802.11/802.11abg. A radio protocol that may be used by the WLAN radio card.

Access Point. Access Point (AP) refers to Motorola’s Ethernet Access Point. It is a piece of communications equipment that

manages communications between the host computer system and one or more wireless terminals. An AP connects to a wired Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet wired net work and IEE E 802.11 inte ro perab le radio-equipped mobile units, such as a mobile computer. The AP allows a mobile user to roam freely through a facility while maintaining a seamless connection to the wired network.

Safe and AirBEAM® Manager. The AirBEAM® Smart Client system uses the network accessible host server to store software files that are to be downloaded to the mobile computers. The AirBEAM® Smart Client provides the mobile computers with the “smarts” to request software from the host. It allows them to request, download and install software, as well as to upload files and status data. The AirBEAM® Smart Client uses the industry standard FTP or TFTP file transfer protocols to check the host system for updates, and if necessary, to transfer updated software. Most often, AirBEAM® Smart Client is used with wireless networks, but any TCP/IP connection can be used. For more information, refer to the AirBEAM® Smart Windows® CE Client Product Reference Guide (p/n 72-63060-xx).

AP. See Access Point. Aperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view. ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals,

Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol. Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable

form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.

Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch). Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width. Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same

bar.

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data.

The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received. Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data.

The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

bps. See Bits Per Second. Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific

character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.

boot or boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic

tests and configure hardware and software.

CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety. This

agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.

CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. This class is considered intrinsically safe, even if all laser

output were directed into the eye's pupil. There are no special operating procedures for this class.

CDRH Class 2. No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit. Laser operation in this class poses

no danger for unintentional direct human exposure.

Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a

number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.

Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.
