Wireless Radios

There are two radio options: 802.11b/g and Bluetooth.

1.802.11b/g: see WLAN (802.11b/g Radio) on page 6-6.

2.Bluetooth: see Bluetooth Manager on page 7-1.

Connecting the Terminal to a Wireless Network

You connect the terminal to a wireless network through the on-board radio (802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth). Each radio has its own configuration program and requires specific information about the wireless network to connect. Successful connection depends heavily on your network infrastructure about which you will need specific information from your network administrator.

WLAN (802.11b/g Radio)

Dolphin 7600s can have a 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The radio is interoperable with other 802.11b/g, Wi-Fi-compliant products including access points (APs), PCs via PC card adapters, and other wireless portable devices.

By default, the 802.11b/g radio is enabled after each hard reset, which means that the radio begins transmitting a signal as soon as the terminal finishes booting up. The next step is to configure the connection parameters of the radio to connect to a wireless network.

Configuring the WLAN Radio

The WLAN radio is configured in the Hand Held Products WLAN Security Supplicant which you access by double-tapping the

program icon in the command tray on the Today screen .

For complete configuration instructions, download the Hand Held Products WLAN Security Supplicant User’s Guide from www.handheld.com. A link to the Hand Held Products WLAN Security Supplicant User’s Guide appears on the Dolphin 7600 product page.
