Learning Software Build Versions

The Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased when a cold-boot is performed. It may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.

To check to see if your CK60 Computer has the latest PSM build or the latest operating system build, double-tap the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop, then scroll down for the latest information displayed beneath the CK60 Version Information title.

Chapter 1 — Using the CK60 Handheld Computer

Resetting Your CK60 Computer

You seldom need to perform a warm-boot or a cold-boot on the CK60 Computer. The CK60 Computer currently uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot process.

In some cases where the CK60 Computer completely stops responding, an application is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CK60 Computer, it may be necessary to perform either a warm-boot or a cold-boot.

Performing a Warm-Boot on the CK60 Computer

If your charged CK60 Computer does not resume after pressing I, or if the computer or an application is locked up, you may need to do a warm-boot.

•Press and hold I for ten seconds. The CK60 Computer tells you it is

performing a warm-boot, then comes back up to the start screen.

Performing a Cold-Boot on the CK60 Computer

If the CK60 Computer or an application is locked up and does not respond to a warm-boot, do the following.

1 Release the lower clip of the hand strap.

CK60 Handheld Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual 3

Chapter 1 — Using the CK60 Handheld Computer

2 Remove the battery pack.

3 Press the reset button (shown in the following illustration).

4 Reinstall the battery pack.

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.

Press this reset button with your stylus.

Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button. You may damage the reset button.

Avertissement: Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion d’un rayon laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser lorsque celui-ci est en opération. Si vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser, cela peut endommager votre vue.

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 CK60 Computer, these bar code symbologies are enabled:

•Code39

•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.

Scanning with the 2D Area Imager

The CK60 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 CK60 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.

4 CK60 Handheld Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual

Supported Devices

Chapter 1 — Using the CK60 Handheld Computer

To scan a bar code label with the 2D area imager 1 Press I to turn on the CK60 Computer.

2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK60

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 CK60 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.

The CK60 Computer should connect the following scanner models: 1551, 1553, 1555; ScanPlus 1800SR, 1800ST, 1800VT; Scan Image 1470; SR1 and SG1, SF51. There are a number of different scan engines covered by these models, including RFID and XLR scan engines. Model 1555 and Scan Image 1470 are supported as input devices only; configuration of these models are accomplished by scanning labels.

Using the Ambient Light Sensor

The ambient light sensor automatically turns off the display lighting as surrounding light increases to conserve your CK60 Computer battery power.

As configured from the factory, the ambient light sensor is disabled. To enable the ambient light sensor and change its settings, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-tap the Backlight icon, then tap the right arrow to scroll to and tap the Both Power tab. Make your selections, then tap OK to exit this applet.

This assumes the backlight setting once the CK60

Computer is powered on.

This turns off the ambient light sensor.

With this, the backlight is disabled in normal environments. With this, the backlight is disabled in bright environments.

CK60 Handheld Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Using the CK60 Handheld Computer

Using the Battery

The CK60 Computer uses a 17.3 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable LithiumIon (LiIon) battery. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the CK60 Computer. When you change the battery, a backup battery (super capacity) maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes.

The LiIon battery pack 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.

Avertissement: Le paquet de piles d’ions de lithium qui est utilisé dans cet appareil peut presenter un risque feu ou un risque chimique de brûlure s’il est maltraité. Il ne faut pas le désassembler, le réchauffer à une température plus élevée que 100°C (212°F) ou l’incinérer.

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

Attention: Si la batterie n’est pas remplacée immédiatement, des données ou applications importantes risquent d’être perdues.

Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec 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 need to replace your battery more often than someone who uses an internal scanner.

The CK60 Computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power storage device, that protects state for up to ten minutes. This is to give you time to replace the main battery pack before state is lost. Be sure to

put the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.

You can configure the battery power fail level 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 ten minutes at room temperature if the main battery remains in the handheld computer, using the Power control panel applet (see page 8). The state and time are lost if:

• The battery discharges beyond this level.

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

Changing and Installing the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the LiIon battery before you install it in your CK60 Computer; and that you take at least 20 minutes to initially charge the backup battery before the backup system is fully functional.

