Problem connecting Motorola MC55 Handheld-Help!
Hi Gang,
I have a pre-gigabit AirPort Extreme with only one minor issue. My wife's Motorola MC55 handheld computer/barcode scanner will not work when plugged into the AEBS. This device transmits and receives data from a data center over the Internet or telephone. The latter works fine. When I connect the MC55 to my AEBS the "test" screen says it is connected, but when I hit the xmit button, it sits for a long time then gives me a communications error message.
This device is like a gaming machine in that you simply plug it in and it works. I tried it at two friends' homes and it worked find. One is a Motorola router/modem combo and the other a FiOS setup with an ActionTec router.
It would seem that a default host could be set up but the MC55 is locked so I don't know what IP to key into the AEBS software. I've gone through every setting in the software and no luck. The MC55 will not communicate over Ethernet/LAN/Internet.
A level 3 tech from TWC tried to help but was not familiar enough with the AEBS to really get anywhere.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Mark
