Note: Enabling DHCP or BOOTP will cause the M71V2 handheld terminal to take
slightly longer to establish a connection to the RF network due to the overhead involved
in obtaining network information from the server.
Radio Settings (WEP)
The Radio Settings allows the operator to set wireless network security settings.
The first radio setting is SSID (Service Set Identifier), a 32 character unique identifier
attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a
mobile device tries to connect to the network. The SSID differentiates one WLAN
from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific
WLAN must use the same SSID (SSID’s are CASE sensitive)!
You can leave the SSID blank and the M71V2 will match to any access point regardless
of its SSID as long as the WEP settings match.
Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a packet it does not supply any
security to the network.
An SSID is also referred to as a Network Name because essentially it is a name that
identifies a wireless network.