6 CK60 Handheld Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual

To charge the battery

Either insert the battery into the CK60 Quad Battery Charger or place the CK60 Computer with battery installed in a CK60 Single Dock, a CK60 Single Dock with modem, or a CK60 Multidock. The battery charge time is four hours or less on any of these docks if the temperature is within the battery charging range.

You could also use a CK60 Power Adapter to keep the CK60 Computer on full power.

For maximum efficiency, store your CK60 Computer on external power with which to charge your batteries.

For more information on these accessories, see “Accessories for the CK60 Computer” on page 17.

To install the battery, insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery into the CK60 Computer and snap the battery into place.

Developing Applications for the CK60 Computer

CK60 Computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Embedded Visual C++. Use this section to understand what you need to:

• Develop a new application for the CK60 Computer.

• Convert an application from an older computer to a CK60 application.

Use the Intermec SDK to develop new applications to run on the CK60 Computer. The Intermec SDK is a library of C++ language functions you can use to create applications for the CK60 Computer.

See the SDK online user’s manual for help developing your application. The Intermec CK60 SDK User’s Manual contains hardware and software requirements, all of the functions that are supported by the CK60 Computer, and how to use these functions.

The SDK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL), which is available on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

You need these hardware and software components to use the Intermec SDK:

• Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher

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

• For native C++ development, Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version

4.0

• For Windows CD 5.0, eVC 4.0 SP4 is required

• 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)

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

• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia PC specification

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

• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

Converting Older Computer Applications to CK60 Applications

If you have an existing application that you would like to run on the CK60 Computer, you can use the PSK to convert that application. The Intermec PSK is a set of libraries and tools that you use to convert your existing C applications into C++ applications for use on the CK60 Computer.

As you migrate from another computer to a CK60 Computer, you need to consider when converting other computer applications to run on the CK60 Computer, most APIs should work without changes, with the exception that arrow and tab keys may be reversed from other computers. Keyboard

38 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

remapping is available on the CK60 Computer should you need to map these keys like that of the other computer.

You need these hardware and software components to use the PSK:

• a PC with at least 1MB of free disk space running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP

• Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0 with Service Pack 2

• Intermec SDK and development tools

• Intermec PSK, which contains these files and utilities:

• PSK functions library

• Header files

• Example files

The PSK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL), which is available on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

Packaging Applications for the CK60 Computer

Use any of these methods to package applications for installation:

• 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 the following when choosing a location into which to store your application:

• In the basic CK60 Computer, there are two built-in storage options: the Object Store and the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a Disk on Chip (DOC) Flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the Flash File Store region.

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

• 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.

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 39

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

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. Intermec recommends using CAB files to install your applications. The CK60 Computer uses standard Windows CE CAB files and does install third-party CAB files.

For the CK60 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 CK60 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 CK60 Computer. This method is on the Intermec Devel- oper’s Library CD, see its Software Tools User’s Manual for information.

Installing Applications on the CK60 Computer

You can use either the Microsoft ActiveSync application or SD storage cards to install applications on the CK60 Computer.

Installing Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSync

You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection between your PC and the CK60 Computer. Microsoft ActiveSync transfers files, synchronizes files, performs remote debugging, and other device management activities.

See Chapter 2, “Windows CE” for information about the Microsoft ActiveSync application as provided by Microsoft Corporation.

This can be a serial, a USB, or an 802.11b/g Microsoft ActiveSync connection. Files can be copied using Windows Explorer on a PC or a laptop computer. This is usually good when updating a few CK60 Computers.

These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync was installed onto your PC and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter 2, “Windows CE” for an URL from which to download the latest application.

1 Connect the CK60 Computer to a PC using a USB or serial cable. You

may have to detach, then reattach the cable to “wake” the connection.

2 Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSync

application to signal a connection to the CK60 Computer. If necessary, select File > Get Connected to initiate a connection or detach, then reattach the USB or serial cable.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

3 Click Explore to access the “Mobile Device” folder on your unit.

4 From your PC, select Start > Windows Explorer, then browse the

“C:\Intermec\CK60 Mgmt Tools\CabFiles” path for any CAB files needed for your CK60 Computer. Select the appropriate file, right-click the file for a pop-up menu, then select Copy.

