CHAPTER 5 USING WLAN Introduction NOTE The WLAN feature is only applicable for the MC4597. The WLAN feature supports the 802.11 a/b/g networking mode. WLANs allow the MC45 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the MC45 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the MC45 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.

Chapter 6 Using GPS Navigation Introduction The MC45 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the QC Modem Solution chipset. GPS technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth.
6 - 2 MC45 User Guide Operation Acquiring satellite signals may take several seconds to a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC45 being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable. NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC45 does not go into suspend mode.
Using GPS Navigation 6 - 3 Assisted GPS GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites and other aiding data that helps the acquisition.

Chapter 7 Using Bluetooth Introduction Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.4). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption. MC45 with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g.
7 - 2 MC45 User Guide The Bluetooth radio in this MC45 operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space. NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.
