EZConfig

Overview

EZConfig is a suite of products that configures Dolphin terminals quickly and efficiently. With the tools in
the EZConfig suite, you can package data on the workstation, then deploy and unpackage that data on
the Dolphin terminal.

Components

There are two main components: EZConfig Editor and EZConfig Client.

EZConfig Editor

Edits and creates configuration and registry documents in the EXM file format for Dolphin terminals. There
are two versions of EZConfig Editor: one for the workstation and one for the terminal.

Both editors:

• Create and modify EXM files–Working with Open EXM Files (see page 2-7)

• Convert INI files to EXM files–Converting Known INI and MNU Files (see page 2-25)

In addition, EZConfig Editor on the workstation

• Generates bar codes from EXM files–Creating Bar Codes (see page 2-19)

For details about the workstation editor, see EZConfig Editor on page 2-2.
For details about the terminal editor, see EZConfig Editor on the Terminal on page 2-27.

EZConfig Client

Decodes the bar codes generated by EZConfig Editor on the workstation.

For details, see EZConfig Client on page 2-31.

Upgrades

EZConfig Editor on the workstation must be installed on the workstation separately from the Power Tools
upgrade. Obtain the Honeywell EZConfig Editor Setup rXX.exe from www.honeywellaidc.com and
install the EXE on the workstation.

All components on the terminal–the EZConfig Editor and EZConfig Client–are installed during Power
Tools and Demos upgrades. For more information, see Upgrading Power Tools on page 1-6.

2 - 1

EZConfig Editor

EZConfig Editor creates, edits, and manages EXM files for Dolphin terminals. There is an EZConfig Editor
on the workstation and an EZConfig Editor on the terminal. In the workstation editor, EXM files are edited,
saved, then transferred to the terminal. In the terminal editor, EXM files are edited and saved right on the
terminal; see EZConfig Editor on the Terminal (page 2-27).

EXM Files

The EXM file format is an XML format customized for Dolphin terminals that are comprised of sections
that sometimes contain child sections and keys. Keys contain the values that configure the terminal.

The EXM file format supports a multi-level, hierarchical, tree structure. The terminal reads the highest
level section first and then reads the key values in each section.

EXM files replace INI files for Power Tools and terminal configuration settings. If both an INI file and an
EXM file are present for the same application, the terminal defaults to the EXM file and a warning
message appears at startup. Remove the INI file from the terminal to avoid this warning message.

Types of Configuration Files

There are two types of configuration files in the EXM file format:

Configuration documents Program and configure the terminal; see Opening EXM Files on page 2-6.

Registry documents Update and modify the registry; see Registry Documents (page 2-16).

Sample EXM Files

After you install the new build on the workstation, default EXM files are stored in the C:\Program
Files\Honeywell\Power Tools and Demos for WM 5.0\EZConfig EXM Files folder.

Use these files as templates to create new EXM files.

• Disabled sections and keys

• Descriptions

• Bar code settings

When you create a bar code, you can simplify the file embedded in the bar code without
affecting the open EXM file. This reduces the size of the bar code package yet keeps the
disabled sections, descriptions, and bar code settings in the open EXM file for future
reference.
For more information, see Simplified (page 2-21) on the Advanced Tab (see page 2-21).

If the open EXM file is associated with an application on the terminal, this item is active
and launches the associated application on the terminal.

Note: You would use this option after saving the EXM file to the terminal; see Save to

Device As on page 2-3.

format. For more details, see Converting Known INI and MNU Files on page 2-25.

Note: Does not apply to the 6100/6500.

Opening EXM Files

EZConfig Editor opens EXM files stored on the workstation or the terminal (if an ActiveSync connection
is established).

Opening EXM Files on the Workstation

Click File > Open or the Open toolbar button and select the EXM file.

When you select a known MNU or INI file, EZConfig Editor prompts you to convert the file. When you
select Yes, EZConfig Editor imports the file and converts it to the EXM file format. Then, you can click
File > Save As to save the file with the EXM extension.

