Audio System

Speaker

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

The audio system consists of the speaker, internal microphone, and the
external headset jack.

The speaker, which is capable of variable volume levels, is located on the
back of the 751G. This speaker has a transducer volume of 85 dB min at 10
cm (3.9") and a frequency range of 1-8 KHz.

Microphone

Warning: Do not place the speaker next to your ear when the speaker
volume is set to “Loud” (maximum), or you may damage your hearing.

The built-in microphone is located on the bottom of the unit next to the
Hirose docking connector.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

External Headset Jack

The external headset jack connects a mobile phone style headset to the
751G for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three­conductor jack, with autosensing of the headset jack insertion which
disables the internal speaker and microphone. The external headset jack is
located on the bottom of the 751G next to the Hirose docking connector.

Battery

External headset jack

The 751G comes with a 14.4 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-Ion
(LiIon) battery. To view the status of this battery from the 751G, tap Start
> Settings > Control Panel. Double-tap the Power icon, then tap the
Battery tab. Tap OK to exit this applet.

Hirose docking connector

If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your
computer does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected.
Although the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours,
you should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect
a low battery condition.

Note: Your computer has an internal backup super capacitor, a temporary
power storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. It also shuts
down the 751G if the main battery suddenly goes away (removed from the
computer). Depending on the processes running, it may not have adequate
power for a graceful shutdown. If so, the 751G performs a cold-boot the
next time power is applied.

In short, put the 751G into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove
the main battery.

4 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

If you have at least one device in your 751G (radio, scanner, or imager), the
battery power fail level is set so that after the system shuts down in a low
battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the unit to remain
configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic Random
Access Memory) for at least 72 hours at room temperature if the main
battery remains in the mobile computer.

The configuration and time are lost if:

• The battery discharges beyond this level.

• The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.

• A cold-boot (reset) is performed on the computer.

Installing and Charging the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your 751G. To
charge the battery, you need to install it in the 751G.

1 Remove the two thumb screws on the connector cover to release the

hand strap and back cover.

Resetting Your Computer

In some cases where the 751G completely stops responding, it may be
necessary to perform a cold reset. Because cold resetting may result in data
loss, only use this method if all other recovery methods have failed.

Note: Cold resetting deletes all programs and data stored in RAM
including the Object Store. Make sure data is backed up to your host
computer or a storage card before performing a cold reset.

To reset your computer, release the lower clip of the hand strap, remove the
battery pack, press the Reset button, then reinstall the battery pack.

751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 35

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Configuring Parameters

You can configure many parameters on the 751G, such as the bar code
symbologies it decodes or the network settings. These characteristics are
controlled by configuration parameters. The values you set for these
configuration parameters determine how the computer operates. Use
configuration commands to configure the 751G.

Configuring the Computer With Intermec Settings

Use the Intermec Settings applet to configure the 751G and view system
information. You can access the Intermec Settings applet while running any
application.

From the 751G desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then
double-tap the Intermec Settings icon.

For detailed information on most of the commands available in the
Intermec Settings applet, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference

Manual (P/N 073529) via the Intermec web site. Go to “Before You

Begin” for access information.

Synchronizing the Computer System Time with a Time Server

It is important that the time on all of your 751Gs be synchronized with a
network time server to ensure real-time communications and updates.
Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from an
outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The 751G
uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize with a
network time server.

The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To
synchronize the time on your 751G with this time server, you must have a
valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the 751G system
time with a corporate network server within your firewall that is SNTP­capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you need to set the
command name in the registry.

36 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Configuring the Computer through the Network

You can change the configuration parameters of the 751G by sending
commands through a host computer or through the network. If you are
using a network, you can configure one or more 751Gs at a time. You can
remotely configure the wireless 751G by sending a command from an
application on the host computer. Note that you cannot set all parameters

through the network. You can only set those commands that have a syntax in the
Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual.

Note: You can continue running an application on the 751G while
configuring it from the host computer.

Configuring the Computer in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network

Use the host computer to configure a wireless 751G in a
TCP/IP network. To send and receive configuration data, write a host
application that can communicate with the 751G directly through an
access point or through the network. Use the TMF protocol to send and
receive transactions between the host application and the 751G.

