http://www.psionteklogix.com/EnvironmentalCompliance Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from entering the environment. The Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) prescribes the max-
imum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be placed on the market in EU member states after July 1, 2006. RoHS Logo Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive. Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space limitations or as a result of their exempt status. Disclaimer Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-
to-date. In addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein;
these changes will be incorporated into new editions of the publication. Psion Teklogix Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes in the product(s) and/or the program(s) described in this document without notice, and shall not be responsible for any damages, including but not lim-
ited to consequential damages, caused by reliance on the material presented, including but not limited to typographical errors. Table Of Contents 1. Declaration Of Conformity. 2 2.

28-key numeric keyboard 47-key alpha-numeric keyboard Note: Depending on the operating system installed in your unit Windows Mobile 6 Clas-
sic or Windows Mobile 6 Professional the keyboard keys will vary slightly. Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted. The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the key-
board keys. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 35 Chapter 3: Get To Know The iKn PDA Modifier Keys Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements. 3.4.2 Modifier Keys The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. ?? For example, on a iKn PDA C, 47-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the [4] key. Pressing the [FN/ORANGE] key followed by the [4] key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4. ??
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified. 3.4.2.1 Activating Modifier Keys & The Shift-State Indicator When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modi-
fier key is active. If the shift-state indicator icon is not visible (you can only see the soft keyboard icon), you may need to take a few steps to display the shift-state indicator icon. Tap on Start>Settings followed by the Buttons icon. Tap on the One Shots tab at the bottom of the screen.

Refer to One Shots on page 87 for details. Note too that by default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked on when pressed only once. When a modifier key is locked on, it will remain active until it is pressed again to unlock or turn it off. To help you identify when a modifier key is locked on, the key is represented in the shift-
state indicator icon with a black frame around it. Figure 3.4 Shift-State Indicator Icon Locked Modifier Key 3.4.3 Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state in-
dicator icon. The Keys The [SHIFT] Key The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. You can lock this key on so that when you press an alpha key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen. If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked on essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, dis-
playing uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off. The Arrow Keys The Arrow keys are located near the top of the keyboard. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screenup, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline char-
acter that indicates where the next character you type will appear. The [BKSP/DEL] Key The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. The [DEL] key ([FN/BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 37 Chapter 3: Get To Know The iKn PDA The Keys The [ALT] And [CTRL] Keys The [ALT] and [CTRL] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. Note that if your keyboard is equipped with [Talk] and [End] phone keys, the
[ALT] and [CTRL] keys are displayed as softkeys on the PDA screen. The [TAB] Key Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward. The [ESC] Key Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or activity and return to the previous one. The [SPACE] Key Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, press-
ing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox. The [SCAN] Keys The iKn PDA is equipped with two [SCAN] keys located just below the display and a
[SCAN] button situated on the left of the unit. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For units that do not have internal scanners, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions. The Function Keys[F1] to [F10]
Function keys [F1] to [F10] perform special, custom-defined functions. These keys are ac-
cessed by pressing [FN/BLUE] followed by numeric keys [1] to [10]. They can be used with the Windows Mobile 6 operating system or another application. Keep in mind that the fol-
lowing function keys are used by the Windows Mobile 6 operating system: [F1] - softkey 1,
[F2] - softkey 2, [F6] - volume up, and [F7] - volume down. Function keys [F1], [F2], [F3] and [F4] labelled in grey boxes next to the [TAB], [ALT],
[ESC] and [CTRL] keys allow you to remap these keys for your application. The Macro Keys[M1] to [M3] ??

