4 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Using the Battery

The CK30 uses a model AB1G (P/N 318-020-xxx) lithium-ion battery as its main power source. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the CK30. When you change the battery, a backup battery maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes.

If the Battery light blinks or turns on solid, you cannot restore factory defaults or perform a warm or cold boot on your CK30 using the I key. You must replace the battery with a fully charged battery before you can perform either function.

Removing the main battery when the backup battery low or critically low icon displays on the taskbar may cause your CK30 to cold boot and you may lose data.

The lithium-ion battery pack that is used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it.

Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer

If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important data or applications.

Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your local Intermec sales representative for replacement batteries.

Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme temperatures, input devices, and your usage. For example, if you use a tethered scanner every day, you will need to replace your battery more often than someone who uses an internal scanner.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer

Charging and Installing the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the AB1G battery before you install it in your CK30.

To charge the battery

• Either insert the battery into the AC1 4-slot battery charger

or place the CK30 with battery installed in the AC2 4-Bay Charging Dock, AC3 8-Bay Charging Dock, AD1 1-Bay Communications Dock, or AD2 4-Bay Communications Dock. For more information on these accessories, see page

150.

Use the following table to understand how long it will take to charge your batteries in each of the CK30 charging or communications dock accessories.

Charging Times for CK30 Batteries

CK30 Accessory Charging Time

AC1 4-Slot Battery Charger 5 hours

AC2 4-Bay Charging Dock 5 hours

AC3 8-Slot Charging Dock 5 hours

AD1 1-Bay Communications Dock 5 hours

AD2 4-Bay Communications Dock 5 hours

6 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer

To install the battery

• Insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery into the

CK30 and snap the battery into place.

Maximizing Battery Life

There are several things that you can do to prolong the life of your fully charged battery.

AB1G battery

1 Verify that Radio Power Management is enabled (Fast PSP).

Enabling radio power management allows your radio to switch between awake and sleep modes based on network traffic. If you use the default setting of disabled (CAM), you will have the best network performance (data throughput) but it will draw the most power from your battery.

2 Verify that the backlight timeout is set to 15 seconds. 3 Verify that Power Management has an automatic shutoff time

of 3 minutes.

You can use the Configuration Utility to easily make all of these configuration changes. For help, see “Configuring the CK30 With the Configuration Utility” on page 36.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 7

Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer

Checking the Battery Status

The easiest way to tell the status of your battery is to look at the battery icon on the taskbar of your CK30.

Battery Icon Status

Icon Status

Battery has a medium charge. You should be able to work for several more hours before changing batteries.

Battery is low. You need to replace the battery soon.

Battery is critically low. You must replace the battery now.

You can also check the battery status by looking at the Battery light on the front of the CK30 or by using the battery diagnostics screen. For help using the Battery light, see “Understanding the Status Lights” on page 3 for more information. For help using the Battery Information diagnostic screen, see “Battery Information” on page 109.

Using the Keypad

Your CK30 has one of the following keypad overlay options:

• 42-key large numeric and function

• 50-key full alphanumeric

• 52-key full alphanumeric

You can order all versions of the CK30 keypad with an international overlay. The international overlay supports English and many Western European languages, such as French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. You enter all of the characters and functions printed above the keys just like you would on a standard keypad.

Note: There are hidden characters (such as { and }) on each CK30 keypad that require using the color-coded keys to access them. For help accessing these hidden characters, see “Typing Characters Not Printed on the Keypad” on page 152.

8 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer

The CK30 supports TE 2000 VT100/220/320/340 and ANSI, TE 2000 5250, and TE 2000 3270. When you order the CK30 with a TE 2000 application, you must order the corresponding keypad overlay. Use the TE 2000 keypad overlays to enter the same keys that you can enter on a VT/ANSI keyboard, an IBM 5250 keyboard, or an IBM 3270 keyboard. The terminal emulation keypads also come with the same color-coded keys that are on the standard overlay.

For help using TE 2000 terminal emulation, see the TE 2000 Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Guide (P/N 977-055-008).

Configuring the CK30 by Scanning Bar Codes

You can change some of the configuration parameters of the CK30 by scanning Code 39 or Code 93 bar code labels containing configuration commands. This method is a fast and easy way to change just a few configuration parameters on a single CK30.

You can only change some of the configuration parameters by scanning bar codes. To configure all of the configuration parameters, use the Configuration Utility or send commands through the network to your CK30.

You can print and scan the bar code labels from the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual or you can create your own bar code labels. For help, see the Intermec Computer

Command Reference Manual.

You can also use Intermec’s EasySet software to print configuration labels you can scan to change your configuration settings. For more information, see the EasySet online help. EasySet is available from the Intermec Data Capture web site. There are some limitations on using EasySet labels to change symbology configuration settings. Please use an alternate method of configuration for setting up symbologies.

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30

For example, you can use the Beeper Volume configuration command to adjust the beep volume of the CK30. Scan this bar code label to set the volume to the lowest (quietest) level:

Beeper Volume Low

*$+BV1*

When you scan bar code configuration commands, the CK30 emits a series of beeps unless the volume is turned off. There are two beep sequences:

• One high beep means you scanned a valid configuration

command.

