 and the JG2050 for the 2.4 GHz network is slightly different than the one
described in the standard JANUS 2020 User’s Manual. Even though many of the
features and configuration commands are the same, your device does not support
IRL or PSK Transmit and Receive functions.
Overview of an Intermec 2.4 GHz RF Network
A radio frequency (RF) data collection network establishes a two-way radio
link between a JANUS RF device and a host. The data from the device is sent
in real time through the RF system to an 0100 Access Point and then on to the
host. The RF link is completely transparent to the user. The following
illustration shows one example of an Intermec 2.4 GHz RF data collection
network.

With your JANUS RF device you can move anywhere within the range of an
access point and transmit data to and from the host.
Setting Up the JANUS RF Devices
The JR2020G and the JG2020 are JANUS 2020 hand-held data collection
computers that operate in Intermec’s 2.4 GHz RF network. The J2050A and the
JG2050 are vehicle-mount computers that also operate in this network.
Before you can operate any JANUS RF device in the 2.4 GHz RF network, you
need to:
• Attach the antenna to the JR2020G, JG2020, J2050A or JG2050.
