IK8560C—Wireless LAN with 802.11b
Overview
The IK8560C has an on-board 2.4 GHz 802.11b WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The signal is spread continuously over a wide frequency band at a data rate of up to 11 Mbps.
The radio is interoperable with other 802.11b Wi-Fi-compliant products including Access Points (APs), PCs via PC card adapters
and other wireless portable devices.
Note: The IK8560C does have an RJ45 jack on the back panel; however IK8560C devices do not support wired ethernet
communication! Only IK8560E devices contain a functional ethernet controller that allows ethernet communication.
Cable Options
There is a six inch L connector power cable that you can use to power the IK8560C.
Configuring the 802.11b Radio
On IK8560C devices, the 802.11b driver is enabled during the boot process, which means that the radio is transmitting an RF
signal. However, you need to configure the radio in Windows CE to connect to your wireless LAN.
You can configure the radio via Windows CE using wireless zero config…