Battery fault. 3.7 Audio Indicators The audio speaker provides a variety of sounds when a key is pressed, a keyboard character is rejected, scan input is accepted or rejected, an operators entry does not match in a match field or the battery is low. To specify how you want your iKn PDA to respond under various conditions, refer to Sounds on page 105. 42 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 3: Get To Know The iKn PDA Adjusting Speaker Volume 3.7.1 3.8 The volume can be adjusted using the [UP ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW]. The increase volume key is labelled with a plus (+) symbol and the decrease volume key is labelled with a minus (-) symbol. Adjusting Speaker Volume The [VOLUME] button is located on the left side of the PDA, just below the [SCAN]
button. It is a rocker button; pressing the top half of the button increases volume while press-
ing the bottom half of the button decreases it. Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time Note: When the battery is at 50% capacity, a low battery warning is displayed. When the battery is at approximately 10% capacity, a very low battery notification bubble appears. As Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally con-
sidered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the unit at temperature ex-
tremes will shorten the battery life. Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the iKn PDA battery system
(including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance. To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible. The unit is event driventhat is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep mode
(even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unneces-
sary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible. The battery is a smart battery with built-in intelligence. Tapping on the Power icon under Start>Settings>System tab displays a dialog box that pro-
vides detailed information about the battery status of the battery installed in your unit. When the unit is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a weekfor long-term storage, the battery should be removed from the unit. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 43 Chapter 3: Get To Know The iKn PDA Storing Batteries 3.8.1 Storing Batteries Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
Always try to use a first-in first-out approach to minimize storage time. Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at tem-
peratures between 0 C and 20 C. Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit. To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage. A never used Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods. 3.9 Uploading Data In A Docking Station Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your iKn PDA before performing data uploads. The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transac-
tion data to a server computer when a radio link is not available. Note: Refer to Chargers And Docking Stations on page 245 for more details. The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available. Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connec-
tions to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection. When a iKn PDA is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. 3.10 Bluetooth Radio Note: Integrated Bluetooth class II radios are standard on iKn PDA units. Keep in mind also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11g on a single unit. 44 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 3: Get To Know The iKn PDA Pairing A Bluetooth Headset Or Other Bluetooth Devices The iKn PDA is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of radio enables short range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also provides the capabil-
ity to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, exchanging information with other Bluetooth devices and providing network access. Refer to The Bluetooth GPRS Phone on page 188 for setup details. 3.10.1 Pairing A Bluetooth Headset Or Other Bluetooth Devices Before pairing a headset or any other Bluetooth device with your unit, make certain that the Bluetooth device power is enabled; it is enabled by default. If, for some reason, it has been disabled:
Tap on Start>Settings>System tab and then, tap on the Power icon to display the Power dialog box. Tap on the Built-in Devices tab, and tap in the checkbox next to Enable Bluetooth. Next you need to make your iKn PDA visible to other Bluetooth devices; this option is set to off by default. Tap on Start>Settings>Connections tab>Bluetooth icon. Tap on the Mode tab, and check both Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices. Tap OK. Follow the headset manufacturers instructions to place the headset in pairing mode. Some headsets will automatically initiate the pairing to the PDA, and you will be prompted to pair with the headset. Tap on Start>Settings>Connections tab>Bluetooth icon. In the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Wait for the iKn PDA to scan for devices. If your headset does not initiate pairing automatically, carry out these steps:
Choose the headset device from the list and tap on Next. The iKn PDA then prompts you to provide a passcode. The PDA unit then displays a services list with the Hands Free service type checked. With Hands Free checked (enabled), tap Finish. The headset is now paired. Type the passcode (or PIN Personal Identification Number), and then tap on Next. 3.11 Inserting The SD/MMC Card And SIM Card There are two card slots available in the battery compartment of the PDA the lower slot is provided for a SD/MMC (Secure Digital/Multi-Media Card) and the upper slot is for a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 45 Chapter 3: Get To Know The iKn PDA Inserting The Card ??
SD/MMC cards provide additional non-volatile memory to your PDA. SIM cards provide access to the PDAs voice option, the Internet, and so on. 3.11.1 Inserting The Card ??
