Using the Alpha key on the 35-key Keypad

If the M7220 hand-held computer is equipped with the numeric keypad, the unit will allow alphabetic input in a mobile phone style interface.

Pressing the Alpha key once, will put the keyboard into Alpha Mode. Within Alpha Mode, a numeric key (0 – 9 or period) can be pressed and released multiple times to allow input of any of the three or four red symbols on the key. After no other key has been pressed for 200 milliseconds, the input will be processed.

For example, to type the letter 'b', the user would press the [Alpha] key ONCE, followed by the [2] key TWICE. If the user does not press any other key for 200 milliseconds, the input will be processed as a lower case letter 'b'. If the user had pressed any key other than the [2] key within the 200 milliseconds timeout, the system would have processed the 'b' and followed it with the next key. If the user had pressed the [2] key a third time within the timeout period, the input would have been processed as a lower case letter 'c'.

To input a capital letter, the user must press the [Shift] key before the [Alpha] key, or directly after the press of the [Alpha] key.

For example, to type the capital letter 'B', the user could press the [Shift] key ONCE, followed by the [Alpha] key ONCE, followed by the [2] key TWICE, or, alternatively they could press the [Alpha] key ONCE, followed by the [Shift] key ONCE, followed by the [2] key TWICE. The system will respond to either input with a capital letter 'B'.

Using Lock and Unlock on the 35-key Keypad

If the user needs to input a large amount of alphabetic data, they can temporarily enable the Alpha-Lock feature by pressing the Lock/Blue Modifier followed by the [Alpha] key. To disable Alpha-Lock, the user can press the Unlock/Yellow Modifier followed by the [Alpha] key.

The [Shift] key can be locked and unlocked in the same manner to create a CAPS lock.

Locking the Keypad

The M7220 35-key numeric keypad can also be completely disabled to prevent unwanted key presses. This is useful if the user is transporting the M7220 hand-held computer in a holster but does not wish to power off the device.

To lock the M7220 35-key Keypad, press the Lock/Blue Modifier followed by the [Esc] key. The unit will disregard any further key presses and display a warning to the user. To re-enable the keypad, press the Unlock/Yellow Modifier followed by the [Esc] key.

Data Capture and Bar Code Scanners

The M7220 hand-held computer comes standard with a laser scan engine that is capable of scanning single dimensional bar codes. Optionally, Long Range Lasers and 2-Dimensional Area Imagers can be ordered for the M7220.

Bar code symbologies are always measured in mils. This usually refers to the narrowest bar width. One mil equals 0.001”, therefore a 0.01” wide narrow bar would be a 10 mil bar code.

Conversion: 1 mil = 0.0254 mm 1 inch = 25.4 mm

Laser Style Scan Engines

Laser-type scan engines use a stationary laser reflected by a moving mirror and a highly sensitive laser detector. The Long Range and Advanced Long Range scan engines allow for a much greater distance between the symbol and operator. All laser scan engines have the ability to produce a aiming dot to assist the operator in correctly reading symbols at longer distances.

The M7220 Internal Radio

The M7220 Hand-held Terminal comes equipped with an internal 802.11b/g radio and diversity antenna. This internal radio is specifically designed to communicate with any 802.11b/g Access Point. The range of the internal radio depends greatly on the quality of the Access Point and the RF communications characteristic of the environment where the device is used. The typical range for an 802.11b/g radio is 500 feet through free air. Additional Access Points must be added to improve coverage in a larger area, or in electrically noisy RF environments.

802.11b/g Fallback Mode

Wireless LAN technology is designed to make maintaining a connection between two devices as reliable and consistent as possible. Since the speed of the connection between wireless devices will vary as range and signal quality varies, the wireless devices will intentionally sacrifice throughput (data rate or connection speed as measured in bits per second) in exchange for maintaining a reliable connection. In other words, a reliable connection at a lower speed is preferred over an unreliable connection at a higher speed (i.e., it is easier to maintain the connection if data rate is deliberately reduced, or put another way, lower data rates will tolerate a higher range and/or worse signal quality). This characteristic is known as fallback. As example, an 802.11b/g system will fallback from 11 Mbps to 5.5 Mbps as range increases or signal quality decreases. Subsequent fallbacks from 5.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps and 1 Mbps are also supported.

