Radio Network Overview
The radio network with ultra high frequency (UHF), 900
MHz, or 2.4 GHz radio products enables a user to operate
an INTERMEC
R
wireless terminal emulation station as if
it was a VT220 terminal. The mobility of the wireless sta-
tion enables the user to take it any place in the facility and
interface with a large variety of networks and host comput-
ers. This results in increased data collection, improved
time control, and the ability to run a large number of ap-
plications without the need to custom program, change soft-
ware, or learn new programming languages or protocols.
The radio network also:
" Provides industry standards.
" Supports Ethernet Version 2 (DIX) and IEEE 802.3,
and these connections: 10BASE2 (thin), 10BASE5
(thick), and 10BASE-T (UTP).
" Automatically recognizes the model of the wireless
station on the network. Wireless station models that
support VT220 terminal emulation are RT3210,
RT1100, RT1700, and RT5900 Radio Terminals; and
