About the 70 Series Mobile Computers

The ergonomically designed Intermec 70 Series Mobile Computers are
built on the Microsoft

®

Windows® Mobile 6.5 operating system. They
are lightweight, easy-to-use, and run most software developed for the
Windows Mobile platform, including standalone, client-server, and
browser-based applications.

The 70 Series family of computers consists of four different models:
the CN70, CN70e, CK70 and CK71. T he CN70 and CN70e have the
same features except that the CN70e offers extended environmental
specifications and a larger keypad for data-intensive applications. The
CK70 and CK71 have most of the same features, but the CK71 offers a
choice of imager options and does not offer phone support.
Throughout this manual, all versions of the mobile computer are
referred to as 70 Series unless information is specific to a particular
model of computer.

In most of the user’s manual, pictures of the CN70 and CK70 represent
the four models of the 70 Series computers.

Using GPS

The 70 Series computers come equipped with an integrated

(NMEA) data strings to GPS applications.

Chapter 5 — Using GPS

About the Integrated GPS on Your Computer

Intermec recommends that you use the GPS Intermediate Driver
(GPSID) instead of directly accessing the GPS hardware. The GPSID is
a Microsoft software component that interacts between applications
and the GPS hardware. The GPSID supports Extended Ephemeris,
which enhances GPS performance by:

• reducing the amount of time it takes your GPS receiver to acquire

a fix.

• eliminating the need to obtain precise satellite data information

from the GPS satellites.

As a Microsoft software component, the GPSID also:

• allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS data

stream.

• provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to

recognize and parse NMEA syntax.

Using the GPSID Installed on the Computer

To use the GPSID installed on your mobile computer, you need to
configure the GPSID settings.

To configure your GPSID settings:

1 Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS. The GPS Settings

screen appears with Programs selected.

Improving GPS Performance on the Computer

Use the iGPS application to improve the performance of the GPS on
your CN70, CN70e, or CK70 computer. The integrated GPS module
has three operating modes:

• Standalone

• MS assisted

• gpsOneXTRA™

In Standalone mode, the GPS module relies solely on GPS satellites to
determine position.

In MS Assisted mode, the comptuer can determine position without
receiving GPS signals directly from satellites; instead, the computer
receives GPS signals and information provided by the cellular network.
Even when the computer can receive a satellite signal, MS Assisted can
improve position accuracy and reduce the time to determine initial
position (Time-To-First-Fix). Check with your cell phone carrier for
availability and pricing for MS Assisted service.

Qualcomm’s gpsOneXTRA Assistance technology provides enhanced
operation for Standalone GPS. This option enables the UMTS-enabled
computer to automatically download a small assistance data file from
the XTRA servers through a brief internet access session.

Another option you can configure with iGPS is the fix interval. The fix
interval defines how often the GPS should provide new information.
Larger intervals use less power, but many applications require small
intervals to work correctly. The default for fix interval is 4.

Note: Anytime you change the GPS settings, the phone module will
reset automatically. It will not affect the functionality of the computer.

To improve GPS performance:

1) Go to Start > Settings > System > iGPS.

2) In the Fix Interval tab, enter a value for the fix interval. The default

setting is 4 and should be optimized for most applications.

3) Tap the Fix Type tab and select Standalone (1), MS assisted (2), or

Enable gpsOneXTRA (check box).

4) Click OK.

How to Configure the Computer

You can configure many parameters on the 70 Series computer such as
the bar code symbologies it decodes or the network settings. The
values you set for these parameters determine how the computer
operates.

There are several ways to configure the 70 Series computer:

• Directly on the computer. You can use Intermec Settings directly

on the 70 Series computer to change only the settings on that
computer. For more information, see

on the Computer” on page 60.

• Remotely using Intermec SmartSystems Foundation. When you

use SmartSystems, you can remotely configure all your 70 Series
computers as well as other SmartSystems-enabled Intermec
computers and peripherals. For more information, see

Intermec Settings Remotely With SmartSystems Foundation”
on page 67.

• You can use a third-party device management product that

supports the 70 Series computer and Intermec Settings, such as
Soti MobiControl or Wavelink Avalanche. For more information,
visit the Device Management page on the Intermec web site.

• You can use imager configuration bar codes to enable or disable

symbologies, reset to factory defaults, and set predefined imager
modes. For more information, see

Codes” on page 77.

You can also configure the computer with configuration bundles that
you create using SmartSystems Foundation. For more information,
see the SmartSystems Foundation online Help.

About Network Communications

You can easily add the 70 Series to your wireless or wired data
collection network. You can connect your computer using:

• 802.11b/g radio communications.

• Ethernet communications.

• Bluetooth communications.

• USB and serial communications.

Configuring 802.11b/g Radio Communications

Make sure all components with antennas are at least 30 cm (1 ft)
apart when power is applied. Failure to comply could result in
equipment damage.

The 70 Series computer contains an 802.11 radio to transfer data using
wireless communications and supports the TCP/IP network protocols.
This section of the manual assumes that your wireless network is set
up, including your access points.

68 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 6 — Configuring the Computer

To use wireless communications in a TCP/IP network:

1 Configure these parameters on each mobile computer in the

network:

• Network name (SSID)

• IP settings (if not using DHCP)

2 Make sure the mobile computer is talking to the network and that

the network can see your mobile computer. For more information,
see

• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

• 802.1x

• WEP

This section explains how to configure wireless security on your 70
Series. If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling Security” on

page 90. Intermec recommends that you always implement security.

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

Between Microsoft and Funk Security” on page 77.

76 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 6 — Configuring the Computer

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.

Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication
server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft
Active Directory® to issue certificates.

Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security

The 70 Series supports both Funk and Microsoft security, which
dynamically select wireless networks based on your preferences. The
option you choose depends on your network security needs.

• If you are using the 70 Series in a static environment that requires

a high level of security, you should use Funk security, which offers
CCX v4.0 compliance, support for LEAP and TTLS, and
configuration for up to four profiles.

• To use Funk security, you need to select a profile. For help, see the

next section, “Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security.”

• If you are primarily using the 70 Series to connect to Wi-Fi

hotspots, you may want to use Microsoft security.

To use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security
choice. For help, see

Choice” on page 82.

“Selecting Microsoft as Your Security

Selecting a Funk Security Profile

You can define up to four profiles for Funk security. Different profiles
let your 70 Series 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.

Note: You can also use the Profile Wizard to configure most wireless
security settings. To start the Profile Wizard, tap the iConnect icon in
the lower right corner of the Today screen and select Tools > Wireless
Settings.

private key. They contain a public key and the entity name that owns
the key. Each certificate is issued by a certificate authority.

To import a root certificate:
