2-8LA-5030 PC Card & LA-5033 PCI Adapter User Guide
By adding the TPC and DCS functionality, the LA-5033 PCI adapter and LA-5030 PC Card minimize interference to broadcasts and other systems.
2.8 Rogue AP Detection
The LA-5033 PCI adapter and LA-5030 PC Card can interoperate with the Symbol AP-4131 access point to detect other devices operating within its coverage area by transmitting beacons and receiving probe responses through a wired Ethernet connection. It is possible that not all of the devices identified by the access point are operating legitimately.
A rogue AP is an AP located nearby an authorized Symbol AP but recognized as not operating legitimately. The Symbol AP-4131 access point can trap rogue access points by differentiating them into several different rogue classes. The LA-5030 PC Card and LA-5033 PCI adapter work with the AP-4131 access point by proving the AP a list of devices it can detect on the wireless network. The AP then is able to differentiate them (if necessary) into a rogue device category.
For information on configuring Rogue AP support on the Symbol AP-4131 access point for use with the LA-5033 PCI adapter and LA-5030 PC Card, refer to the Spectrum24 AP-4131 Access Point Product Reference Guide available at (http://www.symbol.com/services/downloads).
2.9 Software Installation Options
Symbol recommends using the Symbol Wireless Networker 802.11 a/g Configuration Utility to configure and manage LA-5030 adapter settings. The installation of Symbol Wireless Networker 802.11 a/g Configuration Utility is part of the device driver installation procedure.
Alternatively, the adapter can be managed using the Windows Zero Config utility. Zero Config is a Microsoft provided utility shipped with Windows 2000 and XP.
Use the Symbol Wireless Networker 802.11 a/g Configuration Utility for a more diverse set of driver configuration settings designed specifically for use with the LA-5030 PC Card and LA-5033 PCI adapter and its custom feature set.
The Symbol Wireless Networker 802.11 a/g Configuration Utility and the Microsoft Zero Config utility cannot function if enabled simultaneously. Do not enable the Microsoft Zero Config utility if using the Symbol Wireless Networker 802.11 a/g Configuration Utility to manage the adapter.
