Chapter 4 — Setup in Fingerprint
SETUP GET "wlan","CHANNEL",A$
gets the current channel in A$.
Access Point Information
e printer associates with an access point. e read-only setup-variable
“AP_MAC” will assume the MAC address of the access point that the
printer is currently associated with. If no association has been performed,
the value of “AP_MAC” is “00:00:00:00:00:00”.
SETUP GET "wlan","AP_MAC",A$
gets the MAC address of the associated access point in A$.
Signal Strength
An important tool when working out problems with wireless LANs
is a signal strength meter. e printer monitors the received signal
strength, and makes it available to the user. e read-only setup variable
“SIGNAL” assumes the value of the current received signal strength. e
value may vary from 0 (no signal) to 100 (maximum strength).
SETUP GET "wlan","SIGNAL",A$
gets signal strength in A$.
Speed
Depending on different (radio) network parameters, such as distribution
of access points, frequencies, number of clients, etc., the network
card may select a lower speed than the maximum for better overall
performance. e selected speed (rounded down to whole Mbps) can be
read from the printer. e read-only setup-variable “SPEED” can assume
values from 0 up to 54 (Mbps).
SETUP GET "wlan","SPEED",A$
gets the speed in A$.
Region (a.k.a. Regulatory Domain)
Some countries and regulatory authorities only allow the use of a subset
of the 14 channels specified in the 802.11b/g standard. To make the
product world configurable the setup variable “.REGION” is used.
e region can only be set by personnel authorized by Intermec. If the
