CHAPTER 5 WIRELESS APPLICATIONS
Introduction
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send captured
data to a host device in real time. Before using the MC55 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the
required hardware to run the wireless LAN and the MC55 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 MC55, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless radio
in the MC55. Refer to the Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide for Version X.XX for
information on configuring wireless profiles; where X.XX is the Fusion version. Goto
