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 MC45 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the
required hardware to run the wireless LAN and the MC45 must be configured. Refer to the documentation
provided with the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
To configure the MC45, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless radio
in the MC45. Refer to the Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide for Version X.XX for
information on configuring wireless profiles; where X.XX is the Fusion version. Go to

for the latest version of this guide. See Software Versions on page xiv to
determine the Fusion version on the MC45.
Fusion Overview
The Fusion software contains applications with which to create wireless profiles. Each profile specifies the
security parameters to use for connecting to a particular WLAN as identified by its ESSID. The Fusion software
also allows the user to control which profile out of a set of profiles is used to connect. Other Fusion applications
allow the user to monitor the status of the current WLAN connection and to invoke diagnostic tools for
troubleshooting.
To access Fusion, tap the Start > > Wireless Launcher.
Fusion Applications
Many of the items in the menu invoke one of the Fusion applications. These menu items and their
corresponding applications are summarized below:
