Connecting the Terminal to a Wireless Network
You connect the terminal to a wireless network through the on-board radio (802.11b/g, Bluetooth). Each
radio has its own configuration utility and requires specific information about the wireless network to con-
nect. Successful connection depends on your network infrastructure about which you will need specific
information from your network administrator.
WLAN (802.11b/g)
The Dolphin 6500 has a 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio. The radio is
interoperable with other 802.11 b/g, Wi-Fi compliant products including access points (APs), worksta-
tions via PC card adapters, and other wireless portable devices. By default, the 802.11b/g radio is dis-
abled after each factory reset. The next step is to configure the connection parameters of the radio to
connect to a wireless network.
WLAN Radio
The WLAN radio is configured in the Honeywell WLAN Security Supplicant, which you access by tapping
the program icon in the task tray near the bottom of the touch screen. For complete configuration instruc-
tions, download the
Honeywell Secure Wireless (SWC) Client User’s Guide
from www.honey-
wellaidc.com. A link to this guide appears on the Dolphin 6500 product page.
Adding Programs Using the Internet
When you have established a network connection, you can access the Internet and download additional
software programs.

Embedded Handheld and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping
> Settings > System > About > Version

setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors.
