Creating CAB Files
The Windows CE operating system uses a .CAB file to install an applica-
tion on a Windows CE-based device. A .CAB file is composed of multiple
files that are compressed into one file. Compressing multiple files into one
file provides the following benefits:
• All application files are present.
• A partial installation is prevented.
• The application can be installed from several sources, such as a desktop
computer or a Web site.
Use the CAB Wizard application (CABWIZ.EXE) to generate a .CAB file
for your application.
Creating Device-Specific CAB Files
Do the following to create a device-specific .CAB file for an application, in
the order provided:
1Create an .INF file with Windows CE-specific modifications (see below).
2Optional Create a SETUP.DLL file to provide custom control of the
installation process (page 136).
3Use the CAB Wizard to create the .CAB file, using the .INF file, the
optional SETUP.DLL file, and the device-specific application files as
parameters (page 139).
Creating an .INF File
An .INF file specifies information about an application for the CAB Wiz-
ard. Below are the sections of an .INF file:
[Version]
This specifies the file creator, version, and other relevant information.
•Signature:“signature_name”
“$Windows NT$”
•Provider:“INF_creator”
The company name of the application, such as “Microsoft.”
•CESignature
“$Windows CE$”
Example
[Version]
Signature = “$Windows NT$”
Provider = “Intermec”
CESignature = “$Windows CE$”
Required? Yes
Chapter 7 — Programming
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 127
[CEStrings]
This specifies string substitutions for the application name and the default
installation directory.
•AppName:app_name
Name of the application. Other instances of %AppName% in the .INF
file are replaced with this string value, such as RP32.
•InstallDir:default_install_dir
Default installation directory on the device. Other instances of %Install-
Dir% in the .INF file are replaced with this string value. Example:
\SDMMC_Disk\%AppName%
Example
[CEStrings]
AppName=“Game Pack”
InstallDir=%CE1%\%AppName%
[Strings]
This section is optional and defines one or more string keys. A string key
represents a string of printable characters.
•string_key:value
String of letters, digits, or other printable characters. Enclose value in
double quotation marks ““”” if the corresponding string key is used in an
item that requires double quotation marks. No string_keys is okay.
Example
[Strings]
reg_path = Software\Intermec\My Test App
[CEDevice]
Describes the targeted application platform. All keys are optional. If a key is
nonexistent or has no data, Windows CE does not perform any checking
with the exception being UnsupportedPlatforms. If the UnsupportedPlatforms
key exists but no data, the previous value is not overridden.
•ProcessorType:processor_type
The value that is returned by SYSTEMINFO.dwProcessorType.For
example, the value for the ARM CPU is 2577
•UnsupportedPlatforms:platform_family_name
This lists known unsupported platform family names. If the name speci-
fied in the [CEDevice.xxx] section is different from [CEDevice], both
platform_family_name values are unsupported for the microprocessor
specified by xxx. The unsupported platform family names list is
appended to the previous list. Application Manager does not display the

application for an unsupported platform. Also, a user is warned during
the setup process if the .CAB file is copied to an unsupported device.
Example
[CEDevice]
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1 ; pltfrm1 is unsupported
[CEDevice.SH3]
UnsupportedPlatforms = ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported
•VersionMin:minor_version
Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMinor. The
.CAB file is valid for the currently connected device if the version of this
device is greater than or equal to VersionMin.
•VersionMax:major_version
Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMajor. The
.CAB file is valid for the currently connected device if the version of this
device is less than or equal to VersionMax.
•BuildMin:build_number
Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwBuildNumber. The
.CAB file is valid for the currently connected device if the version of this
device is greater than or equal to BuildMin.
•BuildMax:build_number
Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwBuildNumber. The
.CAB file is valid for the currently connected device if the version of this
device is less than or equal to BuildMax.
Example
This shows three [CEDevice] sections: one giving basic information for any
CPU and two specific to the SH3 and the MIPS microprocessors.
[CEDevice] ; A “template” for all platforms
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1; Does not support pltfrm1
; The following specifies version 1.0 devices only.
VersionMin = 1.0
VersionMax = 1.0
[CEDevice.ARM]; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .CAB file specific to ARM devices.
ProcessorType = 2577; ARM .cab file is valid for ARM microprocessors.
UnsupportedPlatforms = ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported
; The following overrides the version settings so that no version checking is
performed.
VersionMin =
VersionMax =
[CEDevice.MIPS] ; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .CAB file specific to “MIPS” devices.
ProcessorType = 4000; MIPS .CAB file is valid for MIPS microprocessor.
UnsupportedPlatforms =pltfrm2; pltfrm1, pltfrm2 unsupported for MIPs .CAB
file.

[DefaultInstall]
This describes the default installation of your application. Note that under
this section, you will list items expanded upon later in this description.
•Copyfiles:copyfile_list_section
Maps to files defined later in the .INF file, such as Files.App, Files.Font,
and Files.Bitmaps.
•AddReg:add_registry_section
Example: RegSettings.All
•CEShortcuts:shortcut_list_section
String that identifies one more section that defines shortcuts to a file, as
defined in the [CEShortcuts] section.
•CESetupDLL:setup_DLL

