TC8000 or cradle may for small periods of time alternately en able and disable battery charging to keep the battery
at acceptable temperatures. The TC8000 and cradle indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal
temperatures via its LED.
Daisy-chaining Ethernet Cradles
Daisy-chain up to ten 5-Slot Ethernet cradles to connect several cradles to an Ethernet network. Use either a
straight or crossover cable. Daisy-chaining should not be attempted when the main Ethernet con nection to the first
cradle is 10 Mbps as throughput issues will almost certainly result.
To daisy-chain 5-Slot Ethernet cradles:
1. Connect power to each 5-Slot Ethernet Cradle with Battery Charger.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to port 1 on the back of the first cradle and to the Ethernet switch.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to port 2 on the back of the first cradle to port 1 on the back of the second cradle.
4. Connect additional cradles as described in step 2 and 3.
Ethernet Settings
The following settings can be configured when using Ethernet communication:
•
Proxy Settings
•
Static IP.
Configuring Ethernet Proxy Settings
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 filter ing
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 ab le to set up secu re computing environm ents within their companies,
nd proxy configur
a
ation is an essential part of doing that. Proxy configuration acts as a secur ity 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.

CHAPTER 4 DATAWEDGE
CONFIGURATION
DataWedge Configuration
This chapter applies to DataWedge on Android devices. DataWedge is an application that reads data, processes
the data and sends the data to an application.
Basic Scanning
Scanning can be performed using either the laser scanner or imager.
To capture bar code data:
1. Ensure that an application is open on the TC8000 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Aim the exit window at a bar code.
3. Pre ss the tr igg er butto n. Ensu re the re d sca n beam cove rs th e en tir e ba r cod e . The Charging/ Sca n LED
Indicators illuminate green and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.
Profiles
DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave
with different applications.
Profile information consists of:
•
•
•
•
Using profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configurat
can have a profile which outputs scanned data in the required format when that application comes to the
foreground. DataWedge can be configured to process the same set of captured data differently based on the
requirements of each application.
DataWedge includes the following visible and hidden pre-configured
applications:
•
Visible profiles:
•Profile0 - created automatically the first
user created profiles associated with an application.
• Launcher - di

time DataWedge runs. Generic profile used when ther e are no
profiles which support specific built-in
Profile0
Profile0 can be edited but cannot be associated with an application. That is, DataWedge allows manipulation of plug-in settings for Profile0 but it does not allow assignment of a foreground application. This configuration allows
DataWedge to send output data to any foreground application ot her than applications associated with user-defined profiles when Profile0 is enabled.
Profile0 can be disabled to allow DataWedge to only send output data to those applications which are associated
in user-defined profiles. For example, create a profile associating a specific application, disable Profile0 and then
scan. DataWedge only sends data to the application specified in the user-created profile. This adds additional
security to DataWedge enabling the sending of data only to specified applications.
Plug-ins
A plug-in is a software module utilized in DataWedge to extend its functionality to encompass technologies such as
bar code scanning. The plug-ins can be categorized into three types based on their operations:
•
Input Plug-ins
•
Output Plug-ins
•
Process Plug-ins.
Input Plug-ins
An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a bar code scanner contained in, or attached to the device.
DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.
•
Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in – The Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in is resp onsible for reading data from
the integrated bar code scanner and supports diff erent types of bar code reade rs including laser, imager and
internal camera. Raw data read from the bar code scanner can be processed or formatted using Process
Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the bar code scanner to issue user
alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.
Output Plug-ins
Output Plug-ins are responsible for sending the data from Input Plug-ins to a foreground application on the device.
DataWedge Configuration4 - 3
•
Keystroke Output Plug-in – The Keystroke Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input
Plug-in to the foreground applications by emulating keystrokes.
•
Intent Output Plug-in – The Intent Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins
to foreground applications using the Android Intent mechanism.
•
IP Output Plug-in – The IP Output Plug-in collects and sends data received fr om the Input Plug-ins to a host
computer via a network connection. Captured data can be sent over an IP network to a specified IP address
and port using either TCP or UDP transport protocols.
Process Plug-ins
Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement, befo r e
sending to the foreground application via the Output Plug-in.
•
Basic Data Formatting Process Plug-in– The Basic Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to add a
prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
•
Advanced Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Advanced Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge
to apply rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in
before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
Profiles Screen
To launch DataWedge, touch > DataWedge. By default, three profiles appear:
•

Ignore Code128 FCN4 - When enabled, and a Code 128 bar code has an embedded FNC4 character, it will
be removed from the data and the following characters will not be changed. When the feature is disabled, the
FNC4 character will not be transmitted but the following character will have 128 added to it. (Available on Bar
Code Imager and Camera Scanner)
•
Check ISBT Table - The ISBT specification includes a table that lists several types of ISBT bar codes that
are commonly used in pairs. If ISBT128 Concat Mode is set, enable Check ISBT Table to concatenate only
those pairs found in this table. Other types of ISBT codes are not concatenated. A check in the checkbox
indicates that redundancy is enabled (default - disabled).

Security Level - The scanner offers four levels of decode security for Code 128 bar co des. Select increasing
levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security
and scanner aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.
