Chapter 1 — Using the CN30 Mobile Computer

Understanding the Status Lights

The status lights on the CN30 Computer turn on to indicate battery status or successful bar decodes. The battery lights and the battery screen icon work with each other to alert you to the status of your battery. If the battery light (under the right Scan button) comes on, check the status bar to see which battery icon appears on it. The battery may be critically low and need replacing. The Good Read light (green) above the display indicates when the CN30 Computer successfully decodes a bar code.

Scanning Bar Codes

Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.

Use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. The type of scanner you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. The CK60 Computer supports the scanning of 2D images. Plus, if you are using an integrated handle or a tethered scanner, the way you scan bar codes is different.When you unpack the CN30, these bar code symbologies are enabled:

Good Scan Light

Battery Light Flashes red on low battery condition

Code 39

•

• UPC/EAN

• PDF417 (if supported)

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the computer.

Use the Intermec Settings to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner.

14 CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Scanning with the 2D Area Imager

The CN30 Computer has the 2D area imager, which provides the ability to scan 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scanning where you can position the CN30 Computer in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the 2D area imager is very similar to taking a picture with a digital camera.

1 Press (I) to turn on the CN30 Computer.

2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CN30 Computer steady a few inches from the label.

3 Press the Scan button on the keypad or pull the trigger on a handle and center the red aiming beam over the bar code label. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is further away.

When the CN30 Computer successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high beep and the green Good Read light turns on briefly.

4 Release the Scan button.

Chapter 1 — Using the CN30 Mobile Computer

If you have problems scanning a bar code with the 2D imager, try following some of these tips to improve the performance of your imager:

• Set Lighting mode to Illum LED Priority.

• Keep your hand as steady as possible while scanning a label.

• Make sure that Aimer LED Duration is set to zero.

• Position the imager as close to the bar code as possible while still being able to capture the entire bar code.

• Enable only the bar codes that you need to use every day.

Use Intermec Settings to configure these imager commands. For help using Intermec Settings, see “Configuring the CN30 Computer With Intermec Settings” on page 46. For more information on the commands and their parameters, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N

073529) via the Intermec web site. See “Before You Begin” for information

Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then, use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For example, you can easily share your device with another by assigning your appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that project.

Note: In Month View, the day ofan appointmentassigned to the Holiday category appears in red.

This day was assigned the Holiday category.

What’s an All Day Event?

An appointment can either be a normal appointment or an all day event, which lasts the full day or spans many days. Examples include a trade show, a vacation, or a seminar. You can also use all day events to schedule an annual event, such as a birthday or anniversary. In this case, change the Status box to Free (you may need to scroll to see it) so that it does not show time as busy in your calendar. All day events do not occupy blocks of time in Calendar; they appear in banners at the top of the calendar.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

To switch to Inbox on your CN30 Mobile Computer, tap Start > Inbox. You can receive Internete-mail messages and SMS messages in Inbox. Internet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your Internet service provider (ISP)or your employer. SMS messages are sent and received through your wireless phone service provider by usinga phone number as the message address. You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, or by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3)or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4)mail server. You need to set up an e-mail account for eachmethod that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set up by default. The ActiveSync folder on your CN30 Mobile Computer stores messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desk-top. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left, under the navigation bar)in the Inbox message list.

With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the device Inbox and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail Messages”below.

CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 33

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5. 0

When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or a modem or Ethernet card to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connected. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line connection. For more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server”on page

75.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

After selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages are synchronized as partof the generalsynchronization process. During synchronization:

• S Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your CN30 Mobile Computer. (Note that you can onlysynchronize information directlywithan Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.)By default, you receive messages from the last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachmentsof lessthan100 KB in size.

• S Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.

• S The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your CN30 Mobile Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the next time you synchronize.

• S Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchro

• nized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktopor select Start > Help > Connections to see Connections Help.

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders

Each e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders:Inbox,Outbox, Deleted Items,Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Inbox options you have chosen.

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync,SMS,POP3, or IMAP4.

• If you use ActiveSync,

• e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook automatically synchronize with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you

34 CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5.0

move two messages fromthe Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop.

• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.

• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies ofa message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the CN30 Mobile Computer.

• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mailmessages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your CN30 Mobile Computer or desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename or delete folders when connected.

For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Tools > Manage Folders.

Connecting to a Mail Server

In addition to synchronizinge-mailmessages with your desktop, you can sendandreceive e-mail messages byconnecting to an e-mailserver usinga modem or network card connected to your CN30 Mobile Computer. You need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mailserver. For more information, see “Getting Connected” on page .

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the CN30 Mobile Computer Inbox folder, messages in the CN30 Mobile Computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the email server are removed from the CN30 Mobile Computer Inbox folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on your CN30 Mobile Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your CN30 Mobile Computer.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mailserver and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

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

1 Suspend the CN30 Computer and remove its Secure Digital storage card.

2 Using a Secure Digital Adapter card, place the Secure Digital storage card in your PC card drive, then create a subdirectory on the PCMCIA Secure Digital drive in which to store your application.

3 Use the CEImager application to add the autorun system to the storage card. See the Software Tools User’s Manual to learn about CEImager.

4 Copy your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers to the subdirectory created on the Secure Digital storage card.

5 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 carriage return linefeed combination. There may be multiple run statements in the file.

6 Remove the Secure Digital storage card from your PC and reinstall it into the CN30 Computer, then warm-boot the CN30 Computer 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.

Updating the System Software

You can use the Intermec Developer’s Library CD to reinstall or update the operating system software on the CN30 Computer. For more information, contact your Intermec representative.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

Migrating from Another Computer

As you migrate from another computer to a CN30 Computer, you need to consider when converting other computer applications to run on the CN30 Computer, most APIs should work without changes. A few exceptions:

• Other computers may use the “\Storage Card” folder for nonvolatile storage. You may need to change the application to store data onto the “SDMMC Disk” folder instead of the “\Storage Card” folder if a Secure Digital storage card is present in the system.

• Arrow and tab keys may be reversed from other computers. Keyboard remapping is available on the CN30 Computer should you need to map these keys like that of the other computer (see page 36).

Installing Applications Using the FTP Server

The CN30 has a built-in FTP server that connects to a network through the 802.11b/g radio or Ethernet. You can use the server to transfer your application file to the CN30. Another benefit of using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to automate the process of copying your files to the CN30. This option is useful when you need to send files to a large number of CN30s.

Installing Applications Using Wavelink Avalanche

You can use the Wavelink Avalanche™ device management system to install applications on all of your wireless CN30s. The CN30 ships with the Avalanche Enabler already loaded on it. Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a warm boot), the CN30 attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CN30 connects to the agent, the Agent determines whether an update is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.

To use Avalanche to remotely manage the CN30

1 Install software packages and updates for the CN30 using the Avalanche Administrative Console.

2 Schedule the CN30 updates or manually initiate an update using the Avalanche Administrative Console.

For more information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact your local Intermec representative or visit the Wavelink web site at www.wavelink.com.

Cabinet File Installation

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

CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 59

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

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 CN30 Computer, 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 CN30 Computer. 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 CN30 Computer. This method is on the Intermec Devel- oper’s Library CD, see its Software Tools User’s Manual for information.

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

•

Chapter 4 — Network Support

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 WLAN.

In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a shared key

between the access point and the CN30. 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)

•

Note: You can also use a MobileLAN access point with software release

1.80 or later as an authentication server. For help, see the system manual for

your access point.
