dress, and IP settings (if not using DHCP) on each 700 Color Computer in the network.

2 Configure security. Tap Start > Settings >theSystem tab>theWire-

less Network icon to access the Profile Wizard for the 802.11b or

802.11b/g radio module. Go to Appendix A, “Configurable Settings,” for information.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a UDP Plus Network

In a UDP Plus network, the 700 Color Computer communicates 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 and wireless networks.

1 Configure the network name (SSID), controller IP address, and IP set-

tings (if not using DHCP), and controller port (set to 5555) on each 700 Color Computer in the network.

2 Configure security. Tap Start > Settings >theSystem tab>theWire-

less Network icon to access the Profile Wizard for the 802.11b or

AutoIP/DHCP

Automatic Private IP Addressing (AutoIP) is enabled by default in Windows Mobile 2003. To remain compatible with other versions of Pocket PC, this setting needs to be enabled. You can configure the registry settings in the following to set the required AutoIP/DHCP behavior:

S For Ethernet: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN9001\TcpIp

S Fot 802.11: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NETWLAN1\TcpIp

Other registry keys that can modify the behavior of AutoIP are as follows. You can find the appropriate settings and behavior of each of these keys in Microsoft Help.

S AutoInterval

S AutoMask

S AutoSubnet

S AutoIP

S AutoSeed

When a TCP/IP client cannot find a DHCP server, it generates an AutoIP address from the 169.254.xxx.xxx block. The client then tries to check f or a DHCP server every 15 seconds and if a DHCP server is found, the client drops the AutoIP address and uses the address from the DHCP server.

In the MSDN Windows CE documentation available out on the Microsoft Developer Network web site (www. msdn.com), see “Automatic Client Configuration” for more information on AutoIP.

To disable AutoIP, set the AutoCfg r egistry entry to “0.” If a DHCP server cannot be found, instead of using AutoIP, the system will display the “Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address” message.

Note: If you try to disable AutoIP using a CAB file to set the registry value for AutoIP, remember to set the EnableDHCP value to “1” to keep DHCP enabled

Note: To extend the number of attempts that a DHCP client makes to get a DHCP address, use the DhcpRetryDialogue and DhcpMaxRetry registry settings.

Note: Change the AutoInterval registry key value to make the client retry more often to obtain a DHCP address.

Activation

Note: Set the date and time before doing this activation.

SB555 Watcher is for activation and data provisioning. Once you enable voice capability, data capability, or both depending on the carrier, remove this program from the system by cold-booting your computer.

Do not use the SB555 Watcher to make data/voice calls on a daily basis:

S The SB555 Watcher application is a third-party application unaware of

certain power management methods used in your 760 Computer. Therefore, the application consumes more power than necessary.

S The application size consumes memory better used for application data.

The process of setting up the account with your carrier and enabling the CDMA WAN radio in your 760 Computer is called activation. To properly function, program the CDMA device with the necessary information and set up the network carrier account. If either piece has errors, the device does not function on the CDMA network.

The CDMA radio is pre-programmed for a specific carrier, such as Sprint, Telus, Bell Mobility, Verizon, etc.). Therefore, information about your radio should already be in your carrier’s database.

You need to notify the carrier and set up mobile accounts for each unit you are activating. The Electronic Serial Number (ESN hex 63xxxxxx) that you need to supply to your carrier is located in two places:

S On the outside of the 760 Computer shipping box.

S On the inside of the 760 Computer battery compartment. The label

includes the term “ESN” and a bar code along with the serial number.

The ESN comes in both decimal and hexadecimal formats. Most carriers accept either format, but with a preference for the decimal format. You only need to provide one number to your carrier.

S The decimal format consists of 11 digits, beginning with “099.”

S The hexadecimal format is an 8-digit number, beginning with “63.”

Accounts for Verizon and Sprint carriers can be set up for data only. Canadian carriers (Telus and Bell Mobility) can be set for data only, voice only, or both voice and data. This is determined by your application and the services your carrier offers.

