Chapter 2 — Configuring the CN2G
The Intermec Application Server translates UDP Plus packets on the wireless network into TCP/IP packets on the wired network and vice versa. The access point acts as a bridge to allow communications between the wired network and the wireless network.
To use wireless communications in a UDP Plus network
1Configure these network parameters on each CN2G in the network:
•Network name (SSID)
•Controller IP address
•IP settings (if not using DHCP)
•Controller port (set to 5555)
2Configure the security. For help, see the next section, “Configuring Security.”
The easiest way to configure the network parameters on the CN2G is to use Intermec Settings. For help, see “Configuring the CN2G Locally With Intermec Settings” on page 24.
Configuring Security
The CN2G provides three types of security for your wireless network:
•
•802.1x
•WEP
This section explains how to configure security on your wireless CN2G. If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling Security” on page 50. Intermec always recommends that you implement security.
You must use either Microsoft or Funk security software to implement your security solution. For details, see the next section, “Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security.”
