About iBrowse

Note: “700 Color” denotes the Intermec 730, 740, 741, 750, 751, 760, and 761 Mobile Computers, unless otherwise specified.

Note: The iBrowse application is included in the default factory build of the CK30 and CK31 computers. No purchase is required.

The goal of the iBrowse application is to provide a web browser for Intermec computers that is compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer but permits only limited, “locked-down” functionality.

You should be aware that no application can ever be completely locked down on a Windows CE-based computer. Windows CE platforms are multi-tasking environments where any number of applications can be active simultaneously. In addition, Windows CE provides numerous services and utilities that launch and remain active after a warm-boot or cold-boot. These services and utilities may, at any time, force pop-up menus or windows on top of any active application, including iBrowse. For example, Microsoft’s Connection Manager application may pop up Network Status messages at any time. Such messages and pop-ups are beyond the control of lock-down applications.

iBrowse has different compatibility modes depending on the operating system and the computer model. All Pocket PC computers, Windows Mobile computers, and the CK30 standard version are Pocket Internet Explorer compatible. All other Windows CE computers (with the exception of the CK30 standard CE image) support Internet Explorer 6like functionality.

What “Locked Down” Means

“Locked down” means deliberately limited functionality. Users do not have the ability to exit the program, key in URLs, or use the Back button. Users are also prevented from accessing the normal Navigation bar, Command bar, and Start Menu in Pocket Internet Explorer. The web page navigation completely defines where the user is to go. The onscreen keyboard is still available if needed, but iBrowse prevents it from popping up when an edit box gets focus.

Locked-down applications are can prevent users from getting “lost” in other parts of the system, help prevent users from changing system settings, and help ensure that users stay as focused and therefore as productive as possible. An administrator can modify system settings or exit the iBrowse application as necessary using a password.

iBrowse User’s Guide 13

iBrowse Requirements

• iBrowse only runs on 700 Color, CK30, CK31, CK32, CK60, CN2A, CN2B, CN3, CN30, CV30, and CV60 computers.

• A nonvolatile form of storage must be available. This can include CompactFlash (CF) storage cards, Secure Digital (SD) storage cards, Flash file storage, and disk on chip (DOC).

• iBrowse requires approximately 450 Kb of free space on the storage media and approximately 400 Kb of memory space.

• iBrowse does not support user rotation of the screen. Buttons that normally perform this rotation are disabled.

The iBrowse .ini File

The .ini file associated with iBrowse controls many of the features of iBrowse. For example, some of the options specified in the .ini file are the home page to navigate to, the exit password, and the display of information icons. Semicolons can be used in the .ini file to denote comments. You must save the .ini file as an ASCII file. If you edit the .ini file, save it as a standard ASCII file, not as a Unicode file. The file name of the .ini file is Browse.ini. The .ini file must always be in the same directory as the Browse.exe application. The installation location varies based on the computer and available storage options.

Admin Section

META tags are available to update most .ini settings. See “Custom META

Tags for iBrowse” on page 41 for information.

Note: Related desktop icons shown to the left apply to all computers, except for the CK30 computer. See “Keyboard Navigation” on page 72 for information on navigating within the iBrowse application.

The [admin] section is required in the .ini file.

Homepage

This key is required. This key specifies the page which iBrowse attempts to load on startup. Tapping the Home icon on the navigation bar also attempts to load the home page. The home page can be a URL on the Internet or a location in the local file system.

Password

This key is required. This key holds the password that allows an administrator to exit iBrowse and enter the operating system. This may be necessary if you are modifying system settings. If you leave the password field blank, you can exit the system without entering a password. The password in the default .ini is 123456 or 111111 (the sample HTML files

14 iBrowse User’s Guide

can change the password). If there is a space after the = on the password line of the .ini file, a space becomes the password. If no password is required, make sure that there is no space after the equal sign. The password is limited to six characters but keep in mind that entering more than a few alphabetic characters is extremely difficult on some computers.

F1HelpPage

This key is required. This key specifies a page to display if the F1 key is pressed on a computer. The .cab file installs a default help page (F1HELP.HTML) in the Windows directory. It is recommended that you install the help page in non-volatile storage on the computer. The [Keys] section of the .ini file has the F1HelpKey key that must be set to TRUE to enable this option.

DisableHomeCommand

This key is optional. This key enables or disables the Home icon on the navigation bar. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE (default). Set this value to TRUE to prevent the user from navigating to the home page via the Home icon.

DisableExitCommand

This key is optional This key enables or disables the Exit icon on the navigation bar. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE (default). Set this value to TRUE to prevent the user from exiting iBrowse via the Exit icon. See

“IBrowse_Command” on page 41 for other ways to exit iBrowse.

DisableOptionsMenu

This key is optional. This key enables or disables the Options item under To o l s menu on the navigation bar. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE

(default). Set this value to TRUE to disable the Options menu.

DisableSIPCommand

This key is optional. This key enables or disables the SIP icon on the navigation bar. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE. Set this value to TRUE to prevent the user from displaying the SIP via the SIP icon. The default value is FALSE (user is permitted to display the SIP).

