10.14. Connecting the Terminal to a Wireless Network
You connect the terminal to a wireless network through the on-board radio (802.11b/g/nBluetooth
and/or Phone).
Each radio has its own configuration program and requires specific information about the wireless
network to connect. Successful connection depends on your network infrastructure about which you
will need specific information from your network administrator.
☞NOTE: 802.11 b/g/n radio module is off by default, in order to avoid wasting energy, you can switch it off using the
Wireless Communications applet
☞NOTE: Suspending the terminal powers off the 802.11 b/g/n radio and drops the radio connection. When the
terminal resumes, depending on the radio power mode and security protocol selected, it may take up to 30 seconds
for the 802.11 b/g/n radio drivers to re-associate the radio to the network.
☞NOTE: Area coverage and radio performance may vary, due to environmental conditions, access points types or
interference caused by other devices (microwave ovens, radio transmitters, etc.).If necessary, please turn off the
WALN or Bluetooth.
☞NOTE: Radio performance may vary if using WLAN, Bluetooths and Phone and phone imultaneously. If necessary,
please turn off either WLAN or Bluetoothand/or Phone..
10.15. WLAN (802.11b/g/n Radio)
HANDY TERMINAL has a 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/nWLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that
uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The radio is interoperable with other
802.11b/g/n, Wi-Fi compliant products including access points (APs), workstations via PC card
adapters, and other wireless portable devices.
By default, the 802.11b/g/n radio is powered-off (i.e., disabled) “out of the box” To power it on (i.e.,
enable), press the vertical arrow (bottom right corner of screen) and select Turn Wireless LAN On.
The enable/disable state of the radio will survive subsequent soft and hard resets. The next step is
to configure the connection parameters of the radio to connect to a wireless network.
Configuring the WLAN Radio
The WLAN radio is configured in thePointmobile WLAN Client, which you access by the program icon
in the command bar.
10.16. Adding Programs from the Internet
When you have established a network connection (whether via Wireless LAN, Bluetooth,
oractiveSync), you can access the Internet and download additional software programs.
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for
embedded CE 6.0 Coreand the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> General tab. Make a note of the
information in the Processor field.
1. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the program’s location. You may see a single *.exe or
setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors.