You cannot save known INI or MNU files in their original format. For a list of known files, see Known INI

and MNU Files on page 2-25.

The preferred conversion method is to use the batch conversion tool and then make your edits to the new
EXM files. For details, see Converting Known INI and MNU Files on page 2-25.

Opening Remote EXM Files

The workstation and the terminal must be connected via ActiveSync!

EZConfig Editor can open EXM files located on the terminal so that you can make edits to the terminal’s
configuration real-time.

When the terminal and workstation are connected by ActiveSync, click File > Open From Device and the
remote open window opens. (\Honeywell for 6100/6500)

To open, double-tap on a file or select it and click OK.

Note: You can also open EXM files in the editor on the terminal; see EZConfig Editor on the Terminal (page 2-27).

Disable All Sections are enabled by default. This menu item disables sections and all of its keys.

Disabled sections remain in the file with a gray folder .

If you disable a section that has child sections, all of its child sections (and the child section
keys) are disabled automatically. The child section folders are also in gray.

When reading the EXM file, the terminal behaves as though disabled sections are not there
and moves on to read the next enabled section.

Disabled sections can be removed from the EXM file permanently using the Simplify

Document (see page 2-5) option. If you want to keep disabled sections in the EXM file on

the workstation but not in the file deployed to the terminal, use the Simplified option (see
page 2-21) when creating the bar code.

Insert Section This menu item inserts a new section. You can also press the Insert key (INS).

Append Child Section This menu item adds a new child section to a selected section. The new child section is

inserted below the previous section.

Modifying Section Names

To change a section name, double-click on the folder and type in the new name or select Rename on the
Edit menu. Type in the new name and press ENTER.

Note: You cannot modify the name if the section is locked or disabled; see Section Locks (page 2-9).

Modifying Section Descriptions

Descriptions are not required to process key values but do help document the EXM file and often contain
valuable information. If you want to modify a section description, select the section, click inside the section
description, and begin typing. You cannot modify descriptions of locked sections.

Moving Sections

To move sections within an EXM file, use the drag and drop method. By default, sections are dropped at
the same level in the tree.

For additional functionality when dragging and dropping, press and hold:

• ALT to drop a section as a child section.

• CTRL to copy a section and drop the copy at the same level in the tree.

• CTRL + ALT to copy a section and drop the copy as a child section.

Note: You can select only one section at a time; you cannot use SHIFT+Click or CTRL+Click to select more than

one section.

To move sections between EXM files, open two instances of EZConfig Editor and drag and drop sections
between them. When dragging, a copy of the section is dragged to the new file. When dropping, drop the
section directly on top of the section you want it to be a child section of.

Note: To drop the first section into a new file, press and hold the ALT key and drop the section on the root node. (All

sections must be child sections of the root node.)

Section-Level Merge Modes

EXM files ship with section-level merge modes already defined according to section content. Merge
modes determine how section information is handled when an updated EXM file is deployed to the
terminal where an existing version of that EXM file is stored.

Merge modes are indicated by folder icons and in the Status bar.

Mode Description Merge Effect

Delete + Add Deletes non-common children elements (i.e., subsections, and keys) in

the target file, then adds the new information from the bar code.
Basically, the new section replaces the old section.
This is the default merge mode for new sections.

Working with Keys

The same options
appear on both
menus.

Keys have a Name, a Description, and a Value and reside inside sections. For specific key values, consult
the chapters of this user’s guide that describe the EXM file you’re attempting to edit.

Edit Menu Options

Select a key and right-click or click Edit to see the available options.

Rename Activates the key name so that you can rename the key.

Note: Rename is disabled if the key is locked or disabled; see Key Types (page 2-13).

Cut Cuts a selected key.

Copy Copies a selected key.

Paste Disabled; keys can be pasted only as children of a section.

Paste as Child Pastes the key just cut or copied in the selected section. Keys are not multi-level; all keys

paste at the same level within a section.

Note: You can cut, copy and paste keys within an EXM file or across EXM files.

Delete Deletes a selected key.

Note: You cannot undo a delete; you might want to consider disabling rather than deleting.