Using Installation Functions in SETUP.DLL
SETUP.DLL is an optional file that enables you to perform custom opera-
tions during installation and removal of your application. The following list
shows the functions that are exported by SETUP.DLL.
After the CAB File Extraction
Cab files that need to cause a warm reset after cab extraction need to create
the __RESETMEPLEASE__.TXT file in the “\Windows” directory. The
preferred method to create this file is within the DllMain portion of the
SETUP.DLL file. It looks like this:
#include <windows.h>
#include <Tlhelp32.h>
#include <winioctl.h>
#include <ce_setup.h> // in the public SDK dir
#define IOCTL_TERMINAL_RESET CTL_CODE (FILE_DEVICE_UNKNOWN,FILE_ANY_ACCESS,
2050, METHOD_NEITHER)
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE h, DWORD reason, LPVOID lpReserved )
{
return TRUE;
} // DllMain
//************************************************************************
// $DOCBEGIN$
// BOOL IsProcessRunning( TCHAR * pname );
//
// Description: Get process table snapshot, look for pname running.
//
// Arguments: pname - pointer to name of program to look for.
// for example, app.exe.
//
// Returns: TRUE - process is running.
// FALSE - process is not running.
// $DOCEND$
//************************************************************************
Install_Init Called before installation begins. Use this function to check the application version when reinstall-
ing an application and to determine if a dependent application is present.
Install_Exit Called after installation is complete. Use this function to handle errors that occur during applica-
tion installation.
Uninstall_Init Called before the removal process begins. Use this function to close the application, if the applica-
tion is running.
Uninstall_Exit Called after the removal process is complete. Use this function to save database information to a file
and delete the database and to tell the user where the user data files are stored and how to reinstall
the application.
Note: Use [DefaultInstall] > CESelfRegister (page 129) in the .INF file to
point to SETUP.DLL.

Creating CAB Files with CAB Wizard
After you create the .INF file and the optional SETUP.DLL file, use the
CAB Wizard to create the .CAB file. The command-line syntax for the
CAB Wizard is as follows:
cabwiz.exe “inf_file” [/dest dest_directory] [/err error_file] [/cpu cpu_type
[cpu_type]]
A batch file, located in <program> directory, with the following com-
mands, works well:
cabwiz.exe c:\appsoft\<program>\<inf_file_name>
cd \appsoft\<program>
“inf_file” The SETUP.INF file path.
dest_directory The destination directory for the .CAB files. If no directory is specified, the .CAB files are created
in the “inf_file” directory.
error_file The file name for a log file that contains all warnings and errors that are encountered when the
.CAB files are compiled. If no file name is specified, errors are displayed in message boxes. If a file
name is used, the CAB Wizard runs without the user interface (UI); this is useful for automated
builds.
cpu_type Creates a .CAB file for each specified microprocessor tag, which is a label used in the Win32
SETUP.INF file to differentiate between different microprocessor types. The /cpu parameter, fol-
lowed by multiple cpu_type values, must be the last qualifier in the command line.

This example creates .CAB files for the ARM and MIPS microprocessors,
assuming the Win32 SETUP.INF file contains the ARM and MIPS tags:
cabwiz.exe “c:\myfile.inf” /err myfile.err /cpu arm mips
Troubleshooting the CAB Wizard
To identify and avoid problems that might occur when using the CAB
Wizard, follow these guidelines:
•Use %% for a percent sign (%) character when using this character in an
.INF file string, as specified in Win32 documentation. This does not
work under the [Strings] section.
• Do not use .INF or .CAB files created for Windows CE to install appli-
cations on Windows-based desktop platforms.
• Ensure the MAKECAB.EXE and CABWIZ.DDF files, included with
Windows CE, are in the same directory as CABWIZ.EXE.
• Use the full path to call CABWIZ.EXE.
• Do not create a .CAB file with the MAKECAB.EXE file included with
Windows CE. You must use CABWIZ.EXE, which uses MAKE-
CAB.EXE to generate the .CAB files for Windows CE.
•Do not set the read-only attribute for .CAB files.
Customization and Lockdown
Pocket PC (Windows Mobile) is a hardware specification created by
Microsoft Corporation. Devices that wish to carry the Pocket PC logo must
meet the minimum hardware requirements set in the Pocket PC specifica-
tion. Manufacturers are free to add extra hardware functionality.
Pocket PC devices also use a specialized version of the CE operating system.
This operating system is built from Windows CE 4.2 but contains custom-
izations, most notably the lack of a desktop and the addition of the Today
Screen.
To carry the Pocket PC logo, all devices must be tested at an Independent
Test Laboratory. The ITL testing is done based on Microsoft requirements.
The test lab then reports the findings back to Microsoft Corporation and
Intermec Technologies. If the CN2B Computer passed all tests, Intermec is
allowed to ship the device with the Pocket PC logo. Each time the operat-
ing system is modified, Intermec must resubmit to ITL testing.
Note: CABWIZ.EXE, MAKECAB.EXE, and CABWIZ.DDF (Windows
CE files available on the Windows CE Toolkit) must be installed in the
same directory on the desktop computer. Call CABWIZ.EXE using its full
path for the CAB Wizard application to run correctly.

CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 141
This means we cannot change the operating system much and still be a
Pocket PC device. For example, if we remove Word from the Start menu,
the device would fail ITL testing and we would not be able to ship devices
with the Pocket PC logo.
Although many customers want a Pocket PC device, some customers would
prefer that their users not have access to all of the Pocket PC features. Inter-
mec cannot customize the operating system in any way but a custom appli-
cation can:
• Delete items from the Start menu and Programs folder. These items are
just shortcuts in the file system so the application is not really being
deleted. Cold booting the device brings these items back so the applica-
tion will need to be run on every cold boot.
• Use the RegFlushKey() API to save a copy of the registry to a storage
device. See the CN2B Management Tools portion for more information
on how to do this. Saving a copy of the registry restores most system set-
tings in a cold boot situation.
• Use the SHFullScreen() API in conjunction with other APIs to make the
application take up the entire display and prevent the start menu from
being available.
• Remap keys and disable keys on the keypad.
• Create a custom SIP.
• Make changes to the registry to configure the device.
Should you want your CN2B Computer to display a full screen, keep in
mind that your computer is Pocket-PC certified by Microsoft Corporation.
Check out resources on programming for the Pocket PC, using the follow-
ing links. These give full instructions on how to display full screen.

