TE 2000 Terminal Emulation Programmer's Guide VT/ANSI

Chapter 1 —Getting StartedUnderstanding Network Protocol OptionsTE 2000 applications for the Enterprise Wireless LANt system use one ofthe following network protocol options:S UDP PlusThe terminal communicates with the host computer through the IntermecR Data Collection Server (DCS) 300 and an access point.S TCP/IPThe terminal communicates through an Intermec access point, which isdirectly connected to the host computer on an Ethernet or a token ringnetwork.S WTPThe terminal communicates with the host computer through the DCS300, Intermec access point, or other Intermec gateways.For network configuration options, refer to your terminal’s user manual.Setting Up the Terminal and the NetworkBefore you can start using the TE 2000 application on your terminal, youneed to do the following:1 Set up your terminal.Set-up includes charging and installing the battery pack and turning onthe terminal for the first time. For instructions, refer to your terminal’suser manual.Note: Battery packs do not apply to all terminals. Vehicle mount and stationaryterminals are powered via an external source.2 Configure your terminal and the network.To use RF communications on the terminal, you need to:a Configure the DCS 300 (UDP Plus or WTP), other INTERMECgateway (WTP), or host (TCP/IP).b Configure the access point. This does not apply to the 2480/2481 Terminal,which contains an Ethernet NIC instead of a radio.c Configure the network parameters on the terminal.For instructions, refer to your terminal’s user manual.3 Verify that your terminal is communicating correctly with the accesspoint and DCS 300 or the host.To verify that your terminal is communicating correctly, refer to theterminal’s user manual for instructions.2 TE 2000 VT/ANSI Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Guide