DisablePageRefreshCommand

This key is optional. The key enables or disables the Page Refresh icon on the navigation bar. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE. Set this value to TRUE to prevent the user from performing a page refresh. The default value is FALSE. Refreshing a page will cause any dynamic updates to that page to be lost. The page will be reset to its original condition.

iBrowse User’s Guide 15

Display Section

PerformNetworkTests

This key is optional. This key enables or disables network tests that are performed when iBrowse starts up and before every page navigate. The purpose of these tests is to inform the user when navigating to a new web page is not possible. Valid values are TRUE (default) and FALSE. Set this value to FALSE to disable the network testing and associated error messages.

You can include an optional section named [Display] to display status indicators on the command bar. Indicators for the current battery status and signal strength are available. A key is also available to indicate how often to update the icons on the screen. The keys and valid values are as follows.

DisplayBatteryStatus

This is the key that shows the battery icon on the command bar. Valid values for this key are TRUE and FALSE. If this key is not specified, the default setting is FALSE. For more information on the icons and their meaning see “Running iBrowse” on page 25 for more information.

DisplaySignalStrength

Use this key to display an icon on the command bar that indicates the wireless signal strength. Valid values for this key are TRUE and FALSE. If this key is not specified, the default setting is FALSE. For more information on the icons and their meanings, see “Running iBrowse” on page 25 for more information.

Scanner Section

Tex tSi ze

This key displays text in five different sizes: “Smallest,” “Smaller,” “Medium,” “Larger,” and “Largest” with the default being “Smaller.” Note that this is only valid when running in Internet Explorer 6 mode.

UpdateInterval

This key determines how often, in seconds, that iBrowse updates the battery status and signal strength. If this key is not specified or an invalid value is supplied, the interval is set to the default of 30 seconds. Valid values are 5 to 120 seconds.

Note: iBrowse supports built-in scanners, the SF51 Cordless Scanner in 700 Color computers, and the 1552 PicoLink Scanner in CV60 computers.

You can include an optional [Scanner] section to control certain aspects of scanning.

16 iBrowse User’s Guide

UseWedgeMode

This key specifies whether the scanner functions in wedge mode. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE. FALSE is the default setting if this key is not found or is not valid. This key is optional

Setting this value to TRUE causes iBrowse to use the scanner in wedge mode. This mode enables the scanner on all pages and “wedges” the data from a valid scan into the keyboard buffer. This makes it appear as though the scanned data came from keyboard input.

When using this mode, the META tags to enable scanning are ignored by iBrowse. The META tags to configure scanner symbologies are still available if the supported symbologies need to change. Set this value to FALSE to force each web page to enable scanning via META tags. You cannot change this value via the downloaded META tags.

Codabar

This key specifies whether respective symbologies are enabled or disabled when iBrowse starts. Valid values are ENABLED or DISABLED. DISABLED is the default setting if this key is not found or is not valid.

Code 39

This key specifies whether respective symbologies are enabled or disabled when iBrowse starts. Valid values are ENABLED or DISABLED. ENABLED is the default setting if this key is not found or is not valid.

Note: PL4 printing is only supported on 700 Color computers running Pocket PC and CN3 computers running Windows Mobile 5.0.

The [Keys] section is an optional section that can map specific keys to handle actions such as navigating home and opening other iBrowse dialogs such as the about dialog, exit dialog, and options dialog. The section also contains a value to enable the [F1] help key functionality.

Leaving any option blank disables that option, preventing the user from using that option. The Options and Exit screens prompt for a password entry before allowing access to either screen. Any keys used in this section are not available for data entry. For example, if the x key is mapped for exit, the user is not able to type in a value with an x. Keys mapped using the IBrowse_OnKey META tag precede these persistent keys.

iBrowse Connectivity Messages

iBrowse requires a network connection to provide real-time web browsing. As a result, iBrowse issues network-specific messages when it has difficulty accessing the network.

“A Wireless network is not currently available”

This message is displayed when iBrowse starts running if iBrowse is unable to get signal strength from the 802.11 access point. Press OK to continue. This is an informational message only. The user should move to an area with better signal strength to allow web browsing.

”Network not found. Search again?”

This message can display on startup or when attempting to navigate a web page. This can display even when there is full signal strength because a connection to the access point does not guarantee a connection to the network that is hosting the web server.

Press OK to temporarily put iBrowse on hold while it searches for a network. If no network is found the same message is displayed again. If a network is found, the message “A Network has been found” is displayed.

Press Cancel for iBrowse to continue as if it had a valid connection to the network.

An issue that causes this message to display is either not having a valid IP address or entering an invalid IP address for the gateway on the computer.

”A Network has been found. Press OK to continue.”

This message is displayed after the “This device is not currently connected to the network” message if OK was pressed to keep searching for a network and a network was found. Press OK to continue using iBrowse.

”An IP Address has not been assigned to this device.”

This message is displayed on application startup if no IP address was assigned to the computer. Press OK for iBrowse to continue without a valid IP address. This message may display if the computer could not be assigned a DHCP IP address or if the computer is set up to use static IP addressing and no IP address was entered.