FTP Server
FTP support is provided through the FTP Server application FTP-
DCE.EXE (MS Windows CE Versions) which is provided as part the base
system.
FTPDCE is the Internet File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server process. The
server can be invoked from an application or command line. Besides servic-
ing FTP client requests the FTP Server also send a “network announce-
ment” to notify prospective clients of server availability.

Configurable Parameters Via the Registry Editor
The following parameters receive default values during the installation of
the Intermec FTP Server components. A few of the parameters are visible in
the registry by default, but most must be created to modify the default
behavior of the FTP server.
BlockSize
Setting this parameter configures the Intermec FTP Server to transmit and
receive Ethernet packets using the specified data block size. By default, the
FTP server transmits and receives data using a 64K data block size. Adjust-
ing this value may be useful in certain wireless TCP/IP installations.
DeviceName
This parameter configures the Intermec FTP Server to include the specified
device name in the Intermec Device Network Announcement (IDNA).
Adjusting this value may be useful in assigning a symbolic name to this
device for asset tracking.

Transferring Files Over TCP/IP Networks
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server transfers files over TCP/IP net-
works. The FTPDCE.EXE program is a version that does not display a
window, but can run in the background.
FTPDCE is the Internet File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server process. The
server can be invoked from an application or command line. Besides servic-
ing FTP client requests, the FTP Server also sends a “network announce-
ment” to notify prospective clients of server availability.
The FTP Server currently supports the following FTP requests:
CDUP Changes to the parent directory of the current working directory.
CWD Changes working directory.
DELE Deletes a file.
HELP Gives help information.
LIST (This FTP request is the same as the ls -lgA command). Gives list files in a directory.
MKD Makes a directory.
MODE (Always Uses Binary). Specifies data transfer mode.
NLST (Not supported) Gives a name list of files in directory (this request is the same as the ls command).
NOOP Does nothing.
PASS Specifies a password.
PWD Prints the current working directory.
QUIT Terminates session.
RETR Retrieves a file.
RMD Removes a directory.
RNFR Specifies rename-from file name.
RNTO Specifies rename-to file name.
STOR Stores a file.
SYST Shows the operating system type of server system.
TYPE (Binary transfers only.) Specifies the data transfer type with the Type parameter.
USER Specifies user name.
XCUP (Not Normally Used) Changes the parent directory of the current working directory.
XCWD (Not Normally Used) Changes the current directory.
XMKD (Not Normally Used) Creates a directory.
XPWD (Not Normally Used) Prints the current working directory.
XRMD (Not Normally Used) Removes a directory.

The FTPDCMDS subdirectory contains commands to use from the web
browser.
• Click EXITME.BIN to execute a SITE EXIT command.
• Click REBOOTME.BIN to execute SITE BOOT command.
• Use the GET command on these files to have the FTP Server execute
these commands.
•Security:
A customer configurable access control list may be installed on the
CN2B Computer. This list will allow customers to restrict access via
the FTP Server to users they wish and is in addition to default Inter-
mec accounts that are disabled using the -F0 option at runtime.
The access control list is named FTPDCE.TXT and is placed in the
same directory on the CN2B Computer as the FTPDCE.EXE server.
The FTP Server encrypts this file to keep the information safe from
unauthorized users. This file is encrypted when the FTP Server is
started so a file that is placed onto the CN2B Computer after the FTP
Server starts will require a restart of the FTP Server to take effect.
The format of the FTPDCE.TXT is as follows:
FTPDCE:user1!passwd1<cr><lf>user2!passwd2<cr><lf>user3!pas
swd3<cr><lf>...
Stopping the FTP Server from Your Application
To allow application programmers the ability to programmatically shut
down the FTP Server, the FTP Server periodically tests to see if a named
event is signaled. The name for this event is “ITC_IFTP_STOP” (no
quotes).
For examples on how to use events, consult the Microsoft Developer Net-
work Library at www.msdn.com. The MSDN Library is an essential
resource for developers using Microsoft tools, products, and technologies.
It contains a bounty of technical programming information, including
sample code, documentation, technical articles, and reference guides.
Note: The user accounts and passwords are case-sensitive. Once the access
control list is encrypted on the CN2B Computer, the FTP Server hides this
file from users. Once an access control list is installed on the CN2B Com-
puter, a new one is not accepted by the FTP Server until the previous one is
removed. Encrypted access control lists are not portable between CN2B
Computers.

