Chapter 4 Wireless Applications
Introduction
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send captured
data to a host device in real time. The MC909X mobile computer supports the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g
standards. Before using the mobile computer on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to
run the wireless LAN and the mobile computer must be configured. Refer to the documentation provided with the
access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
To configure the mobile computer, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless
radio in the mobile computer. 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 (not available on Windows CE 5.0 devices with Fusion 2.3 and lower)
• Log On/Off.
