TekImager Enabled
Setting this option to on enables the imager installed in your hand-held.
Continuous Scan Mode
Setting this parameter to on keeps image capture active and continuously decoding
as long as the scanner button is pressed and held down.
Center Bar Code Only
Note:This parameter must be disabled when reading Composite bar codes.
When more than one bar code is visible in a single snap shot, this parameter allows
you to specify that only the centre image within the imager framing marker be read.
When this parameter is set to on, the target dot is pointed at the centre image and
only that image is returned.
Max Number Barcodes
This parameter specifies the maximum number of bar codes the imager will attempt
to decode in an image. A maximum of 6 bar codes can be decoded at one time.
190WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual
Chapter 5: Configuration
Barcodes Must Decode
This parameter specifies the minimum number of bar codes that the imager must
decode in order to report success.
Note:This number must be less than the number of bar codes assigned to
“Max Number Barcodes”. The driver validates and reassigns the value
if necessary.
Window Width
“Window Width” determines the width of the captured image in pixels.
Note:The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter,
if necessary; the driver will also use the Window Width value to horizontally center the image in the field of view.
Window Height
This parameter determines the height of the captured image in pixels.
Note:The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter,
if necessary; the driver will also use “Window Height” value to vertically
center the image in the field of view.
Imager
Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long
the targeting dot remains on before the scanner begins capturing images. When you
double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a
value of between 0 and 3000. A value of 0 disables the target dot.
5.10.5.2Imager Advanced Options
Important:Do not adjust the advanced options without first consulting Psion
Teklogix technical support.
Factory Defaults On Reboot
The value assigned to this parameter determines whether or not the driver will
restore the factory defaults to the imager device on the next reboot.
Note:The driver will default the imager device on a ‘clean’ reset, regardless of
the value of this parameter.

Imager
Min Scan Duration
This parameter defines the minimum amount of time in seconds that the imager will
scan when the trigger is pressed and held down without successful decode.
Note:The actual scan duration when the trigger is pressed relies on the value
assigned to Captures Per HW Trigger, below.
Captures Per HW Trigger
The value assigned to this parameter determines the number of captures the imager
device will take while the imager's internal hardware trigger is held down.
Note:This parameter, together with “Min Scan Duration”, determines the
actual scan duration. When the scan trigger is pressed and held down, the
driver starts a timer based on the value of “Min Scan Duration” and also
sends a command to emulate the hardware trigger. When completed, if the
time has not yet expired, it will send another command to the imager
device, forcing the imager to flash again using the value assigned to
“Captures Per HW Trigger”.
Auto Exposure
Important:This parameter value should only be changed by qualified Psion
Teklogix personnel. It should be left at the default value – ‘on’.
Setting this parameter to on allows the imager to make automatic gain, integration
and illumination adjustments based on ambient light before capturing the bar code.
If the adjustment is insufficient, further adjustments are made automatically before
another image is captured.
Fast Converge
Note:“Auto Exposure” must be set to ‘on’ in order for this parameter
to function.
Keep in mind that while this parameter can improve imager performance,
“Fast Converge” increases battery power consumption.
Setting this parameter to on speeds the “Auto Exposure” process. It allows the
imager to rapidly snap a number of bar code capture attempts while finding ideal
values for gain, integration and illumination.

Max Gain, Max Integration And Max Illumination
Important:These parameter values should only be changed by qualified Psion
Teklogix personnel.
These parameters represent internal values used by the 2D imager. The “Auto
Exposure” parameter automatically adjusts the “Max Gain”, “Max Integration” and
“Max Illumination” parameters to produce the best bar code read. Keep in mind that
“Auto Exposure” must be set to on in order for these parameter values to be
automatically adjusted.
Double-tapping on any of these parameters displays an associated dialog box in
which an allowable range is displayed: Max Gain – 357 to 7920, Max Integration –
0 to 65535, Max Illumination – 0 to 7.
Decoder Timeout
The decoder is a set of algorithms that examine the image and attempt to find the bar
codes, and then turn the pixels into data that the computer can use—this process
takes time. “Decoder Timeout” limits the amount of time the decoder will spend
attempting to decode an image, and forces it to stop and grab a new image, which
will probably be easier to decode.
Imager
Note:When decoding multiple bar codes in one image, the value assigned to
‘Decoder Timeout’ should be increased to 200ms/extra bar code after the
first.
Adaptive Windowing
“Adaptive Windowing” is an advanced technique used to speed up bar code
recognition in certain applications. This parameter automatically reduces the size of
the window to the user-programmed window size when it successfully decodes
(which reduces decode time the next time it is used), but increases it to the full size
window (1280x1024 for SX5303) on a failed decode.
Note:This feature assumes that you have reached an understanding about how
the device operates in your application, and that, after a learning period,
operators will get used to using the imager in one particular way. It also
assumes that a trained operator will usually only have near miss scenarios.