After the all ESNs are provided to the carrier and the carrier has established the accounts, you will be provided with the lock codes and telephone numbers needed to complete the activation process. You use the SB555 Watcher program to accomplish this task. Note this for future use.

Note: Ensure that you receive a spreadsheet with your order that calls out all ESNs in both decimal and hexadecimal formats.

Note: Keep the activation information for your devices in a safe, accessible place should you have any future issues.

Note: Not all of the elements listed are required by all service providers.

SNMP Configuration on the Mobile Computer

In short, SNMP is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. The 700 Color Computer is such an SNMP-enabled device. Use SNMP to control and configure the 700 Color anywhere on an SNMP-enabled network.

The 700 Color supports four proprietary Management Information Bases (MIBs) and Intermec provides SNMP support for MIB-II through seven read-only MIB-II (RFC1213-MIB) Object Identifiers (OIDs).

Note: You can only query these seven OIDs through an SNMP management station.

Management Information Base

The Management Information Base is a database that contains information about the elements to be managed. The information identifies the management element and specifies its type and access mode (Read-Only, ReadWrite). MIBs are written in ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation.1) — a machine independent data definition language. Note: Elements to be managed

are represented by objects. The MIB is a structured collection of such objects.

157700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Network SupportChapter —4

You will find the following MIB files either in the 700 Color Management Tools or on the web via www.intermec.com:

S INTERMEC.MIB

Defines the root of the Intermec MIB tree.

S ITCADC.MIB

Defines objects for Automated Data Collection (ADC), such as bar code symbologies.

S ITCSNMP.MIB

Defines objects for Intermec SNMP parameters and security methods, such as an SNMP security IP address.

S ITCTERMINAL.MIB

Defines objects for 700 Color parameters, such as key clicks.

Object Identifiers

Each object has a u nique identifier called an OID, which consist of a sequence of integer values represented in dot notation. Objects are stored in a tree structure and OIDs are assigned based on the position of the object in the tree. For example, the internet OID is equal to 1.3.6.1. Seven MIB OIDs are shown in the following table:

MIB-II Item OID Group or Table Description

ifNumber 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0 Interfaces Group Indicate s the number of adapters

present in the system. For the 700 Color Computer, if one adapter is present in the system, then ifNum- ber =1andifIndex=1.

ifIndex 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.ifIndex Interfaces Table (ifTable) A unique value for each interface.

The value ranges between 1 and the value of ifNumber.

ifDescr 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.ifIndex Interfaces Table (ifTable) A textual string containing informa-

tion about the interface.

ifType 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3.ifIndex Interfaces Table (ifTable) An integer containing information

about the type of the interface. It is equal to 1 for Other.

Configuring with SNMP

The community string allows an SNMP manager to manage the 700 Color Computer with a specified privilege level. The default read-only community string is “public” and “private” is the default read/write community string. See the specific configuration parameter to find its OID.

To configure using SNMP, configure 700 Color Computers for RF or Ethernet communications. Determine the OID (Object Identifier) for the parameter to be changed. The Intermec base OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1963. Use your SNMP management station to get and set variables that are defined in the Intermec MIBs. You can set the traps, identification, or security configuration parameters for SNMP.

Printing ASCII

Directly to a Port

These methods for printing using Pocket PC at this time is as follows:

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

S Use LinePrinter ActiveX Control from the Printing Resource Kit via the

Intermec Developer Library (IDL) available as a download f rom the Intermec webs site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec representative for more information.

S Via wireless printing - see the Bluetooth Resource Kit User’s Guide for more

information.

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

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

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

Directly to a Generic Serial Port

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

S Use CreateFile() to open ports — COM1 can open on most devices.

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

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

IrDA Printer Driver

IrDA printing is only available on the certain devices and is supported directly by the Windows CE load via the IrSock API provided by the Microsoft Win32 API without need for additional drivers. Intermec 6804, 6805, 6806, 6808 and 6820 and other IrDA printers are supported.