To set up the host computer, verify communication with the 751G. To set
up the application, prepare and write a host application that can
communicate with the IAS and send transactions to and receive
transactions from the 751G in this format:

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

TMF field commands

where:

TMF field is a 2-byte field containing one of these values:

CG Configuration Get request sent from the host application.

Cg Configuration Get response sent from the 751G to the host computer.

CS Configuration Set request sent from the host application.

Cs Configuration Set response sent from the 751G to the host computer.

commands are the reader and configuration commands to set on the 751G or the current

value to retrieve from the 751G. To save configuration changes in flash
memory, send the .+1 reader command as the last command. See the
Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual for a list of commands.

Example

In the host application, you want to get the current values of two
configuration commands from the 751G. Send the

CG$+NABV transaction

from the host application.

Note: The transaction header is not shown in this example. You do not
need a transaction header for a host application in a TCP/IP network, but
you do for a UDP Plus network.

where:

CG is a TMF Configuration Get request.

$+ is the Change Configuration reader command.

BV is the Beeper Volume configuration command.

751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 37

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

The computer returns the CgS+BV4 transaction to the host application:

Cg is a TMF Configuration Get response.

$+ is the Change Configuration reader command.

BV4 means the Beeper Volume configuration command is set to a value of 4, which is

a very high beeper volume.

Configuring the Computer in a UDP Plus Network

Use the host computer to configure a 751G in your wireless network. To
send and receive configuration data or files, write a host application that
can communicate with an Intermec Application Server (IAS) (formerly
Gateway or DCS 30X).

For help, see the appropriate Gateway or DCS 30X User’s Manual. Use the
Terminal Message Format (TMF) protocol to send and receive transactions
between the host application and the 751G.

To set up the IAS, configure a peer-to-peer destination name for the host
application. Create a $NGCFGRSP transaction ID that routes to this
destination name. The IAS uses the transaction ID to route responses from
the 751G back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP is a special
transaction ID that the server uses to forward configuration response data
from a 751G.

All configuration responses are routed with the $NGCFGRSP transaction
ID. The IAS cannot track multiple applications sending reader or
configuration commands. If you have two host applications sending reader
or configuration commands, they must both be configured to receive the
$NGCFGRSP transactions, and receive all 751G responses.

To set up the host computer, verify host computer-to-IAS communication.

To set up the application, prepare and write a host application that can
communicate with the IAS and send transactions to and receive
transactions from the 751G in this format.

transaction header TMF field commands

where:

transaction
header

TMF field is a 2-byte field containing one of these values:

commands are the reader and configuration commands to set on the 751G or the current

is a 96-byte field with message number, date, time, source application ID,
destinations application ID, transaction ID, and other. Set the system
message (SYS$MSG) flag to E in the transaction header.

CG Configuration Get request sent from the host application.

Cg Configuration Get response sent from the 751G to host computer.

CS Configuration Set request sent from the host application.

Cs Configuration Set response sent from the 751G to the host computer

value to retrieve from the 751G. To save configuration changes in flash
memory, send the .+1 reader command as the last command. See the
Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual for supported commands.

See the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual for information.

Configuring the Printer

The 751G works with a Zebra PT403 Portable Printer, which interfaces
through an I/O adapter (P/N 074143). Contact an Intermec representative
for information about this printer.

Methods for printing using Windows CE at this time is as follows:

• Add port drivers to print ASCII directly to the port.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

• Use LinePrinter ActiveX Control from the Software Developer’s Kit
(SDK) - see the SDK User’s Manual for more information.

Directly to a Port

Printing directly to the port sends RAW data to the printer. The format of
this data depends upon your application and the printer capabilities.

You must understand the printer commands available for your specific
printer. Generally, applications just send raw ASCII text to the printer.
Since you are sending data to the printer from your application directly to
the port you are in complete control of the printers operations. This allows
you to do line printing (print one line at a time) rather than the page format
printing offered by the GDI approach. It is also much faster since data does
not have to be converted from one graphics format to the other (display to
printer). Most Intermec printers use Epson Escape Sequences to control
print format operations.

These commands are available in documentation you receive with your
printers or from technical support. Win32 APIs are required to print
directly to the port.

Directly to a Generic Serial Port

To print directly to a generic serial port printer (non–Intermec printers):

• Use CreateFile() to open ports - COM1: can be opened on most devices.