Enable Enables keys that were disabled. When a key is enabled, the client application can read

and apply its value. When you enable a key, make sure to specify a value for that key; do
not leave it blank.

Note: To enable a key, its parent section must be enabled.

Disable Disables keys. Enabled keys have key values in blue. Disabled keys have key values in

black.

The terminal does not read disabled keys and disabled keys are removed if the file is
simplified; see Simplify Document (page 2-5).

Because many key values are 1 for enable and 0 for disable, remember that disabling
a key means that the terminal behaves as if the key is not there when reading the file,
NOT that the key’s value is set to disabled. The terminal simply moves on to read the
next enabled key.

Insert New Key This menu item inserts a new key above the selected key.

Note: You can also press the Insert key (INS).

Save is disabled so that you save the document with a name other than “NewDocument.exm.”

2 - 14

Associating Applications

The Properties function associates an EXM file with an application on the terminal. The associated
application launches after EZConfig Client decodes the bar code containing the EXM file. For more
information, see Creating Bar Codes on page 2-19.

While the EXM file is open, click File > Properties or the Document Properties toolbar button .

Field Description

Path Enter the location of the EXE on the terminal.

Arguments Enter the command line argument you want applied when the application launches.

When an application is entered in the Path field, the following command line appears as
the argument:

/exm %filename.

Enter additional command line arguments (see Command Line Arguments on page 2-

34) next to /exm %filename in this field.

“%filename” means that the value immediately after the “%” is variable and the file name
will be replaced with the remote path entered on the Bar Codes tab; for more information,
see Remote Path on page 2-20.

Execute Tells EZConfig Client to launch the application after decoding the bar code. Execute

selects automatically when an application is entered in the Path field.

You cannot de-select Execute for configuration documents.

You can de-select Execute for registry documents; however, EZConfig Client cannot
update the registry unless Execute is selected. For more information, see Default

Application Association (page 2-16).

Registry Documents

EZConfig Editor creates registry documents in the EXM file format and also opens existing REG files and
converts them to the EXM file format. EZConfig Editor cannot save registry documents in the REG file
format.

Updating the Registry on the Terminal

To update the terminal’s registry, you must

• Create an EXM file that is a registry document–Creating Registry Documents (page 2-16),

• Create a bar code package from that EXM file–Creating Bar Codes (page 2-19), and

• Scan the bar code with the terminal

By default, EZConfig Client on the terminal updates the Windows registry immediately after decoding the
bar code.

Default Application Association

By default, registry documents are associated with EZConfig Client. While a registry document is open,
click File > Properties.

Execute must remain selected for EZConfig Client to update the registry after decoding the bar code. If
Execute is not selected, the registry document is deployed after decoding but the registry is not updated.

Creating Registry Documents

1. In EZConfig Editor, click File > New > Registry Document.

2 - 16

The new document contains the three top-level sections in a registry. These sections are locked and cannot be
changed. You can add subsections to each section and then add keys to those subsections.

2. Click File > Save As.

3. Choose the name and location and click Save.
You cannot save the document as a .reg file; you must save it as an EXM file.

4. To add sections, select one of the registry levels, right-click, and select Append Child Section.
Enter the section information, and click OK.

For more information about adding sections, see Working with Sections on page 2-7.

5. To add keys to the new section, select the section, and right-click in the key value area.

Editor window when the key is selected.

2 - 17

When you click OK to save the key, the data appears in columns in the key area of the EZConfig Editor
window.

Processing Registry Documents on the Terminal

After EZConfig Client updates the registry, the EXM file itself is deployed to the location entered in the

Remote Path (page 2-20) field on the Bar Codes Tab (page 2-20).

Note: EXM files appear with an icon on terminal windows.

If you do not want to store the registry EXM file on the terminal after updating the registry, select the

Temporary (page 2-22) option on the Bar Codes Tab (page 2-20).

Persistent Registry Documents

Creating Bar Codes

EZConfig Editor embeds EXM files in bar codes. The EZConfig Client on the terminal decodes the bar
code and deploys the data. Using bar codes quickly and easily configures Dolphin terminals without an
IrDA, ActiveSync, or network connection to a workstation.

