Configuring the 2461 Terminal
When you install the 2461 terminal in a network, you must configure a set of network
parameters that control how the terminal communicates in the network.
Configure the network parameters by scanning the configuration command from a Code
39 or Code 93 bar code label. The configuration commands are listed alphabetically by
command name in Chapter 8, “Configuration Command Reference.”
The set of network parameters you must configure depends on whether you install the
terminal on the same IP subnetwork as the DCS 300 (UDP Plus) or host (TCP/IP), or on
a different subnetwork. The next table lists the parameters you configure in each type of
network.

Using the Status Lights to Monitor Network Communications
After you have configured the devices in the Ethernet network, you can begin using the
application on the 2461 terminal to collect and transmit data. If the 2461 is
communicating with your host computer, the terminal will connect and begin running
the application that shipped on the terminal. You can begin using the terminal to collect
data.
As you use the 2461 terminal to collect data, status lights help you monitor network
communications on the terminal. Use the Network Connect light to monitor
communications between the 2461 and other devices in the Ethernet network.
