Interactive Sensor Technology

NOTE The Interactive Sensor Technology feature is only available on Premium configurations.

This section describes the functionality of the Interactive Sensor Technology (IST) feature on the MC92N0-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 MC92N0-G by monitoring motion and orientation.

•

Display Orientation – switch the screen orientation to either landscape or portrait depending on the
MC92N0-G orientation.

•

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

Power Management

The MC92N0-G orientation and motion sensitive data can be used as an indicator of MC92N0-G usage and can be
used to manage the battery power of the MC92N0-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 MC92N0-G active while it is in movement to prevent it from quickly going into suspend mode
while in use.

Operating the MC92N0-G 2 - 25

Display Orientation

The screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape modes automatically, depending on the physical
orientation of the MC92N0-G. For example, if the MC92N0-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 MC92N0-G according to its current position. When the
MC92N0-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.

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 mono 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 MC92N0-G. Ensure that the
MC92N0-G’s volume is set appropriately before putting the headset on. When a headset is plugged into the jack,
the speakerphone is muted.

Zebra recommends a 2.5mm jack headset. See Table 5-1 on page 5-1 for available Zebra headsets.

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 MC92N0-G with an integrated imager has the following features:

NOTE Contact the Zebra Global Customer Support 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.

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 MC92N0-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 MC92N0-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 MC92N0-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 MC92N0-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 MC92N0-G contains the DataWedge and
ScanSample (Windows CE devices only) application that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar

code data and display the bar code content. See
DataWedge and ScanSample on page 3-5 for launching ScanSample.

Chapter 4 fUsing 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.

MC92N0-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 MC92N0-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 MC92N0-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.

4 - 2 MC92N0-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 MC92N0-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 MC92N0-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.

Microsoft Bluetooth Stack

When pairing with a remote device using the Microsoft Bluetooth UI, Security Level 3 (Link Level Encryption) is
automatically used. When developing applications using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack, enable Security Mode 3
using the BthSetEncryption API call. Refer to the Microsoft MSDN for more information.

StoneStreet One Bluetooth Stack

To set Security mode 3 on outgoing serial port connections, set Encrypt Link On All Outgoing Connections
checkbox in the Settings > Security tab. See

Security on page 4-2 for more information.

Bluetooth Configuration

By default, the MC92N0-G is configured to using the Microsoft stack. Refer to the MC92N0-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.