Document Types

EZConfig Editor produces two kinds of EXM files: configuration documents and registry documents. Both
can be embedded in bar codes and processed by EZConfig Client on the terminal.

Configuration Documents

EZConfig Client deploys the EXM file in the terminal. If an EXM file is associated with an
application, EZConfig Client deploys the data to that application for processing; see

Associating Applications on page 2-15.

Note: The DeviceConfig.exm file must be associated with DeviceConfig.exe to be

processed appropriately on the terminal.

Registry Documents EZConfig Client updates the registry immediately without launching another application.

Bar Code Type

EZConfig Editor creates an Aztec bar code; for example, .

Time and Date Stamp

EXM files are stamped with the time and date the moment EZConfig Editor creates the barcode.

Bar Code Size and Number

The amount of data in the EXM file determines how many bar codes are generated and the physical size
of each bar code. More data means more bar codes and larger bar codes.

EZConfig Editor offers four ways to control how many bar codes are produced and adjust the size of each
bar code:

1. Set byte size limits on how much data each bar code can contain—see Max Barcode Size on page

2-22.

2. Split the data across a specified number of bar codes—see # Bar codes to generate on page 2-21.

3. Simplify the EXM file in the bar code—see Simplified on page 2-21.

4. Scale the bar codes on the bar code sheet—see Bar Code Scaling Factor on page 2-23.

Bar Code Sheet

EZConfig Editor produces a bar code sheet that contains the generated bar codes. Bar code sheets can
be printed from a laser printer, copied to the clipboard, and saved as an HTML file; see Printing and

Saving Options on page 2-23.

In addition, individual bar codes can be saved as .tif or .png graphic files that can then be emailed and
printed; see Bar Codes Tab on page 2-20.

2 - 19

Generating Bar Codes

When creating a bar code, EZConfig Editor automatically encrypts and compresses the data in the EXM
file. To generate a bar code, click File > Create EZConfig Bar Code OR the Create Bar Code toolbar

button while the EXM file is open. EZConfig Editor generates a bar code or codes. The Bar Codes tab
window opens displaying the details of the bar code package generated.

The Bar Codes and Advanced tabs offers several processing options.

Note: The number of bar codes produced depends on the amount of data present in the EXM file. The more data

present, the more bar codes generated. You must scan all bar codes to deploy the package!

Bar Codes Tab

The Bar Codes tab previews and customizes generated bar code(s).

Field/Option Description

EZConfig Editor contains a batch conversion tool that converts known INI files on the terminal to the new
EXM file format.

EZConfig Editor pulls INI files from the

\IPSM folder of a remote device, converts them to the EXM file

format, and saves both original INI files and the converted EXM files in folders created on the workstation.
You don’t lose your original INI files in the conversion.

Note: You must have an ActiveSync connection between the workstation and the device to use this tool.

Known INI and MNU Files

•*Autorun.ini

•RASMan.ini

• Scanwedge.ini

• RFSettings.ini

• ImageDemo.ini

• ScanDemo.ini

• *Any EZMenu file (*.ini or *.mnu)
*These files must be converted using this tool to run properly on Dolphin terminals.

X.

The X increases by one each time you run a batch conversion.

4. When you click OK, the conversion runs.

5. EZConfig Editor creates two folders inside the Upgrade X folder: Converted EXMs and Original
INIs.

Note: An Upgrade X folder with these two subfolders is created every time you run a conversion. Upgrades do not

save over each other.

6. Check each converted EXM file in EZConfig Editor.

Note: Even though conversion is complete, you have not yet upgraded your terminal! The old INI files remain in their

original location on the terminal.

Upgrading Dolphin Terminals

Once you approve of the converted EXM files, you must transfer them to the Dolphin terminals manually.

1. Delete the old INI files stored in the terminal.

2. Follow the steps for installing an upgrade on a Dolphin terminal (see Installing an Upgrade on the

Terminal on page 1-9) but don’t cold boot yet.

