L
LAN. Local area network. A radio network that supports data communication within a local area, such as within a
warehouse of building.
LED Indicator. A semiconductor diode (LED - Light Emitting Diode) used as an indicator, often in digital displays. The
semiconductor uses applied voltage to produce light of a certain frequency determined by the semiconductor's
particular chemical composition.
P
Push-to-Talk PTT. a method of communicating over wireless network using a momentary button to switch from voice
reception mode to transmit mode.
R
RAM. Random Access Memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.
Reset. A reset restarts the SB1 by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved to flash memory is lost.
Resolution. The narrowest element dimension which is distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with a
particular device or method.
RF. Radio Frequency.
Router. A device that connects networks and supports the required protocols for packet filtering. Routers are typically
used to extend the range of cabling and to organize the topology of a network into subnets. See Subnet.
S
SB1. In this text, SB1 refers to the Motorola smart badge. It can be set up to run as a stand-alone device, or it can be
set up to communicate with a network, using wireless radio technology.
Scan Area. Area intended to contain a symbol.
Scanner. An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the
bars and spaces of the symbol.
Scanning Mode. The bar code reader is energized, programmed and ready to read a bar code.
Subnet. A subset of nodes on a network that are serviced by the same router. See Router.
Subnet Mask. A 32-bit number used to separate the network and host sections of an IP address. A custom subnet mask
subdivides an IP network into smaller subsections. The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP
address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets. Default is often 255.255.255.0.
