10.16. WLAN (802.11b/g/n Radio)
HANDY TERMINAL has a 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that uses
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The radio is interoperable with other
802.11b/g/n, Wi-Fi compliant products including access points (APs), workstations via PC card
adapters, and other wireless portable devices.
By default, the 802.11b/g/n radio is powered-off (i.e., disabled) “out of the box” To power it on (i.e.,
enable), press the vertical arrow (bottom right corner of screen) and select Turn Wireless LAN On.
The enable/disable state of the radio will survive subsequent soft and hard resets. 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 Summit Client Utility, which you access by double tapping the
program icon in the command bar.
For complete configuration instructions, download the Summit SCU User’s Guide from
http://www.summitdata.com/documentation.html .
10.17. Adding Programs from the Internet
When you have established a network connection (whether via Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, or
activeSync), you can access the Internet and download additional software programs.
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for
Windows CE 6.0 Pro and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start ->
Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> General tab. Make a note of the information in the
Processor field.
1. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the program’s location. You may see a single *.exe or
setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors.
2. Select the program version that matches your Handy Terminal and processor.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program.
Many programs provide special installation instructions.
4. Download the program to the terminal directly from the Internet.
You would normally store the program in the
Program Files folder unless another location is
required by the program.
