The “Using the Menu System to Configure the Terminal” section on 
page 20 explains how to use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu 
System. Use the menu system to set: 

•  Time and Date. 

•  Network Activate (Ethernet). Make sure that 2.4 GHz RF (OpenAir 

radio) or 802.11 DS (802.11b radio) appears in the Activate field. If 
you are using the WTP network, you only need to configure the 
Network Activate parameter.  

•  Controller IP Address (UDP Plus) or Host IP Address (TCP/IP). 

• Network Port

. 

•  (TCP/IP or UDP Plus) Terminal IP Address. If you are using a 

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), you can leave the 
default terminal IP address as 0.0.0.0 to enable the 248X as a DHCP 
client.

Default Router. 

•  (Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X or host on different subnetwork)

If you are running a TE 2000 terminal emulation application, you  
may need to change the configuration. For help, see “Choosing Your 
TE 2000 Application” on page 21. 

The 2485/6 terminal can communicate with a host computer in the RF 
network either through the Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X, or directly 
through the access points. Each 2485/6 ships with only one of these RF 
network protocol options to communicate with other devices: UDP Plus, 
WTP, or TCP/IP.
