RF Communication

Windows CE can support TCP/IP protocol, so the user can easily connect to the Internet by Modem or RF. The following chapter is an introduction on how to connect the PA962 to a network via TCP/IP.

There are several PCMCIA RF cards available on the market. These cards provide the PA962 with wireless communications. Currently, Unitech provides Cisco 350, Agere (Lucent OEM 802.11b card) support for the PA962 with the drivers pre-installed. By selecting a supported card for the PA962 RF communi- cation will be “plug-and-play”.

RF networks look and operate similarly to Ethernet networks. The only differ- ence is that a radio transmission replaces the hard-wire connection between the various nodes. This means all of your existing applications that currently operate over Ethernet will also function utilizing WLAN without any special wireless network software. This picture illustrates a typical network topology including the PA962 with RF.