Autostart FTP
This automatically starts the FTP Server (FTPDCE.EXE) when the CN2B
Computer is powered on. This is provided with the NDISTRAY program
(the Network Driver Interface Specification tray application), which dis-
plays the popup menu that currently allows you to load and unload the net-
work drivers. Tap the antenna icon in the System Tray of the Today screen
(a sample antenna icon is shown below) for this pop-up menu.
The default is to start the FTP Server at boot time, unless the following reg-
istry entry is defined and set to “0” which disables AutoFTP. “1” enables
the AutoFTP. The entry can be set from the NDISTRAY pop-up menu by
selecting either AutoFTP On or AutoFTP Off.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intermec\Ndistray\StartupIFTP
These new entries are located below the selections to load the network driv-
ers. If the StartupIFTP registry key is not defined, the FTP Server is loaded
by default, to provide “out-of-the-box” capability for customers who want
to begin loading files to the CN2B Computer without prior configuration.
On a resume, if AutoFTP is enabled and the FTP Server is running, it is
stopped and restarted. NDISTRAY uses a helper application named RESE-
TIFTP to implement the restart on resume feature.
To do an AutoFTP Installation Check:
1Ensure the FTP Server is running “out-of-the-box” the first time.
2Tap Start > To d a y to access the Today screen, then tap the antenna icon
in the System Tray to bring up the NDISTRAY pop-up menu. Select
AutoFTP Off to disable AutoFTP. Perform a warm-boot and confirm
the FTP Server is not running.
Note: If a network driver is unloaded using the NDISTRAY pop-up menu,
and the FTP Server is running, the FTP Server is stopped.

A zero in a bit position masks the wakeup for that key. A one in a bit position enables wakeup for that key. lpOutBuf
must point to a buffer that contains a byte value of a wakeup mask consisting of the OR’ed constants as defined in
OEMIOCTL.H. Only the following keys are programmable as wakeup events.
#define SCANNER_TRIGGER1
#define SCANNER_LEFT2
#define SCANNER_RIGHT4
#define GOLD_A18
#define GOLD_A20x10
lpInBuf Should be set to NULL. STRICT_ID settings are not supported.
lpInBufSize Should be set to zero.
lpOutBuf Must point to a UNIQUE_DEVICEID structure as defined by DEVICEID.H if the UUID is to
be returned.
nOutBufSize The size of the UNIQUE_DEVICEID in bytes if the UUID is to be returned. A DEVICE_ID as
defined by PKFUNCS.H is returned if the size in bytes is greater than or equal to
sizeof(DEVICE_ID).
lpBytesReturned The number of bytes returned by the function.

Network Selection APIs
The Network Selection APIs change the network adapter configuration
programmatically. Both drivers support the same IOCTL function num-
bers for loading and unloading the drivers. Loading and unloading of the
802.11b/g driver is performed by the FWL1: device in the system by per-
forming DeviceIOControl() calls to the driver. Loading and unloading of
the driver for the built-in Ethernet adapter is performed by the SYI1: device
in the system by performing DeviceIOControl() calls to the driver.
• For loading an NDIS driver associated with an adapter, the IOCTL is
IOCTL_LOAD_NDIS_MINIPORT.
• For unloading NDIS drivers associated with an adapter the IOCTL is
IOCTL_UNLOAD_NDIS_MINIPORT.
Example
#include <winioctl.h>
#include “sysio.h”
void DoLoad(int nDevice) {
LPTSTR devs[] = { _T(“SYI1:”), _T(“FWL1:”) };
HANDLE hLoaderDev;

card from within their application. The routines provided also reads/writes
values to the CE registry pertaining to the 802.11b/g radio driver. By using
the provided functions, a programmer can alter the 802.11b/g parameters
of Network Name (SSID), WEP keys, infrastructure modes, radio channel,
and power management modes. A programmer can also retrieve network
connect status and signal strength indication from the RF network card.
The API is contained within the 80211API.DLL file that should be present
in any load with the 802.11b/g networking installed.
The Profile Manager supports up to four radio configuration profiles.
These profiles are the same as those set by the Wireless Network applet that
runs on the Windows CE unit. You can configure different 802.11b/g pro-
files and switch between them using the 802.11 API. See the ConfigurePro-
file() function on page 176 for more information.
Basic Connect/Disconnect Functions
These functions are available when using the 802.11b/g radio module.
RadioConnect()
Connects to the available radio. Use this function if you plan on using a lot
of API calls that talk directly to the radio. Note that the 802.11b/g radio
must be enabled via NDISTRAY before you can connect to it.
NETWLAN.DLL
PRISMNDS.DLL This is the 802.11b/g driver. It is present in all CN2B CE loads that use the 802.11b/g net-
work interface card.
80211API.DLL This file is an Intermec authored file that provides the programmer with a set of API calls to
configure or monitor status of the 802.11b/g network.
80211CONF.EXE This is the “Control Panel” for configuring the 802.11b/g network parameters. Note that it is
an EXE file and is actually called by CPL802.CPL (see below).
CPL802.CPL A control panel application that does nothing but call 80211CONF.EXE.
80211SCAN.EXE Internally manages the Scan List activity.
802PM.DLL This handles profile management for radio configurable values.
URODDSVC.EXE This handles radio configuration and security authentication based on a selected profile.
Syntax UINT RadioConnect( );
Parameters None
Return Values ERROR_SUCCESS when successful, otherwise ERR_CONNECT_FAILED
Remarks Call this function before calling other functions found within this API. It hunts out and connects to
the 802.11b/g radio available on the system. Check extended error codes if anything else is returned.

RadioDisconnect()
Call this function when done using the 802.11 API to clean up a connec-
tion from a previous RadioConnect() call. If you do not call this function,
you may leave memory allocated.
RadioDisassociate()
Call this function to have the 802.11b/g radio disassociate from the current
service set. The radio then enters an “off” mode until it is woken again by
setting the Service Set Identifier (SSID). Also, the NDIS driver generates an
NDIS media disconnect event.

