Access Point Functions
Note: For the ‘NB only’ case, the web page may show the configuration page
for a single 802.11 radio. You can disregard it, however, if you should
attempt to configure this non-existent radio, this will not cause problems
in the 9160 G2.

1.4.2 Access Point Functions
As an access point connected to a wired network, the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway
forms a communication link between Psion Teklogix RF terminals or wireless
access point clients and a Psion Teklogix Network Controller or a host computer. It
communicates over an IEEE 802.11 RF data link with terminals, and over a cable
with the network controller or a host computer. The 9160 G2 can be connected to
the network through an Ethernet connection.
1.4.3 Base Station Functions
As a base station or Remote Radio Module (RRM), the 9160 G2 provides a link
between the local area network and wireless mobile terminals using proprietary
Psion Teklogix radio protocols. On the local area network the 9160 G2 base station
(or RRM) communicates with a 9500 network controller (or host using a Psion Tek-
logix Software Development Kit) using the proprietary 9010 protocol over TCP/IP.
For information on configuring the 9160 G2 as a base station or RRM, see Chapter
22: “The 9160 G2 As Base Station”.