Interference and Coexistence

802.11b/g operates in a range of radio frequencies known as an "unlicensed" band (i.e. the FCC does NOT require the use of a license in order to operate a radio transmitter in this range). This means that commercially available radio devices other than wireless LAN devices are permitted to use the same frequency band as 802.11b/g. Consequently, these co-existing radio devices can interfere or "jam" the wireless LAN (and vice versa). Ironically, the most troublesome devices are cordless telephones and microwave ovens.

Fortunately, higher quality cordless phones tend to "listen" for a clear channel before becoming active and will thus avoid interfering with a wireless LAN (i.e., the cordless phone seeks a clear channel for itself so naturally avoids being interfered with or being a source of interference). Jamming from microwave ovens is more severe but is usually restricted to the upper frequency range for 802.11b/g (it should be noted that 802.11b/g divides the available frequency band into 11 channels. The higher numbered channels are most susceptible to microwave oven interference).

In each instance, jamming occurs only when the cordless telephone or microwave oven is active.

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Security Issues

Much has been publicized in the media about security problems with wireless LANs. It is highly recommended that WPA encryption be used and in some cases the access points should be set for MAC filtering. When an access point has MAC filtering enabled, the only devices that can communicate through them are the ones which the MAC address has been set.

The primary issue is that many current users of wireless LAN have opted NOT to turn on security features. If users were to enable the security features currently available (including only allowing known systems access to the network and enabling WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or WPA (WiFi Protected Access) encryption the intruder's work is much harder. Much as a burglar will bypass a house whose doors and windows are securely locked, so too will a hacker tend to bypass a network where security measures are enabled.

Battery

The M7220 hand-held computer uses a single battery to supply power to the entire unit. The standard

7.2 Volt, 19.2 Watt-hour battery allows the unit to run continuously for over eight hours, even in the most demanding environments.

WARNING: Use only Lithium-Ion batteries provided by American Microsystems, Ltd. The use of other batteries can result in improper charging, short circuits, fire, and explosion. The use of improper batteries will void all warranties on the M7220 hand-held computer.

NOTE: Lithium-Ion batteries and battery packs provide 300-500 charge/discharge cycles, and although they are not susceptible to “battery memory” like older Nickel-Cadmium technologies, they do loose capacity as they age. When a battery is no longer able to supply ample charge for the application it should be recycled.

The M7220 battery can be charged either through an external battery charger or from within the handheld computer when the unit is placed in the charging and communication cradle. Typical charging time will vary depending on the charging method and charger.

WARNING: M7220 Batteries should only be charged with American Microsystems, Ltd. battery chargers approved for M7220 batteries.

The M7220 hand-held computer will alert the user when the battery has reached a critical level. The unit's battery should be replaced with a fully charged M7220 battery or the unit should be placed back into the charging and communication cradle.

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Accessories

The M7220 Hand-held Terminal has available an optional charging and communications cradle. The cradle automatically charges the M7220 battery while it is resting in the cradle and the unit is turned off. The cradle also includes an extra slot to charge a spare battery. The M7220 cradle can accommodate the M7220 with or without the optional M7220 handle.

M7220 and Cradle

The ACC-5925 Cradle has three indicator lights:

When the battery charging LED is red, the battery is charging. When the battery charge LED is green the battery is fully charged. A fully discharged battery takes about 6 hours to completely recharge.

Navigating the Primary and Icon Menus

All of the primary menus, with the exception of the “Connect / Reconnect” menu and along with some of the “Administration” options, use a series of icons and graphics to allow for easy identification of the available items. Each of these items can be selected in a variety of ways to allow for easy access no matter the keyboard layout or operator preference.