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

files located on the CK60 Computer, do a right-click for a pop-up menu, then select Paste.

6 When all of the files are pasted, perform a warm-boot on the CK60

Computer. When the computer reboots, 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.

Installing Applications Using a Secure Digital Card

If you have an SD card for your CK60 Computer, this is the best place for you to install applications.

1 If you are using an SD card reader, suspend the CK60 Computer,

remove its SD card, and place it in the reader. For help, see “Using the Secure Digital Card” on page 15.

2 Copy your application file to the SD card. If you are using Microsoft

ActiveSync to copy the files to the SD card, place the application in the “\Storage Card” folder on the CK60 Computer.

3 If using an SD card reader, insert the SD card back into the CK60.

4 Navigate to the “\Storage Card” folder and run your application. After

your application is installed, you can run it from the Programs menu.

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 41

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

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 CE. It is assumed that you understand the Microsoft CE startup procedures and are familiar with how Microsoft components start up.

You can configure the various media used in the Windows CE 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.

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\SDMemory] "Folder"="Storage Card"

PreShell

PostShell

Disk On Chip

[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC] "Folder"="DiskOnChip"

During normal Windows CE 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 CE 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.

PreShell (PRESHELL.EXE) is launched prior to the Microsoft Shell and must execute a SignalStartup call before the Microsoft Shell launches.

PreShell searches the “\Flash File Store\2577” directory for an executable of the same name. If one exists, that application is launched. This application can do what a customer desires prior to launching the Microsoft Shell. This feature allows end customers to make their own application the shell of the system. If desired, do not exit the custom shell nor call SignalStarted.

PostShell (POSTSHELL.EXE) can launch an application after the Microsoft Shell has launched. There are utility applications that exist that can take advantage of “hooking” the startup for maintenance, for example.

42 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual

RunAutoRun

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

PostShell searches the “\Flash File Store\2577” directory for an executable of the same name. If one exists, that application is launched instead. This application can do what a customer desires and is launched after the Microsoft Shell starts initialization. The Microsoft Shell does not require complete initialization before this application begins and that may cause some application or system issues. These issues are expected and are considered normal for those developing PostShell applications. The application must test if the APIs it requires are available.

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\Startup” folder, checks for AutoExec (AUTOEXEC.EXE) in a “\2577” folder on a mounted volume in this order:

• Secure Digital (SD)

• Object Store - may be non-volatile storage or RAM

• Disk on Chip - may map as Object Store

• Flash File Store - may map as Object Store. This is the default location for the AutoExec program in Intermec systems. Intermec system applications are started from this folder. The ordering of mounted volumes overrides this feature.

The folder names used for the mounted volumes above 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. If AutoExec is present in the “\2577” folder on any of these media, it executes the program only on the first media it is found on and no other.

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.EXE process completes, Run Autorun then checks for the existence of AutoRun (AUTORUN.EXE) and executes this program from the first media it is found on. This order is the same as what is used by AutoExec.

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 43

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

AutoRun is reserved for customer use to configure application launch sequences. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab, as well as any customer programs that added to the AUTOUSER.DAT file and is described on the next page. The hierarchy of these files is shown below.

autoexec autorun

runautorun

autocopy autoreg foldercopy

autocab

applications

autocab

AutoExec

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

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

-F Overrides the data file to use. This must be a fully qualified name. Default is “autoexec.dat” in the same loca-

-LOG Set to any value logs activity to AUTOEXEC.TXT (in the same location as the AUTOEXEC.EXE pro-

-W Pauses the autoexec process by calling sleep for the number of seconds specified by Z. Z is an integer value.

; Suspend processing any commands until event called MyEventName is signaled. WAITFOR "MyEventName"

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 45

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

AutoRun

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

AutoRun supports the following script commands in AUTOUSER.DAT and AUTORUN.DAT.

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 which allows you to specify path names or file names that contain white space. Note that 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 (AUTOCOPY.EXE) copies or moves files from one location to another. It has no user interface and is configured through command line arguments. It has support for the following parameters, in no particular order:

Usage:

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

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

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

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

-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.

