Data Capture

The TC70 offers data capture using the imager or the RS507 Hands-free imager.
Note:
By default, the good decode beep is set to system volume (Music and Media). The good decode beep can be set to another sound (Notifications or Alarms) and the volume can be independently controlled. See the DataWedge section in the TC70 Integrator Guide for more information.
DataWedge is installed and enabled on the TC70 by default.
81 | Data Capture

Imaging

The TC70 with an integrated imager has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the bar code data from the image.
Operational Modes
The TC70 with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pressing the Scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the TC70 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.
Note: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the TC70 ’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the required bar code to decode only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

RS507 Hands-Free Imager

The RS507 Hands-free Imager is a wearable bar code scan solution for both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. The scanner supports Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) connection to the device.

Page 82
82 | Data Capture
Figure 67: RS507 Hands-Free Imager
See to the RS507 Hands-free Imager Product Reference Guide for more information.

Scanning Considerations

Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
• Range: Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics. Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being scanned.
• Angle: Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner. To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
• Hold the TC70 farther away for larger symbols
• Move the TC70 closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Note: Scanning procedures depend on the application and TC70 configuration. An application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

Imager Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The TC70 contains the DataWedge application that allows the user to enable the imager, decode the bar code data and display the bar code content.
Procedure:
1 Ensure that an application is open on the TC70 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2 Point the exit window on the top of the TC70 at a bar code.

Figure 68: Imager Scanning
3 Press and hold the scan button.
The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
4 Note: When the TC70 is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or
aiming dot touches the bar code.
Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
Figure 69: Aiming Pattern
Figure 70: Pick List Mode with Multiple Bar Codes in Aiming Pattern
5 The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded
successfully.
6 Release the scan button.
MN001120A01-A | October 2014

Note: Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The TC70 repeats the steps required to take a
digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.
7 The bar code content data displays in the text field.

Bar Code Capture with RS507 Hands-Free Imager

Prerequisites: Pair the RS507 with the TC70. See Pairing the RS507 Hands-Free Imager Bluetooth HID on page

This section provides information on the wireless features:
• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
• Bluetooth

Wireless Local Area Networks

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the TC70 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the TC70 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the TC70 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
87 | Wireless
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & networks settings configure the TC70 to match the security scheme.
The TC70 supports the following WLAN security options:
• Open
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 Personal (PSK).
• Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status. See Status Bar on page 34 for more information.
Note: Turn off Wi-Fi when not using it, to extend the life of the battery.

Configuring for a Proxy Server

A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies, and proxy configuration is an essential part of doing that. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 meters (32.8 feet) ) communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.

Adaptive Frequency Hopping

Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work. There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
Wireless | 95
• Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or pre-defined channel mask.
• Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
• Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
• Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5 mW and the expected range is 10 meters (32.8 ft.). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space.
Note: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.

Security

The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long­distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
• Perform pairing in a secure environment
• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
MN001120A01-A | October 2014
Page 96
96 | Wireless
• Implement application-level security.

Bluetooth Profiles

The device supports the following Bluetooth services:
• Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) - Handles the search for known and specific services as well as general services.
• Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Allows use of RFCOMM protocol to emulate serial cable connection between two Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer.
• Object Push Profile (OPP) - Allows the device to push and pull objects to and from a push server.
• Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) - Allows the device to stream stereo-quality audio to a wireless headset or wireless stereo speakers.
• Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) - Allows the device to control A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP.
• Personal Area Network (PAN) - Allows the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol to provide L3 networking capabilities over a Bluetooth link. Only PANU role is supported.
• Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and remote monitoring devices to connect to the device.
• Out of Band (OOB) - Allows exchange of information used in the pairing process. Pairing is completed using the Bluetooth radio, but requires information from the OOB mechanism. Using OOB with NFC enables pairing when devices simply get close, rather than requiring a lengthy discovery process.

Bluetooth Power States

The Bluetooth radio is off by default.
• Suspend - When the TC70 goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.
• Airplane Mode - When the TC70 is placed in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio turns off. When Airplane mode is disabled, the Bluetooth radio returns to the prior state. When in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio can be turned back on if desired.

Bluetooth Radio Power – Android

Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the device. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
Note: To achieve the best battery life turn off radios when not in use.
