Before using the VC6000 Series on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the wireless LAN and the VC6000 Series 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.

Chapter 6 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 (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption. VC6000 Seriess with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g.
PAGE 84
6-2 VC6000 Series Product Reference Guide The Bluetooth radio in this VC6000 Series 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.
PAGE 85
Using Bluetooth 6-3 Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the VC6000 Series. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity. Disabling Bluetooth To disable Bluetooth, tap Bluetooth icon > Disable Bluetooth.

6-4 VC6000 Series Product Reference Guide Bluetooth Power States Cold Boot Performing a cold boot on the VC6000 Series turns off Bluetooth after initialization (which takes a few moments). It is normal to see the Bluetooth icon appear and disappear, as well as a wait cursor, when initialization proceeds in all modes. Warm Boot Performing a warm boot on the VC6000 Series returns Bluetooth to the last state after initialization. Suspend Suspending the VC6000 Series turns off Bluetooth.