46 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual

indicates enabled, 0 is disabled.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

The return code from the process uses the 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 CE registry. It has no user interface and is configured through command line arguments.

Usage:

AutoReg [-D] [-HKey] [-Q] “filename”

-D Deletes the registry file after successfully loading it. This allows for systems that have hives implemented.

-H Saves the 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.

The return code from the process uses the 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. One example of a tool is the Microsoft Remote Registry Editor.

AutoCab

AutoCab (AUTOCAB.EXE) extracts files, registry settings, and shortcuts from Windows CE cabinet (.CAB) files. The Windows CE startup sequence invokes AutoCab as a part of AutoExec and AutoRun. During the Windows CE 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.

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 47

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

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 cold-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.

Usage:

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

Command line switches are described below.

-ChkRst= Set to 1 to configure AutoCab to check for the Reset flag after all CAB files are installed. This file is cre-

-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 a log file in the same folder that AutoCab is running. Useful for debugging CAB

-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 message box on errors. Useful for debugging CAB installation.

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

enabled). 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

Customizing How Applications Load on the CK60 Computer

If you have several processes that you need running in a specific order as the CK60 Computer turns on, you can use the AutoRun system to customize the way applications load. For compatibility with other Intermec computers, you can place a copy of AUTORUN.EXE in the same folder as your AUTORUN.DAT file but it is not required.

48 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

To create and install the AUTORUN.DAT file on your CK60 Computer

1 On the CK60 Computer, create a folder called “2577.”

2 On your desktop, open the Notepad application.

3 Write commands for AUTORUN.DAT using these supported script

commands:

Script Command Description

EXEC Launches a specified program and waits up to 10 minutes for it to complete.

CALL Processes a specified file of commands, returns. When you use the CALL command, the

execution of the current file pauses while a new file that follows the same set of commands executes. Once the new file completes executing, AutoRun.exe continues processing the current file.

CHAIN Processes a specified file of commands and does not return. This command calls another file

interface is hidden initially.

4 Save this Notepad file as AUTORUN.DAT.

5 Copy the AUTORUN.DAT file to the “\2577” folder on your CK60

Computer.

During every boot, the system scans for AUTORUN.DAT in the “\2577” folder.

Here is a sample AUTORUN.DAT file that runs a dialer application and connects to a VPN:

EXEC “\Program Files\My Dialer\Dialer.exe” 348-2600 EXEC “\Program Files\My VPN\Connect.exe” MyDomain

Configuring CK60 Parameters

You can configure many parameters on the CK60 Computer, 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 CK60 Computer.

Configuring with the Setup Assistant

When first setting up the CK60 Computer, use the Setup Assistant to set or enable basic network parameters and connect your CK60 Computer to the network.

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 49

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

The Setup Assistant guides you through setting the following basic network parameters:

• Date and time (including time zone)

•SSID (Network name)

• DHCP server or IP address, subnet mask, and default router

• Primary and secondary DNS or WINS addresses

•Device name

To set other parameters, use the Intermec Settings control panel applet or another configuration method. The Setup Assistant runs on the CK60 Computer the first time you turn on the computer.

After the Setup Assistant is complete, the CK60 Computer should communicate with the network. A network connection icon appears in the taskbar.

Synchronizing the CK60 Computer System Time with a Time Server

It is important that the time on all of your CK60 Computers 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 CK60 Computer 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 CK60 with this time server, you must have a valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the CK60 Computer 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 command name in the registry.

Configuring the CK60 Computer through the Network

You can change the configuration parameters of the CK60 Computer by sending commands through a host computer or through the network. If you are using a network, you can configure one or more CK60 Computers at a time. You can remotely configure the wireless or Ethernet CK60 Computer 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 Command Reference Manual.

Note: You can continue running an application on the CK60 Computer while configuring it from the host computer.

Configuring the CK60 Computer in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network

You can use the host computer to configure a wireless or Ethernet CK60 Computer in your TCP/IP network. To send and receive configuration data, you need to write a host application that can communicate with the

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

CK60 Computer directly through an access point or through the Ethernet network. Use the TMF protocol to send and receive transactions between the host application and the CK60 Computer.

