Chapter 1 Getting Started

Introduction

Wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send captured data
to a host device in real time. Before using the mobile computer on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the
required hardware to run the wireless LAN and the mobile computer must be configured. Refer to the
documentation provided with the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
802.11d is enabled by default. When enabled, the AP must be configured the same in order to connect.
To configure the mobile computer, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless
radio in the mobile computer. The Wireless Application menu on the task tray provides the following wireless
applications:
•
Find WLANs
•
Manage Profiles
•
Manage Certs
•
Manage PACs
•
Options
•
Wireless Status
•
Wireless Diagnostics
•
Log On/Off
•
Enable/Disable Radio.
Tap the Signal Strength icon to display the Wireless Applications menu.

Tap-and-hold on a WLAN network to open a pop-up menu which provides two options: Connect and Refresh.
Select Refresh to refresh the WLAN list. Select Connect to create a WLAN profile from that network. This starts
the Profile Editor Wizard which allows you to set the values for the selected network. After editing the profile, the
mobile computer automatically connects to this new profile.
Chapter 3 Manage Profiles Application
WirelessOutofBoxMa gic

Introduction

The Manage Profiles application provides a list of user-configured wireless profiles. Define up to 32 profiles at any
one time. To open the Manage Profiles application, tap the Signal Strength icon > Manage Profiles.
Figure 3-1
Icons next to each profile identify the profile’s current state.

Icon Description
The profiles are listed in priority order for use by the automatic Profile Roaming feature. Change the order by
moving profiles up or down. To edit existing profiles, tap and hold one in the list and select an option from the menu
to connect, edit, disable (enable), or delete the profile. (Note that the Disable menu item changes to Enable if the
profile is already disabled.)

Changing Profiles

A completed profile is a set of configuration settings that can be used in different locations to connect to a wireless
network. Create different profiles to have pre-defined operating parameters available for use in various network
environments. When the WLAN Profiles window displays, existing profiles appear in the list.

Tap and hold a profile and select Connect from the pop-up menu to set this as the active profile. Once selected,
the mobile computer uses the setting configured for the profile (i.e., authentication, encryption, ESSID, IP Config,
power consumption, etc.).
Manage Profiles

Editing a Profile

Tap and hold a profile and select Edit from the pop-up menu to display the Profile Wizard where the profile
settings are configured. See Introduction on page 3-1 for instruction on editing a profile.

Creating a New Profile

To create new profiles from the Manage Profiles window, tap-and-hold anywhere in this window.
Figure 3-4
Select Add to display the Profile Wizard wherein the settings for the new profile are configured, such as profile
name, ESSID, security, network address information, and the power consumption level. See Introduction on page
3-1 for instruction on creating a profile.
Manage Profiles - Add

Deleting a Profile

To delete a profile from the list, tap and hold the profile and select Delete from the pop-up menu. A confirmation
dialog box appears.

Ordering Profiles

Tap and hold a profile from the list and select Move Up or Move Down to order the profile. If the current profile
association is lost, the mobile computer attempts to associate with the first profile in the list, then the next, until it
achieves a new association.
NOTE Profile Roaming must be enabled in the Options application. See Chapter 7, Options.

Export a Profile

To export a profile to a registry file, tap and hold a profile from the list and select Export from the pop-up menu. The
Save As dialog box displays with the Application folder and a default name of WCS_PROFILE{profile GUID}.reg
(Globally Unique Identifier).
Figure 3-5
If required, change the name in the Name field and tap Save. A confirmation dialog box appears after the export
completes.
Save As Dialog Box
Chapter 4 Profile Editor Wizard

Introduction

Use the Profile Editor Wizard to create a new WLAN profile or edit an existing profile. If editing a profile, the fields

reflect the current settings for that profile. If creating a new profile, default values appear in the fields.
Navigate through the wizard using the Next and Back buttons. Tap X to quit. On the confirmation dialog box, tap
No to return to the wizard or tap Yes to quit and return to the Manage Profiles window. See Chapter 3, Manage
Profiles Application for instructions on navigating to and from the Profile Editor Wizard.

Profile ID

In the Profile ID dialog box in the Profile Editor Wizard, enter the profile name and the ESSID.

(maximum) case sensitive string identifying the WLAN, and must match the AP ESSID for the mobile computer to communicate with the AP.
NOTE Two profiles with the same user friendly name are acceptable but not recommended.
Ta p Next. The Operating Mode dialog box displays.

Use the Operating Mode dialog box to select the operating mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc) and the country
location.

match the country in the options page or it must match the acquired country if 802.11d is enabled.
Single Country Use: When the device is only used in a single country, set every profile country to Allow Any Country. In the Options > Regulatory dialog box (see Figure 7-2 on page 7-2), select the
specific country the device is used in, and deselect the Enable 802.11d option. This is the most common and efficient configuration, eliminating the initialization overhead associated with acquiring a country via 802.11d.

Country (Cont'd) Multiple Country Use:
Operating Mode Fields (Continued)
Field Description
When the device is used in more than one country, select the Enable 802.11d option in the Options > Regulatory dialog box (see Figure 7-2 on page 7-2). This eliminates the need for
reprogramming the country (in Options > Regulatory) each time the user enters a new country. However, this only works if the infrastructure (i.e., APs) supports 802.11d (older firmware versions on wireless infrastructures do not support 802.11d). When the Enable
802.11d option is selected, the Options > Regulatory > Country setting is not used for infrastructure WLANs. 802.11d feature is only valid for Infrastructure WLANs and not for Ad-hoc WLANs. Ad-hoc WLANs will use the country options and needs to match the profile. For a single profile that can be used in multiple countries, with infrastructure that supports
802.11d (including Zebra infrastructure), set the Profile Country to Allow Any Country. Under Options > Regulatory, select Enable 802.11d. The Options > Regulatory > Country setting is not used.
For a single profile that can be used in multiple countries, but with infrastructure that does not support 802.11d, set the profile country to Allow Any Country, and de-select (uncheck) Enable 802.11d. In this case, the Options > Regulatory > Country setting must always be set to the country the device is currently in. This configuration option is the most efficient and may be chosen for use with any infrastructure. However, the Options > Regulatory > Country setting must be manually changed when a new country is entered. Note that using a single profile in multiple countries implies that there is a common ESSID to connect to in each country. This is less likely than having unique ESSIDs in each country, this requires unique profiles for each country.
For additional efficiency when using multiple profiles that can be used in multiple countries, the country setting for each profile can be set to a specific country. If the current country (found via 802.11d or set by Options > Regulatory > Country when 802.11d is disabled) does not match the country set in a given profile, then that profile is disabled. This can make profile roaming occur faster. For example, if two profiles are created and configured for Japan, and two more profiles are created and configured for USA, then when in Japan only the first two profiles are active, and when in USA only the last two are active. If they had all been configured for Allow Any Country, then all four would always be active, making profile roaming less efficient.
Ta p Next. If Ad-Hoc mode was selected the Ad-Hoc Channel dialog box displays. If Infrastructure mode was
selected the Security Mode dialog box displays. See Security Mode on page 4-5 for instruction on setting up
authentication.