Normal selection is done via the numeric keys, as each icon displays a small number on the top right of its identifying graphic. The number keys on the keyboard correspond to these numbers and can be directly pressed to access the desired function.

Number keys

Alternatively, the arrow keys can be used to move through the icons and pressing [ENTER] will activate the selected function. Once an arrow key has been pressed, an icon cursor will be visible around the currently selected graphic.

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Navigating the Settings Menus and “Connect / Reconnect”

Some menus are not well suited for icon and graphical display, either due to complexity or simply the number of required actions. These menus are displayed using a list format with an emphasis on text over graphical representation.

Like with the icon menus, there are a variety of ways to access functions within these menus. Each item in the menu displays a small number on the bottom left of the action/option. Again, this number corresponds to the keyboard's numeric keys. Pressing the desired number on the keyboard will activate the corresponding option.

Number Keys

Furthermore, the [Up] and [Down] arrow keys can be used to move through the list of options. The [Enter] key can be used to activate the highlighted option.

When a menu contains more available options or actions than can be displayed at once on the screen, a small scroll bar will appear on the right side of the menu. This scroll bar denotes the approximate location of the currently selected option within the menu.

2-5

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Scroll Bar

If the option activates a function (as from the “Connect / Reconnect” menu) or enters a deeper menu (as from the “Host Servers” menu), a small arrow will be displayed to the right of the option name.

Some settings options depend on other settings' values. When these “dependencies” are not fulfilled for an option, that option will be displayed in a lighter color and will not be available to be modified or activated. For example, within the “Wireless Security” settings, if the Encryption option is not set to “WPA/WPA2”, the WPA Type option will be grayed out, as it is not relevant in this case.

2-6

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Controlling Options and Settings

The M7220 “Administration” menu allows the user to modify the hand-held's system settings and user options. As with any PC application, the M7220 main menu system uses a series of “widgets” to allow easy setup of different types of settings (i.e. some options need to be entered as text, while others are simply a “check-box” type of item that only needs to be either enabled or disabled). The M7220 widgets are described below.

Boolean / Enable-Disable:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will alter the options setting between “Enabled” and “Disabled”.

Combo / Multiple Options:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will open a small menu and allow the selection (again via the numeric keys or the [Up]/[Down] and [Enter] keys) of multiple options. Note that some options that only have two different selections will act like the above mentioned Boolean type, but will display the options custom text as opposed to the normal “Enabled” or “Disabled”. If more selections are available than can be shown on the screen, again a scroll bar will be drawn on the right of the menu.

2-7

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Sliders / Numeric Options:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will display a screen with the option name and a numeric slider. Using the [Left]/[Right] or [Up]/[Down] keys will increase and decrease the options value. The minimum and maximum values are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Text Entry:

Pressing [Enter] while this type of option is selected or by pressing its corresponding numeric key will open a small text entry menu that will allow typing of text into the option value.

Pressing the [Esc] key or the [0] numeric key will exit any menu and return to the previously viewed screen. Note that when exiting back to the “Administration” menu, the options that were set will automatically be saved, and if any action is required, it will automatically be carried out (i.e. if the user changes the embedded HTTP server from “Disabled” to “Enabled”, the system will automatically save the new settings and start the HTTP server when leaving the “Startup/Boot Options” menu). A beep will be sounded and a small message will be displayed briefly to signify that the settings were correctly saved.

M7220 Connect / Reconnect Menu

When the M7220 first powers up, the unit will automatically attempt to connect to the host server. If more than one host connection is configured, the user will be prompted with the Connect menu, allowing them to select which server to connect to. If exactly two host connections have been configured, the “Connect to Both” option will be available.

M7220 Administration Menu

The M7220 Administration menu houses all of the system's operating parameters, and from this menu, the entire system can be modified for use. Since the M7220 contains hundreds of customizable options, each parameter is categorized into one of nine major groups, and some into smaller sub-sections. This allows each setting to be modified in a quickly and easily.

