Using RF Communications on the T2425s
Before you can begin using the T2425 to collect data, you need to install and configure
each device in the 2.4 GHz RF network by performing these steps:
1. Plan and prepare your network. Make sure you have all the equipment required to
use the T2425 in the network. Make sure you have IP addresses for all devices in the
network.
2. (UDP Plus network only) Configure the DCS 300.
3. Configure the access points.
4. Configure each terminal.
Each step is described in detail in the next sections.
Caution
Make sure all components with antennas are at least 1 feet (30 centimeters) apart
when power is applied. Failure to comply could result in equipment damage.
Conseil
Assurez-vous que la distance entre tous les éléments avec antennes soit d'au moins
un pied (30 centimètres) avant de faire la connexion avec l'alimentation électrique,
faute de quoi vous risquez d'endommager votre installation.
Planning the Network Connection
To use the T2425 in the RF network, you need these minimum requirements:
•
(UDP Plus network) DCS 300
•
Access point
When you first consider purchasing a wireless data collection system, an Intermec
representative works with you to perform a site survey at your facility. The site survey
analyzes the range of radio frequency devices in your facility and determines the
placement of the access points. The site survey ensures that the coverage of each access
point overlaps to provide uninterrupted wireless access at any location within the
building. This manual assumes that a site survey is complete and the access points are
installed in your facility.
You need to work with your network administrator to plan and assign the IP address for
each device in the RF network. You must assign and set the IP address for each access
point, and each terminal. For a T2425 with UDP Plus, you must also assign an IP
address to the DCS 300.