To set up the host computer, verify that you can communicate with the CK60 Computer.

To set up the application, prepare and write a host application that can communicate with the Intermec Application Server and send transactions to and receive transactions from the CK60 Computer in this format:

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 CK60 Computer

to the host computer.

CS Configuration Set request sent from the host application.

Cs Configuration Set response sent from the CK60 Computer

to the host computer.

commands are the reader and configuration commands that you want to set on

the CK60 Computer or the current value you want to retrieve from the CK60 Computer. To save configuration changes in flash memory, send the reader command .+1 as the last command. for a list of all commands, see the Command Reference Manual.

Example

In the host application, you want to get the current values of two configuration commands from the CK60 Computer. 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.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

Configuring the CK60 Computer in a UDP Plus Network

You can use the host computer to configure a CK60 Computer in your wireless or Ethernet network. To send and receive configuration data or files, you need to write a host application that can communicate with an Intermec Application Server (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 CK60 Computer.

To set up the Intermec Application Server, configure a peer-to-peer destination name for the host application. Create a transaction ID, $NGCFGRSP, that routes to this destination name. The Intermec Application Server uses the transaction ID to route responses from the CK60 Computer back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP is a special transaction ID that the server uses to forward configuration response data from a CK60.

All configuration responses are routed with the $NGCFGRSP transaction ID. The Intermec Application Server 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 therefore both receive all responses from all CK60 Computers.

To set up the host computer, verify that the host computer can communicate with the Intermec Application Server.

Configuring the CK60 Computer for Your Network

The CK60 Computer is a versatile handheld computer that you can add to your wired or wireless data collection network. You can connect your CK60 Computer to your network using:

• Serial communications

• 802.11b/g radio communications

• Ethernet communications

• Bluetootht radio communications

Configuring Serial Communications

The CK60 Computer has a serial port to transfer data to and receive data from another device via RS-232 communications. You can also insert the CK60 Computer into a communications dock to transmit data to and receive data from a host computer or PC using RS-232 communications. The serial cable and the communications dock are sold separately. For more information on accessories, see page 17.

To use serial communications with your CK60 Computer, connect the CK60 Computer to the serial port of another device, by:

• connecting the CK60 Serial Port to the serial port of the other device using the 26-pin to DB9-pin serial cable adapter and a female-to-female null modem RS-232 cable;

• connecting the CK60 Dock to the serial port of the other device using a DB9-pin to DB9-pin serial adapter cable, then insert the CK60 Computer into the dock; or

• connecting a USB cable between the USB connector in the back of the CK60 Dock and your desktop computer.

Configuring 802.11b/g Radio Communications

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

Attention: Assurez-vous que la distance entre tous les éléments avec antennes soit d’au moins 30 centimètres (un pied) avant de faire la connexion avec l’alimentation électrique, faute de quoi vous risquez d’endommager votre installation.

The wireless CK60 Computer has an internal 802.11b/g radio to transfer data using wireless communications. This section of the manual assumes that you have already set up your wireless communications network including your access points. If you are using a UDP Plus network, you also need to have your Intermec Application Server communicating with a host computer.

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 53

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

Your CK60 Computer supports these network protocols:

•TCP/IP

•UDP Plus

The next sections explain the parameters you need to configure for the CK60 Computer to work in your wireless network.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a TCP/IP Network

In a TCP/IP network, the CK60 Computer communicates with a host computer directly using TCP/IP. The access point acts as a bridge to allow communications between the wired network and the wireless network.

To use wireless communications in a TCP/IP network, configure the Network Name (SSID), Host IP Address, IP Settings (if not using DHCP), and Network Port parameters on each CK60 Computer in the network.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a UDP Plus Network

In a UDP Plus network, the CK60 Computer communications with a host computer through the Intermec Application Server.

The Intermec Application Server translates UDP Plus packets on the wireless network into TCP/IP packets on the wired network and vice versa. The access point acts as a bridge to allow communications between the wired network and the wireless network.