Note: You want to install an upgrade to make sure that you have the latest versions of AutoInstall.exe, Autorun.exe,

and EZConfig Editor on the terminal.

3. Transfer the new converted EXM files to the terminal and say yes when you are asked to replace the
existing files.

4. Cold boot the terminal. The new, converted EXM files install during AutoInstall.

Launching Associated Applications

The Tools menu contains an item named Launch Associated App.

Launch Associated App is enabled only when there is an application associated with the EXM file.

Selecting this item automatically saves the open EXM file and launches the associated application while
the EXM file remains open.

To see the associated application, tap File > Properties.

The Path field contains the launch location of the application.
The Args field contains any command line arguments to execute when the application launches.

For more information about associating applications, see Associating Applications on page 2-15.

Example 1 - You’ve saved changes to an open DeviceConfig.exm file.

To apply those changes immediately, tap Tools > Launch Associated App. Because the
DeviceConfig.exm file is associated with DeviceConfig.exe by default, DeviceConfig launches and
applies the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file.

Example 2 - You’ve saved changes to an open registry document.
Because registry documents are always associated with EZConfig Client, tapping Tools > Launch

Associated App updates the registry. EZConfig Client always updates the registry when launched from

an EXM file that is a registry document.

Example 3 - You’ve saved changes to an open ScanWedge.exm file.

And that ScanWedge.exm file has the following parameters as the associated application:

Path: \program files\power tools\scanwedge.exe

Args: /restart

Tapping Tools > Launch Associated App refreshes ScanWedge with the new settings.

EZConfig Client

EZConfig Client decodes bar codes created in EZConfig Editor and deploys the data in the terminal. In
addition, if the EXM file in the bar code is associated with an application, EZConfig Client launches that
application, which then processes the decoded data.

EZConfig Client decodes bar codes with 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.

Storage Location

The EZConfig Client executable is stored in the \IPSM (\Honeywell for 6100/6500) folder.

For upgrades, EZConfig Client is located in the IPSM
workstation. This EXE must be copied and pasted into the \IPSM
the terminal. For more information, see Installing an Upgrade on the Terminal on page 1-9.

Using EZConfig Client

1. On the Dolphin terminal, tap Start > Power Tools. The Dolphin Power Tools Main Window (see
page 1-2) opens.
You can scan the first bar code from the Power Tools main window by pressing the SCAN key; see
page 2-34 for details.
EZConfig Client can also be launched with a HotKey from any window; see page 2-34 for details.

2. Tap EZConfig Utilities > EZConfig Editor . The EZConfig Client window opens.

3. Point the terminal at the first EZConfig Editor bar code, then press the SCAN key.

4. EZConfig Client decodes the bar code.

2 - 31

If there is only one bar code in the package, EZConfig Client deploys the package.

If there is more than one bar code in the package, EZConfig Client decodes the bar code, records that one bar
code has been read, and waits for the next scan.

5. Scan all the bar codes in the package. Bar codes can be scanned in any order.

6. When all bar codes in the package have been scanned, the EZConfig client deploys the data.

Note: If the EXM file is programmed to launch an application such as ScanWedge, a window pops up informing you

of initialization.

2 - 32

EXM File Processing

After decoding, EZConfig Client saves EXM files to the location in the terminal selected in the Remote

Path (page 2-20) field on the Bar Codes Tab (page 2-20). (If the Temporary, page 2-22, option is selected

in the bar code, EZConfig Client does not save the EXM file.)

There are two types of EXM files: configuration documents and registry documents. EZConfig Client
processes each type of file differently.

Configuration Documents

If the EXM file was associated with an application, EZConfig Client launches and deploys
the data to that application for processing.

Note: DeviceConfig.exm

the terminal appropriately. After decoding the bar code, EZConfig Client deploys the
data to DeviceConfig.exe, which applies the settings to the terminal.

must

be associated with DeviceConfig.exe to be processed on

Registry DocumentsRegistry documents are always associated with EZConfig Client. The Execute option

(Execute, page 2-15) determines whether the registry is updated or not. If Execute is
selected, EZConfig Client updates the registry immediately after decoding the bar code.