Set Information Functions
AddWep()
Call this function to add a WEP key to the radio. Call this function multi-
ple times when adding more than one WEP key. Save the “default” key for
last. For example, when adding four keys, and the second key is the default
transmit key, add keys 1, 3 and 4 before you add key 2.
EnableWep()
Enables or disables WEP encryption on the radio (TRUE/FALSE).
Note: Add the default transmit key last.
Syntax UINT AddWep( ULONG, BOOL, TCHAR * );
Parameters ULONG Specifies the key index to be set. Valid values are 0-3.
BOOL When set to TRUE, specifies that this key is the default transmit key.
TCHAR Pointer to a character array that specifies the key data in either HEX (length of 10
or 26) or ASCII (length of 5 or 13). This string must be null-terminated.
Return Values ERROR_SUCCESS when successful, ERR_QUERY_FAILED when the query failed, or
ERR_CONNECT_FAILED if a connection with the radio failed.
Remarks When adding WEP keys to the radio, turn off encryption before you add the keys, then turn encryp-
tion back on afterwards. Also, be sure to add the TRANSMIT KEY last.

Notifications
Use the following information to programmatically control the vibrator, to
write an application to turn on the vibrator when a message is received via
the WLAN radio link, and turn it off when the user hits a key.
Vibrator support is implemented in the NLED driver as a false LED. The
vibrator is LED 5 and is identified with an CycleAdjust of -1. The vibrate
option is only available in the notifications panel when the vibrator is
present in the system.
Regarding an applications interface to NLED.DLL, LEDs must be avail-
able for use by applications. This is possible via two functions exported by
the COREDLL.DLL file. To use the LED functions, declare these as extern
“C” as follows:
extern ”C” BOOL WINAPI NLEDGetDeviceInfo(UINT nInfoId,
void *pOutput);
extern ”C” BOOL WINAPI NLEDSetDevice( UINT nDeviceId, void
*pInput);
The LEDs are enumerated for access through the data structures associated
with these APIs: Notification LED (0), Alpha Lock LED (2), Scanner LED
(3), or Low Battery (4).
NLEDGetDeviceInfo
Usage
#include “nled.h”
Syntax
BOOL NLEDGetDeviceInfo ( UINT nInfoId, void *pOutput );
Parameters
nInfoId Integer specifying the information to return. These values are defined:
NLED_COUNT_INFO Indicates the pOutput buffer specifies the number of LEDs
on the device.
NLED_SUPPORTS_INFO_ID Indicates the pOutput buffer specifies information about the
capabilities supported by the LED.
NLED_SETTINGS_INFO_ID Indicates the pOutput buffer contains information about the
LED current settings.
pOutput Pointer to the buffer to which the information is returned. The buffer points to various structure
types defined in “nled.h”, depending on the value of nId, as detailed in the following table:
Value of nID
LED_COUNT_INFO
NLED_SUPPORTS_INFO
NLED_SETTINGS_INFO

NLEDSetDevice
Usage
#include “nled.h”
Syntax
BOOL NLEDSetDevice ( UINT nDeviceId, void *pInput );
Parameters
Reboot Functions
There are several methods, via Kernel I/O Control functions, that an appli-
cation program can use to force the CN2B Computer to reboot.
IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT
IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT performs a warm-boot. See page 159.
IOCTL_HAL_COLDBOOT
Invoking with this forces a cold reboot, resets the CN2B Computer, reloads
Windows CE as if a power-up was performed, and discards the contents of
the Windows CE RAM-based object. See page 157.
IOCTL_HAL_WARMBOOT
This function is supported on CN2B Computers. It performs a warm boot
of the system, preserving the object store. See page 156.
Remapping the Keypad
Applications have the ability to remap keys on the CN2B keypad. This
allows applications to enable keys that would otherwise not be available,
such as the [F1] function key. Also, to disable keys that should not be avail-
able, such as the alpha key because no alpha entry is required. Use caution
when attempting to remap the keypad because improper remapping may
cause the keypad to become unusable. This can be corrected by performing
a cold-boot on the device that reloads the default keymap.
nDeviceId Integer specifying the device identification. The following is defined:
NLED_SETTINGS_INFO_ID Contains information about the desired LED settings.
pInput Pointer to the buffer that contains the NLED_SETTINGS_INFO structure.
Note: Use caution when remapping the keypad. Improper remapping may
render the keypad unusable. Data within the CN2B Computer could also
be lost, should any problems occur.
Chapter 7 — Programming
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 183
Note that remapping the keys in this way affects the key mapping for the
entire system, not just for the application that does the remapping.
There are three “planes” supported for the CN2B keypad. Keys used in
more than one shift plane must be described in each plane.
Unshifted Plane
The unshifted plane contains values from the keypad when not pressed
with other keys, such as the following:
Orange Plane
The orange plane contains values from the keypad when a key is simulta-
neously pressed with the orange key, such as the following:
Alpha (Green) Plane
The alpha plane contains values from the keypad when the keypad has been
placed in alpha mode by pressing the green [Alpha] key, such as:
Key Values
Key values for each plane are stored in the registry. All units ship with a
default key mapping loaded in the registry. Applications that change the
default mapping need to read the appropriate key from the registry into an
array of words, modify the values required and then write the updated val-
ues back into the registry. The registry access can be done with standard

Microsoft API calls, such as RegOpenKeyEx(), RegQueryValueEx(), and
RegSetValueEx(). These registry keys contain the plane mappings:
• The unshifted plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\Vkey
• The orange plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\VkeyGold
• The alpha plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\VkeyAlpha
How Key Values Are Stored in Registry
To know which fields to update in the registry, you must know what Scan
Codes are assigned to each physical key (see page 185). The Scan Code is
used at the lowest level of the system to let the keypad driver know which
physical key is pressed. The keypad driver takes that scan code and looks it
up in a table (a copy of the table in the registry) to determine the values to
pass to the operating system.
Each registry key is just an array that describes to the keypad driver what
value needs to be passed for each physical key. The key values are indexed
by the scan code, this is a zero-based index. For example in the unshifted
plane, the [4] key has a scan code of 0x06. This means that the seventh
word under the “Vkey” registry key has the value for the [4] key. Taking a
sample of the “Vkey” registry key shows the following values:
00,00,0B,05,02,03,C1,07,04,03,BE,00,34,00,00,00,. . .
The value is 34,00. The values are in reverse byte order because that is the
way the processor handles data. When writing an application, nothing
needs to be done to swap the bytes, as this will happen automatically when
the data is read into a byte value. This is something you just need to be
aware of when looking at the registry. Knowing this, we can see that the
value that the keypad driver will pass to the system is a hex 34. Looking that
up on an UNICODE character chart, we see that it maps to a “4”. If you
wanted the key, labeled “4”, to output the letter “A” instead, you would
need to change the seventh word to “41” (the hexadecimal representation
of “A” from the UNICODE chart), then put the key back into the registry.
If you wish to disable a certain key, remap its scan code to 0x00.
Change Notification
Just changing the registry keys do not immediately change the key map-
pings. Signal the “ITC_KEYBOARD_CHANGE” named event using the
CreateEvent() API to notify the keypad driver the registry was updated.
Note: Do not remap scan codes 0x01, 0x41, 0x42, 0x43, or 0x44, or the
CN2B Computer becomes unit unusuable until a cold-boot is performed.
Chapter 7 — Programming
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 185
Advanced Keypad Remapping
It is also possible to map multiple key presses to one button and to map
named system events to a button. The multiple key press option could be
useful to cut down on the number of keys needed to press in a given situa-
tion or to remap which key behaves like the action key. Mapping events to
a button could be useful to change which buttons will fire the scanner, con-
trol volume, and allow for suspending and resuming the device. If you need
help performing one of these advanced topics please contact Intermec
Technical Support.
Scan Codes
At the lowest driver level, the CN2B keypad identifies keys as scan codes.
These scan codes are sent via the keypad microcontroller, and cannot be
changed without modifying the keypad firmware.

Wireless Network Applet
About the Wireless Network
Your wireless adapter (network interface card) connects to wireless net-
works of two types: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks.
• Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network and the
internet. Your CN2B Computer establishes a wireless connection to an
access point, which links you to the rest of the network. When you con-
nect to a network via an access point, you are using the 802.11b/g infra-
structure mode.
• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more cli-
ents, even with no access point.
Each wireless network is assigned a name (or Service Set Identifier —
SSID) to allow multiple networks to coexist in the same area without
infringement.
Intermec Technologies recommends using security measures with wireless
networks to prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure
your privacy of transmitted data. The following are required elements for
secure networks:
• Authentication by both the network and the user
• Authentication is cryptographically protected
• Transmitted data
There are many schemes available for implementing these features.
Terminology
Below are terms you may encounter when configuring the wireless net-
work:
•CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol)
This is Cisco’s version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco Air-
net products.
•EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
802.11b/g uses this protocol to perform authentication. This is not nec-
essarily an authentication mechanism, but is a common framework for
transporting actual authentication protocols. Intermec provides a num-
ber of EAP protocols for you to choose the best for the network.
•TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
This protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11b/g encryption standard for
wireless LANs., which provides per-packet key mixing, a message integ-
Note: See Chapter 4, “Network Support” for information about the
802.11b/g radio module.
Appendix A — Configurable Settings
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 195
rity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus overcoming most of the
weak points of WEP. This encryption is more difficult to crack than the
standard WEP. Weak points of WEP include:
• No Installation Vector (IV) reuse protection
• Weak keys or no key updates
• No protection against message replay
• No detection of message tampering
•WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption
With preconfigured WEP, both the client CN2B Computer and access
point are assigned the same key, which can encrypt all data between the
two devices. WEP keys also authenticate the CN2B Computer to the
access point — unless the CN2B Computer can prove it knows the WEP
key, it is not allowed onto the network.
WEP keys are only needed if they are expected by your clients. There are
two types available: 64-bit (5-character strings, 12345) (default) and
128-bit (13-character strings, 1234567890123). Enter these as either
ASCII (12345) or Hex (0x3132333435).
•WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
This is an enhanced version of WEP that does not rely on a static, shared
key. It encompasses a number of security enhancements over WEP,
including improved data encryption via TKIP and 802.11b/g authenti-
cation with EAP.
Configuring Your Wireless Network
A profile contains all the information necessary to authenticate you to the
network, such as login name, password or certificate, and protocols by
which you are authenticated.
You can have up to four profiles for different networks. For example, you
may have different login names or passwords on different networks, or you
may use a password on one network, and a certificate on another.
To start 802.11b/g communications on the CN2B Computer, tap Start >
Settings > the System tab > Wireless Network to access the Profile Wizard
for the 802.11b/g radio module.

TTLS (EAP-Tunneled TLS)
This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS (see page 201) but
does not require certificates for every user. Instead, authentication servers
are issued certificates. User authentication is done using a password or other
credentials that are transported in a securely encrypted “tunnel” established
using server certificates.
EAP-TTLS works by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel through which
you present your credentials to the authentication server. Thus, inside EAP-
TTLS there is another inner authentication protocol that you must configure
via Additional Settings.

