Configuring Bluetooth Radio Communications
You can send information to printers wirelessly using the Bluetooth quali-
fied module by Socket Communications. The Bluetooth technology uses
short-range radio links and allows for communications over a 5-meter (16.4
ft) range.
To configure the CN30 for wireless printing
1 Go to Settings > System > Wireless Printing. The Bluetooth menu
appears:
2 Select Set Printer (Device Discovery) to start the Bluetooth device
discovery. A list of discovered devices appears in the Devices dialog box.
3 Select the device you want to use from the list and press Enter.
You are now ready to send information to the selected device. If devices are
discovered, but your device is not displayed in the box, make sure your
device and radio are turned on and try device discovery again. For more
information on using Bluetooth communications, see the Wireless Printing
Development Guide available on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD (P/N
235-114-001) or the Intermec web site.
Configuring Security
The CN30 provides three types of wireless local area network (WLAN)
security:
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• 802.1x
• WEP
Use the next sections to understand how to configure each type of security
on your wireless CN30. If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling
Security” on page XX for help. Intermec always recommends that you
implement security.
The CN30 provides both Microsoft and Funk security choices. Microsoft
security is the default setting. Use the following sections to set security
using either Microsoft or Funk as your security choice.
If you want to extend the connectivity of your WLAN to remote servers,
you can configure a virtual private network (VPN) to communicate
through a dedicated server to a corporate network over the internet. For
help setting up a VPN, see “Configuring a VPN” on page 67. If you are
using 802.1x security, this section also assumes that your authentication
server and access points are properly configured. For more information on
the different types of security, see the MobileLAN™ secure 802.1x Security
