Chapter 3 Application Deployment for Mobile 5.0

Introduction

This chapter describes features available in Windows Mobile 5.0 including new security features, how to package applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the mobile computer. The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the detailed information on these topics.

Security

The mobile computers implement a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run and, if allowed, with what level of trust. The security configuration of the device must be available to develop an application, as well as the ability to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the application to run (and to run with the needed level of trust). The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216- xx provides the security support information applicable to the MC9090-G RFID mobile computer. Information on the following topics is provided:

•

Packaging

Packaging combines an application executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier to deploy and install an application to the mobile computer. Package new a pplications and upda tes, such as new DLL files, as CAB files, then deploy them to Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file for information on CAB files.

Application Security Digital Signatures Device Management Security Remote API Security

3 - 2 MC9090-G RFID Integrator Guide Supplement

Deployment

To install applications onto the mobile computer, developers package the application and all required files into a CAB file, then load the file onto the mobile computer using one of the following options:

•

Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 or greater

•

Storage Card

•

AirBEAM

•

Image Update (for updating the operating system). Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file for information on CAB files. The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the deployment support information applicable to the

XML Provisioning

To configure the settings on a mobile computer XML provisioning should be used. To install an XML provisioning file on the mobile computer, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF) file. A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file: _setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the XML code and uses it to provision and configure the mobile computer. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating success or failure.

XML Provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the mobile computer (i.e., registry and file system). However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, certain privileges (roles) are required. Some registry keys require only an Authenticated User, while other registry keys require a Manager. Refer to the Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file, Metabase Settings for Registry Configuration Service Provider section, for the default role settings in Windows Mobile 5.0.

For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged certificate installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file and the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for instructions and sample test certificates.

The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the XML Provisioning support information applicable to the MC9090-G RFID mobile computer. Information on the following topics is provided:

The GeminiRFID Demo can reside on many CE4.2/CE5. 0 and Mobile based d evices including Motor ola's MC909x handhelds, RD5000, WIN CE based VRCs, and XR Series products.

On devices that have integrated RFID reading, the GeminiRFID Demo automatically finds and connects to the integrated RFID reader. These readers include RD5000, MC90xx, and XR Series.

On devices that do not have an integrated RFID reading capability, the GeminiRFID Demo must be configured to connect to the remote RFID reader using the reader IP address and port number 30 00.

The settings screen is described in Settings on page 5-8.

Using GeminiRFID Demo to Forward/Log Tags to Remote Device

By default, the GeminiRFID Demo will not display or log tags. The GeminiRFID Demo beeps each time a tag is read however. The GeminiRFID Demo can be configured to log tags using the following mechanisms:

Log tag reads to a file.

Program Tag

This option can be used to program Gen2 RFID tags. Gen2 tags can be programmed, erased, locked and killed. Each tag contains 88 or 120 bits, which includes the

EPC number (64 or 96 bits), CRC, and Kill Code. Locking, and killing tags requires a Kill Code which is 1 byte (8 bits) long. Since a tag has a very small Kill Code and can be thwarted with many lock/kill attempts, it shuts down after a failed attempt for a extended amount of time (possibly up to 10 hours). In addi tion, dat a can be collected by decoding in-range EPC RFID tags that beam back to the mobile computer the info rmation they contain.

Chapter 7 Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Introduction

This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the RFID read er, and provides troubleshooting solutions for potential problems during RFID reader operating.

Maintaining the RFID reader

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when u sing the RFID reader:

•

Take care not to scratch the screen of the RFID reader. When working with the RFID reader, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use a pen or pencil or other sharp object on the surface of the RFID reader screen.

•

Although the RFID reader is water and dust resistant, it is good practice not to expose it to rain or moisture for an extended period of time.

•

The battery must be changed in a clean dry area.

•

Protect the RFID reader from temperature extremes. Keep it away from heat sources.

•

Do not store or use the RFID reader in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.

•

Use a soft cloth to clean the RFID reader. If the surface of the RFID reader becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.

NOTE This MC9090-G RFID Integrator Guide Supplement is configured to provides only the unique set up and

configuration procedures for the MC9090-G RFID mobile co mputers and accessories. The accessory troubleshooting is provided in the MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx.