EAP-FAST (EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel )
The EAP-FAST protocol is a client-server security architecture that
encrypts EAP transactions with a TLS tunnel. While similar to PEAP in
this respect, it differs significantly in that EAP-FAST tunnel establishment
is based upon strong secrets that are unique to users. These secrets are called
Protected Access Credentials (PACs), which CiscoSecure ACS generates
using a master key known only to CiscoSecure ACS. Because handshakes
based upon shared secrets are intrinsically faster than handshakes based
upon PKI, EAP-FAST is the significantly faster of the two solutions that
provide encrypted EAP transactions. No certificate management is required
to implement EAP-FAST.

•Detect Rogue APs (Access Points):
Wireless NICs and access points associate based on the SSID configured
for the NIC. Given an SSID, the BSSID with the strongest signal is
often chosen for association. After association, 802.1x authentication
may occur and during authentication credentials to uniquely identify a
user — these are passed between the NIC and the access point.
The base 802.1x technology does not protect the network from “rogue
APs.” These can mimic a legitimate access point to authentication proto-
cols and user credentials. This provides illegal users ways to mimic legiti-
mate users and steal network resources and compromise security.
Check this box to detect and report client behavior suspected of being
rogue access points. Once detected, your CN2B Computer no longer
associates with that access point until you perform a warm-boot.
Clear this box to solve access point connection problems that result when
an access point gets put on the rogue access point list due to inadvertant
failed authentications and not because it is a real rouge.
•Enable mixed cell:
Mixed cell is a profile-dependent setting. If enabled, you can connect to
mixed cell without using WEP, then you can query the cell to determine
whether you can use encryption.
•Allow fast roaming (CCKM):
When using a wireless LAN that uses Cisco Access Points, a LEAP-
enabled client device can roam from one access point to another without
involving the authentication (RADIUS) server. If enabled, Cisco Cen-
tralized Key Management (CCKM), an access point configured to pro-
vide Wireless Domain Services (WDS) takes the place of the RADIUS
server (caching credentials of an initial authentication with the RADIUS

server) and authenticates the client without perceptible delay in voice or
other time-sensitive applications.
•Enable Logging:
Check this box to log what activity incurs for this profile.

Using Reader Commands
After the CN2B Computer is connected to your network, you can send the
CN2B Computer a reader command from an application to perform a task,
such as changing the time and date. Some reader commands temporarily
override configuration settings and some change the configuration settings.
Change Configuration
The Change Configuration command must precede any configuration
command. If you enter a valid string, the CN2B Computer configuration is
modified and the computer emits a high beep. To send the Change Config-
uration command through the network, use the $+ [command] syntax
where command is the two-letter command syntax for the configuration
command followed by the value to be set for that command.
You can also make changes to several different commands by using the
$+ [command]...[command n] syntax. There are seven configuration
command settings that you can change in this way. See each command for
information on respective acceptable “data” values.
Example 1
To change the Beep Volume to Off, you can send this string to the CN2B
Computer through the network: $+BV0
where:
$+ Indicates Change Configuration.
BV Specifies the Audio Volume parameter.
0Specifies a value of Off.
Key Clicks Enables or disables the keypad clicks. The CN2B Com-
puter emits a click each time you press a key or decode a
row of a two-dimensional symbology.
0 - Disable clicks
1 - Enable soft key clicks
2 - Enable loud key clicks (default)

BV1 Specifies Audio Volume, set to Very Quiet (1)
AF123 Specifies Virtual Wedge Grid, set to a value of 123.
Set Time and Date
This command sets the date and time on the CN2B Computer. The
default date and time is June 1, 1999 at 12:00 AM.
From the network, send the following:
/+ yyyymmddhhmmss
where acceptable values for the date are:
yyyy 0000-9999 Year
mm 01-12 Month of the year
dd 01-31 Day of the month
hh 00-23 Hour
mm 00-59 Minutes
ss 00-59 Seconds
Configuration Bar Codes
You can change some settings on your CN2B Computer by scanning the
following Code 39 bar code labels.
You can also set the time and date by using the Clock applet in the Settings
menu. To access this applet, tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the