2-14

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

The nine major settings groups are:

1) Scanner Options

The Scanner Options group contains all aspects of the bar code decoder and data capture device. Within this menu are five sub groups: Trigger, Feedback, Codes (Symbologies), Editing, and General Setup.

The Trigger options give control over the aiming dot and laser timers, as well as the trigger's mode. These options are usually set up to the user's personal preference and they have no affect on the actual data that is collected via the scanner.

The Feedback settings allow modification to the audio beeps that sound during bar code scanning. Changes can be made to the pitch, length, and count of the beeps that sound when a good and/or bad bar code read is completed.

Symbology control and settings are modified from the Codes section. This section also contains many subsections, depending on the scan engine that is installed in the M7220. For laser bar code readers, the menu will contain all symbologies that the scan engine can decode, and allow for changes to many aspects of the data. With the 2-Dimensional Imager installed, the symbologies are divided once again into further sections of Linear, Postal, 2-D, and OCR fonts.

The Editing section give control over customizing the data collected after it has been scanned. Example options include stripping leading and trailing characters and adding prefixes and suffixes. Bar code editing can be done on a global scale where all bar codes are affected, or it can be done on a symbology type basis. Up to four custom symbology type edits can be made on the M7220, along with a global edit.

General Setup gives control over global termination characters appended to the bar code data, along with some scan engine specific settings like LED illumination with the 2-D Imager.

2-15

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

2) Network Setup

3) Port Options

The M7220 contains two different user accessible ports: USB Slave (Type-B) and RS-232 serial.

4) Security Options

The M7220 allows for two different types of password protection. A power-up (boot) password requires that the user enter a password to initialize the M7220 for use.

The Settings Password, if enabled, requires the user to enter a password to authorize changes in the settings. It is always a good idea to enable a Settings Password to prevent users from modifying the unit's settings.

2-16

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

*NOTE: If a Settings Password is set, the M7220's embedded website password will also be changed to this password. If no Settings Password is set, then the embedded website password defaults to 'aml'.

Once the user enters the Settings Password, they will not be asked again for it until completely exiting the Administration menu.

5) Power Options

The M7220 has advanced power management features that enable fine tuning of the battery usage. The unit has an advanced sleep/suspend mode that can be tailored to any specific situation. Even in sleep mode, the M7220 can leave the internal 802.11b/g radio on to keep the association with the access point.

6) Keyboard Options

The M7220 has the ability to globally customize the function keys on the keyboard. These modifications are to the actual Linux kernel keyboard mapping, giving a huge amount of control over the keys. See the Keyboard Option Parameters table for information on customizing these keys.

7) Terminal Emulation and Host Connection Options

2-17

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

The M7220 comes standard with a VT100/VT220 interpretor, a TN5250 emulator, a standards compliant web browser, an AML CommandLink interpretor (AMLterm), and an SSH client. Any of these applications/emulators can be used to connect to remote network servers through the Connect / Reconnect menu. From here in the Terminal Options menu, this connection menu can be set up.

Each different application has its own set of options and parameters that are accessible through options four through eight. Their parameters are defined below in the Host / Terminal Setup table.

*NOTE: For information on using the SSH client, see the SSH Client Setup section of this manual.

Setting up a new connection is done through the Hosts sub-menu. It will present a list of connections (up to eight connections can be defined) that can be modified to suit the installation's needs. Selecting one of the eight host connections will display the host options including IP address, Application / Terminal to use for the connection, and other connection specific parameters that may differ between host servers. If the Terminal is set to any option other than Disabled, it will be visible on the Connect / Reconnect menu.

8) Audio Options

The audio options allows control of the global system sound (including all bar code feedback beeps, all warning beeps, and all keyboard ticks), along with the ability to modify the sound emitted when the keyboard is in use.

9) Startup / Boot Options

The Startup options give control over the system's services and servers that will be started on boot. They include a standard TELNET server, SSH / SFTP server, FTP server, embedded HTTP server, and the bar code scanner manager.

