2.11 Setting Up MUs

For a discussion of how to initially test the access point to ensure it can interoperate with the MUs
intended for its operational environment, see

Basic Device Configuration on page 3-3

and specifically

Testing Connectivity on page 3-11

Refer to the

LA-5030 & LA-5033 Wireless Networker PC Card and PCI Adapter Users Guide,

available

from the Symbol Web site, for installing drivers and client software if operating in an 802.11a/g
network environment.

Refer to the

Spectrum24 LA-4121 PC Card, LA-4123 PCI Adapter & LA-4137 Wireless Networker User

Guide,

available from the Symbol Web site, for installing drivers and client software if operating in

an 802.11b network environment.

Use the default values for the ESSID and other configuration parameters until the network connection
is verified. MUs attach to the network and interact with the AP transparently.