Appendix B — Troubleshooting the CN2B Computer
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 221
Problems While Configuring Security
Problem Solution
The CN2B Computer does not
appear to be authenticating. The CN2B Computer may not be communicating with your access point. Make
sure the network name on the CN2B Computer is the same as the network name
(SSID) of the access point that you are trying to communicate with. The default
network name is “INTERMEC.”
The 802.1x security network may not be active. Make sure that the server soft-
ware is properly loaded and configured on the server PC. For help, see the docu-
mentation that shipped with your server software.
The access point that you are trying to communicate with may not be communi-
cating with the server. Make sure your access point is turned on, properly config-
ured, and has 802.1x security enabled.
The CN2B Computer indicates
that it is not authenticated. Make sure that:
• The User Name and Password parameters on your CN2B Computer match
the user name and password on your authentication server. You may need to
re-enter the password on both your CN2B Computer and the authentication
server.
• On your authentication server, the user and group are allowed and the group
policy is allowed to log in to the server. For help, see the documentation for
your authentication server software.
• The IP address and secret key for your access point must match the IP address
and secret key on your authentication server. You may need to re-enter the IP
address and secret key on both your access point and authentication server.
• The authentication server software is running on the server PC.
The CN2B Computer indicates
that it is authenticated, but it does
not communicate with the host.
Make sure that the CN2B IP address, host IP address, subnet mask, and default
router are properly configured for your network.
You are setting up multiple access
points in a network, with different
SSIDs, and the connection fails.
The CN2B Computer does not save WEP key values when you change the SSID.
Re-enter the WEP key value after you change the SSID and save your changes.
You should now be able to connect to the different access points.
Problems with Wireless Connectivity
Problem Solution
A Network Connection icon
appears on the status bar, but the
host computer is not receiving any
data from the CN2B Computer.
In a UDP Plus network, there may be a problem with the connection between
the Intermec Application Server and the host computer. Check with your net-
work administrator or see the user’s manual for the Intermec Application Server.
In a TCP/IP network, there may be a problem with the connection between the
access point and the host computer. Check with your network administrator or
use your access point user’s manual.
When you turn on the CN2B
Computer after it was suspended
for a while (10-15 minutes or
longer), it can no longer send or
receive messages over the net-
work.
The CN2B Computer may not recognize the network card. Turn off the CN2B
Computer, and then turn it on again.
The host may have deactivated or lost your current terminal emulation session.
In a TCP/IP direct connect network, you need to turn off the “Keep Alive” mes-
sage (if possible) from the host so that the TCP session is maintained while a
CN2B Computer is suspended.
Appendix B — Troubleshooting the CN2B Computer
222 CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual
The CN2B Computer is con-
nected to the Intermec Applica-
tion Server or host computer and
you move to a new site to collect
data. A Network Connection icon
was visible but now the no net-
work connection icon is visible.
You may have gone out of range of an access point.
Try moving closer to an access point or to a different location to re-establish
communications. Once you are in range again, the network connection icon
appears again. Any data you collected while out of range is transmitted over the
network.
The no network connection icon
appears on the status bar.# The no network connection icon appears in three situations:
• The CN2B Computer may not have an IP address. You must configure an IP
address for the CN2B Computer or make sure that DHCP assigned an
address. Use Intermec Settings and select the radio tab to make sure an IP
address is assigned.
• The CN2B Computer may not be connected to the access point. Try these
possible solutions in order:
• Make sure the access point is turned on and operating.
• Make sure you are not using the CN2B Computer out of range of an
access point. Try moving closer to an access point to re-establish commu-
nications.
• Make sure the CN2B Computer is configured correctly for your network.
The radio parameters on the CN2B Computer must match the values set
for all access points the CN2B Computer may communicate with.
• If you have an 802.11b/g radio, the radio initialization process may have
failed. Try resetting the CN2B Computer.
• If you have tried these possible solutions and the no network connection icon
still appears, you may have a defective radio card. For help, contact your local
Intermec representative.
Problems While Scanning Bar Codes
Problem Solution
You cannot see a red beam of light
from the scanner when you press
the Scan button or one of the
Side Scan buttons and aim the
scanner at a bar code label.
There are three possible problems:
• 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 PSM files may not be correctly installed.
You can test the effective range of the scanner. Move within 61 cm (2 ft) of a wall
and test the scanner. You need to be within the scanning range to scan bar code
labels.
When you release the Scan but-
ton or Side Scan button, the
Good Read light does not turn
off.
The Good Read light remains on if you configure the CN2B Computer to use
continuous/edge triggering. If you configure the CN2B Computer for level trig-
gering and the Good Read light remains on, there may be a problem. Press the
Scan button or one of the Side Scan buttons again without scanning a bar code
label. If the light is still on, contact your local Intermec service representative.
Problems with Wireless Connectivity (continued)
Problem Solution
Appendix B — Troubleshooting the CN2B Computer
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 223
Sending the CN2B Computer to Intermec for Service
If you send the CN2B Computer in for service, it is your responsibility to
save the computer data and configuration. Intermec is responsible only for
ensuring that the keypad and other hardware features match the original
configuration when repairing or replacing your computer.
For help understanding your warranty and finding help, see “Global Ser-
vices and Support” on page xi.
You may be asked for the version of the operating system running on your
CN2B Computer. For help finding this information, see “Software Build
Version” on page 14
The scanner will not read the bar
code label. Make sure you aim the scanner beam so it crosses the entire bar code label in one
pass.
The angle you are scanning the bar code label may not be working well, or you
may be scanning the label “straight on.” Try scanning the bar code label again,
but vary the scanning angle.
The bar code label print quality may be poor or unreadable. To check the quality
of the bar code label, try scanning a bar code label that you know will scan. Com-
pare 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 you are scanning is enabled. Use Intermec
Settings to check the symbologies. If your bar code symbology is disabled, enable
it and then try scanning the bar code label again.
Note: If you restored the CN2B Computer to factory default settings, some of the sym-
bologies may be disabled. Make sure that the application you are running on the com-
puter is expecting input from a bar code. You may need to use the input panel to enter
this information instead of scanning it.
The scanner does not read the bar
code labels quickly, or the scan-
ning beam seems faint or
obscured.
The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution of ammo-
nia 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 CN2B
Computer 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.
To operate the computer quickly and efficiently, you should only enable the bar
code symbologies that you are going to scan.

Cleaning the Scanner Window and the Touch Screen
To keep the computer in good working order, you may need to clean the
scanner window and touch screen with a solution of ammonia and water.
You can clean the scanner window and the touch screen as often as needed
for the environment in which you are using the computer. You can help
keep the touch screen clean by using the stylus, instead of your fingertip, to
tap the screen.
To clean the scanner window and touch screen
1Press and hold the Power key for 2 to 3 seconds, and then release it to
turn off the CN2B Computer.
2Dip a clean towel or rag in the ammonia solution and wring out the
excess. Wipe off the scanner window and touch screen. Do not allow any
abrasive material to touch these surfaces.
3Wipe dry.
To clean the scanner window
• You can use the Screen Cleaner Kit (P/N 346-065-101) to clean the
scanner window.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the CN2B Computer. Open-
ing the unit voids the warranty and may cause damage to the internal
components.