To use wireless communications in a UDP Plus network, configure the Network Name (SSID), Controller IP Address, IP Settings (if not using DHCP), and Network Port parameters on each CK60 in the network.

Configuring Ethernet Communications

You can use the CK60 Computer directly in an Ethernet network if you have ordered the Ethernet option on your CK60 Computer and you insert it into a CK60 Dock. The communications dock as an Ethernet connector that makes it possible for the CK60 Computer to communicate with your Ethernet network.

To use the CK60 Computer in an Ethernet network, configure the Network Name (SSID), Host IP Address, IP Settings (if not using DHCP), and Network Port parameters on each CK60 Computer in the network. If required for your network, set the Primary and Secondary DNS Server and Primary and Secondary WINS Server parameters on each CK60 Computer in the network.

Configuring Bluetooth Radio Communications

“Bluetooth” is the name given to a technology standard using short-range radio links, intended to replace the cables connecting portable and fixed electronic devices. The standard defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to communicate with each other, with minimal user effort.

54 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

Its key features are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low cost. The technology offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone network, and the internet for a host of home appliances and portable hand-held devices located

up to 100m (328ft) apart (in a line of sight environment).

Local Bluetooth

The Local Bluetooth control panel applet displays the device name, the device address, enables or disables Bluetooth communications, and sets discoverable and connectable settings. This also provides a versions screen for various Bluetooth items in the system.

Use this applet to enable Bluetooth communications before you configure radio communications.

1 Select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-tap the Local Blue-

tooth icon.

2 Tap the top button to On, then tap OK to close the applet.

Tap this to “On”

Device Name Provides the “friendly” name of your CK60 Computer.

Device Address Universally unique and cannot be changed - read-only.

Discoverable Check this to ensure your CK60 is discoverable to other Bluetooth devices. The default is for the

CK60 Computer to be undiscoverable as it does not offer any incoming services out of the box.

Connectable Check this to allow other Bluetooth devices to connect to your CK60 Computer. The default is for

the CK60 Computer to be unconnectable as it does not offer any incoming services out of the box.

Class of Device This sets how a CK60 appears to other devices during a device discovery. The default is “0x920100”

which specifies that the CK60 is capable of services of information, object transfer, and networking.

Wireless Printing

The Wireless Printing control panel applet separates the task of wireless printing from other Bluetooth management items not relevant to this task.

Wireless Printing has a concept of the “current wireless printer.” This printer is the one to which the CK60 Computer makes a connection when the wireless printing COM port is opened. If there is no current wireless printer, there is no wireless printing COM port. Registration and deregistration of this COM port is controlled by BTCC. Use the Wireless Printing control panel applet to handle the COM port registration. Customer soft-

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 55

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

ware or other test applications can also use this applet to manage the COM port registration and deregistration.

The current wireless printer is stored in the registry and is registered and deregistered on Bluetooth stack load/unload. If the current wireless printer changes, the existing wireless printing COM port is deregistered, and the new one is registered instead. The registered COM port is stored in the registry as the “WPort.”

For more information on using Bluetooth communications, see the Wireless

Printing Development Guide available on the Intermec Developer’s Library CD or the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

Use any of the following methods to set the wireless printer:

• Use a Bluetooth device discovery to locate the remote device (page 56)

• Manually enter the remote Bluetooth Device Address (page 57)

• Use the Bluetooth Device Manager to choose from previously discovered printers (page 58)

Configuring Security

Use the next sections to understand how to configure each type of security on your wireless CK60 Computer. If you choose not to use security, see “Using Configuration Parameters” on page 90 for help.

If you are using 802.1x security, this sections also assumes that your authentication server and access points are properly configured.

Loading Certificates

If you choose to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) with WPA or 802.1x security, you need to have a unique client certificate on the CK60 Computer and a trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. If you choose to use PEAP, you need to load a root CA certificate. You can use a thirdparty CA to issue unique client certificates and a root certificate.

If your CA is on your WLAN, select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-tap the Certificates icon to access the Certificate control panel applet and obtain the certificates.

Note: Do not perform a cold-boot on the CK60 Computer. This resets the time and date.