Switch off the iKn PDA. Remove the battery cover and the battery. A hinged door in the battery compartment protects the connectors. It is hinged on the left side. Orient the SD/MMC or SIM card according to the legend stamped into the battery well Pull the hinged SD door down as the arrow icon on the door indicates. plastic. For SD/MMC cards, slide the card into the lower slot, pushing it inward until it latches into place. For a SIM card, slide the card into the upper slot, pushing it inward until it latches into place. Swing the hinged door back into place, and gently snap it shut. To remove the card:

The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating. The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen pro-
tector (model number ??). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will sodium hydroxide, concentrated caustic solutions, benzyl alcohol, and concentrated acids. 46 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 3: Get To Know The iKn PDA Cleaning The iKn PDA dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced. 3.12.2 Cleaning The iKn PDA Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean. Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the PDA unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The plastic case is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions. To clean ink marks from the keypad or touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 47 WORKING WITH WINDOWS MOBILE 6 4 4.1 Navigating In Windows Mobile 6 And Applications . 51 4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus . 51 4.2 Windows Mobile 6 DesktopToday Screen . 51 4.2.1 Windows Mobile 6 Navigation Bar . 52 4.2.2 Todays Date, Clock And Alarm . 54 4.2.3 Ownership Information. 56 4.2.4 E-mail Notification . 56 4.2.5 Task Notification . 57 4.2.6 Calendar Of Upcoming Appointments. 59 4.2.6.1 Creating And Editing Appointments . 59 4.2.6.2 Adding Reminders . 60 4.2.6.3 Using Categories . 61 4.2.6.4 Deleting Appointments . 62 4.3 Start Menu . 62 4.3.1 Customising The Start Menu. 63 4.4 Camera ??. 64 4.5 Managing Files And Folders . 64 4.5.1 Creating A New Folder. 65 4.5.2 Renaming A File . 65 4.5.3 Copying A File . 65 4.5.4 Deleting A File . 66 4.6 Using Menus . 66 4.6.1 Pop-Up Menus . 66 4.7 The Softkey Bar . 67 4.8 ProgramsUsing Applications . 68 4.9 Settings . 70 4.10 Help . 71 4.11 Entering Text

ping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the F key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/con-
trast, etc.) or run a macro. There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue table and the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 91 Chapter 5: Settings Scancode Remapping scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab.

Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hard-
ware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer
(for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message. Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappingsfor example [F1]
cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twiceeven if the trigger type is different. A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to applications. Double-Click When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also Trigger Press Type on page 120. 118 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 5: Settings Trigger Mappings Show All Modules By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings.

If so, both devices/opera-
tions will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers. It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger con-
sumer)for example, two different trigger keys can be mapped to the RFID File System. Add Key Only existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new source to this list, tap on the Add Key button. A dialog box pops up, allowing you to select the key-
board key to use as a trigger source. Trigger Press Type You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally, when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a trigger down event is sent to the ownerthat is, the application receiving the trigger press informationfollowed by a trigger up. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released, and then pressed again, a double-click event will occur. If a mapping with the Up/down type has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of trigger events.

ing dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you double-
tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec, 200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot. Aim Duration This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser begins sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming-dot. Laser On Time The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the scan button or trigger is pressed. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 5 and 99, each number representing 0.1. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 131 Chapter 5: Settings Decoded (Internal) Scanners Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options 5.28.1.2 Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options Continuous Scan Mode Setting this parameter to on keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the scanner button is pressed and held down. Minimum Cancel Time The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly triggers on/off. Low Power Timeout To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active following a successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned a successful decode restores normal blinking. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min or 3 min. Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and the PDA is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, Low Power Timeout is not used. Parameter Scanning Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter bar codes. Linear Security Level This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality. There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As se-
curity levels increase, the scanners decode speed decreases. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 4. Linear security level 1 specifies that the following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded:

A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. When you double-tap on these parameters, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 255. Delete Char Set ECIs Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to delete any escape sequences representing Character Set ECIs Extended Channel Interpretations (also known as GLIs) from its buffer before transmission. When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417 bar codes containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled. 134 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 5: Settings Decoded (Internal) Scanners Code 39 ECI Decoder Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpre-
tations (ECIs) supported by the scanner. This parameter has no effect on symbols that were not encoded using ECIs. If this parameter is set to off and a symbol that was encoded using an ECI escape is scanned, the scanner transmits the ECI escape followed by the uninterpreted data. 5.28.1.5 Code 39 Enabled Setting this parameter to on enables Code 39. Enable Trioptic Code 39 Note: Trioptic Code 39 and Full ASCII should not be enabled simultaneously. The scanner does not automatically discriminate between these two symbologies. Trioptic Code 39 symbols always contain six characters. Setting this parameter to on allows this type of symbology to be recognized. Convert To Code 32 Note: Code 39 must be enabled in order for this parameter to function. Setting this parameter to on allows the scanner to convert the bar code from Code 39 to Code 32. Code 32 Prefix Note: Convert to Code 32 must be enabled in order for this parameter to function. When this parameter is enabled, the prefix character A is added to all Code 32 bar codes. Set Length L1 And Set Length L2 Lengths for Code 39 can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One discrete length or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s). iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 135 Chapter 5: Settings Decoded (Internal) Scanners Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box labelled Set Code Lengths where you can define the code length that will be decoded by your scanner. Choosing One discrete length allows you to decode only those codes containing a selected length. Choosing Two discrete lengths allows you to decode only those codes containing two selected lengths. Length within a range allows you to decode a code type within a specified range from 1 to 55. Check Digit Verification When this parameter is enabled (set to on), the integrity of a Code 39 symbol is checked to ensure that it complies with specified algorithms. Note: Only those Code 39 symbols that include a Mod 43 check digit are decoded when this parameter is enabled. Transmit Check Digit If the check digit is to be transmitted with the data, this parameter must to enabled. Full ASCII If this parameter is enabled, the characters +, %, and / are used as escape characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character is converted to an equivalent ASCII character. Decode Performance If this parameter is enabled, one of three decode levels can be chosen in the Decode Perfor-
mance Level parameter. 136 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 5: Settings Decoded (Internal) Scanners Field Size/Chars Decode Perf.

