Operating the Terminal in a Network

Using RF Communications on the Terminal

Caution

Make sure all components with antennas are at least 30 cm (1 ft) apart when power is applied. Failure to comply could result in equipment damage.

Conseil

Assurez-vous que la distance entre tous les éléments avec antennes soit d'au moins 30 centimètres (un pied) avant de faire la connexion avec l'alimentation électrique, faute de quoi vous risquez d'endommager votre installation.

The 2435 has an internal antenna to transfer data using RF communications. Before you can use RF communications, you must perform these steps:

1.Plan and prepare your RF network. For help, see the next section, “Planning the Network Connection.”

2.(UDP Plus network only) Configure the DCS 30X. For help, see “Configuring the DCS 30X” on page 3-12.

3.Configure the access points. For help, see “Configuring the Access Points” on page 3-12.

4.Configure the network parameters on each terminal in the network.

The set of network parameters you must configure depends on whether you install the terminal on the same subnetwork as the DCS 30X or host (TCP/IP) or on a different subnetwork. For help determining which network parameters you must configure, see “About the Network Parameters” on page 3-14.

Planning the Network Connection

To use the 2435 in the RF network, you need these minimum requirements:

•DCS 30X (UDP Plus network)

•Access point

When you first consider purchasing a wireless data collection system, an Intermec representative works with you to perform a site survey at your facility. The site survey analyzes the range of radio frequency devices in your facility and determines the placement of the access points. The site survey ensures that the coverage of each access point overlaps to provide uninterrupted wireless access at any location within the building. This manual assumes that a site survey is complete and the access points are installed in your facility.

You must work with your network administrator to plan and assign the IP address for each device in the RF network. You must assign and set the IP address for each access point (RF) and each 2435. If you are using a UDP Plus network, you must also assign an IP address to the DCS 30X.