• Three low beeps means you scanned an invalid configuration

command.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 41

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30

Configuring the CK30 Through the Network

You can change the configuration parameters of the CK30 by sending commands through a host PC or through the network. If you are using a network, you can configure one or more CK30s at a time. If a CK30 has already been configured for your wireless network, you can remotely configure the CK30 by sending a command from an application on the host PC. 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 CK30 while configuring it from the host.

Configuring the CK30 in a UDP Plus Network

You can use the host computer to configure a CK30 in your wireless network. To send and receive configuration data or files, you need to write a host application that can communicate with the Intermec Application Server.

For help, see the appropriate Intermec Application Server user’s manual. You use the Terminal Message Format (TMF) protocol to send and receive transactions between the host application and the CK30.

To set up the Intermec Application Server

• Configure a peer-to-peer destination name for the host

application. Create a transaction ID, $NGCFGRSP, that will be routed to this destination name. The Intermec Application Server uses the transaction ID to route responses from the CK30 back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP is a special transaction ID that the server uses to forward configuration response data from a CK30.

All configuration responses are routed with the $NGCFGRSP transaction ID. The Intermec Application Server cannot keep track of 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 therefore both will receive all responses from all CK30s.

where:

CG is a TMF Configuration Get request.

$+ is the Change Configuration reader command.

BV is the Beeper Volume configuration command.

The CK30 returns this transaction to the host application.

Cg$+BV4

where:

Cg is a TMF Configuration Get response.

$+ is the Change Configuration reader command.

BV4 means the Beep Volume configuration command is

currently set to a value of 4, which is a very high beeper volume.

Synchronizing the CK30 System Time With a Time Server

It is important that the time on all of your CK30s 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 CK30 uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize with a network time server.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 45

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30

The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To synchronize the time on your CK30 with this time server, you must have a valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the CK30 system time with a corporate network server within your firewall that is SNTP capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you need to set the domain name in the registry.

Configuring the CK30 for Your Network

The CK30 is a versatile handheld computer that you can easily add to your wired or wireless data collection network. You can connect your CK30 to your network using:

• Serial communications

• 802.11b/g radio communications

• Ethernet communications

• Bluetooth™ radio communications

Configuring Serial Communications

The CK30 has a serial port to transfer data to and receive data from another device via RS-232 communications. You can also insert the CK30 into a communications dock to transmit data to and receive data from a host computer or PC using RS-232 communications.

Configuring Security

The CK30 provides four types of security for your wireless network:

• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

• 802.1x

• WEP

This section explains how to configure security on your wireless CK30. If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling Security” on page 73. Intermec always recommends that you implement security.

You must choose to use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your security solution. For details, see the next section, “Choosing Between Funk and Microsoft Security.”

If you want to extend the connectivity of your WLAN to remote servers, you can configure a virtual private network (VPN) to communicate through a dedicated server to a corporate network over the internet. For help setting up a VPN, see “Configuring a VPN” on page 73.

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30

If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x security, this section also assumes that your authentication server and authenticators are properly configured. For more information on 802.1x security, see the MobileLAN™ secure

802.1x Security Solution Installation Guide (P/N 073134) available at www.intermec.com.

Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft Internet Authentication Service (IAS) to issue certificates.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 55

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30

Choosing Between Funk and Microsoft Security

The CK30 provides both Funk and Microsoft security choices. Funk security is the default setting. Use the following sections to set security using either Funk or Microsoft as your security choice.

Both Funk and Microsoft offer similar features, but Funk security also offers these features:

• CCX v2.0 compliance

• Support for LEAP and TTLS

• Configuration of up to four profiles

If you want to use the default Funk security, you need to select a profile. For help, see the next section, “Selecting a Profile for Funk Security.”

If you want to use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security choice. For help, see “Selecting Microsoft as Your Security Choice” on page 57.

Selecting a Profile for Funk Security

You can define up to four profiles for Funk security. Different profiles let your CK30 communicate in different networks without having to change all of your security settings. For example, you may want to set up one profile for the manufacturing floor and one for the warehouse.

By default, the active profile is Profile 1.

To select a profile for Funk security

1 Press C and then B to open the System Main Menu. 2 Select the Configuration Utility. 3 Select Communications > 802.11 Radio > Funk Security. 4 Select Active Profile, choose a profile from the list, and press

7 Configure your security settings. 8 (Optional) Repeat this process for each profile you want to

define.

9 Select one profile as the active profile by selecting Active

Profile and choosing a profile from the list.

10 Save your settings.

Selecting Microsoft as Your Security Choice

The default security setting is Funk. If you want to use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security choice.

To select Microsoft security as your security choice

1 Press C and then B to open the System Main Menu. 2 Select the Configuration Utility. 3 Select Communications > 802.11 Radio > Security Choice. 4 From the Security Choice list, select Microsoft Security. 5 Press Enter. An alert box appears telling you that you must

save your settings and warm boot the CK30 for your new security choice to take effect.

