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 EDA on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the
required hardware to run the wireless LAN and the EDA must be configured. Refer to the documentation
provided with the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
To configure the EDA, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless radio in
the EDA. The Wireless Application menu on the task tray provides the following wireless applications:
• Wireless Status
• Wireless Diagnostics
• Find WLANs
• Manage Profiles
• Options
• Enable/Disable Radio
• Log On/Off.
Tap the
Signal Strength icon to display the Wireless Applications menu.
