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

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.
Using the MC32N0 with Android™ | 79
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 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
• Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The MC32N0 with Android supports the following Bluetooth services:
• Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Use for device discovery and authentication.
• Service Discovery Access Protocol (SDP) - Handles the search for known and specific services as well as general
services.
• Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Sets up a virtual serial port and connects two Bluetooth enabled devices. For example,
connecting the MC32N0 to a printer.
• Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and
remote monitoring devices to connect to the MC32N0.
80 | Using the MC32N0 with Android
• Dial-up Networking (DUN) - Allows the MC32N0 to access the Internet and other dial-up services using a
Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
• Personal Area Network (PAN) - Allow the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol on Layer 3 protocols
for transport over a Bluetooth link.
• General Object Exchange Profile (GOEP) - Provides a basis for other data profiles. Based on OBEX and
sometimes referred to as such.
• Headset Profile (HSP) - Allows a hands-free device, such as a Bluetooth headset, to place and receive calls on the
MC32N0.
™
Bluetooth Power States
The Bluetooth radio is off by default.
• Suspend - When the MC32N0 goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.
• Airplane Mode - When the MC32N0 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

Interactive Sensor Technology
This section describes the functionality of the Interactive Sensor Technology (IST) feature on the MC32N0. Refer to
the MC32N0 Integrator Guide for configuring IST.
The IST supports the following features.
• Power Management – manage power by configuring IST to control switching on/off the backlight, control
suspend mode of the MC32N0 by monitoring motion and orientation.
• Display Orientation – switch the screen orientation to either landscape or portrait depending on the MC32N0
orientation.
• Free Fall Detection – monitors free fall duration and records the time and type of the drop event.
Power Management
The MC32N0 orientation and motion sensitive data can be used as an indicator of MC32N0 usage and can be used to
manage the battery power of the mobile computer. For example, IST can be configured to control the backlight on
and off functionality or go into suspend according to a user gesture by placing screen facing down. It can also be used
to keep the MC32N0 active while it is in movement to prevent it from quickly going into suspend mode while in use.
Display Orientation
The screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape modes automatically, depending on the physical orientation
of the MC32N0. For example, if the MC32N0 is rotated 90° counterclockwise, IST rotates the display
counterclockwise 90° so that the screen display appears correct.
This functionality is achieved by monitoring screen angle and rotating the display to counter any changes. IST only
rotates the screen in multiples of 90°.
Figure 84: Display Orientation
Free Fall Detection
IST continuously monitors gravitational force on the MC32N0 according to its current position. When the MC32N0
free falls, IST detects the absence of gravitational force and records the event data if it detects a free fall more than
450 ms, which may indicate nearly a one meter drop. This data can be used as an indicator of potential abuse or
misuse.
IST features a log for recording the free fall events. This log records the date, time and the time period of the free fall.
Figure 85: Free Fall Detection

Resetting the MC32N0
If the MC32N0 stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A warm
boot restarts the MC32N0 by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the MC32N0, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In addition it returns
formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. If the MC32N0 still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
Caution: Files that remain open during a warm boot may not be retained.
Procedure:
1 Press the Power button for five seconds.
2 As soon as the MC32N0 starts to perform a warm boot release the Power button.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the MC32N0 and erases all user stored records and entries from RAM. Never perform a cold boot
unless a warm boot does not solve the problem.
98 | Using the MC32N0 with Windows CE
Caution: Cold boot resets the MC32N0, to the default settings. All added applications and all stored data
are removed. Do not cold boot without support desk approval.
Procedure:
1 Simultaneously press and then release the 1, 9 and Power keys. Do not hold down any other keys or buttons. As
the MC32N0 initializes, the splash window appears for about a minute.
2 Calibrate the touch screen.
WLAN
Wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send captured data to
a host device in real time. Before using the MC32N0 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required
hardware to run the wireless LAN and the MC32N0 must be configured. Refer to the documentation provided with
the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
Note: 802.11d is enabled by default. When enabled, the AP must be configured the same in order to
connect.
To configure the MC32N0, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless radio in
the MC32N0. Refer to the Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide for Version X2.01 for information
on configuring wireless profiles. Go to http://www.zebra.com/support for the latest version of this guide. See
Software Versions on page xii to determine the Fusion version on the MC32N0.
Note: Select the Country for the MC32N0’s country of operation. The access point prompts for the correct
country code on the first login. A warning message also displays stating an incorrect country setting may
result in illegal radio operation. Selecting the correct country is central to legally operating the access point.
Each country has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions and the maximum
RF signal that can be transmitted. To ensure compliance with national and local laws, set the country
accurately. MC32N0 users cannot configure their access point until country code is set.
