User's Manual

Network Interface
The Wireless Communication Adapter system
relies on an 802.11b radio network. The radio
network is configured to operate in Ad Hoc
mode (Channel 11) and utilizes an IP Address
Range in Private Address space (172.23.x.x)
by default but can be changed as needed
based on the site-specific network
requirements. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
is enabled with a default static WEP key. This
too can be configured based on local
requirements. For information regarding the
modification of settings for the Wireless
Communication Adapter, refer to the Contact
Information section at the front of this manual.
Contact your local Network Administrator for
more information and assistance in changing
and documenting these settings.