162 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

NPCP Printer Driver

The NPCP printer communications driver (NPCPPORT.DLL) is a Stream Device Driver built into the operating system. The driver supports only NPCP communications to and from the 6820 and 4820 printers over a selected serial port.

All applications use WIN32 API functions to access drivers. Applications easily implement basic operations through the CreateFile(), WriteFile(), ReadFile(), DeviceIOControl(), and CloseHandle() Win32 APIs.

DeviceIOControl() functions are used to do most upgrade printer modules, printer diagnostics, and get printer configurations.

About NPCP

NPCP (Norand®Portable Communications Protocol) is a proprietary protocol that provides session, network, and datalink services for Intermec mobile computers in the Intermec LAN environment used with printers and data communications.

Printer Support—Chapter 5

NPCP Driver Installation and Removal

Use LPT9: for the NPCP printer device and COM1 for the last parameter. COM1 is the connection available via the 700 Color Computer.

Applications use the RegisterDevice() function to install the driver. DeregisterDevice() uninstalls the device driver and frees memory space when the driver is not required. Use the HANDLE returned by RegisterDevice() as the parameter to DeregisterDevice().

Use the RegisterDevice() function call as demonstrated below. Specify the full path name to the driver starting at the root for the RegisterDevice() function to work properly. The last parameter to RegisterDevice() is a DWORD that represents the name of the port for the NPCP stream driver to use. Build this parameter on the stack if it is not to be paged out during the call. The first parameter “LPT” (Device Name) and the second parameter “9’ (index), indicate the name of the registered device, such as LPT9. This is used in the CreateFile() function call.

Install() {

HANDLE hDevice; TCHAR port[6]; port[0] = TCHAR(‘C’); port[1] = TCHAR(‘O’); port[2] = TCHAR(‘M’); port[3] = TCHAR(‘1’); port[4] = TCHAR(‘:’); port[5] = TCHAR(0); hDevice = RegisterDevice ( (TEXT(”LPT”), 9, TEXT(“\\STORAGE CARD\\WINDOWS\\NPCPPORT.dll”), (DWORD)port);

hFile = CreateFile(_T(”LPT9:”), GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);

S The port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is in use.

S The NPCP device is already open.

S The share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.

S Access permissions are not set to GENERIC_WRITE |

GENERIC_READ. Both modes must be specified.

Closing the NPCP Driver

Using the CloseHandle() (hFile) function closes the NPCP driver. Where hFile is the handle returned by the CreateFile() f unction call.

S TRUE = the device is successfully closed.

S FALSE = an attempt to close NULL HANDLE or already closed device.

Reading from the NPCP Driver

Reading of the NPCP printers is not supported since all responses from the printer are the result of commands sent to the printer. DeviceIoControl() functions are provided where data is to be received from the printer.

Writing to the NPCP Driver

All Print data can be sent to the printer using the WriteFile() function. The print data written to the driver must contain the proper printer commands for formatting. If the function returns FALSE, the NPCP error may be retrieved using IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. See the description on the next page.

NPCP Driver I/O Controls

An application uses the DeviceIoControl() function to specify an printer operation to be performed. Certain I/O controls are required to bind and close communication sessions with the printer, and must be completed before any other commands to the driver can execute properly.

The function returns TRUE to indicate the device successfully completed its specified I/O control operation, otherwise it returns FALSE. The following I/O control codes are defined:

S IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL

This cancels all printing at the printer. It flushes the printer buffers and reinitializes the printer to its default state. No parameters are required.

S IOCTL_NPCP_BIND

This command is required before any data is sent or received by the printer. Once the driver is opened, the application must bind the communications session with the printer before any data can be sent or received by the printer. If an error occurs during the bind, the application may u se IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the current extended error code. No parameters are required.

S IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE

This command closes the current session with the printer. This function always returns TRUE. No parameters are required.

S IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR

This command returns the extended NPCP error code in PL/N format. The word returned will contain the PL/N compatible error code in the low byte and completion flags in the high byte. If the frame that returned an error was not received correctly by the printer the FRAME_NOT_ACKED bit will be set in the high byte. This operation always returns TRUE. An output buffer of at least 2 bytes is required. See “NPCP Error Codes” on page 166.

S IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH

This command allows the application to poll the printer for errors while the report is completing the print process at the printer. If an error occurs during the polling process, the operation will return FALSE and the application can get the extended error code by using IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. No parameters are required.

NPCP Printer Communications

All NPCP printer communications should be based on the following flow:

1 Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver.

2 Use IOCTL_NPCP_BIND to bind a session with the printer;

IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to check for errors on the bind to ensure success; and IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL to cancel outstanding print jobs.

165700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Printer SupportChapter —5

Sample Code

3 Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer to free up printer buff-

er resources. Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. If an error is reported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the error and determine the correct recovery procedure.

4 Use WriteFile(); to write data to the printer. Check for errors and that

alldatawerewritten.UseIOCTL_NPCP_ERRORtogettheextended error. If the error is critical in nature, use IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE, followed by CloseFile(), to end the communications session. Start a new session, beginning with step 1 to ensure proper printing. For noncritical errors display the error and retry the operation.

5 After all data is sent to the printer, ensure that the printer continues to

print the report properly by polling the printer’s status. Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. If an error is reported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the error and determine the correct recovery procedure.

See sample code in the “\700C Dev Tools\Installable Drivers\Port Drivers\Npcp\NPCPPrint\” directory for more details on printing, printer communications and error code handling.

NPCP Error Codes

Call the IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR I/O control to receive PL/N compatible error codes. Applications must decide how to act on the data returned.

O’Neil Printer Driver

The DTR printer communications driver is a Stream Device Driver named ONEIL.DLL.

All applications use WIN32 API functions to access drivers. Applications easily implement basic operations using the CreateFile(), WriteFile(), DeviceIOControl() and CloseHandle() Win32 APIs.

The driver supports communications to 6804DM, 6804T, 6805A, 6806, 6808, 681T, PB20, and PB42 printers over a selected serial port.

DTR Driver Installation and Removal

Your application must use the RegisterDevice() function to install the ONEIL.DDL device driver. Use “DTR” for the Device Name parameter, “1” for the Device Driver index parameter, and any of these strings for the last parameter:

S NULL (==0) Defaults to COM1 @ 9600

Printer Support—Chapter 5

S “COM1” only COM port specified defaults to 9600

S “COM1:9600” sets to COM port and specified bit rate

S “COM1:19200” sets to COM port and specified bit rate

Use the HANDLE returned by RegisterDevice() as the parameter to DeregisterDevice(). The correct usage of the RegisterDevice() function call is shown below. You may use DeregisterDevice() to uninstall the driver.

Install() {

HANDLE hDevice; TCHAR port[6]; port[0] = TCHAR(‘C’); port[1] = TCHAR(‘O’); port[2] = TCHAR(‘M’); port[3] = TCHAR(‘1’); port[4] = TCHAR(‘:’); port[5] = TCHAR(0); hDevice = RegisterDevice ( (TEXT(”DTR”), 1, TEXT(”\\WINDOWS\\ONEIL.DLL”), (DWORD)port);

}

Opening the DTR Driver

The application opens the DTR driver by using the CreateFile() function. The call can be implemented as follows:

hFile = CreateFile(_T(”DTR1:”), GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);

The first parameter “DTR1:” must reflect the device name and index used in the RegisterDevice() function call.

167700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Printer SupportChapter —5

The function call will fail for any of the following reasons:

S Port associated with device during RegisterDevice() is currently in use.

S The DTR device is already open.

S The share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.

S Access permissions are not set to GENERIC_WRITE.

Closing the DTR Driver

Using the CloseHandle() (hFile) function closes the DTR driver. Where hFile is the handle returned by the CreateFile() f unction call.

S TRUE indicates the device is successfully closed.

S FALSE indicates an attempt to close a NULL HANDLE or an already

closed device.