• Use WriteFile() to send data directly to the printer.

• Use CloseHandle() when you are finished printing to close the port.

Configuring the Scanner

The 751G comes with a 2D Imager that decodes several stacked 1D and
2D symbologies, including PDF417, Data Matrix, and MaxiCode without
“painting.” It can also read 1D codes from any orientation. For example the
scan beam does not need to align perpendicular to the symbol in order to
read it. Photography is a secondary application; the lens in the device favors
bar code reading. Photos are 640x480, 256 gray-scale.

An ImageDemo application is available to demonstrate imager features. See
the ImageDemo User’s Guide (P/N 934-002-001) for more information.

Scanner Control and Data Transfer

The data server and associated software provide ways to handle scanner
control, data transfer between the scanner subsystem and user applications:

• Automatic Data Collection COM Interfaces:
These COM interfaces allow user applications to receive bar code data,
and configure and control the bar code reader engine.

• ITCAxBarCodeReaderControl functions:
These ActiveX controls allow user applications to collect bar code data
from the scanner, to configure the scanner, and to configure audio and
visual notification when data arrives.

• ITCAxReaderCommand functions:
Use these ActiveX controls to modify and retrieve configuration
information using the reader interface commands.

• Scanning EasySet bar code labels:
You can use the EasySet bar code creation software from Intermec
Technologies Corporation to print configuration labels. Scan the labels
to change the scanner configuration and data transfer settings.

Use the software to print scannable configuration labels to change your
configuration settings. For more information, see the EasySet online
help. EasySet is available from the Intermec Data Capture web site.

“C:\Intermec\751G Mgmt Tools\CabFiles” path for any CAB files
needed for your 751G. Right-click the file, then select Copy.

5 In the “Mobile Device” folder, go to the folder where you want the files

located on the 751G, do a right-click for a pop-up menu, select Paste.

6 When the files are pasted, perform a warm-boot on the 751G, then wait

for the LED on the top left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start >
Programs > Windows Explorer to locate the newly copied executable
files, then tap these files to activate their utilities.

Use the following steps to install an application using a storage card:

1 Suspend the 751G and remove its Secure Digital storage card.

2 Using a Secure Digital adapter, place the Secure Digital storage card in

your PC card drive, then create a subdirectory on the Secure Digital
drive in which to store your application.

3 Copy your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers to

the subdirectory created on the Secure Digital storage card.

4 Add your application to the AutoUser.dat file on the “\SDMMC

Disk\2577” directory with the following statement:

RUN=\<your directory>\<yourapp.exe>

where your directory is the directory on the Secure Digital storage card
where the application was installed, and yourapp.exe is the name of your
application. Finish the “RUN=” statement with a CR/LF combination.
There may be multiple run statements in the file.

44 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

5 Add the AuotRun.exe file to the “\SDMMC Disk\2577” folder.

6 Remove the Secure Digital storage card from your PC and reinstall it

into the 751G, then warm-boot the 751G to add these files to the Secure
Digital storage card.

If the AutoUser.dat file is found and the “RUN=” statement is correct, the
task manager launches and executes your program on startup.

Using the SmartSystems Console

You can use the SmartSystems Console to drag-and-drop Intermec
applications onto your 751Gs. The 751G ships with the SmartSystems
client loaded on it. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation and is
available from the Intermec web site.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Using Wavelink Avalanche

You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to install
applications on all of your wireless 751Gs.

The wireless 751G ships with the Avalanche Enabler already loaded on it.
The Avalanche Enabler is configured to activate automatically (typically on
a clean-boot).

Note: If you manually activate the Avalanche Enabler on the 751G, you
may be prompted for a password when you exit the Avalanche Enabler. The
default password is leave.

When the Avalanche Enabler is activated, the 751G attempts to connect to
the Avalanche Agent. When the 751G connects to the Agent, the Agent
determines whether an update is available and immediately starts the
software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.

1 Use the Avalanche Management Console to install software packages

and updates. For help, see its online help, contact an Intermec
representative, or visit the Wavelink web site at www.wavelink.com.

2 Schedule the 751G updates or manually initiate an update using the

Avalanche Management Console.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Installing Cabinet Files

Cab files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by
Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .cab, that
stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread over
several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application
decompresses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s
system.

