Section 1 - INTRODUCTION TO WI-FI &ADVANCED NETWORKING
TheoptionalWi-Fi&AdvancedNetworkingexpansionenablestheScanner3100owcomputertoestablish
a local wireless network or to connect to an existing wireless network. This feature allows you to connect to
theScanner3100usingtheintegralWi-Fiofasmartphone,tablet,orPC,therebyavoidingtheneedtoopen
the device enclosure to access the web interface through the wired Ethernet connection. Connecting to your
establishedwirelessnetworkinfrastructurebringsimmediateconnectivitytotheScanner3100WebInterface,
FTP server, and TCP communication ports.
Since this is an optional expansion, it is important to ensure it is installed before attempting any connection
orcongurationoftheWi-Fi&AdvancedNetworkingexpansion.Thiscanbeveriedbyholdingyourhandan
inch or less away from the left side of the screen. After 3 seconds, the screen will switch to show the LAN and
Wi-Ficongurations.IftheWi-Fisays“NotInstalled”,thentheWi-Fi&AdvancedNetworkingexpansionisnot
installed.
WithWi-Fi&AdvancedNetworkingexpansionboardinstalledintheScanner3100,theEthernetconnection
is also upgraded with additional features. In addition to connecting to existing managed networks as a client,
the Scanner 3100 can also act as a router, creating and managing its own local network of wired devices.
This feature allows you to operate the Scanner 3100 as a stand-alone network and directly connect a wired
laptop with ease, requiring only an ethernet cable and no additional networking equipment.
TheWi-FiconnectionontheScanner3100isindependentandseparatefromtheEthernetconnection;using
one does not limit or preclude the use of the other. For example, you can connect the Scanner 3100 to your
wiredinfrastructurewhileconguringtheScanner3100toadditionallyprovideawirelessaccesspointforuser
Wi-Fienableddevices.
WiredandwirelessnetworksintheScanner3100arenotbridgedandaddinganadditionalnetworkposes
nosecurityrisktotheothers.AuserconnectingviaWi-FitotheScanner3100isonaseparatenetworkand
cannot access computers or resources that may be connected to the Scanner 3100’s wired network. Similarly
users connected to the wired network have no access to resources on the wireless network.
ThisguidewillprovidestepsonhowtoconnecttoyourScanner3100forthersttimeusingtheEthernetso
youmaygainaccesstotheWebInterfaceforconguration,andhowtocongureyourScanner3100asa
WirelessAccessPoint,aWirelessClient,anEthernetDHCP(Stand-Alone)LANserver,oranEthernetClient.
ThisguidealsodetailsthestepsforconnectingyourpersonalWi-FiorEthernetenableddevicestoaScanner
3100thatisalreadyconguredinoneofthesemodes.

Scanner3100NetworkCongurations
AScanner3100equippedwithaWi-FiexpansionmodulecanbeconguredtooperateinoneoftwoWireless
modes and one of two Ethernet modes, as described below.
Wireless Access Point
A wireless access point is a device that creates a wireless local area
network for other devices to connect to. As a wireless access point,
theScanner3100hostsapublicnetwork(asshowninFigure 1)with
the Scanner 3100 as the default SSID. If you have more than one
wirelessaccesspoint(i.e.twoScanner3100’shostingseparatewire-
lessaccesspoints),eachpublicnetworkmusthaveauniqueSSID.
The section ConguretheScanner3100asaWirelessAccessPoint
(page 11)willstepyouthroughthisconguration.
Figure 1 - Wireless Access Point
Wireless Client
As a wireless client, the Scanner 3100 connects to
anexistingwirelessnetwork(asshowninFigure 2),
thereby allowing the Scanner 3100 to be available on
acustomer’sexistingWi-FinetworkthroughtheIP
addressassignedbythecustomer’sDHCPserver.
TheScanner3100canalsobeconguredbyas-
signing it a valid static IP address on the customer’s
existing network.
The section ConguretheScanner3100asaWire-
less Client(page 15)will step you through this
conguration.
Ethernet Client
As an ethernet client, the Scanner 3100 connects
toanexistingwirednetwork(asshowninFigure 3),
thereby allowing the Scanner 3100 to be available
on a customer’s existing network through the IP ad-
dressassignedbythecustomer’sDHCPserver.The
Scanner3100canalsobeconguredbyassigning
it a valid static IP address on the customer’s existing
network.
The section ConguretheScanner3100asan

Ethernet DHCP Server
ADHCPserverisadevicethatdynamicallyassignsIPaddresses
todevicesthatconnecttothenetworkitisoperatingon.When
conguredasaethernetDHCPserverandnotconnectedtoany
other wired network, the Scanner 3100 hosts its own managed wired
network(asshowninFigure 4).Thispermitsuserstoconnecttheir
personalEthernetenableddevice(e.g.Laptop)directlytotheScan-
ner3100withanethernetcablewithnoadditionalcongurationor
equipment.

Section 2 - CONNECTING TO THE SCANNER 3100 FOR THE FIRST
TIME
WhenrstconnectingtotheScanner3100andawirelessconnectionhasnotbeenconguredyet,youwill
havetoconnectthroughtheEthernetporttocongurethewirelessnetworkortofurtherconguretheEther-
netnetwork.Onceconnected,youcanthenproceedtocongureeitheraWirelessAccessPointoraWire-
lessClient,orawirednetworkasaDHCPclientorDHCPserver.
TherearetwowaysinwhichtheScanner3100canbeconnectedtotheEthernetforthersttime:connect-
ing to an existing managed network, or connecting directly to the Scanner 3100 without a managed network
-“StandaloneEthernetAccess”.
Dependingonthenetworkyouareconnectingto,theScanner3100mayhavetooperateasaDHCPClient
(existingmanagednetwork)orasaDHCPServer(Stand-AloneEthernetAccess).TheScanner3100net-
work interface can be changed from the Scanner 3100 keypad.
