Cable Tie Bracket

Figure 2-1

Cable Tie Bracket

Installing the VC6000 Series in a Vehicle

Guidelines for Routing Cables

•

Establish a neat route for the cable, staying clear of moving parts or hot surfaces.

•

Fix the cable to an existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable ties.

•

When the cabling must go through a panel, use a suitable cable guard.

•

When fixing a conduit or a cable on the outside of a vehicle, use P-Clips. Either drill and tap the hole or use a nut and bolt to secure the clip.

•

Ensure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum recommended radius is 6.35 cm (2.5 inches).

•

Ensure cables do not swing or chafe on the structure. This often requires using cable ties approximately every one foot, and ensuring the cables do not flex often, especially where they connect to the VC6000 series.

•

If you must re-position the VC6000 series occasionally, ensure there is enough slack in the cable to accommodate movement without putting tension on the cable.

•

Use plastic cable ties to secure the cables to the Cable Tie Bracket of the VC6000 (see Figure 2-1).

•

Connect the power as close to the battery as possible, but not directly from the battery terminals, and not before any main fuse.

•

On gasoline, diesel or propane electric lift trucks, connect the power as close to the battery terminals as possible, and avoid using existing wiring.

•

Ensure that the fuse is as close as possible to the power source.

•

The fuse must be securely mounted and in an accessible location.

•

Do not install where the cable will be a trip hazard or interfere with safety of day-to-day activities or otherwise create a hazardous condition.

•

Fix the cable to existing cable runs inside the electric lift truck using cable ties, but make sure they are away from any moving or hot surfaces.

•

If the VC6090 needs to be re-positioned, be sure there is enough slack in the cable to accommodate movement without putting tension on the cable.

•

DO NOT wind a cable in and out of the mesh on a cage.

•

DO NOT route the cables on the outside of the electric lift truck or areas where the electric lift truck may come in contact with objects.

CAUTION Shortening or modifying the cable and/or by-passing the in-line fuse voids the product warranty, nullifies

the product UL safety mark, and may result in a hazardous condition. Do not modify the cable under any circumstance.

CAUTION The VC6000 series should operate only in negative ground electrical systems. Check the ground polarity

of the vehicle before starting the VC6000 series installation to verify that the polarity is correct. Accidentally reversing the polarity will not damage the VC6000 series, but will cause the cable fuse to blow.

Smart Dialing

Smart Dialing makes it easy to dial a phone number. When you start entering numbers or characters, Smart Dialing automatically searches and sorts the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts, and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list to dial.

Open the Phone screen, then tap the keys on the Phone keypad that correspond to the phone number or contact to call. The contact panel lists contacts that match the sequence that you entered.

Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the sequence entered.

To find a phone number:

•

•

Enter the first three digits or more to find a phone number from the saved Contacts and SIM card.

To find a contact name:

• Enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or last name. Smart Dialing searches for the letter starting from the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Smith, Bernard”, “Adams, John”, “Carlson, Eileen”, “Dillon, Albert”, “Childs, Larry”, “Cooper, Robert” and “Parks, Celine”.

• If the matching list is long narrow down the search further by entering another letter. Using the same example above, tap “3” which is associated with (d, e, f), the matching list is narrowed down to the following names: “Smith, Bernard”, “Adams, John”, and “Parks, Celine”.

Chapter 5 Wireless Applications

Introduction

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 VC6096 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the wireless LAN and the VC6096 must be configured. Refer to the documentation provided with the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.

802.11d is enabled by default. When enabled, the AP must be configured the same in order to connect.

To configure the VC6096, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the wireless radio in the VC6096. The

Chapter 6 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 (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption.

VC6000 Series 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. To use the VC6000 as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and the VC6000.

VC6000 Series with Bluetooth technology use the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack. To program Bluetooth within the VC6000, refer to the Software Developer Kit (SDK) documentation.

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/g 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/g high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Zebra mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.

6 - 2 VC6000 Series Product Reference Guide

The Bluetooth radio in this VC6000 Series 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.

NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b/g 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 mobile computer

•

Implement application-level security.

Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off

Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the VC6000 Series. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.

Disabling Bluetooth

To disable Bluetooth, tap Bluetooth icon > Disable Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon changes to indicate that Bluetooth is disabled.

Using Bluetooth 6 - 3

Bluetooth Power States

Cold Boot

Performing a cold or warm boot on the VC6000 Series turns off Bluetooth after initialization (which takes a few moments). It is normal to see the Bluetooth icon appear and disappear, as well as a wait cursor, when initialization proceeds in all modes.

Warm Boot

Performing a warm boot on the VC6000 Series returns Bluetooth to the last state after initialization.

Suspend

Suspending the VC6000 Series turns off Bluetooth.

NOTE When the VC6000 Series is placed in suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio mode powers off and the piconet

(Bluetooth connection) is dropped. When the VC6000 Series resumes, it could take up to 10 seconds for the Bluetooth radio driver to re-initialize the radio.

Resume

When the VC6000 Series resumes, Bluetooth turns on if it was on prior to suspend.

Modes

The BTExplorer application has two modes for managing Bluetooth connections: Wizard Mode and Explorer Mode. The Wizard Mode is for novice Bluetooth users and the Explorer Mode is for experienced Bluetooth users. To switch between modes, select View > Wizard Mode or View > Explorer Mode.

Wizard Mode

Wizard Mode provides a simple process for discovering and connecting to Bluetooth devices.

Wizard Mode shows the devices and services in a simple Favorites view created by following the step-by-step wizard.

Explorer Mode

The Explorer Mode window is easy to navigate and provides greater control to users familiar with Bluetooth. The menu bar provides quick access to the options and tools used to connect to devices. To access Explorer Mode, tap View > Explorer Mode.

NOTE Switching between Wizard Mode and Explorer Mode closes all active connections.
