Abstract
The method provides for a way to ensure that the application program running on the host computer handles data received from the at least one mobile computer terminals when one of the mobile computer terminals goes out of range of the wireless network. Communication and association may be established between a mobile computer terminal and an access point on a local network. Then, when it has been determined that communications between the mobile computer terminal and the access point have been impeded, the mobile computer terminal may switch to batch mode to continue data collection.
