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
•

(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.

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.
Ad-Hoc
Use the Ad-Hoc Channel dialog box to configure the required information to create an Ad-hoc profile. This dialog
box does not appear if you selected Infrastructure mode.
