613Developing and Installing ApplicationsUse this chapter to understand the guidelines for developing applications and installing them on the CN4. This chapter contains these sections:•Developing Applications for the CN4•Installing Applications on the CN4•Freeing Up Virtual Memory for Applications•Launching An Application Automatically•Upgrading the System Software
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications62 CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s ManualDeveloping Applications for the CN4Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the CN4. The Resource Kits are a library of C++ and .NET components grouped by functionality that you can use to create applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide (P/N 934-006-xxx).Installing Applications on the CN4There are several ways you can install applications on your mobile computer:•You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.•If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver the .exe file.•You can copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The mobile computer uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place your application in any of these memory locations on the mobile computer: •The Object Store or the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a OneNand® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset, although it might be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you have the option to store persistent registry information to the Flash File Store region.•The optional miniSD card. If you are using a miniSD card, this should be the primary location to place application installation files. The miniSD card creates the Storage Card folder on the CN4.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing ApplicationsCN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 63•The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so that they are “ready-to-run” when you perform clean boot. Since the flash in the system has a limited number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing.Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate location. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide which is available from www.intermec.com/idl. There are several ways you can install files and applications on the computer:•SmartSystems Foundation•ActiveSync•miniSD card•FTP server•Wavelink AvalancheThe following sections explain how to use each one of these processes to install your application on the computer.Installing Applications Using SmartSystems FoundationYou can use the SmartSystems console to drag-and-drop Intermec applications onto your mobile computers. The computer ships with the SmartSystems client, which means it is SmartSystems-enabled. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation. For more information about SmartSystems Foundation, go to the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/SmartSystems. For help using the console, see the online help.To use SmartSystems console to install an application1Download your application file from the Intermec web site and unzip it on your desktop PC.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications64 CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual2Double-click the application file to install it. The application file should appear in the Software Vault.3From the SmartSystems console in the Software Vault, drag-and-drop the application onto each mobile computer in your network or drop the application on a group of mobile computers contained in a folder.You can also use SmartSystems Scan-to-Connect to connect the CN4 to your network and install software. For more information,see the SmartSystems Foundation Console online Help.Installing Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSyncYou can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection between your PC and the computer. ActiveSync transfers files, synchronizes files, performs remote debugging, and other device management activities. For more information on installing and using ActiveSync, see “Connecting to a PC” on page 34.You can have a serial or USB ActiveSync connection to the mobile computer. When you only have a few computers to update, you can copy files using Windows Explorer on a PC.This procedure assumes that Microsoft ActiveSync is installed on your PC and is up and running.To install an application on the computer using ActiveSync1Connect to the CN4 via ActiveSync. For help, see “Connecting to a PC” on page 34.2Click Explore. The Mobile Device window appears, showing the files and folders on the CN4.3On your desktop PC, locate the .cab file you want to download to the mobile computer and copy it.4From the Mobile Device window, open the My Windows Mobile-Based Device folder and navigate to the folder where you want to paste the .cab file.5Paste the .cab file into the desired folder.6When you are done copying files, warm boot or cold boot the mobile computer.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing ApplicationsCN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 657After the mobile computer is done booting, tap Start > Programs > File Explorer to locate the newly copied files.8Tap the .cab files to install them.Installing Applications Using a Storage CardIf you have a miniSD card for your CN4, it is the best place for you to install applications. For more information, see “Installing a miniSD or SIM Card” on page 36.To install applications using the storage card1Copy your application file to the miniSD card.2Remove the miniSD card from the adapter card and insert it into the CN4.3On your CN4, navigate to the storage card folder and run your application.Installing Applications Using the FTP ServerThe CN4 has a built-in FTP server that connects to a network through Ethernet, 802.11 b/g, or WAN (Wireless Access Network). You can use the server to transfer your application file to the computer. Another benefit of using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to automate the process of copying your files to the computer. This option is useful when you need to send files to a large number of computers.The easiest way to manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu within iConnect.To enable the FTP menu•Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\ShowFTPMenu The iFTP menu is available the next time you start iConnect.To manage the state of the FTP server•Modify these existing registry keys:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpAutoStartHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpHeartbeat where 1 = enable and 0 = disable.