Wireless LANs allow the mobile computer to communicate wirelessly and to send captured data in real time to a host device. The
mobile computer WLAN settings are used to configure and monitor the wireless connection. Before a mobile computer can be used
on a WLAN, the facility must be set up to run the wireless WLAN, Remote Authentication Dial in Server (RADIUS) and the Certificate
Server. Refer to the documentation provided with the Access Points (APs) for instructions on setting up the required hardware.
