and port #.)

 

 

After you shut down your PDA, when you “power on” the PDA again, it will open to the last application in use when it was “shut down.” If you are unable to navigate out of the “utility” program, you may use the PDA’s reset button to terminate the program. You can activate it again when needed.

If your wireless connection to the Access Point gets disconnected for any reason, you can reset and force a connection request by going to the utility program, selecting "Configure," checking parameters, then selecting "Modify" to force a re-scan.

If your device roams to a new Access Point which is in a different subnet, you may need to do one or both of the following: (1) Unplug and re-insert the Wireless LAN Compact Flash Adapter, or (2) Hard reset your device to force a "release and renew" of a re-assignment of the IP address in a DHCP Access Point environment.