Constant Illumination
“Constant Illumination” is used to reduce the intrusiveness of the device’s
illumination on the observer. Instead of the illumination turning on and off every
time the device attempts a decode (2-4 times per second), the illumination stays on
from the time the trigger is pulled until a decode is successful. This feature is useful
in low light environments, since it will also reduce the distraction that the
illumination can have on nearby co-workers.

Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
Important:If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will
be enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after
which normal scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on
page 137 for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and
initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard
on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.
•Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a
warning indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six
seconds have elapsed.
6.12.4 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.
•Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
•Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands
into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam
and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or
three seconds have elapsed.
6.12.5 Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers
An imager takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time).
It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation—that is, even a bar code printed at
a 45 degree angle to the hand-held will be decoded successfully.
Note:When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar
codes are within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even
when all bar codes are within the field of view, not all of them will be
decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that
you scan the missing bar codes.
When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is
within the field of view of the scanner.
234WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual
Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Bluetooth Peripherals
Because imagers generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some
practise may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes
being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will
help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the handheld.
Important:Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED
illumination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media
such as plastic coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code
to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare reflects
away from the imager scanner.
Most imagers take several ‘snap shots’ of the bar code in order to
decode it. It is normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold
the unit steady between flashes to improve decode performance.
•Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted
up completely.
•Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger
until a successful or failed scan result is obtained.
•When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the
framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field—
either in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the
area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned.
The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the bar
code(s) is taken.

Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz
band. Although the WORKABOUT PRO includes features to minimize
interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios
simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the hand-held at the same
time, they cannot transmit simultaneously
system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11g network,
Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction
rates (such as printers and scanners).
Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 109 for information about setting up your Blue-

SCU Security Capabilities
The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the handheld and wireless WAN infrastructure that transmit and receive data.
A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE
802.1X and a critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This
supplicant provides an interface between the radio and the operating system and
supports the authentication and encryption elements required for 802.11i, also
known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as well as predecessors such as WPA
and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated supplicant that supports a broad
range of security capabilities, including:
•802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for
WPA2 and WPA.
•Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.
Common EAP types include:
C-4WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual
Appendix C: Summit Client Utility (SCU) For Model RA2041
Config Tab
•EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket
Layer (SSL). It provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for
user authentication.
•PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to
encrypt EAP traffic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP:
•EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate
for use against Windows Active Directory and domains.
•EAP-GTC, resulting in PEAP-GTC: This is for authentication with onetime passwords (OTPs) against OTP databases such as SecureID.
•LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access
points. LEAP does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP
supports Windows Active Directory and domains but requires the use of
strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to offline dictionary attacks.
•EAP-FAST: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords
to protect against offline dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does
not require the use of server or client certificates and supports Windows
Active Directory and domains.
Note:PEAP and EAP-TLS require the use of Windows facilities for the configu-
ration of digital certificates.
SCU EAP Types
The following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be
configured in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With
each of these four types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the config,
you will be prompted to enter credentials the first time the radio attempts to
associate to an access point that supports 802.1X (EAP).
Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:
•EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning.
EAP-TLS will work with a RA2041 radio module when Windows Zero Config
(WZC) rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With WZC, the native Windows supplicant instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used.

EAP Credentials
Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:
•If the credentials specified in the config are incorrect and that config is used,
the authentication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted
to enter correct credentials.
•If the credentials are not specified in the config, when the radio tries to asso-
ciate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
•When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials,
or cancel the operation.
•If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and
authenticate.
•If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate
but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter credentials.
•If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the
radio will not attempt to associate with that config until you perform one
of the following actions (while the config is the active config):
•Cause the WORKABOUT PRO to go through a power cycle or suspend/resume.
•Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the Diags
windows.
•Modify the config, and tap on Commit.
Alternatively, you can choose another config as the active config and then switch
back to the config for which EAP authentication was cancelled.
ThirdPartyConfig
If you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating
system’s Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for
the CF radio installed in the unit.
Choosing this config means that WZC must be used to define the following radio
and security options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption.The SCU settings
for ThirdPartyConfig include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and
Radio Mode. These SCU settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC
settings will be applied to the radio module.