Wireless Network

Your wireless adapter (network interface card) connects to wireless networks of two types: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks.

• Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network and the internet. Your CK60 Computer establishes a wireless connection to an access point, which links you to the rest of the network. When you connect to a network via an access point, you are using the 802.11b/g infrastructure mode.

• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more clients, even with no access point.

Each wireless network is assigned a name (or Service Set Identifier - SSID) to allow multiple networks to exist in the same area without infringement.

64 CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Terminology

Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer

Intermec Technologies recommends using security measures with wireless networks to prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure your privacy of transmitted data. The following are required elements for secure networks:

• Authentication by both the network and the user

• Authentication is cryptographically protected

• Transmitted data

There are many schemes available for implementing these features.

Below are terms you may encounter as you configure your wireless network:

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol)

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)

TKIP

(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

encryption

A block cipher, a type of symmetric key cipher that uses groups of bits of a fixed length - called blocks. A symmetric key cipher is a cipher that uses the same key for both encryption and decryption.

This is Cisco's version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco Airnet products.

802.11b/g uses this protocol to perform authentication. This is not necessarily an authentication mechanism, but is a common framework for transporting actual authentication protocols. Intermec provides a number of EAP protocols for you to choose the best for your network.

This protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs., which provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus overcoming most of the weak points of WEP. This encryption is more difficult to crack than the standard WEP. Weak points of WEP include:

• No Installation Vector (IV) reuse protection

• Weak keys

• No protection against message replay

• No detection of message tampering

• No key updates

With preconfigured WEP, both the client CK60 Computer and access point are assigned the same key, which can encrypt all data between the two devices. WEP keys also authenticate the CK60 Computer to the access point - unless the CK60 Computer can prove it knows the WEP key, it is not allowed onto the network.

WEP keys are only needed if they are expected by your clients. There are two types available: 64-bit (5-character strings, 12345) (default) and 128-bit (13-character strings, 1234567890123). Enter these as either ASCII (12345) or Hex (0x3132333435).

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User’s Manual 65

This is an enhanced version of WEP that does not rely on a static, shared key. It encompasses a number of security enhancements over WEP, including improved data encryption via TKIP and

802.11b/g authentication with EAP. WiFi Alliance security standard is designed to work with existing 802.11 products and to offer forward compatibility with 802.11i.

Second generation of WPA security. Like WPA, WPA2 provides enterprise and home Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that their data remains protected and that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard ratified in June 2004. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption and is eligible for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140-2 compliance.

TTLS (EAP-Tunneled TLS)

This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS (see page 75) but does not require certificates for every user. Instead, authentication servers are issued certificates. User authentication is done using a password or other credentials that are transported in a securely encrypted “tunnel” established using server certificates.

EAP-TTLS works by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel through which you present your credentials to the authentication server. Thus, inside EAPTTLS there is another inner authentication protocol that you must configure via Additional TTLS Settings.

Use “TTLS” to configure the use of EAP-TTLS as an authentication protocol, and select “Open,” “WPA,” “WPA2,” or “Network EAP” as an association mode.

To Enable TTLS with an Open Association (default configuration)

1 Set 8021x Security as “TTLS.”

2 Set Association to “Open.”

3 Skip Encryption as it is automatically set to “WEP.” See page 65 for

information about WEP encryption.

4 Enter your unique user name and password to use this protocol. Select

• Detect Rogue APs: Wireless NICs and APs associate based on the SSID configured for the NIC. Given an SSID, the BSSID with the strongest signal is often chosen for association. After association, 802.1x authentication may occur and during authentication credentials to uniquely identify a user - these are passed between the NIC and the AP.

The base 802.1x technology does not protect the network from “rogue APs.” These can mimic a legitimate AP to authentication protocols and user credentials. This provides illegal users ways to mimic legitimate users and steal network resources and compromise security.

Check this box to detect and report client behavior suspected of being rogue APs. Once a rouge AP is detected, your CK60 Computer no longer associates with that AP until you perform a warm boot.

Clear this box to solve AP connection problems that result when an AP gets put on the rogue AP list due to inadvertant failed authentications and not because it is a real rouge.
