Chapter 22: The 9160 G2 As Base Station
Base Station Configuration Settings
22.4.1 Base Station Configuration Settings
Base stations communicate over the radio link using Psion Teklogix proprietary
protocols. Base stations can be connected to network controllers using TCP/IP over
Ethernet networks. As a base station communicating with terminals through a radio
link, the 9160 G2 uses the Adaptive Polling/Contention RF protocol (see ‘Radio
Protocols’ on page 220 for details on the protocols). The 9160 G2 controls the radio
link’s operation and timing. Each base station uses a different radio channel, and
terminals use cellular switching to roam between stations.
The options and parameters on the following pages allow you to configure the 9160
G2 as a master base station connected to up to 32 slave 9160 G2 base stations over
an Ethernet network. The master 9160 G2 is connected to a 9500 Network Control-
ler, or up to six hosts running the Psion Teklogix Software Development Kit. The
Base Station option under Connectivity, will enable you to add a new slave base
station to the system or change the parameters on an existing slave base station.
Pressing the Update button will save your settings.
Number of Configured Slave Base Stations
You can configure up to 32 slave 9160 G2 base stations.
Base Station Number