Continuous Scan Mode Setting this parameter to on keeps image capture active and continuously decoding as long as the scanner button is pressed and held down. Center Bar Code Only Note: This parameter must be disabled when reading Composite bar codes. When more than one bar code is visible in a single snap shot, this parameter allows you to specify that only the centre image within the imager framing marker be read. When this pa-
162 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 5: Settings Imager rameter is set to on, the target dot is pointed at the centre image and only that image is returned. Max Number Barcodes This parameter specifies the maximum number of bar codes the imager will attempt to decode in an image. A maximum of 6 bar codes can be decoded at one time. Barcodes Must Decode This parameter specifies the minimum number of bar codes that the imager must decode in order to report success. Note: This number must be less than the number of bar codes assigned to Max Number Barcodes. The driver validates and reassigns the value if necessary. Window Width Window Width determines the width of the captured image in pixels. Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter, if neces-
sary; the driver will also use the Window Width value to horizontally center the image in the field of view. Window Height This parameter determines the height of the captured image in pixels. Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter, if neces-
sary; the driver will also use Window Height value to vertically center the image in the field of view. Dot Time (msec) The value selected for Dot Time (msec) determines (in milliseconds) how long the target-
ing dot remains on before the scanner begins capturing images. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of between 0 and 3000. A value of 0 disables the target dot. 5.28.3.2 Advanced Options Imager Important: Do not adjust the advanced options without first consulting Psion Teklogix technical support. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 163 Chapter 5: Settings Imager Factory Defaults On Reboot The value assigned to this parameter determines whether or not the driver will restore the factory defaults to the imager device on the next reboot. Note: The driver will default the imager device on a clean reset, regardless of the value of this parameter. Min Scan Duration This parameter defines the minimum amount of time in seconds that the imager will scan when the trigger is pressed and held down without successful decode. Note: The actual scan duration when the trigger is pressed relies on the value assigned to Captures Per HW Trigger, below. Captures Per HW Trigger The value assigned to this parameter determines the number of captures the imager device will take while the imager's internal hardware trigger is held down. Note: This parameter, together with Min Scan Duration, determines the actual scan duration. When the scan trigger is pressed and held down, the driver starts a timer based on the value of Min Scan Duration and also sends a command to emulate the hardware trigger. When completed, if the time has not yet expired, it will send another command to the imager device, forcing the imager to flash again using the value assigned to Captures Per HW Trigger. Auto Exposure Important: This parameter value should only be changed by qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. It should be left at the default value on. Setting this parameter to on allows the imager to make automatic gain, integration and illu-
mination adjustments based on ambient light before capturing the bar code. If the adjustment is insufficient, further adjustments are made automatically before another image is captured. 164 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 5: Settings Imager Fast Converge Note: Auto Exposure must be set to on in order for this parameter to function. Keep in mind that while this parameter can improve imager performance, Fast Converge increases battery power consumption. Setting this parameter to on speeds the Auto Exposure process. It allows the imager to rapidly snap a number of bar code capture attempts while finding ideal values for gain, inte-
gration and illumination. Max Gain, Max Integration And Max Illumination Important: These parameter values should only be changed by qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. These parameters represent internal values used by the 2D imager. The Auto Exposure pa-
rameter automatically adjusts the Max Gain, Max Integration and Max Illumination parameters to produce the best bar code read. Keep in mind that Auto Exposure must be set to on in order for these parameter values to be automatically adjusted. Double-tapping on any of these parameters displays an associated dialog box in which an al-
lowable range is displayed: Max Gain 357 to 7920, Max Integration 0 to 65535, Max Illumination 0 to 7. Decoder Timeout The decoder is a set of algorithms that examine the image and attempt to find the bar codes, and then turn the pixels into data that the computer can usethis process takes time. De-
coder Timeout limits the amount of time the decoder will spend attempting to decode an image, and forces it to stop and grab a new image, which will probably be easier to decode. Note: When decoding multiple bar codes in one image, the value assigned to Decoder Tim-
eout should be increased to 200ms/extra bar code after the first. Adaptive Windowing Adaptive Windowing is an advanced technique used to speed up bar code recognition in certain applications. This parameter automatically reduces the size of the window to the user-programmed window size when it successfully decodes (which reduces decode time the next time it is used), but increases it to the full size window (1280x1024 for SX5303) on a failed decode. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 165 Chapter 5: Settings Imager Note: This feature assumes that you have reached an understanding about how the device operates in your application, and that, after a learning period, operators will get used to using the imager in one particular way. It also assumes that a trained opera-