Multiple Bar Codes

Some EXM files generate more than one bar code. If multiple bar codes were generated, EZConfig Client
recognizes that there is more than one bar code in the package and tracks each bar code scanned and
decoded. Bar codes can be scanned in any order, but EZConfig Client does not deploy the data until all
the bar codes in the package have been scanned.

EZConfig Client Window

Field Description

Package ID This is the ID of the entire package.

EZConfig Editor assigns an ID to bar code packages when creating the bar code.

Status This field displays the decode status of the bar codes scanned so far.

If there is more than one bar code in the package, this field acts as a decode
counter.
The Status field displays:

• How many bar codes have been scanned and

• How many bar codes are in the package

Read # box This box displays the list of bar codes scanned and decoded.

Accept Unsecure This option allows EZConfig Client to scan bar codes that are not encrypted.

Note: By default, all bar codes created in EZConfig Editor are encrypted.

2 - 33

Scanning Bar Codes Directly from the Power Tools Main Window

When the Power Tools or Demos main windows are open, press the SCAN key and:

• If there is only one bar code in the package, EZConfig Client decodes and deploys the bar code without

opening the EZConfig Client window.

• If there are multiple bar codes in the package, EZConfig Client decodes the first bar code and opens

the EZConfig Client window showing that one bar code in the package has been scanned.

Launching EZConfig Client with a HotKey

Pressing ALT + SCAN launches EZConfig Client from any application window after you activate the
HotKeys Power Tool; see HotKeys on page 6-5.

ScanWedge

Bar code decoding in EZConfig Client is compatible with ScanWedge. You can set ScanWedge to pass
bar code information to EZConfig Client for further processing. For details, see Accept EZConfig on page

5-4.

Command Line Arguments

/%filename Executes the EXM file; this is the default entry.

/q Quiet mode

/s Full screen

/o No menu

/e Exit if first scan fails to deliver a valid bar code

/u Accept (decode) unsecure bar codes

DeviceConfig

Overview

DeviceConfig consists of the DeviceConfig.exe and the DeviceConfig.exm file located in the \IPSM

(\Honeywell for 6100/6500) folder. DeviceConfig.exe looks for and applies the settings in the

DeviceConfig.exm file.

Note: On the Dolphin 7600, the DeviceConfig.exe is located in the \Program Files\Power Tools folder.

DeviceConfig.exm File

The DeviceConfig.exm file contains terminal configuration settings. Because this file is stored in the
\IPSM
be considered system defaults.

Enabling DeviceConfig Functionality

By default, all sections except the About Section (see page 3-12) are disabled, which means that the key
values are not applied to the terminal. To use the DeviceConfig.exm file to configure the terminal, enable
the sections and keys required by your configuration in EZConfig Editor (page 2-2) on the workstation or

EZConfig Editor on the Terminal (page 2-27).

(\Honeywell for 6100/6500) folder, its configuration settings persist through cold boots and should

Autorun

Autorun (see page 4-1) launches DeviceConfig.exe, which applies the DeviceConfig.exm settings, then

launches a cold boot followed by a warm boot.

Bar Code Delivery

When the DeviceConfig.exm file is delivered to the terminal via bar code, EZConfig Client launches
DeviceConfig.exe automatically after decoding. DeviceConfig.exe then applies the settings in
theDeviceConfig.exm file in the terminal. For more information, see Creating Bar Codes (page 2-19) and

EZConfig Client (page 2-31).

The DeviceConfig.exm file must be associated with DeviceConfig.exe for EZConfig Client to launch
DeviceConfig.exe after decoding the bar code. In EZConfig Editor, the associated application path must
be

\IPSM\deviceconfig.exe

For more information, see Associating Applications, page 2-15.

(\Honeywell for 6100/6500)

Settings in Control Panel Applets

Many settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file have matching Control Panel applets on the terminal that allow
the user to enter and save the same values. If a user changes a setting in the Control Panel applet on the
terminal, that setting is applied but stored in RAM memory and erased during the next cold boot. During
the next cold boot, Autorun launches DeviceConfig, which then re-applies the settings in the
DeviceConfig.exm file.

