• The following assumptions will be used to maximize the use of existing solutions and minimize
custom development for this product
o The firmware in the Microchip PIC processor, as provided by B&B Electronics, will
remain unchanged. If any changes are required they will be extremely limited.
o The firmware and requirements for the 802.11 module within the Comm Adapter will
remain unchanged, i.e. no changes by the supplier will be required to implement special
functionality for our system design.

3.3.1 Function: Configure Wireless settings for the WiFi Comm Adapter
3.3.1.1 Brief Description
The WiFi Comm Adapter radio module (Symbol MOM card) has a large number of
configurable settings. These settings have factory (Symbol) defaults that can be changed once it
leaves the factory.
The table below defines the Configuration that will be required for the 802.11 Card within the
Comm Adapter.
Once the card leaves the Symbol and 10G factories, then certain parameters will be field
changeable using Symbol’s OEMConfig Utility.
* The IP address programmed by Symbol from the factory is random for ‘.x.x’ based on the MAC
address
** The 10G Factory Default Settings are based on the Cat ET implementation. The above settings
need to be confirmed as the ET Development process continues. To date these are the settings that
have been determined necessary by the planned Cat ET implementation.

The customer will be required to enter the Wireless network settings during the installation of
the PCMCIA card driver and utility. Instructions will need to be provided in the kit to instruct
the user of the proper Wireless settings.
A future requirement is that Cat ET will automatically adjust the card settings (see Appendix D)
to match the Comm Adapter settings.

3.5.1.1.1 Setup
a. Cat ET Preferences – Provide “Wireless Comm Adapter” Option
3.5.1.1.3 Diagnostics
b. Equivalent to existing Comm Adapter error codes when possible
c. Detect conflicting IP addresses
d. Not able to find selected IP address
3.5.1.2.1 Description
A toolkit PC application will be developed to provide firmware update to the Communication
Adapter firmware in the WCA.
The Communication Adapter microprocessor already has flash update utility support within the
Communication Adapter Toolkit. This support will need to be integrated into the Wireless
Communication Adapter Toolkit.
3.5.1.3.1 Description
The Symbol OEMConfig Utility is used to update the settings of the Symbol MOM card that
will be in the WCA. The OEMConfig Utility will be packaged with the Cat ET installation. It
will not have a Start Menu icon, in most cases Technical Support will walk the customer
through changes that may need to be made to the card settings.