For the 751G, cab files register DLLs, create shortcuts, modify registry
entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a cab file to extract that file or
place the cab file on one of the approved storage devices in the “\CabFiles”
folder, then perform a warm-boot on the 751G. There are two methods
available to extract a cab file:

• Tap a cab file to extract it. With this method, the cab file is automatically
deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless the cab file is set
with the read-only attribute.

• Use the AutoCab method to extract all files when a cold-boot is
performed on the 751G. This method is on the Intermec Developer
Library CD, see its Software Tools User’s Manual for information.

Developing Applications for the Computer

751Gs run applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studios 2005.
Use this chapter to understand what you need to develop a new application
for the 751G.

Note: Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 may be used, but some features
are not available.

Use Resource Kits from the Intermec Developer Library (IDL) to develop
applications for your 751G, which are downloadable from the Intermec
web site at www.intermec.com/idl.

You need the following hardware and software components to use the
resource kits:

• Pentium desktop, 400 MHz or higher

• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home,
Professional, or Server)

• For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

• 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)

• 360 MB hard drive space minimum installation (720 MB for complete)

• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia desktop specification

• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)

• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

46 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Packaging Applications for the Computer

• You could package an application as a cabinet (cab) file. Recommended

• For simple applications, the application itself may be the file to deliver.

• It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting
files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.

Consider any of these when choosing a storage location for applications:

• In the 751G are two built-in storage options: the Object Store and the
Persistent Storage Manager (PSM). The Object Store is RAM that looks
like a disk. Anything copied here is deleted when a cold-boot is
performed on the unit. The PSM is an area of storage embedded in a
section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased
during a cold-boot, but it may be erased during the reflash. You also have
the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.

• If the optional Secure Digital storage card is in the system, then consider
this card the primary location to place applications installation files. The
“\SDMMC Disk” folder represents the Secure Digital card.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

• Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that
rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB file
into the Flash File Store so they are “ready-to-run” when a cold-boot is
performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of
write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing
purposes; however, reading is okay.

Files copied to any of these locations are safe when a cold-boot is performed
on a 751G — providing the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate
location. You can find this system in the 751G Management Tools portion
of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD. Copying a cab file to the “\Flash
File Store\Persistent Copy\CabFiles” folder automatically extracts that cab
file on every cold-boot to ensure that your system is properly set up (see

“Installing Cabinet Files” on page 46).

Launching Your Application Automatically

Note: This describes the system component startup for Intermec-provided
components only. It does not describe the bootstrap loader process. It only
describes the component installation process provided by Windows. It is
assumed that you understand the Microsoft Mobile startup procedures and
are familiar with how Microsoft components start up.

You can configure the various media used in the Windows system with a
folder name and can change the media in the registry of the system. Many
of the startup components rely on folder names to locate information files,
applications, or other related data.

751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 47

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

The registry keys used by FolderCopy and other startup components to
retrieve the folder names are as follows:

Flash File Store

[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\FlshDrv]
“FolderName”=“Flash File Store”

SD Card (Storage Card)

[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMMC]
“Folder”=“Storage Card”

During normal Windows system startup, there are Intermec-specific and
non-Intermec components that require an orderly start to properly
function. These non-Intermec components may also need to start
themselves so the Windows device can function properly. Since there are
possible configurations that come from using one or more optional built-in
peripheral devices, the platform components starting on the next page are
required to manage startup.

RunAutoRun

System components are installed and configured during the power up
process from a single starting point. RunAutoRun (RunAutoRun.exe),
built into the operating system image and located in the “\Windows”
folder, checks for AutoExec (AutoExec.exe) in the “\Flash File Store\2577”
folder.

Folder names used for the mounted volumes are retrieved from the registry
to maintain coherence with the naming of the mounted volumes on the
platform. These folder names are not hard-coded.

AutoExec is reserved for Intermec use to configure Intermec-specific
applications. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab (AutoCab.exe), to
install platform cab files to the system, such as Intermec Data Collection.

When the AutoExec is complete, RunAutorun then checks for the existence
of AutoRun (AutoRun.exe) and executes this program from the first media
it is found on. This order is Secure Digital (“\SDMMC Disk\2577”),
Object Store (“\2577”), Flash File Store (“\Flash File Store\2577”).

