WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS
INTRODUCTION
The MS860G WiFi is designed to connect to your
computer(s) via the existing wireless network through one
of its Access Points (APs), thereby eliminating the
dedicated wireless receiving unit required by other types of
wireless scanners.
Integrating the MS860G into the wireless network is the
same as integrating any other piece of wireless hardware,
requiring that you give it its own unique IP address, which
can be obtained from your network administrator. The
MS860G WiFi’s default settings and explanations are
shown below and described on the following pages.

settings are provided merely as a starting point.
How the MS860G WiFi actually works:
Scanners normally communicate directly with host computers
via keyboard or RS232 interface. The MS860G WiFi instead
communicates over your wireless network with the nearest
Access Point (AP), which then communicates with the host
computer. The host computer uses the VCOM utility to convert
the WiFi signal to a Virtual Com Port (RS232) signal, which the
host computer recognizes as one of the standard scanner
interfaces.
