Intermec MaxiScan 2100 User manual

Intermec’s MobileLAN™access family of access points delivers reliable and seamless wireless performance to almost any operational environment. The MobileLAN access 2100 is designed for standards-based connectivity and it may have up to two of the following radios installed:
•IEEE 802.11b •WLI Forum OpenAir •902 MHz •S-UHF
The 2100 with an IEEE 802.11b radio installed is Wi-Fi certified for interoperability with other 802.11b wireless LAN devices.
This quick start guide helps you to understand the 2100 ports and LEDs. You can also use this quick start guide to learn how to install the 2100, how to connect the 2100 to power and to your network, and how to use the MobileLAN access Utility to configure its IP address. Once you assign the 2100 an IP address, you can continue configuring it using a Web browser interface or a Telnet session.