AutoRun is reserved for customer use to configure application launch
sequences. It launches the AutoCab installer and any customer programs
added to the AutoUser.dat file. Shown is the hierarchy of these files:

runautorun

autoexec autorun

autocopy autoreg foldercopy

48 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

autocab

applications

autocab

AutoExec

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

AutoExec (AutoExec.exe) automates operations such as pausing, launching
processes, or signaling, and is configured through the AutoExec data file
(AutoExec.dat). This script file must be in the same directory as the
program itself.

Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec
Private.” AutoExec installs Intermec applications such as Data Collection,
Security Supplicants, Intermec Management, applets, and shortcuts from
components found in the Flash File System. Do not modify the AutoExec
data file. Instead, use the AutoRun program to add software components.

Usage:

AutoExec [-%[W]] [-E=["X"]] [-F=["Y"]] [-LOG=] [-W=[Z]]

-% Passes an ID to use in a call to SignalStarted. This argument is useful only during

-E Passes a signal event name to use when autoexec completes. X is a string value.

-F Overrides data file to use. Must be a fully qualified name. Default is

-LOG Set to any value logs activity to AutoExec.txt (in the same location as the

-W Pauses the autoexec process by calling sleep for the number of seconds specified

system startup that relies on a SignalStarted to call. W is an integer value.

“autoexec.dat” in same location as AutoExec.exe program. Y is string value.

AutoExec.exe program). Default is disabled.

by Z. Z is an integer value.

Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WinError.h.

Keywords that AutoExec supports are:

QUIET Enables user notification when an error occurs.

LOGGING Enables logging to a trace file.

SIGNAL Enables the specified named event and is immediately signaled. Useful for

notifying other components of the current status.

CALL Processes another .dat file. When called file is complete, file is resumed.

RUN Runs a program with a SW_SHOWNORMAL attribute. Autoexec does not

wait for the child process to exit.

LOAD Runs a program with a SW_HIDE attribute. Autoexec waits for 60 seconds

EXEC Runs the specified program. AutoExec waits 60 seconds for the child

EXECWAIT Changes the default EXEC wait time from 60 seconds to the number of

; Change the default EXEC wait time to 90 seconds.

EXECWAIT 90
; Suspend processing any commands for 10 seconds.

WAIT 10
; Suspend processing any commands until event called MyEventName is signaled.

WAITFOR "MyEventName"

AutoRun

AutoRun (AutoRun.exe) automates operations such as launching other
processes and is configured through the AutoRun data file (AutoRun.dat).
This file must be in the same directory as the program itself.

AutoRun supports the following script commands in AutoUser.dat and
AutoRun.dat.

AutoCopy

Note: If you need to add steps at boot time, add them to AutoUser.dat, not
to AutoRun.dat. AutoRun.dat is provided by Intermec and is subject to
change. AutoUser.dat is the designated place for the end user to add steps
to the boot time process.

EXEC Launches a specified program, waits for it to complete (up to 10 minutes).

CALL Processes a specified file of commands and returns.

CHAIN Processes a specified file of commands and does not return.

RUN Loads a specified program and executes it.

LOAD Loads a specified program and executes it.

AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first parameter to allow
specifying path names or file names that contain white space. Note only
one set of quotes per command is supported. AutoRun.dat entry examples:

RUN “Flash File Store\Apps\some.exe” arg1, arg2, arg3

CALL “Flash File Store\2577\usercmds.dat”

AutoCopy (AutoCopy.exe) copies/moves files between locations. It has no
user interface and is configured through command line arguments. It has
support for the following parameters, in no particular order:

50 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Usage:

AutoCopy [-D["W"]] [-L["X"]] [-M[D]] [-Q[Y]] [-S["Z"]]

-D Indicates destination file name and must be fully qualified. W is a string value.

-L Indicates qualified file name for logging to enable. Default is disabled, X string value

-M Moves file to a destination rather than copies the file. Default value is disabled. D is
an integer value. D=1 indicates enabled, 0 is disabled.

-Q Indicates if a message box should appear when an error occurs. Default is disabled. Y
is an integer value.

-S Indicates a source file name and must be fully qualified. Z is a string value.

Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WINERROR.H.