WLAN Settings

When enabled, the WiFi section of the DeviceConfig.exm file creates profiles that will
appear in the WLAN control panel applets. Those profiles will have the same names as the
value entered in the SSID (see page 3-4) key.

3 - 1

DeviceConfig.exm Sections and Keys

The sections and keys in the DeviceConfig.exm file are locked, which means that you can change values
but not names or descriptions.

Radio Manager Section

Note: Only the Enable key is supported on the Dolphin 6100/6500/7600. You can use DeviceConfig to enable and

disable the radio but not to configure it.

In the Radio Manager, typically, you would enable the radio in the WiFi section, enable DHCP in the

TCPIP section, then configure the radio settings in the Security\Supplicant\ProfileX or
Security\NonSupplicant section.

Security Section

The Security section has no keys but two child sections: Supplicant and Non Supplicant.

Supplicant Use this section to configure the WLAN radio on Dolphin 7850 terminals; see Supplicant

Section–Dolphin 7850 on page 3-4.

NonSupplicant Use this section to configure the WLAN radio on Dolphin 7900 and 9500 terminals; see

NonSupplicant Section–Dolphins 7900 and 9500 on page 3-6.

Supplicant Section–Dolphin 7850

The Supplicant section consists of a number of child sections. The default child section is named Profile1
and contains all the keys necessary to create a configuration profile for the WLAN radio.

To create multiple radio configurations, copy the Profile1 section and paste it at the root level of the
Supplicant section. Then, rename that profile and configure the keys according the desired network
configuration. Each child section name is arbitrary, but each name must be different.

The Supplicant section contains one key named ActiveProfile. Type in the Value equal to name of one
of the desired profile child sections.

When DeviceConfig is activated on the terminal, the terminal will apply the settings in the profile specified
in the ActiveProfile key. If the ActiveProfile key does not have a matching profile, the radio will be enabled
by DeviceConfig but no specific radio configuration will be activated, which means that the radio will not
connect to your network.

Profile Subsections–Dolphin 7850

Each Profile subsection contains the keys that configure the radio connection from the terminal to the
network.

This is the hex
value of the
printer’s serial

In general, to establish a printer as a Bluetooth Favorite Device, you must establish the printer as a
Bluetooth Favorite on the terminal. The problem is that Bluetooth Favorite settings are stored in RAM
memory and therefore erased during each cold boot. The Default Printer section stores these settings
permanently in the DeviceConfig.exm file so the printer remains a Favorite after a hard reset.

Furthermore, you can distribute a DeviceConfig.exm file with the printer settings to multiple terminals.
After DeviceConfig.exe applies the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file (launched manually or after a
hard reset), the printer is set up as a Favorite automatically, without any special configuration to each
terminal.

After you have established a printer as a Bluetooth Favorite Device on an individual terminal, obtain the
values for the Address and Service keys from the registry in RegEdit.

Obtaining the MAC Address–Dolphins 7900 and 9500

be launched manually after the DeviceConfig.exm file is uploaded to the terminal. DeviceConfig.exe
processes the DeviceConfig.exm file and applies this setting before the next hard reset.

3 - 13

If DeviceConfig.exe is not launched manually prior to the next hard reset, this setting is not applied and
the Welcome screens appear during the next startup. Then, when Autorun launches DeviceConfig.exe

next

during startup, this setting is applied and the Welcome screens are removed from the

hard reset.

See Launching DeviceConfig.exe Manually on page 3-17.

Autorun.ini

When the Welcome section is enabled and applied by DeviceConfig.exe, a small Autorun.ini file is created
in the \IPSM folder. This .ini file contains the Welcome screen information. Do not remove this created
file!

Split Restrictions

The percentage split you are able to enter is specific to each terminal’s memory configuration. Min/max
ranges can be retrieved from SysInfo or SetRAM.

•See RAM INFO on page 6-21.

•See SetRAM Window on page 11-2.

