The setup of the wireless access point is specific to the brand and model of access point that is being used. Consult the documentation for your access point.

 

Generally, access points are configured either through special software or through a web browser. Through the configuration method specific to your access point, several settings must be set specific to your area. These settings are described in the following table:

 

 

Change the IP settings to match your network. The Unit name and Net _ID can be anything you designate. We recommend you be specific to your location. All access points and handhelds use the same net id (ESSID). However, the IP address and Unit name must be different for all access points. Change diversity to on. Change DHCP to disabled – Siriusware Inc. has discovered that scanners often are not able to regain their IP addresses when disconnected if DHCP is used. Fixed IP addresses are recommended.

Test your configuration by “pinging” the access points from any computer on the network.

 

Note: For security purposes, Siriusware, Inc. recommends setting up your access point to only talk to designated MAC addresses. The MAC address is like a serial number in the handheld unit and can be obtained on the handheld. Please consult the documentation for the unit for more information
