NETWORK SETTINGS

INTRODUCTION

The MS860 WiFi is designed to connect to your computer(s) via the existing wireless network through one of its Access Points (APs), thereby eliminating the dedicated wireless receiving unit required by other types of wireless scanners.

Integrating the MS860 into the wireless network is the same as integrating any other piece of wireless hardware, requiring that you give it its own unique IP address, which can be obtained from your network administrator. The MS860 WiFi’s default settings and explanations are shown below and described on the following pages.

Item	Default Setting
IP Address	192.168.1.250
IP Subnet Mask	255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address	192.168.1.254
SSID	wlandemo
RF Channel	6
WEP	Disabled
Authentication Type	Auto

Note: The default settings must be changed to allow the MS860 and the AP start communicating, and default settings are provided merely as a starting point.

How the MS860 WiFi actually works:

	Host
	Computer
	Scanners normally communicate directly with host computers via
	keyboard or RS232 interface. The MS860 WiFi instead communi-
	cates over your wireless network with the nearest Access Point
	(AP), which then communicates with the host computer.
	The host computer uses the VCOM utility to convert the WiFi signal
	to a Virtual Com Port (RS232) signal, which the host computer
	recognizes as one of the standard scanner interfaces.
