Interactive Sensor Technology

This section describes the functionality of the Interactive Sensor Technology (IST) feature on the MC9190-G.

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 MC9190-G by monitoring motion and orientation.

•

Display Orientation – switch the screen orientation to either landscape or portrait depending on the MC9190-G orientation.

•

Free Fall Detection – monitors free fall duration and records the time and type of the drop event.

Power Management

The MC9190-G orientation and motion sensitive data can be used as an indicator of MC9190-G usage and can be used to manage the battery power of the MC9190-G. 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 MC9190-G 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 MC9190-G. For example, if the MC9190-G 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°.

Free Fall Detection

IST continuously monitors gravitational force on the MC9190-G according to its current position. When the MC9190-G 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 indicates nearly a one meter drop. This data can be used as an indicator of potential abuse or misuse.

Page 48

2 - 22 MC9190-G User Guide

IST features a log for recording the free fall events. This log records the date, time and the time period of the free fall.

Using a Wired Headset

You can use a stereo headset for audio communication when an audio enabled application is used. To use a headset, plug the headset jack into the audio connector on the side of the MC9190-G. Ensure that the MC9190-G’s volume is set appropriately before putting the headset on. When a headset is plugged into the jack, the speakerphone is muted.

Laser Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The MC9190-G with Windows Mobile contains the DataWedge application and MC9190-G with Windows CE contains the DataWedge and ScanSamp2 Example applications that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code content. See DataWedge on page 3-5 for information on enabling Da launching ScanSamp2 Example.

1. Launch a scanning application or a sample scanning application (DataWedge or ScanSamp2 Example).

2. Point the exit window on the top of the MC9190-G at a bar code.

Indicators illuminate red to indicate that the laser is on. The Scan LED Indicators illuminate green and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.

Figure 3-1

4. Release the trigger or scan button.

Laser Aiming

Scanning Considerations

Scanning consists of; aim, scan and decode. Scanning performance can be optimized by considering the range and the scanning angle:

•

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. 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

The scan angle is important for optimizing decode performance. 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 do not 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.

Imaging

The MC9190-G with an integrated imager has the following features:

NOTE Contact the Zebra Support Center if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed bar

codes should be quick and effortless.

•

Omnidirectional (360°) 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.

Page 55

Data Capture 3 - 3

•

Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

Operational Modes

The MC9190-G with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode pressing the Scan button.

•

Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC9190-G attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.

NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, use the CtlPanel applet on Windows CE or download the Windows Mobile Control

Panel applet from the Support Central web site at http://www.zebra.com/support. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.

•

Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the MC9190-G’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair center dot over the required bar code to decode only that 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).

•

Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the MC9190-G’s field of view. This is useful for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.

Imager Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The MC9190-G with Windows Mobile contains the DataWedge application and with Windows CE contains the ScanSamp2 application that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code content. See information on launching DataWedge and ScanSamp2 Example on page 3-5 for launching ScanSamp2.

1. Launch a scanning application or a sample scanning application (DataWedge or ScanSamp2).

2. Point the exit window on the top of the MC9190-G at a bar code.

3. Press the trigger or scan button. Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Scan LED

Chapter 4 Using Bluetooth

Introduction

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 (32.8 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption.

MC9190-Gs with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, printers, access points, and other mobile computers.

The MC9190-G with Bluetooth technology uses either the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack or the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. To write an application that uses the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack APIs, refer to the Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) Help.

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 Zebra mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.

The Bluetooth radio in this MC9190-G operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is

2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). 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.

Page 60

4 - 2 MC9190-G User Guide

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 needed 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 that is used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common PIN number in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN number 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 number or passkey that is 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 don't store the PIN codes in the MC9190-G

•

Implement application-level security.

The Microsoft stack supports Smart-pairing. For detailed information, refer to the Microsoft MSDN.

Security Mode 3 (Link Level Encryption)

The MC9190-G supports Security Level 3 (Link Level Encryption). Link level encryption is the data security process of encrypting information at the data link level as it is transmitted between two devices.

When using Microsoft Bluetooth Stack, set the link level encryption using an API call, API CALL GOES HERE. Refer to the Microsoft MSDN for more information.

When using StoneStreet One Bluetooth Stack, set Encrypt Link On All Outgoing Connections checkbox in the Settings > Security tab. Alternately set link level encryption using an API call, CALL GOES HERE. Refer to the Zebra EMDK for more information.

Bluetooth Configuration

By default, the MC9190-G is configured to using the Microsoft stack. Refer to the MC9190-G Integrator Guide, for information on switching between the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack.

Table 4-1 list the services supported by the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack and the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