It is highly recommended that the TELNET and FTP server be left disabled and encrypted SSH and SFTP be used in their place.

For the TELNET, SSH / SFTP, and FTP server, the default username is 'root' and the password is 'aml'.

The embedded HTTP server can be used to view the M7220 system status and logs, update the firmware, and upload settings files. Furthermore, it has the ability to display a live image of what the operator is currently viewing on the screen.

If the unit's security settings have the Settings Password enabled, it will be used as the password to access the embedded HTTP server's page. If the Settings Password is not enabled, the default HTTP password of 'aml' will be used.

For more information on the HTTP server and the HTML pages can be found in the M7220 Embedded Website section.

Using the Utility

When first executed, the M7220 Configuration Utility will display the Welcome tab with three configuration paths:

-Retrieve current settings from your M7220

-Load settings from a file on your PC

-Start from default settings

USER’S GUIDE M7220 Wireless Hand-held Terminal

Using the Utility - cont’d.

Retrieving Settings From an M7220

Selecting the Retrieve path from the Welcome screen allows the operator to transfer the current device settings on an M7220 hand-held computer to the PC. This allows for “cloning” devices or to simply modify parameters and settings without using the M7220 menu system. At any time during configuration, the operator can access the retrieve tab from the Communications drop-down menu at the top of the window.

*NOTE: When cloning devices, the administrator should take care to change the IP address in the configuration when using static addressing. Network communication problems can result from having more than one device using the same IP address.

The user should follow the steps on the screen to transfer the files from the M7220 to the PC. The Advanced button allows for configuration of the serial port if USB is not available. The preferred method of communication with the M7220 is through a USB root device (i.e. directly into the PC, not through a USB hub).

The first time an M7220 unit is connected to the PC, the Windows Hardware Wizard will be displayed. When prompted, the user should point the Wizard to the M7220 product CD for the hardware drivers.

*NOTE: If an RS-232 serial port is being used for communication, the operator must make sure that both the M7220 and PC port settings match EXACTLY. The ports can be configured from the Communication drop down menu by selecting Configure PC Ports.

Sending Settings to an M7220

The currently loaded settings parameters can be sent to an M7220 hand-held computer by selecting Send from the Communications drop-down menu. The transfer will start instantly. The M7220 unit should be connected to the PC and in receive mode in the Transfer utility before initiating the transfer.

The first time an M7220 unit is connected to the PC, the Windows Hardware Wizard will be displayed. When prompted, the user should point the Wizard to the M7220 product CD for the hardware drivers.

Sending Other Files to an M7220

Any file can be sent to an M7220 unit using the utility by selecting Open from the File drop-down menu. If the file selected is neither a .settings nor .txt file, the utility will automatically start the file transfer. The M7220 unit should be connected to the PC and in receive mode in the Transfer utility before initiating the transfer.

Any file sent to the device should be in the M7220's required format. The file should be a standard ZIP file containing the documents the user wishes to transfer, along with an 'autorun.sh' text file. Once received, the M7220 will decompress the ZIP file and attempt to execute the 'autorun.sh' document as a Linux shell script.

Updating the M7220 Operating System Firmware

The M7220 Configuration Utility can also be used to update the hand-held's firmware, however the preferred method of updating the firmware is through the unit's embedded website. Firmware images can be downloaded from the American Microsystems, Ltd. Website at www.amltd.com.

*NOTE: This type of firmware update should be used only as a last resort. The preferred method of updating the units software is through the embedded web site. Information on the firmware update via the we site can be found in the M7220 Embedded Website section of this manual.

To enter firmware update mode, the device should be powered off. With the operator holding down the [Menu], [Space], and [Shift] keys, the unit should be powered on. Once the M7220 splash screen is visible on the LCD, the keys should be released. The unit will power up into a fail-safe firmware update mode. The firmware can then be transferred to the device.
