operate in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, pair the device to the cradle
either by inserting it in the cradle (if pairing on insertion is enabled), or by scanning the pairing bar code. In
Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can pair up to seven devices to one cradle. To use this feature, scan the multipoint
bar code in Multipoint-to-Point Communication on page 4-19.
The cradle includes pairing bar codes on both its front and back. To pair the device with the cradle, scan a pairing
bar code. A high-low-high-low beep sequence followed by a low-high beep sequence indicates successful pairing
and connection to the remote device. A long low, long high beep sequence indicates unsuccessful pairing.
NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the device to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
Lost Connection to Host
If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle's host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power
supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host,
reestablish a connection with the host:
1.Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.
2.Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.
3.Wait three seconds.
4.Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.
5.Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if the host requires.
6.Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.
Radio Communications
The device can communicate with remote devices via Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, or by pairing with a
cradle. For radio communication parameters, detailed information about operational modes, Bluetooth Technology
Profile Support and pairing, see Chapter 4, Radio Communications.

Simple Inventory
Similar to Scan Inventory, the Simple Inventory screen allows the user to enter and transmit inventory information.
It differs from Scan Inventory in that it transmits data the same way the data is scanned into the MT. For example, if
the user scans bar codes 123, 456, ABC, 123, 012, ABC in this order, the application transmits the bar codes to the
host in the same order:
123
456
ABC

CHAP X Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is one of the two
main authentication protocols used to verify the user name and
password for PPP Internet connections. CHAP is more secure than
PAP because it performs a three way handshake during the initial link
establishment between the home and remote machines. It can also
repeat the authentication anytime after the link is established.
EAP-GTCX XEAP-GTC is used during phase 2 of the authentication process. This
method uses a time-synchronized hardware or software token
generator, often in conjunction with a user PIN, to create a one-time
password.
MD5X Message Digest-5 (MD5) is an authentication algorithm developed by
RSA. MD5 generates a 128-bit message digest using a 128-bit key,
IPSec truncates the message digest to 96 bits.
MS CHAPX Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protoc ol ( MS CHAP) is
an implementation of the CHAP protocol that Microsoft created to
authenticate remote Windows workstations. MS CHAP is identical to

establish the initial link. PAP is also more vulnerable to attack because
it sends authentication packets throughout the network. Nevertheless,
PAP is more commonly used than CHAP to log in to a remote host like
an Internet service provider.
TLS X XEAP TLS is used during phase 2 of the authentication process. This
method uses a user certificate to authenticate.
User Certificate Selection
If the user checked the User Certificate check box on the Tunneled Authentication dialog or if TLS is the selected
authentication type, the Installed User Certificates dialog displays. Select a certificate from the drop-down list of
currently installed certificates before proceeding. The selected certificate’s name appears in the drop-down list. If
the required certificate is not in the list, install it.

User Certificate Installation
There are two methods available to install a user certificate for authentication. The first is to obtain the user
certificate from the Certificate Authority (CA). This requires connectivity with that CA. The second method is to
install the user certificate from a file that was placed on the device.
To install a user certificate from the CA:
1.Tab to Install Certificate and press ENT. The Import Certificate dialog displays.

After the installation completes, the Installed User Certs dialog displays and the certificate is available in the
drop-down for selection.
NOTE To successfully install a user certificate, the device must already be connected to a network from which
the server is accessible.

NOTE Installing a user certificate from a file requires that the file be of type “*.pfx”. Also this file type requires the
user to supply a password in order to be read by Fusion.
Server Certificate Selection
If the user selects the Validate Server Certificate check box, a server certificate is required.
Select a certificate from the drop-down list of currently installed certificates in the Installed Server Certificates
dialog. An hour glass may appear as the wizard populates the existing certificate list. If the required certificate is

User Name
The user name and password can be entered (but is not required) when the profile is created. If the userna me and
password are not entered in the profile, then when attempting to connect, the user is be prompted to supply them.
The entered information (credentials) is saved (cached) for future reconnections.
Whether or not the username and password are entered into the profile affects how the profile is treated during a
Profile Roaming operation. Profiles are excluded from consideration if they require user entry of credential
information.
If the profile uses an authentication tunnel type of EAP-GTC and Token is selected (see Password on page 2-56),
then you can control certain behavior by whether you choose to enter a value in the Enter User Name field. If you
enter a value in the Enter User Name field, then whenever the Fusion software prompts you to enter credentials,
the username field in the interactive credential dialog is initialized with the value that you entered when you created
the profile. If you enter a different value in the username field of the interactive credential dialog, it is cached and
used to initialize the username field the next time the interactive credential dialog is shown for that profile. If you do
not enter a value in the Enter User Name field when you create an EAP-GTC token profile, then the username field
in the interactive credential dialog is initialized to blank. After you enter a username in the interactive credential

dialog, it is cached as usual, but it is not be used to initialize the username field the next time the interactive
credential dialog is shown for that profile; the username field is initialized to blank. In summary, the user can control
whether the username field in the interactive credential dialog is initialized, either with the last-interactively-entered
username for that profile or with the username entered into the profile, by whether any value is entered in the Ent er User Name field during profile entry.

Password
Use the Password dialog to enter a password. If EAP/TLS is the selected authentication type, the password dialog
does not display. Note that if a username was entered and no password is entered, Fusion assumes that no
password is a valid password.