AutoInstall

When the RAM section is enabled on Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices, AutoInstall.exe launches
DeviceConfig in a mode that checks only the memory allocation in the RAM section of DeviceConfig.exm
against the terminal’s current memory allocation.

If there is a discrepancy and the Prompt key in the RAM section is enabled, a prompt appears asking if
you want to apply the memory allocation in DeviceConfig. If there is a discrepancy and the Prompt key in
the RAM section is disabled, the memory allocation in DeviceConfig is applied.

Note: AutoInstall.exe launches the RAM section of DeviceConfig prior to installing cab files. No other DeviceConfig

settings are applied at this time.

Launching DeviceConfig.exe Manually

DeviceConfig.exe does launch automatically after each cold boot. However, if you make changes to the
DeviceConfig.exm file that you want applied in the terminal immediately, manually launch
DeviceConfig.exe.

1. Tap Start > Power Tools > EZConfig Utilities > DeviceConfig.exm.
On the Dolphin 6100/6500/7600, tap Start > Programs > Power Tools > EZConfig Utilities >

DeviceConfig.exm

The DeviceConfig.exm file opens in EZConfig Editor.

2. Tap Tools > Launch Associated App.

3. The settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file are saved and applied to the terminal configuration by
DeviceConfig.exe.

4. A message appears confirming that DeviceConfig.exe has finished processing the
DeviceConfig.exm file.

Temporary Option for Bar Code Deployment

The Bar Codes Tab (see page 2-20) in EZConfig Editor contains a Temporary option (see page 2-22)
that, when selected during bar code creation, applies the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file
temporarily, which means until the next cold boot.

In the terminal, EZConfig Client deploys the DeviceConfig.exm file and launches DeviceConfig.exe, which
applies the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file as usual. However, when the Temporary option is
selected, the DeviceConfig.exm file is not saved after processing is finished. The original file is preserved
instead, and its settings will be restored during the next cold boot.

Select this option when you want establish a temporary configuration in the Dolphin (such as access to a specific
network in a facility) without changing the default configuration.

Startup Power Tools

Overview

Startup is the launch sequence when a Dolphin terminal is booted.
There are two startup Power Tools:

1. Autorun (see page 4-1)

2. AutoInstall (see page 4-7)

Autorun

Autorun specifies the software applications to launch after each hard reset. Autorun is located in the \IPSM

(\Honeywell for 6100/6500) folder and consists of an Autorun.exe that is programmed by the

Autorun.exm File (page 4-1) .

During startup, after a soft or hard reset, the operating system looks for and launches

(\Honeywell for 6100/6500). If the Autorun.exe is configured (by Autorun.exm) to launch an application,

that application launches when Autorun.exe launches. Autorun can launch up to 32 applications or utility
programs after each hard reset.

Note: The Autorun.exm file allows applications to be launched based on conditional situations, including the return

code of another application launched previously and specific characteristics of the Dolphin terminal itself.

\IPSM\Autorun.exe

Autorun.exm File

The Autorun.exm file has a multi-level tree structure. There are two top level sections: Settings and
Programs.

Settings Section

The Settings section stores general Autorun settings.

•See Settings Section Keys—Dolphins 7850, 7900, & 9500 on page 4-2.

•See Settings Section Keys—Dolphin 6100/6500/7600 on page 4-2.

Programs Section

The Programs section contains many child sections and determines the sequence of events at startup,
including which programs launch and when.

Program Sections and Launch Sequence

Each section is a program to launch at startup. The sequence of sections determines the launch
sequence on the terminal; the terminal reads this file consecutively. To change the launch sequence,
move the section up or down in the list; see Working with Sections (page 2-7).

4 - 1

Enabling and Disabling Sections

If you don’t want to the application to launch at startup, you can delete the section. However, program
sections contain settings you’ll want to keep when adding that same application back to startup. To keep
the program section in the file for future reference, disable the program section instead of deleting it.
Disabled sections appear in gray.

When processing files, the terminal behaves as though disabled sections are not there and moves on to
the next enabled section.
