CHAPTER 3 WIRELESS

Wireless Local Area Networks

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the MC18 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using
the MC18 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 MC18 must both be properly configured to enable this
communication.

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 to configure the MC18 to match the security scheme.

The MC18 supports the following WLAN security options:

• Open

• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP).

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) Personal (PSK).

• Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

• Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) - with MSCHAPV2 and GTC authentication.

• Transport Layer Security (TLS)

• TTLS - with Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 authentication.

• LEAP

• EAP-FAST - with MSCHAPV2 and GTC authentication.

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 ab le to set up secu re computing environm ents 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:

• 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 de finition of rang es 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 applic at ion -le vel security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The
Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedure s required to auth enticate devices, and if needed,
encrypt the data flowing on the link between the device s. Device authentication is a mandatory feature o f 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

Wireless 3 - 11

generates the initialization key . T he 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 long-distance eavesdropping difficult.

Recommendations are:

• Perform pairing in a secure environment

• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device

• 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 seri al cable connection between two
Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer.

• Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Controls connections in Bluetooth. Makes device visible and determines
how two devices communicate.

Bluetooth Power States

The Bluetooth radio is off by default.

• Suspend - When the MC18 goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.

• Airplane Mode - When the MC18 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

Turn off th e Bluetooth radio to save po wer or if entering an area with radio r estrictions (e.g., a n airplane). When th e
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). Comm unicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.

NOTE To achieve the best battery life turn off radios when not in use.

CHAPTER 5 DATA CAPTURE

Introduction

The MC18 imager allows collection of data by scanning bar codes.
The imager has the following features:

• Reads a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 2-D code types (see

Appendix A, Technical Specifications).

• Contains advanced intuitive aiming light for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Scanning Considerations

Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan/decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, two
important considerations can be used to optimize any 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 MC18 closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned. However, the situation is complicated by the availability of various integrated scanning modules. The
best way to specify the appropriate working range per bar code density is through a ch art called a decode zone
for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum element widths of
bar code symbols.

• Angle

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.

NOTE Contact the Global Customer Support if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed

bar codes should be quick and effortless.

2. Aim the scan exit window at the bar code.

3. Press the Scan key - the status LED illuminates red.

Ensure the red aiming dot is at the center of the bar code. Upon successful decode, the Status LED changes
from red to green and audible beep sounds if bar code was decoded successfully.

Figure 5-1 Imager Illumination Frame

4. Release the Scan key. The bar code data displays on the screen.

Figure 5-2 DataWedge Demo Screen

Scanning Tips

Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics.

• Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.

• Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC18 configuration. An application may use

different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

DataWedge

DataWedge is a utility that adds advanced bar code scanning capability to any application without writing code. It
runs in the background and handles the interface to built-in bar code scanners. The captured bar code data is
converted to keystrokes and sent to the target application as if it was typed on the keypad.

CHAPTER 6 CRADLE INSTALLATION

Introduction

A typical Personal Shopper system is comprised of a family of hardware devices interconnected through a WLAN
radio backbone to the retail establishment’s server(s). The hardware devices are the MC18 mobile computers,
single-slot or Three Slot Cradles, power supplies and cables. A dispenser typically refers to a piece of furniture
which has mounted to it the cradles, their power supplies, and cables.

Customers (retail establishments) design their own dispensers to meet their particular floor space and display
requirements. The information in this chapter should help a customer to design a dispenser and to understand the
installation requirements.

IMPORTANT The MC18 cradles are NOT compatible with MC17 cradles and the MC17 cradles are NOT

compatible with MC18 cradles.

Installation of the Single Slot Cradle

Installation of the Single Slot Cradle include the following mounting steps:

• Select the charging mode (see Charging Modes on page 6-1)

• Mount the Single Slot Cradles on a dispenser wall (see Mounting the Sing le Slot Cradle on a Dispenser W a ll

on page 6-2)

• Connect the wires to the cables (see Wiring on page 6-4)

• Set the cradle(s) (see Controlling the Cradle on page 4-13)

Charging Modes

Single Slot Cradles can be installed in the following charging modes:

• Standard charging

• Fast charging
