Migrating from Spectrum24 2mbps to 11mbps
« on: July 08, 2005, 01:45:29 pm »
We have a customer that has been using RF SDK since 2000. They have 5 warehouses in different locations working with Symbol's Spectrum 24 2mbps Frequency Hopping radio communiation. Now, Symbol has descontinued the 2mbps technology and we are forced to move to Spectrum 24 11mbps Direct Sequence (Wi-Fi). The customer wants to be sure that migrating to Wi-Fi wont cause any problem. As far as I know, RF SDK and Wi-Fi should work together, but I just want to be sure before purchasing a whole new installation. Do you have any known experience?
Thanks

SDK won't care which radio is being used, but configuring the radio will need to occur outside of the RFSDK setup.  If you are using Symbol PDT's then the LAN Workplace manager from Symbol is the tool that configures the radios.  If using PSC/Percon Falcon's, then Falcon configuration utility 3.1.2 will have a radio config and drivers for you.  Then it's only a matter of placing the Sclient.exe on the device and passing the startup parameters to the AutoExec file. There is an updated version of the Sclient.exe file (version 7.0) that I have used on Falcon devices which allows RFSDK configuration to be accomplished completely through the PSC configuration tool. Transfer the radio config, the sclient.exe, and place a call in the autoexec.bat to run C:\Net\sclient.exe.  Wwhen the client starts it allows you to specify the IP address of the PC running the RF application, PDT type etc (all the command line parameters of the older sclient.exe)