Writing to the DTR Driver

Use the WriteFile() function to send all print data to the printer. The data must contain the proper formatting printer commands.

DTR Printer Communications

All DTR printer communications should be based on the following flow:

1 Use CreateFile() to open the printer driver.

2 Use WriteFile() to write your data to the printer. Check for errors and

that all data were written.

3 Use CloseHandle() to close the driver.

Scanner Support

The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer is available with imaging or laser scanning technologies, including the following:

APS Linear Imager: (standard for 730 Computers)

— includes the EV10 Scan Engine

2D Imager: (not supported on 730 Computers)

— includes the IT4000 Scan Engine

1D Laser Scanner: (not supported on 730 Computers) — includes the SE 900, SE900HS, SE900-S6, and SE900HS-S6 scan engines

PDF417 Laser Scanner: (not supported on

730 Computers)

EL10 Laser Scanner An EXCELeratet bar code laser scan engine, based on the

Reads 1D symbologies and PDF417 bar codes. Linear imaging using Vista Scanning technology reads low-contrast bar codes, laminated bar codes, and bar codes displayed on CRT or TRT displays. This imaging u s e s harmless LEDs for illumination and does not require any warning labels. Vista Scanning is more reliable than lasers as it is a completely s olid state with no moving parts or oscillating mirrors.

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

Traditional laser scanner that decodes 1D bar codes.

Higher speed laser scanner that can read PDF417 labels by “painting” the label.

Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) technology, that is significantly faster, lighter, and more efficient than traditional laser scanners.

Note: When selecting either the 1551E or the 1553 Scanner or enabling the scanner port for these scanners, the 700 Computer tries to communicate with the attached scanner. If the scanner is not powered, if the cable is not connected properly, the wrong cable is used, or if the scanner firmware is older than 2.0, and the “Failed to save one or more settings” message appears, then this step failed.

This process can take time as the terminal is going through a group of RS-232 settings to communicate with the scanner. After successful communicated with the scanner (about eight beeps are generated), it initializes the scanner with the 700 Computer’s current settings. This process might generate a series of beeps pending on the firmware version installed in the scanner. These beeps are suppressed in firmware versions 2.08 or greater.

Troubleshooting the 1551E/1553 Tethered Scanner

Do the following to troubleshoot your 1551E/1553 Tethered Scanner:

1 Ensure the correct cable is used for the scanner on the tethered scanner

port. Note the 700 Computer cannot supply power to the scanner.

2 Perform a quick test to determine whether the connection is good.

Temporary select the scanner model as “ASCII,” then enable the scanner port state. Go to a command prompt or a notepad and scan a data label. If a label is wedged into the command prompt or notepad, then the connection is good.

3 If step 2 passes, reset the scanner configurations to their defaults (scan

the Reset Factory Defaults label on the next page) to prevent miscommunication, then reenable the scanner port state.

4 If step 2 fails, then the firmware installed in the tethered scanner may be

older than version 2.0. Upgrade your scanner firmware.

179700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Scanner SupportChapter —6

Reset Factory Defaults

Scan the EasySet software bar code label “Reset Factory Default” to restore all of your scanner’s configurations to their factory defaults. When this command label is scanned, reinitialize the tethered scanner (such as disable the scanner port state, then enable it) on the 700 Computer. Otherwise, the online configuration and scanning on the 700 Computer are not functional. In general, scan this label only to initially reset the scanner.

Do not scan EasySet command labels to change the following settings:

S Symbologies code mark S Code 128, EAN29 Identifier

S Preamble and Postamble S Enable/Disable symbologies

S Symbology ID transmit option

In some cases, scanning EasySet Command labels cause the current setting on the user interface to be out of sync with the scanner settings. However, in some cases, scanning these labels does corrupt scanned data.

The “Open COMx error: 0x00000037” message appears if the COM port cannot open due to another application using the port. Disable that application to free up the COM1 port before you can enable the scanner. “x” is the COM port number, such as 1, 2, or 3.