Example:

; use AutoCopy to copy the control panel from flash file store to windows.
autocopy.exe -S"\Flash File Store\System\Audio.cpl" -D"\Windows\Audio.cpl"

; use AutoCopy to move the control panel from flash file store to windows.
autocopy.exe -M1 -S"\Flash File Store\System\Audio.cpl" -D"\Windows\Audio.cpl"

AutoReg

The AutoReg (AutoReg.exe) component adds registry information to the
Windows Mobile registry. It has no user interface and is configured
through command line arguments.

Usage:

AutoReg [-D] [-HKey] [-Q] “filename”

-D Deletes registry file after a good load, allows systems with implemented hives

-H Saves registry path, and all child entries, to the specific .REG registry file.

-Q Indicates whether a message box should appear when a fatal error occurs.

filename Fully qualified file name to read from or write to, encased in double quotes to

support spaces in paths or file names. See examples below.

Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WinError.h.

Example:

; use AutoReg to install this registry information.
autoreg.exe "\Flash File Store\install.reg"

; use AutoReg to install this registry information. Delete the file afterwards.
autoreg.exe -D "\Flash File Store\install.reg"

; use AutoReg to extract registry information to a file.
autoreg.exe -HHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intermec\Version "\version.reg"

The format of the input file, in this example, is the standard registry format
which should ease the creation of the input file since there are many
publicly available utilities to generate a registry file besides Notepad.

751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 51

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

AutoCab

AutoCab (AuotCab.exe) extracts files, registry settings, and shortcuts from
Windows cabinet (.CAB) files. The Windows startup sequence invokes
AutoCab as a part of AutoExec and AutoRun. During the Windows
Mobile startup sequence, AutoCab processes all cab files in the “\CabFiles”
directory relative to the current location of Autocab, unless the location is
overridden by command line arguments. AutoCab can run as a stand-alone
program to install a cab file or a directory of cab files.

AutoCab only installs the cab file if it was not installed before by AutoCab.
To track the installation of a cab file, AutoCab marks the cab file with the
System attribute. This attribute is ignored if the device is performing a
clean-boot on a non-persistent file system.

AutoCab preserves the cab file after installation if the ReadOnly attribute is
set. If not set, the cab file is deleted automatically after installation.
Command line switches are described as follows.

Usage:

AutoCab [-ChkRst=][-File=][-Force][-Log=][-Move=][-Quiet=][-Show=][-Signal=]

-ChkRst= Set to 1 to configure AutoCab to check for the Reset flag after all cab files are installed. This file is created by
cab files that want a clean reset after installation. Default is 0 (do not check for flag).

-File= Specifies the cab files to extract. Note that the specified files need not end with the .cab extension.

-Force Forces the specified cab files to extract regardless of whether it was previously extracted.

-Log= Set to 1 to create log file in same folder AutoCab is running. Debugs cab installation. Default is 0 (disabled).

-Move= Set to 1 to force source cab file deletion, even when read-only bit set on file. Default is 0 (disabled).

-Quiet= Set to 0 to allow AutoCab to display user error message box. Debugs cab installation. Default is 1 (quiet).

-Show= Set to 0 to prevent showing any installation progress interfaces. Also prevents user from canceling installation.

-Signal= Set to string name of signal to use at the completion of cab installation before a reboot occurs (if enabled).

Set to 1 to show normal installation. Set to 2 to show Intermec installation progress interface (user can see
what is installing but cannot cancel it). Default is 1 (show normal).

AutoCab uses WaitForSingleObject on this name. Default is disabled.

If <PathName> references a single cab file, that file is processed. If
<PathName> references a directory, all the .cab files in that directory is
processed. If <PathName> is a wild card pattern, all files matching that
pattern is processed. If <PathName> is omitted, InstallCab processes all the
.cab files in directory “\CabFiles.”

Example:

; Install all cab files in the \Flash File Store\XYZ directory, regardless.
AutoCab -FILE="\Flash File Store\XYZ\*.cab" -FORCE

; Install only one cab file, use Intermec cab installation display
AutoCab -FILE=”\myCab\app.cab” -show=2

52 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Creating Cab Files

The Windows CE operating system uses a .cab file to install an application
on a Windows CE-based device. A .cab file is composed of multiple files
that are compressed into one file. Compressing multiple files into one file
provides the following benefits:

• All application files are present.

• A partial installation is prevented.

• The application can be installed from several sources, such as a desktop
computer or a web site.

