GLOSSARY
Numeric
802.11/802.11abgn. A radio protocol that may be used by the Motorola radio card.
A
Access Point. Access Point (AP) refers to Motorola’s Ethernet Access Point. It is a piece of communications equipment
that manages communications between the host computer system and one or more wireless terminals. An AP
connects to a wired Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet wired network and IEEE 802.11
interoperable radio-equipped mobile units, such as a MC21XX. The AP allows a mobile user to roam freely through
a facility while maintaining a seamless connection to the wired network.
AirBEAM
®
Smart Client. AirBEAM® Smart Client is part of Motorola’s AirBEAM® suite, which also includes AirBEAM®
Safe and AirBEAM® Manager. The AirBEAM® Smart Client system uses the network accessible host server to store
software files that are to be downloaded to the MC21XXs. The AirBEAM® Smart Client provides the MC21XXs with
the “smarts” to request software from the host. It allows them to request, download and install software, as well as
to upload files and status data. The AirBEAM® Smart Client uses the industry standard FTP or TFTP file transfer
protocols to check the host system for updates, and if necessary, to transfer updated software. Most often,
AirBEAM® Smart Client is used with wireless networks, but any TCP/IP connection can be used. For more
information, refer to the AirBEAM® Smart Windows® CE Client Product Reference Guide (p/n 72-63060-xx).