tor will usually only have near miss scenarios. Constant Illumination Constant Illumination is used to reduce the intrusiveness of the devices illumination on the observer. Instead of the illumination turning on and off every time the device attempts a decode (2-4 times per second), the illumination stays on from the time the trigger is pulled until a decode is successful. This feature is useful in low light environments, since it will also reduce the distraction that the illumination can have on nearby coworkers. 5.28.3.3 Code 39 Settings Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable Code 39.

If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is con-
sidered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this feature. A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the Click Data parameter. When a value is not assigned for the Click Data, double-click-
ing the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the Dot Time parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the Click Data parameter, double-
clicking the scanner trigger inserts the Click Data value rather than initiating a scan. Click Data For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your PDA following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the key-
press is displayed. 172 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 5.28.4.2 Display Parameters Chapter 5: Settings Options Tab Scan Result When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen. Scan Indicator When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner is activated. Scan Result Time (sec) The value assigned to the Scan Result Time (sec) parameter determines how long the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of 0 (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value. Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the Result Time has expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger. Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep These parameters determine whether or not the PDA emits an audible scanner beep when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it. Soft Scan Timeout This parameter is used by the SDK Scan function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the SDK function, instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.). Scan Log File If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the Scan Log File is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log file is written to persistent storage. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 173 Chapter 5: Settings Translations Tab 5.28.5 Translations Tab The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in sequential order. Only one case will be applied to a bar code and a case will only be applied if all rules specified in the case are successful if a rule within a case fails, the entire case fails. In the Translation tab, tap on the Case # to create rules. 174 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Tap on the No rule dropdown menu to display the rules. Chapter 5: Settings Translations Tab When you choose a rule, an associated screen is displayed in which you can define the rule. 5.28.5.1 Case Rules The case rules are defined as follows:
No rule ignored. Match at index matches the match string at a specified index. Match and replace at index matches the match string at a specified index and replaces/changes it. Replace at index replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range. Add barcode prefix/suffix adds a global prefix or suffix. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 175 Chapter 5: Settings Total Recall Verify barcode size verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally be assigned first, before creating subsequent rules. Search and replace replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule cannot fail.) Warning: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code size is important, it should be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied. Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file
(see Scan Log File on page 173) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing. 5.29 Total Recall Total Recall is a Psion Teklogix utility developed to back up/restore applications and settings.

When the iKn PDA network connection is severed, the Status field displays Ready to Connect. A unit equipped with a GSM/GPRS expansion board displays the signal strength in the main Wireless WAN screen, even while a connection is active. Units equipped with certain other modems (e.g. Sierra Wireless UMTS and CDMA modems, Novatel UMTS modems) do not display the signal strength while a connection is active.The Rx bytes and Tx bytes fields esti-
mate the amount of data transmitted and received, respectively. 5.36.3.1 Shutting Down The Wireless WAN User Interface While it is not usual to shut down the GSM/GPRS user interface, you can accomplish this by tapping on the File menu and choosing the Exit command in the Wireless WAN screen. Note: Once youve shut down the user interface, you can only enable the radio by tapping on the Wireless WAN icon to display the dialog box. 5.36.4 Advanced Information In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your PDA, setup is auto-
matic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading Establishing A Connection on page 203 to make a connection.

