NETWORK SETTINGS
Contact
Contact is the name of the IT person or Network Administrator
that you would go to in case of trouble.
Alias
Alias is merely a name for the scanner that would be more
easily recognizable than an IP Address. For instance: “Fred’s
MS860”, “S103”, or “Warehouse-23”.
You might want to note the following information for future reference.
This information is not strictly necessary, but might be useful in order to
maintain order over several MS860 units.
SNMP Community
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a software
tool to manage wireless networks. If your Network Administrator
is using SNMP, then they will be able to give you your SNMP
Community name.
Location
Location is the usual location of the scanner, be it the “Ware-
house”, “Virginia’s Office”, or wherever.
Authentification Type
If WEP (see above) is used, then the security key can be
presented to the AP in three different ways:
On - means that the security key is always presented by the
MS860, whether it is requested or not.
z
Disabled - means communication with the AP is not possible
if WEP is on because the security key will not be presented.
z
Auto - means the MS860 will automatically present the
security key when requested by the Access Point.
z
WEP
WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) is a security key for com-
municating with an access point. If the correct key is not
presented, communication is denied. Because WEP is used for
security reasons, it must be obtained from your Network Admin-
istrator.
