Configuring Local Area Networks
Your CN3 is a versatile mobile computer that easily adds to your
wired or wireless data collection network. You can connect your
computer to a network using:
• USB communications.
• Ethernet communications.
• 802.11 radio communications.
Configuring USB Communications
You can place your computer in a single dock, multidock,
modem dock, or vehicle dock to transfer data to and receive data
from another device using USB communications. The USB cable
and all of the docks are sold separately. For information on
accessories and how to order them, see
“Accessories” on
page 131.
To use USB communications with your computer
1 Connect the dock to the USB port of the other device using
an appropriate USB cable.
2 Make sure your USB device is configured for USB
communications.
3 Insert the computer into the dock and turn it on.
A status box appears on the screen to show that the computer is
making a USB connection.
Configuring Ethernet Communications
You can use your computer directly in an Ethernet network if you
use the Ethernet and modem adapter and one of the
communications docks. The modem adapter provides an RJ-45
connector off of it to connect to your Ethernet network.
To use your computer in an Ethernet network