tion, the modem may need to be replaced. NDIS error An internal software error has occurred. If a reset does not clear this condition, Psion Tek-
logix technical support may need to investigate further. 5.36.5 Tools Menu The Tools menu in the main Wireless WAN dialog box offers some additional, advanced setup features. 5.36.5.1 Data Connection Configuration Enable Automatic Connect If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless WAN user interface will attempt to establish a packet data connection whenever packet data is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction). To activate the automatic connection mode:
206 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Tap on the OK button. While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto. To close the currently active connection (if any) and disable the automatic connection mode:
Tap on Disable Auto. Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected to open and close connections. If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes the packet data connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try to re-establish the connection. Use Virtual Serial Port If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly. This checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network) clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The default setting is disabled
(unchecked). Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port. Enable Automatic Configuration In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is re-
quired. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is detected (this may require a reset). The connection parameters are retrieved from a database. Manual configuration should be necessary only if:
One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.) An operator has assigned individual packet data user names and passwords. A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be configured manually. A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be configured manually. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 207 Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Important: For CDMA/1xRTT, automatic configuration is not available connec-
tions must be configured manually. Under APN, the packet service access number must be entered (typically #777). In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a profile. Every profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special in that it is always present and can neither be edited nor deleted. (A sample dialog box is pre-
sented on the page following.) The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database. The home network (the network that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While there can be many configured profiles, only one profile can be active at any time. If connection profiles are configured manually then the Enable automatic configuration:
checkbox should normally be unchecked. In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, auto-
matic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured profile for each SIM card. For this to work each profile has to be configured while the corre-
sponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM is ready). The Select profile drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects which profile a subsequent action applies to. A profile named Default is always present and contains the current parameters from the database. The following actions are available:
Show The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap on this button. For the Default profile, the publicly known password is shown otherwise, the password is hidden. Edit The parameters of the selected profile can be edited when you choose the Edit button. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the Default profile. Delete The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile. Activate When this button is chosen, the selected profile is made the active profile. Activation is possible only if the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox is unchecked. 208 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual New Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile. Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a secret password and unauthorized access to the device is a concern even after the SIM PIN has been entered, the password should not be entered in the New Data Profile dialog box and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this case, you will be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button in the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected). Reset The Reset button in the New Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes resets all entry fields to the values they had when the dialog box was opened. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 209 Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu Advanced IP The Advanced IP button in the Show Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes opens another dialog box that allows you to configure a static IP address as well as the IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS and WINS resolvers. 5.36.5.2 Security Configuration The Security Configuration dialog box is called up through the Tools menu. Note: Security configuration is not available with CDMA modems. The Security Configuration dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN. You will need the current PIN to make any of these changes. The PIN must be enabled in order to be changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry field is greyed out.) Note: Keep in mind that some network operators do not allow the SIM PIN to be dis-
abled. A new PIN must consist of 4 to 8 numeric digits. The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By de-
fault, this checkbox is unchecked. While the checkbox remains unchecked, any PIN entered on startup or through the Security Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to the modem is stored in memory for as long as the device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is then used without further user interaction whenever the modem requires a PIN (such as resume after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically entered in the Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up. 210 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox should be checked. In this case, you will be prompted whenever a PIN is required and the PIN is not stored. Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu 5.36.5.3 Network Configuration Note: Network configuration is not available with CDMA modems. Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network. In the main Wireless WAN screen:
By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have packet data roaming agreements. In this case, youll need to manually select the network which you know to support packet data roaming. Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable auto-
matic network select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is disabled, you must select a network manually. Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for avail-