Use the CAB Wizard application (CabWiz.exe) to generate a .cab file for
your application.

Creating Device-Specific Cab Files

Do the following to create a device-specific .cab file for an application, in
the order provided:

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

1 Create an .INF file with Windows CE-specific modifications (below).

2 Optional Create a SETUP.DLL file to provide custom control of the

installation process (page 62).

3 Use the CAB Wizard to create the .cab file, using the .inf file, the

optional Setup.dll file, and the device-specific application files as
parameters (page 65).

Creating an .inf File

An .inf file specifies information about an application for the CAB Wizard.
Below are the sections of an .inf file:

[Version]

This specifies the creator of the file, version, other relevant information.

Required? Yes

Signature “signature_name” “$Windows NT$”

Provider “INF_creator” Example: RegSettings.All

CESignature “$Windows CE$”

[CEDevice]

Describes the platform for the targeted application. All keys are optional. If
a key is nonexistent or has no data, Windows CE does not perform any
checking except the UnsupportedPlatforms. If the UnsupportedPlatforms key
exists but no data, the previous value is not overridden.

Required? Yes

ProcessorType processor_type The value that is returned by SYSTEMINFO.dwProcessorType.For

example, the value for the ARM CPU is 2577

UnsupportedPlatforms platform_family_name Lists known unsupported platform family names. If name specified

in [CEDevice.xxx] section is different from in [CEDevice] section,
both platform_family_name values are unsupported for
microprocessor specified by xxx. The list of unsupported platform
family names is appended to the previous list of unsupported names.
Application Manager will not display the application for an
unsupported platform. User will be warned during the setup process
if the .cab file is copied to an unsupported device.

; The following specifies version 1.0 devices only.
VersionMin = 1.0
VersionMax = 1.0

[CEDevice.ARM]; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .CAB file specific to ARM devices.
ProcessorType = 2577; ARM .cab file is valid for ARM microprocessors.
UnsupportedPlatforms = ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported

; The following overrides the version settings so that no version checking is
performed.
VersionMin =
VersionMax =

[CEDevice.MIPS] ; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .CAB file specific to “MIPS” devices.
ProcessorType = 4000; MIPS .CAB file is valid for MIPS microprocessor.
UnsupportedPlatforms =pltfrm2; pltfrm1, pltfrm2 unsupported for MIPs .CAB
file.

Note: To create the two CPU-specific .cab files for the Setup.inf file in the
previous example, run the CAB Wizard with the “/cpu arm mips”
parameter.

Using Installation Functions in Setup.dll

Setup.dll is an optional file that enables you to perform custom operations
during installation and removal of your application. The following list
shows the functions that are exported by Setup.dll.

Install_Init Called before installation begins. Use this function to check the application version when reinstalling

an application and to determine if a dependent application is present.

Install_Exit Called after installation is complete. Use this function to handle errors that occur during application

Uninstall_Init Called before the removal process begins. Use this function to close the application, if the application

and delete the database and to tell the user where the user data files are stored and how to reinstall the
application.

Note: Use [DefaultInstall] > CESelfRegister (page 56) in the .inf file to
point to Setup.dll.

preferred method to create this file is within the DllMain portion of the
Setup.dll file. It looks like this:

#include <windows.h>
#include <Tlhelp32.h>
#include <winioctl.h>
#include <ce_setup.h> // in the public SDK dir

#define IOCTL_TERMINAL_RESET CTL_CODE (FILE_DEVICE_UNKNOWN,FILE_ANY_ACCESS,

Creating Cab Files with CAB Wizard

After you create the .inf file and the optional Setup.dll file, use the CAB
Wizard to create the .cab file. Below is the command-line syntax:

cabwiz.exe “inf_file” [/dest dest_directory] [/err error_file] [/cpu cpu_type
[cpu_type]]

A batch file in <program> directory, with these commands, works well:

cabwiz.exe c:\appsoft\<program>\<inf_file_name>
cd \appsoft\<program>

“inf_file” The Setup.inf file path.

dest_directory The destination directory for the .cab files. If no directory is specified, the .cab files are created in the

error_file File name for a log file that contains all warnings and errors that are encountered when the .cab files

cpu_type Creates a .cab file for each specified microprocessor tag, which is a label used in the Win32

are compiled. If no file name is specified, errors are displayed in message boxes. If a file name is used,
the CAB Wizard runs without the user interface (UI); this is useful for automated builds.

