Starting and Testing the EasyLAN Wireless
When the EasyLAN Wireless is powered on, the option goes through the following
startup sequence:
•
The EasyLAN Wireless runs through a set of power-up diagnostics for a few
seconds. If the EasyLAN Wireless is operating properly, the yellow and green
LEDS blink momentarily and then go out. If the green LED blinks continuously in a
regular pattern, there is a problem. Try unplugging the power to the printer and then
plugging it in again. If the problem persists, contact your local Intermec
representative.
•
When a successful connection is made to the EasyLAN Wireless from another
802.11b wireless device like an access point or PC, the yellow LED stays lit. The
green LED blinks whenever there is wireless networking activity.
After the green and yellow LEDs go out, print a test label to make sure that the wireless
print option is working. The test label shows the current wireless and network settings
of the EasyLAN Wireless.

“Understanding the EasyLAN Wireless” earlier in this chapter.
If you cannot print a test page, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”
Connecting the EasyLAN Wireless to an RS-232 Serial Port
To initially configure the EasyLAN Wireless, you must connect it to your PC using the
RS-232 serial port. The EasyLAN Wireless has one standard serial port. The serial port
uses PC-compatible 9-pin male D-connectors. Note that the standard off-the-shelf 9-pin
female to 25-pin male PC cables require a null modem in order to connect to most
printers or terminals. The following illustration and table show the pin-outs for the serial
port.