able networks is a lengthy operation a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network identi-
fier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code) is displayed. Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an Available status, it does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement cov-
ers packet data. A status of Forbidden indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN dialog box changes to Emergency calls only, No network found, GPRS not available or GPRS not allowed. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 211 Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu 5.36.5.4 Driver Mode Configuration By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked). The driver must be disabled in order to access the modem directly (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approv-
als, etc.). In most cases, the Virtual WWAN serial port can be used and it is not necessary to disable the WWAN driver. If the Enable driver checkbox is not checked, the driver is shut down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box tapped. If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver check-
box is checked, the Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is closed using the OK button. Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can be displayed. Since all currently supported modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port detection checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a serial port can be selected manually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used with an in-
ternal GSM modem that was not recognized by the automatic detection or an external GSM modem connected to a serial port of the computer through USB or through Bluetooth. An external modem connected to a serial port must support 115.2kbit/s, 8bit, no parity and hard-
ware flow control. 5.36.5.5 Modem Information The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited they only display information about the iKn PDA modem. If the network operator has not programmed a users phone number into the 212 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 5: Settings Tools Menu SIM, the Phone field remains empty. The modem serial number is called IMEI for GSM modems and ESN for CDMA modems. The SIM ID is sometimes referred to as the ICC ID (International Charge Card Identifier). Not all modems support the retrieval of the SIM ID. In particular, the Novatel Merlin UMTS modems and the Option Globetrotter modems do not support SIM ID retrieval. If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may be available. Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon. Tap on the Built-in Devices tab. Modem Power Modes The power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power icon rather than through the Wireless WAN user interface. To adjust PC Card and CF card modems settings:
If the checkbox for a modem is unchecked, power is not applied to the modem and a driver is not loaded (neither the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is checked, power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the PDA is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the iKn PDA enters suspend mode. To enable a modem module that is built into the unit:
Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon. For a modem module that is built into the iKn PDA, the settings can be found under the Built-in Devices tab. In this case, one of the following power modes can be selected:
Disabled No power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded. Power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the PDA is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the terminal enters suspend mode. When the iKn PDA enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered indefinitely. Enabled Keep on for 5 min Enabled Keep on for 15 min Enabled Keep on for 30 min Enabled Keep on for 1 hour Enabled Keep on for 2 hours Enabled Off in Suspend Enabled Always On iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 213 Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu When the PDA enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If the iKn PDA is not turned on again during the configured time, the unit briefly wakes up from suspend mode, shuts down the modem, and enters suspend mode again. The default mode is Enabled -
Keep on for 1 hour. At the cost of a slightly increased power consumption in suspend mode, the modes where the modem remains powered during suspend mode have several advantages. When the PDA wakes from suspend mode, the modem is ready immediately; modem or network initializa-
tion is not required. A packet data session can thus remain active during suspend mode. In these modes, the modem is also able to wake up the PDA if the network status changes, or there is a new incoming SMS. 5.36.6 SMS Menu SMS functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a SIM card, the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initialization, resulting in a no-
ticeable delay before the SMS functions become available. 214 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 5.36.6.1 New SMS Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu Tapping on New opens a dialog box for sending a new SMS message. The recipient's phone number (to be entered in the To field) can consist of the digits 0 through 9, as well as the *
and # characters, optionally preceded by one + character, indicating an international number
(i.e. the country code follows immediately after the + character). By checking the Store message in Outbox field, a new message can be stored in the Outbox before being sent. If no storage space is available or the modem does not support the storage of outgoing messages, this checkbox is disabled. 5.36.6.2 Inbox Tapping on Inbox opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for example, from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted with the iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 215 Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu most recently received message first. The list can be sorted by any other column by clicking on the corresponding column heading. Clicking the same column heading twice reverses the sort order. Pressing any letter or digit moves the highlight to the next message whose address begins with that letter or number. Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Regional Settings in the Con-
trol Panel. For a new date or time format to take effect, the Inbox has to be closed and re-opened. The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox message list). Pressing the Reply button opens the new message dialog as described above, except the destination phone number is already filled in. Pressing the Delete button erases the message. 5.36.6.3 Outbox Tapping on Outbox opens a list of sent messages. Otherwise the Outbox behaves exactly as the Inbox described above. The date and time when a message was sent is not available for GSM modems. 216 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 5.36.6.4 SMS Configuration Chapter 5: Settings SMS Menu Tapping on SMS Configuration opens the SMS configuration dialog. The SMS Centre Address follows the same rules as the recipient's phone number in the New message dialog. The Message Validity Period parameter is sent to the SMS Centre with each message sent subsequently and instructs the SMS Centre on how long it should attempt to deliver the message to the recipient (the SMS Centre may impose an upper limit on the validity period regardless of the setting). Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus, the validity period is rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog is opened, the rounded value is shown. The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked. In this case, when a new message arrives and the SMS storage becomes full, the oldest received message is de-