SETUP.INF file to differentiate between different microprocessor types. The /cpu parameter, followed
by multiple cpu_type values, must be the last qualifier in the command line.

751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 65

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Example

This example creates .cab files for the ARM and MIPS microprocessors,
assuming the Win32 Setup.inf file contains the ARM and MIPS tags:

cabwiz.exe “c:\myfile.inf” /err myfile.err /cpu arm mips

Note: CabWiz.exe, MakeCab.exe, and CabWiz.ddf (Windows CE files
available on the Windows CE Toolkit) must be installed in the same
directory on the desktop computer. Call CabWiz.exe using its full path for
the CAB Wizard application to run correctly.

Troubleshooting the CAB Wizard

To identify and avoid problems that might occur when using the CAB
Wizard, follow these guidelines:

•Use %% for a percent sign (%) character when using this character in an
.inf file string, as specified in Win32 documentation. This will not work
under the [Strings] section.

• Do not use .inf or .cab files created for Windows CE to install
applications on Windows-based desktop platforms.

• Ensure the MakeCab.exe and CabWiz.ddf files, included with Windows
CE, are in the same directory as CabWiz.exe.

• Use the full path to call CabWiz.exe.

• Do not create a .cab file with the MakeCab.exe file included with
Windows CE. You must use CabWiz.exe, which uses MakeCab.exe to
generate the .cab files for Windows CE.

•Do not set the read-only attribute for .cab files.

Customization and Lockdown

Some customers would prefer that their users not have access to all of the
operating system features. Intermec cannot customize the operating system
in any way but a custom application can:

• Delete items from the Start menu, and Programs folder. These items are
just shortcuts in the file system so the application is not really being
deleted. Cold booting the device will bring these items back so the
application will need to be run on every cold boot.

• Use the RegFlushKey() API to save a copy of the registry to a storage
device. See the IDL for more information on how to do this. Saving a
copy of the registry restores most system settings in a cold boot situation.

• Use the SHFullScreen() API with other APIs to have the application take
up the entire display and prevent the Start menu from being available.

• Remap keys and disable keys on the keypad; create a custom SIP; or

• Make changes to the registry to configure the device.

Kernel I/O Controls

This describes the KernelIoControl() functions available to application
programmers. Most C++ applications will need to prototype the function
as the following to avoid link and compile errors.

extern “C” BOOL KernelIoControl(DWORD dwIoControlCode, LPVOID lpInBuf, DWORD
nInBufSize, LPVOID lpOutBuf, DWORD nOutBufSize, LPDWORD lpBytesReturned);

You can also see the Device Resource Kit in the Intermec Developer
Library (IDL) for information about these functions. The IDL is available
as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.
Contact your Intermec representative for more information.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Networking APIs

The API provided by Intermec Technologies exposes a limited set of
routines that allows a programmer to access and affect the 802.11b/g
network interface card from within their application. The routines
provided also reads/writes values to the CE registry that pertain to the

802.11b/g radio driver. By using the provided functions, a programmer can
alter the 802.11b/g parameters of Network Name (SSID), WEP keys,
infrastructure modes, radio channel, and power management modes. A
programmer can also retrieve network connect status and signal strength
indication from the RF network card.

The API is contained within the 80211API.DLL file that should be present
in any load with the 802.11b/g networking installed.

80211API.DLL This file is an Intermec authored file that provides the programmer with a set of API calls to

configure or monitor status of the 802.11b/g network.

80211PM.DLL This handles profile management for radio configurable values.

URODDSVC.EXE This handles radio configuration and security authentication based on a selected profile. There is a

user interface to this service that provides status of the supplicant as well as status of the 80211b/g
authentication process.

ZNICZIO.DLL A replacement for NDISUIO.DLL that supports the Funk Supplicant.

The Profile Manager supports up to four radio configuration profiles.
These profiles are the same as those set by the Wireless Network control
panel applet that runs on the Windows CE unit. You can configure
different 802.11b/g profiles and switch between them using the 802.11
API. See “ConfigureProfile()” on page 92 for more information.

Basic Connect/Disconnect Functions

Below are functions available for the 751G when enabled with the
