Checking The Scanner
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 33
Once you’ve completed the configuration:
• Tap the Main tab. Tap on the Active Profile button – your new profile will be listed
in the drop-down menu.
When you tap on the profile you created, the 802.11a/b/g radio module attempts to connect
to the network using the following steps:
- Associate to the SSID.
- Authenticate to the network.
- If EAP authentication is being used, derive dynamic encryption keys.
- If DHCP is being used by the network, obtain an IP address.
If the radio is not connecting properly:
• Tap on the Status tab.
The Status dialog box lists the IP and MAC addresses, and indicates the current state of the
radio, the signal strength, channel and so on.
You can go to the Diags tab for DHCP renewal, ICMP Echo Requests (Pings), and
diagnostics.
2.9 Checking The Scanner
If your 7545 is equipped with an internal scanner, you can test it to ensure that it is operating
properly. Point the scanner window at a bar code that your scanner was designed to de-
code—for example, a 1D UPC bar code or 2D bar code. Press the SCAN button or pistol
trigger, and check for a valid decode on the computer’s screen.
Performance is improved if you disable all unneeded bar codes in the Bar Codes screen.
Review Appendix C: “Bar Code Settings” for details about bar codes.
Important: For details about the Status dialog box, refer to page B-9 of Appendix B:
SCU For 802.11b/g Radio.
Note: Details about operating and troubleshooting scanners and RFID readers are pro-
vided under the heading “Internal Scanners” on page 58.