Tethered Scanner Supported Symbologies

The user interface may allow configuration of PDF417, Micro PDF417, RSS, and Codablock bar code symbologies. However, these symbologies are dependant on what scanner models and firmware versions are in use. See the following table for a guideline on each supported symbology:

You can use a generic ASCII scanner with the 700 Color Computer. Pending on the scanner, linear symbologies such as Code39, should decode correctly. However, 2D symbologies such as PDF417 may not decode correctly.

Attached RFID Readers

Note: The 700 Color Computer currently supports only the IP4 Intellitag Portable RFID Reader, a trigger handle accessory that lets you hold your 700 Color Computer like a reader or scanner. Contact your Intermec r epresentative for more information.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems evolved as a way to provide all the benefits of visual scanning systems, while o vercoming many of their limitations. Radio frequency (RF) describes electromagnetic waves in the 10 kHz to 10 GHz range. Electronic identification (ID) systems transfer data messages from an object to be identified to a data management system. RFID systems use radio frequency to transfer data between an item being tracked and a reader/writer. It is a fast, automatic identification technology.

More information about RFID and the IP4 Reader are in the following Intermec publications. PDFs of these publications are available fr om the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

Creating CAB Files

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

S All application files are present.

S A partial installation is prevented.

S The application can be installed from several sources, such as a desktop

computer or a Web site.

Use the CAB Wizard application (CABWIZ.EXE) to generate a .CAB file for your application.

Creating Device-Specific CAB Files

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

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

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

This specifies string substitutions for the application name and the default installation directory.

Required? Yes

S AppName: app_name

S InstallDir: default_install_dir

Example

[CEStrings]

AppName=“Game Pack” InstallDir=%CE1%\%AppName%

[Strings]

This section is optional and defines one or more string keys. A string key represents a string of printable characters.

Programming—Chapter 7

Name of the application. Other instances of %AppName% in the .INF file are replaced with this string value, such as RP32.

Default installation directory on the device. Other instances of %InstallDir% in the .INF file are replaced with this string value. Example: \SDMMC_Disk\%AppName%

Required? No

S string_key: value

Example

[Strings]

[CEDevice]

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

Required? Yes

S ProcessorType : processor_type

S UnsupportedPlatforms: platform_family_name

String consisting of letters, digits, or other printable characters. Enclose value in double quotation marks ““”” if corresponding string key is used in an item requiring double quotation marks. No string_keys is okay.

The value that is returned by SYSTEMINFO.dwProcessorType.For example, the value for the ARM CPU is 2577

This lists known unsupported platform family names. If the name specified in the [CEDevice.xxx] section is different from that in the [CEDevice] section, both platform_family_name values are unsupported for the microprocessor specified by xxx. That is, the list of unsupported platform family names is appended to the previous list of unsupported names. Application Manager will not display the application for an unsupported platform. Also, a user will be warned during the setup process if the .CAB file is copied to an unsupported device.

Example

The following code example shows three [CEDevice] sections: one that gives basic information for any CPU and two that are specific to the SH3 and the MIPS microprocessors.

[CEDevice] ; A “template” for all platforms UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1 ; Does not support pltfrm1

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

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

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

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

Note: To cre ate the two CPU-specific .CAB files f or the SETUP.INF file in the previous example, run the CAB Wizard with the “/cpu arm mips” parameter.

Using Installation Functions in SETUP.DLL

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

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

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

Install_Exit Called after installation is complete. Use th is function to h andle errors that occur during applica-

tion installation.

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

tion is running.

After the CAB File Extraction

Cab files that need to cause a warm reset after cab extraction will need to create the __RESETMEPLEASE__.TXT file in the “\Windows” directory. The preferred method to create this file is within the DllMain portion of the SETUP.DLL file. It looks like this:

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

#define IOCTL_TERMINAL_RESET CTL_CODE (FILE_DEVICE_UNKNOWN,FILE_ANY_ACCESS, 2050, METHOD_NEITHER)