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications66 CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s ManualFreeing Up Virtual Memory for ApplicationsYou can use the InstallSelect application to reduce the amount of virtual memory used by portions of the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB). Freeing up virtual memory provides you with more space to load and run custom applications. In technical terms, virtual memory allows software to run in a memory address space whose size and addressing are not necessarily tied to the physical memory of the computer.InstallSelect manages the installation of value-added software features of the computer. Removing software features may result in loss of computer functionality or the ability to manage device settings. To free up virtual memory, select items from the InstallSelect list that you do not want to install. When you perform a clean boot, the items you selected are not installed. However, you can reinstall any of these SSPB components at any time with InstallSelect. Be sure to back up any related files that you want before you use the InstallSelect application. The InstallSelect application is part of the SSPB and is installed at the factory. For more information on SSPB, see “Upgrading the System Software” on page 69.To free up virtual memory1Go to Start > Programs > File Explorer.2Tap the Windows folder.3Scroll down to the InstallSelect application and tap the icon ( ). The InstallSelect application appears with a Caution dialog box.4Tap ok to close the Caution dialog box.Note: InstallSelect is designed for use only by administrators, developers, integrators, or Intermec service representatives.Note: Do not run InstallSelect while using any other applications.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications68 CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s ManualYou will see other components available from the InstallSelect application based on the options you selected for your CN4.Launching An Application AutomaticallyThere are two ways to automatically launch your application when you perform a reset on the computer:•Make sure your .cab file places a shortcut to your application in the \Windows\StartUp folder.•Configure the AutoRun program to launch your application.The computer contains a program called AutoRun.exe which automates operations such as launching other processes. You can configure AutoRun.exe through the AutoRun data file, AutoRun.dat. For compatibility with other Intermec computers, you can place a copy of AutoRun.exe in the same folder as your AutoRun.dat file but it is not required.To create and install the AutoRun.dat file on your computer1Create a folder called System on your CN4.2Open the Notepad application on your PC.3Write commands for AutoRun.dat using the supported AutoRun script commands.4Save the Notepad file as AutoRun.dat.5Copy the AutoRun.dat file to the System folder on the CN4. During every boot, the system scans for AutoRun.dat in the System folder.AutoRun supports the following script commands in AutoRun.dat:AutoRun Script CommandsCommand DescriptionEXEC Launches a specified program and waits for it to finish (up to 10 minutes)CALL Processes a specified file of commands and returns.CHAIN Processes a specified file of commands and does not return.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing ApplicationsCN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 69AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first parameter, which allows you to specify path names or file names that contain white spaces. AutoRun only supports one set of quotes per command.Upgrading the System SoftwareWhen you upgrade your computer, you are updating the operating system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files.The SSPB files are stored in flash and deliver Intermec Value Add (IVA) functionality such as data collection, configuration, the Intermec wireless security suite, and the SmartSystems™ Foundation. As new features are added to these components, you can update your SSPB files without updating the OS. Alternately, you can choose to upgrade only the operating system if you need new functionality. If you upgrade the operating system, you will need to reinstall SSPB files.There are two ways to upgrade your computer:•You can upgrade your computer using a storage card. For help, see the next section, “Upgrading the CN4 Using a miniSD Card.”•You can upgrade your computer using the SmartSystems Console. For help, see “Upgrading the CN4 Using SmartSystems Foundation” on page 70.You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to your desktop PC. To download the upgrade files1Start your web browser and go to the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.2Choose Support > Downloads and choose these items:aIn the Product Category list, choose Computers.bIn the Product Family list, choose Handheld Computers.cIn the Product list, choose CN4 Mobile Computer.3Click Submit. A list of downloadable software appears.4Look for the appropriate upgrade files in the OS/Firmware/Drivers list, and click the filename to download it.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications70 CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s ManualUpgrading the CN4 Using SmartSystems FoundationYou can use the SmartSystems™ Foundation application from Intermec to perform operating system upgrades on your CN4. SmartSystems client is installed on your CN4, which means it is SmartSystems-enabled. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation, which you can download from www.intermec.com/SmartSystems. When you upgrade the operating system, you erase the current configuration and replace it with the new default configuration. You will need to reset the network parameters on the CN4 to reestablish communications with other devices in the network. In other words, if you upgrade the operating system and the default registry from the operating system has changed, the registry is rolled back to the new default.When you upgrade your CN4, you are updating the operating system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files. The SSPB files are stored on the Flash File Store, and deliver Intermec Value Add (IVA) functionality such as data collection, configuration, and wireless security. As new features are added to these components, you can upgrade your SSPB files without needing to upgrade the operating system. Similarly, features added to the operating system do not affect the functionality of the SSPB, and you can choose to upgrade only the operating system. If you choose to update only the operating system, the SSPB will need to be re-installed.If you are upgrading the OS and SSPB files, you first install the OS upgrade and then you install the SSPB upgrade. The installation process is very similar for both type of upgrade but the way the files install is different.Downloading the Upgrade FilesYou need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to your desktop computer.To download the upgrade files1Start your web browser and go to the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.2Go to Service & Support > Downloads.

Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CN4CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 81The CN4 is connected to the network and you move to a new site to collect data. Your CN4 now shows you are not connected to the network.Move closer to an access point or to a different location to reestablish communications until you reconnect with the network. Any data collected while out of range is transmitted over the network.The CN4 appears to be connected to the network, but you cannot establish a terminal emulation session with the host computer.There may be a problem with the host computer, with the connection between the Intermec Application Server and the host computer, or with the connection between the access point and the host computer. Check with network administrator to make sure the host is running and allowing users to login to the system.The CN4 appears to be connected to the network, but the host computer is not receiving any information from the CN4.In a TCP/IP network, there may be a problem with the connection between the access point and the host computer. Check with network administrator or use your access point user’s manual.Problems While Configuring 802.1x Security Problem SolutionThe CN4 indicates that it is authenticated, but it does not communicate with the host.Make sure the CN4 IP address, host IP address, subnet mask, default router are configured for network.The CN4 does not appear to be authenticating and a network connection icon does not appear on the toolbar.The CN4 may not be communicating with the access point. Make sure the CN4 network name matches the access point network name (SSID).802.1x security network may not be active. Make sure the server software is properly loaded and configured on the server PC. See server software documentation for help.A network connection icon appears in the toolbar, but then disappears.The CN4 may not be communicating with the intended access point. Make sure the CN4 network name matches the access point network name. Default network name is “INTERMEC.”Access point may not be communicating with server. Ensure the access point is turned on, properly configured, and has 802.1x security enabledYou are setting up multiple access points in a network, with different SSIDs, and the connection fails.The CN4 does not save WEP key values when changing the SSID. Reenter the WEP key value after changing the SSID and save your changes. You should now be able to connect to the different access points.Problems With Wireless Connectivity (continued)Problem Solution
Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CN482 CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s ManualThe CN4 indicates it is not authenticated.Make sure that:•the User Name and Password parameters on the CN4 must match the user name and password on authentication server. You may need to reenter the password on both the CN4, authentication server.•on your authentication server, the user and group are allowed and the group policy is allowed to log into the server. For help, see the documentation that shipped with your authentication server software.•the IP address and secret key for access point must match the IP address and secret key on the authentication server. You may need to reenter the IP address and secret key on both your access point and authentication server.•the authentication server software is running on the server PC.You receive a message saying “The server certificate has expired or your system date is incorrect” after you perform a clean boot on the CN4.Date and time are not saved when you perform a clean boot. Reenter the date and time, and then save your changes.Problems Scanning Bar Codes Problem SolutionYou cannot see a red beam of light from the scanner when you press the Scan button and aim the scanner at a bar code label.•You may be too far away from the bar code label. Try moving closer to the bar code label and scan it again.•You may be scanning the bar code label “straight on.” Change the scanning angle and try again.•The scanner hardware trigger might be disabled in Intermec Settings. To check the setting go to Start > Settings > System Tab > Data Collection > Scanner Settings. Hardware trigger should be checked.The input device attached to the computer does not work well or read bar code labels very quickly.Set the Scanner Model command to the specific attached input device. Check enabled bar code symbologies and enable only the symbologies being used.Problems While Configuring 802.1x Security (continued)Problem Solution
Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CN4CN4 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 83Resetting the CN4You rarely need to reset the computer. If the computer does not resume after pressing the Power button, or if the computer or an application locks up, you may need to reset the CN4. The CN4 uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot process. There are three ways to reset the CN4:When you release a Scan button or handle trigger, the Good Read light does not turn off.The Good Read light will remain on if you configure the computer to use continuous/edge triggering. If you configure the computer for level triggering and the Good Read light remains on, there may be a problem. Press one of the Scan buttons or pull the trigger again without scanning a bar code label. If the light is still on, contact your local Intermec representative.The scanner will not read the bar code label.•Aim the scanner beam to cross entire bar code label in one pass. Vary the scanning angle.•Check the quality of the bar code label, Scan a bar code label that you know will scan. Compare the two bar code labels to see if the bar code quality is too low. You may need to replace the label that you cannot scan.•Make sure the bar code symbology is enabled and configured correctly. Use Intermec Settings to check the symbologies. Expand Data Collection > Symbologies beneath devices listed (scanner, virtual wedge) to check and enable symbologies, then scan the bar code label again.•Make sure the computer application is expecting input from a bar code. You may need to type this information instead.The scanner does not read the bar code labels quickly, or the scanning beam seems to be faint or obscured.The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution of ammonia and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to touch the window.You scan a valid bar code label to enter data for your application. The data decoded by the scan module does not match the data encoded in the bar code label.The computer may have decoded the bar code label in a symbology other than the label’s actual symbology. Try scanning the bar code label again. Make sure you scan the entire label.Problems Scanning Bar Codes (continued)Problem Solution
