Network Setup

By selecting the Network Setup function from the Main Menu the wireless network adapter can be configured. The “Network Connection Info” dialog box displays the RF Status (RF) the current IP Address (IP), Network Mask (MASK) and the MAC Address (MAC) of the wireless Ethernet card that is installed in the M71V2. The RF Status is described in more detail in the Diagnostics portion of this manual.

The standard network settings are changed by hitting the [ENTER] key while the Network Settings menu item is highlighted.

The user will see one of the three screens shown above. If the wireless local area (WLAN) network has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server attached to the network, then the DHCP function can be used. To select the DHCP function, simply use the arrow keys to highlight the DHCP button. If your network uses the BOOTP protocol then highlight that button. Note that when using DHCP or BOOTP, several of the items below are missing. This is because the DHCP server or the BOOTP server will automatically assign these values. If the wireless WLAN does not use the DHCP or BOOTP functions, then the user must type in the appropriate values for the M71V2 handheld terminal to communicate.

Warning: These values are unique for each network and are assigned by your local Systems Administrator. Improperly setting these functions or values will cause the M71V2 to fail to communicate and can cause problems with other network devices.
