Bluetooth Networking Overview
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled devic-
es must establish a connection. Bluetooth software is always
running in the background, ready to respond to connection
requests. One device (known as the master) must request a
connection with another. The second device (the slave) then
accepts or rejects the connection. Bluetooth enabled Cameo
printers act as a slaves. The resulting small network of up to
seven Bluetooth enabled devices is sometimes referred to as
a “piconet”.
Each Bluetooth enabled Cameo printer has a unique
Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into its radio module
when manufactured. For the most part, communications us-
ing the Bluetooth protocol are initiated and processed without
any operator intervention, much like the IrDA system de-
scribed previously.
WLAN Overview
Cameo printers, when equipped with the 802.11b WLAN ra-
dio option, allow wireless communication as a node within a
local area network (LAN). This option allows communication
from any point within the LAN’s perimeter. Methods of estab-
lishing communications to the printer will vary with each LAN
application.
More detailed information on establishing WLAN commu-
nications can be found in either the ”CPCL Programmers
Manual” or the “Quick Start Guide for Mobile Wireless
Printers” both available on-line at www.zebra.com.
More information and LAN configuration utilities may also
be found in Zebra’s Label Vista™ program (version 2.8 and lat-
er). Label Vista may be downloaded from the Zebra Web site.
