CHAPTER 5 WIRELESS
This section provides information on the wireless features:
• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
• Bluetooth
• Near Field Communications (NFC).
Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the TC51 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using
the TC51 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known
as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the TC51 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius
servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & networks
settings configure the TC51 to match the security scheme.
The TC51 supports the following WLAN security options:
• Open
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 Personal (PSK).
• Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status. See Status Bar for more
information.
