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:

•

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 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 serial 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 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.

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 chart 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.

5 - 2 MC18 with Android OS Product Reference Guide

Scanning Bar Codes

1. Open any application that can receive text.

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.

Red Aiming Dot

Correct

Figure 5-1 Imager Illumination Frame

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

Incorrect

Red Illumination Frame

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.

IMPORTANTThe 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 Single Slot Cradle on a Dispenser

Wall on page 6-2)

•

Connect the wires to the cables (see Wiring on page 6-5)

•

Set the cradle(s) (see Controlling the Cradle on page 4-15)

Charging Modes

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

•

Standard charging

•

Fast charging

6 - 2 MC18 with Android OS Product Reference Guide

There are some general charging considerations that must be taken into account when designing a dispenser and ordering hardware elements of a system:

Standard Charging Mode

•

In standard charging mode, no more than 12 cradles can be powered off of one power supply unit (p/n PWRS-14000-241R) using “Y” power cable 25-67592-01R.

•

In standard charging mode, the current draw by each docked MC18 can reach a maximum of 1A.

Fast Charging Mode

•

In fast charging mode, no more than six cradles can be powered off of one power supply unit (p/n PWRS-14000-241R) using power cable 25-66420-01R.

•

In fast charging mode, the current draw by each docked MC18 can reach a maximum of 1.5A.

Mounting the Single Slot Cradle on a Dispenser Wall

The cradle contains two mounting holes in the back housing so that it can be hanged on screws fixed to a supporting furniture. In addition, it comes with plugs and a variety of cable routing outlets. Figure 6-3 provides the necessary information about the location and dimensions of the mounting holes of the cradle.

To mount the Single Slot Cradle:

1. Loosen two captive screws securing the front cover to the base.

Figure 6-1 Remove Screws

2. Pull front cover away from base and then lift out of the base.
