Glossary

Numeric

802.11/802.11abg. A radio protocol that may be used by the Symbol radio card.

Access Point. Access Point (AP) refers to Symbol’s Ethernet Access Point. It is a piece of communications equipment that

manages communications between the host computer system and one or more wireless terminals. An AP connects to

a wired Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet wired network and IEEE 802.11 interoperable

radio-equipped mobile units, such as a mobile computer. The AP allows a mobile user to roam freely through a facility

while maintaining a seamless connection to the wired network.

AirBEAM

Manager. AirBEAM

Manager is a comprehensive wireless network management system that provides

essential functions that are required to configure, monitor, upgrade and troubleshoot the

wireless network and its

components (including networked mobile computers). Some features include event notification, access point

configuration, diagnostics, statistical reports, auto-discovery, wireless proxy agents and monitoring of access points and

mobile units.

AirBEAM

Smart Client. AirBEAM® Smart Client is part of Symbol’s AirBEAM® suite, which also includes AirBEAM® Safe

and AirBEAM® Manager. The AirBEAM® Smart Client system uses the network accessible host server to store software

files that are to be downloaded to the mobile computers. The AirBEAM® Smart Client provides the mobile computers

with the “smarts” to request software from the host. It allows them to request, download and install software, as well as

to upload files and status data. The AirBEAM® Smart Client uses the industry standard FTP or TFTP file transfer

protocols to check the host system for updates, and if necessary, to transfer updated software. Most often, AirBEAM®

Smart Client is used with wireless networks, but any TCP/IP connection can be used. For more information, refer to the

AirBEAM® Smart Windows® CE Client Product Reference Guide (p/n 72-63060-xx).
