Configuring CB3000 WLAN Settings
Use the WLAN Settings screen to define a CB3000 network (operating) mode of either Infrastructure
or Ad-hoc, select the ESSID (Wireless LAN Service Area) for the CB3000 connection and assess the
networks available for a CB3000 connection.
Use
Infrastructure to interoperate with an access point (AP). Using Infrastructure, the CB3000 can
roam freely between AP cells within the network. Infrastructure is the CB3000 default mode.
Select
Ad-hoc to form peer-to-peer CB3000 networks without access points. Use Ad-hoc to create
networks within established network coverage areas or networks free of the physical constraints of
access point provided radio coverage areas.
To configure CB3000 communication settings:
1. Select Settings -> Wireless Settings -> WLAN Settings from the CB3000 menu tree.
NOTE The configuration of the WLAN Settings should be performed before the
configuration of the Ethernet Settings or any other CB3000 configuration
activity.
CAUTION Do not connect a CB3000 set to Infrastructure mode directly to a LAN
(for example, through a wall port). Such a connection could cause a
transmission loop between the CB3000 and its associated access
point, disrupting network connectivity.
NOTE For the scope of the basic CB3000 configuration discussed in this guide,
only a CB3000 Infrastructure configuration is described. For information
on configuring the CB3000 for Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer) operation, refer to the
CB3000 Client Bridge User Guide available on your product CDROM or
from the Symbol Web site (