leted. If any string is entered as the Message Suppression Prefix, messages beginning with that string will not be shown in either the Inbox or Outbox. In this way, messages intended for another application running on the same device can be hidden. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 217 PROGRAMS 6 6.1 Programs . 221 6.2 Games . 221 6.3 ActiveSync . 221 6.3.1 Synchronization . 221 6.4 Calculator. 222 6.5 Demo Scanner . 222 6.6 Office Mobile. 222 6.6.1 Excel Mobile . 222 6.6.1.1 Workbook Components . 223 6.6.2 Word Mobile . 223 6.6.2.1 Data Entry Modes . 224 6.6.2.2 Sharing Documents With Your PC . 224 6.6.3 PowerPoint Mobile . 225 6.7 File Explorer . 225 6.8 Internet Sharing. 225 6.8.1 Creating An Internet Connection. 225 6.8.2 Using Internet Sharing . 226 6.9 Notes . 227 6.9.1 Creating A Note . 227 6.9.2 Converting Handwritten Notes To Text . 228 6.9.3 Renaming A Note . 230 6.9.4 Recording Notes . 230 6.9.5 Synchronizing A Note . 231 6.10 Pictures & Videos . 231 6.10.1 Moving Photos To The iKn PDA . 231 6.10.2 Opening A Photo . 232 6.10.3 Deleting A Photo . 232 6.10.4 Editing A Photo . 232 6.10.5 Creating A Slide Show . 232 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual 219 6.11 Summit Client Utility (SCU). 233 6.12 Search . 234 6.12.1 Internet Explorer . 234 6.12.2 Browsing Web Sites . 234 6.13 Messaging . 235 6.13.1 Folders . 235 6.13.2 Synchronizing E-mail With Outlook . 236 6.13.3 Changing Synchronization Settings . 237 6.14 Tasks . 238 6.15 Remote Desktop Mobile . 238 6.15.1 Connecting To A Terminal Server . 238 6.15.2 Disconnecting Without Ending A Session. 238 6.15.3 Ending A Session . 238 6.16 Windows Media . 238 6.17 Windows Update . 239 220 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Chapter 6: Programs Programs 6.1 Programs The Programs menu provides access to all the applications available on your iKn PDA.

These settings allow you to enhance the security of data across the wireless LAN. Refer to EAP Credentials on page A-5 and SCU Security Capabilities on page A-4 for details about these settings. SCU Security Capabilities The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the hand-held and wireless WAN infrastructure that transmit and receive data. A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and en-
cryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated suppli-
cant that supports a broad range of security capabilities, including:
802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for WPA2 and WPA. Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP. Common EAP types include:
EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication. PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to encrypt EAP traf-
fic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP:
A-4 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU) EAP Credentials EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate for use against Windows Active Directory and domains. EAP-GTC, resulting in PEAP-GTC: This is for authentication with one-time passwords
(OTPs) against OTP data bases such as SecureID. LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to off-line dictionary attacks. EAP-FAST: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to protect against off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the use of server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains. Note: PEAP and EAP-TLS require the use of Windows facilities for the configuration of digital certificates. SCU EAP Types The following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be configured in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With each of these four types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the config, you will be prompted to enter credentials the first time the radio attempts to associate to an access point that supports 802.1X (EAP). Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:
LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended. EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning. EAP-TLS will work with a 802.11b/g radio module when Windows Zero Config (WZC) rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With WZC, the native Windows suppli-
cant instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used. PEAP-GTC: SCU supports static (login) passwords only. A.3.2 EAP Credentials Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:
If the credentials specified in the config are incorrect and that config is used, the authen-
tication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted to enter correct credentials. If the credentials are not specified in the config, when the radio tries to associate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials. iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual A-5 Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU) ThirdPartyConfig When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials, or cancel the operation. If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and authenticate. If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter credentials. If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the radio will not attempt to associate with that config until you perform one of the following actions
(while the config is the active config):
- Cause the iKn PDA to go through a power cycle or suspend/resume.
- Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the Diags windows.
- Modify the config, and tap on Commit. A.3.3 Alternatively, you can choose another config as the active config and then switch back to the config for which EAP authentication was cancelled. ThirdPartyConfig If you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating sys-
tems Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for the CF radio installed in the unit. Choosing this config means that WZC must be used to define the following radio and secu-
rity options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption.The SCU settings for ThirdPartyConfig include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and Radio Mode. These SCU settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC settings will be applied to the radio module. A-6 iKn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual A.4 Global Settings Tab Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU) Global Settings Tab The Global Settings tab allows you to define radio and security settings that apply to all configs (profiles), along with settings that apply specifically to the SCU.
