Chapter 3— Operating the Terminal in a Network
56 Trakker Antares 242X Handheld Terminal User’s Manual
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 need to assign and set
the IP address for each access point (RF), and each 2425. If you are using a
UDP Plus or WTP network, you also need to assign an IP address to the
Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X.
Configuring the Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X
Note: The Intermec Gateway is pre-installed on the G4000 Server
Appliance.
The Intermec Gateway and DCS 30X support and manage
communications with other devices in the UDP Plus or WTP network.
When you install and configure the Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X, you
identify the host computers and 2425 terminals in your network.
In a UDP Plus network, the terminals communicate using a reliable RF
protocol (UDP Plus) to the Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X. The Intermec
Gateway or DCS 30X translates UDP Plus to a reliable wired protocol
(TCP/IP) and sends the data to the host. For more information, see the
Intermec Gateway User’s Guide (P/N 072245) or the user’s manual for the
DCS 30X.
In a WTP network, the terminals communicate to the Intermec Gateway
or DCS 30X through the access points connected to the Ethernet network.
For more information, see the appropriate TE 2000 manual.
Note: You can use a 2425 running TCP/IP and the Intermec Gateway or
DCS 30X in a pass-through network. You establish a direct TCP/IP socket
connection from the 2425 to the host through the server.
To allow the 2425 to communicate with the Intermec Gateway or
DCS 30X, you need to perform these tasks:
• Define the host communications parameters, which includes the
physical connection (network adapter cards) to the host.
• Define the host environment parameters, which includes configuring for
terminal emulation or client/server applications.
• Configure the UDP Plus or WTP network.
• Assign an IP address to each 2425.