6 Select Yes and press Enter.

Your CK30 warm boots and your new security choice is Microsoft security.

Configuring WPA Security

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced, interoperable Wi-Fi security that addresses many of the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Instead of WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for its data encryption method.

Currently, WPA satisfies some of the requirements in the IEEE

802.11i draft standard. When the standard is finalized, WPA will maintain forward compatibility.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 57

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30

WPA runs in Enterprise (802.1x) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode:

• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using

802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). That is, an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server) must authenticate each device before the device can communicate with the wireless network.

• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a

shared key between the access point and the CK30. WPAPSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an authentication server.

To use WPA security, you need:

• an authentication server (Enterprise mode only).

• an access point with an 802.11b/g radio that supports WPA.

• a CK30 with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA

security option.

The CK30 also supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) if you are using Funk security. WPA2 is a product certification available through the Wi-Fi Alliance that certifies wireless equipment is compatible with the 802.11i standard. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption.

WPA2 runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode:

• For WPA2-802.1x mode, WPA2 requires authentication in

two phases; the first is an open system authentication and the second uses 802.1x and an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication method.

• In PSK mode, WPA2 provides user authentication using a

shared key between the authenticator and the CK30. WPA2PSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an authentication server.

Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), also known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/passwordbased authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through an Ethernet hub or wireless network access point until it successfully authenticates itself.

The station must identify itself and prove that it is an authorized user before it is actually allowed to use the LAN. LEAP also delivers a session key to the authenticated station, so that future frames can be encrypted with a key that is different than keys used by others sessions

To use LEAP security, you need:

• a RADIUS server.

• Cisco access points.

LEAP security is not supported with Microsoft security.

To enable LEAP security on your CK30

1 Make sure you have selected Funk as your security choice.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a private network that uses a public network (Internet) to connect remote sites or users together. These networks use encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that data cannot be intercepted. The CK30 uses the Microsoft CE .NET Remote Access Service (RAS) to set up the VPN. You can configure the CK30 to use either Point-toPoint Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).

PPTP is a network protocol that adds a security infrastructure for the transfer of data from a remote CK30 to a private server, thus creating a VPN by using TCP/IP-based data networks. Like PPTP, L2TP also uses Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to encrypt data. L2TP uses Internet Protocol Security Protocol (IPSec) to enable a more secure VPN client connection from your CK30 to a remote server.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 83

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

You need these hardware and software components to use the Antares Migration Resource Kit:

• PC with at least 300MB of free disk space running Microsoft

Windows 2000/XP

• Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0 with Service

Pack 2

The Resource Kit is part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL), which is available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.

Installing Applications on the CK30

There are several ways you can package applications to install on the CK30:

• You can package your application as a cabinet (CAB) file.

• If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver

the EXE file.

• You can copy a directory structure that contains the

application, supporting files, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.

Intermec recommends using CAB files to install your applications. The CK30 uses standard Windows CE CAB files and will install third-party CAB files. Before the CK30 executes a CAB file, it marks the file as read-only so that it will not be deleted after installation. After the CAB file is extracted, the CK30 automatically saves any RAM-based changes you have made to the registry or file system so that they will persist through a cold boot. This process means that you will not have to reinstall your applications when your battery goes dead or you perform a cold boot.

You can have your CAB files place your application in any of these memory locations on the CK30:

• The RAM-based file store (anywhere in the root \ directory)

• The Flash File System (the CK_FFS folder)

• On the SD card (SDMMC folder)

84 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

Unless your application and additional data files are very large, you can place them in the RAM of the unit. They will automatically be backed up to the Flash File System (\CK_FFS\Persistent Copy folder). These files will be preserved through a cold boot, or a complete battery drain and accompanying cold boot. However, Intermec recommends that you place your applications files in the CK_FFS or SDMMC Disk folder.

If you have an SD card inserted in your CK30, it appears as the SDMMC Disk folder. This folder is the recommended location for placing your application install files.

There are several ways you can install files and applications on the CK30:

• ActiveSync

• SD Card

• FTP Server

• Wavelink Avalanche

• SmartSystems Console

The following sections explain how to use each one of these processes to install your application on the CK30.

Installing Applications Using ActiveSync

You can use ActiveSync to establish a connection between your PC and the CK30. ActiveSync allows you to transfer files, synchronize files, perform remote debugging, and other device management activities. ActiveSync is a free application available from the Microsoft web site.

To establish a partnership between your PC and the CK30, you need:

• a USB cable or a female-to-female null modem serial cable.

• an AD1 communications dock.

• ActiveSync version 3.7.1 or later.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 85

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

Installing ActiveSync and Establishing a Partnership

You can use either a USB cable or a serial cable to establish your initial partnership between the CK30 and your PC.

To install ActiveSync and establish a partnership

1 Download ActiveSync from the Microsoft web site and follow

the onscreen instructions for installing it on your PC. When the installation process is complete, the Get Connected dialog box appears.
