Intermec 6710 manual Remote Access

SECTION 2 " Features and Functional Overview

The port uses a standard PC AT style cable, and operates at speeds up to 57.6 Kbps. Configuration using this port is described in Section 4, “Configuration.”

Remote Access

Remote access is available over TCP/IP connections using Telnet or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for configuration management, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for network management.

TCP/IP

The access point supports remote access through a Request for Comments (RFC) compliant TCP/IP stack. Before initial usage, the stack must be initially configured with an IP address and an optional default router through the RS-232 diagnostics port. Alternatively, the access point may be configured with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server name. The access point then obtains its IP address, default router, and subnet mask from a DHCP server.

DHCP Client

The access point contains a DHCP client, allowing it to receive an IP address over the network. The DHCP client supports temporary and permanent leases. It also accepts permanent leases from a Bootstrap Protocol (Bootp) server. See Section 4, “Configuration,” for further detail on DHCP operation.

Telnet

Telnet may be used to access the access point’s configuration menus. The command interface is identical to the command interface through the diagnostics port. See Section 4, “Configuration,” for more information about access through Telnet.
