Connecting the Terminal to a Wireless Network
You connect the terminal to a wireless network through the on-board radio (802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth).
Each radio has its own configuration program and requires specific information about the wireless
network to connect. Successful connection depends on your network infrastructure about which you will
need specific information from your network administrator.
WLAN (802.11b/g Radio)
5100s can have a 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that uses Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The radio is interoperable with other 802.11b/g, Wi-Fi-
compliant products including access points (APs), workstations via PC card adapters, and other wireless
portable devices.
By default, the 802.11b/g 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 WiFi Manager, which you access by selecting the program icon in
the command bar.
