CB3000 Overview
The Symbol CB3000 Client Bridge is an IEEE 802.11a/b/g compliant wireless LAN Ethernet adapter.
The CB3000 operates in both 2.4GHz (GigaHertz) and 5.2GHz frequencies. The CB3000 extends
wireless networking capabilities to printers, scales, medical equipment, manufacturing machinery,
bar code readers, time clocks, point-of-sale and other data collection devices. The CB3000 provides
a reliable, cost-effective interface between devices utilizing RS-232 serial or Ethernet ports and
Symbol's wireless LAN switches and access points.
Multiple devices can share one CB3000 using a 10/100Base-T Ethernet hub. This feature saves
equipment costs when several devices require wireless Ethernet connectivity. The CB3000 has an
on-board TCP/IP stack to provide a reliable transport mechanism for serial data. The CB3000 can
initiate a permanent client connection to your server or accept datagrams from multiple sources. Use
the CB3000 to network devices that do not have a PC Card slot or PCI card slot (printers, scanners,
Internet appliances etc.).
