Chapter 6 Wireless Applications
Introduction
Wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send captured data
to a host device in real time. Before using the MC3100 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required
hardware to run the wireless LAN and the MC3100 must be configured. Refer to the documentation provided with
the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
To configure the MC3100, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless radio in
the MC3100. Refer to the Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide for Version 3.00 for information on
configuring wireless profiles. Go to http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/manuals
for the latest version of
this guide. See Software Versions on page xii to determine the Fusion version on the MC3100.
Tap the Signal Strength icon to display the Wireless Launcher menu.
NOTE 802.11d is enabled by default. When enabled, the AP must be configured the same in order to
connect.
NOTE Select the Country for the MC3100’s country of operation. The access point prompts for the correct
country code on the first login. A warning message also displays stating an incorrect country setting
may result in illegal radio operation. Selecting the correct country is central to legally operating the
access point. Each country has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic
emissions and the maximum RF signal that can be transmitted. To ensure compliance with national
and local laws, set the country accurately. MC3100 users cannot configure their access point until a
two character country code (for example, United States - us) is set. The Country setting drop-down
list in the US version of the MC3100 only contains “US” in the list. The Country setting drop-down
list in the WW version does not contain “US” in the list.
NOTE On devices with Windows Mobile 6.5.3, access the Wireless launcher from the Home screen.
Select the Fusion plug-in and then tap the Fusion Menu button. See Home Screen on page C-1 for
more information.
