Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
Developing Applications for the Computer
CN3Computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studios
2005. Use this chapter to understand what you need to develop a new
application for the CN3 Computer.
Note: Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 may be used, but some features
are not available.
To develop applications for your CN3 Computer, use the Resource Kits in
the Intermec Developer Library (IDL). Download the IDL from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec representative for more information.
You need the following hardware and software components to use the
resource kits:
• Pentium desktop, 400 MHz or higher
• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Professional, or Server)
• For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
• 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)
• 360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for complete)
• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia desktop specification
• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Packaging Applications for the CN3 Computer
Use any of these methods to package applications for installation:
• You could package an application as a cabinet (CAB) file. Recommended
• For simple applications, the application itself may be the file to deliver.
• It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting
files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
Consider any of these when choosing a storage location for applications:
• In the basic CN3 Computer, there are two built-in storage options: the
Object Store and the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a Disk on
Chip (DOC) Flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area
of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased during a clean-boot.
• If the optional Secure Digital storage card is in the system, then consider
this card the primary location for placing an applications install files.
This storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.
70
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
• Use the small nonvolatile 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 they are “ready-to-run” when a clean-boot is
performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of
write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing purposes; however, reading is okay.
Installing Applications on the Computer
Any of these options can move items to locations on your CN3 Computer:
Microsoft ActiveSync (page 71), Secure Digital storage cards (page 72),
Wavelink Avalanche (page 72), or SmartSystems™ Console (page 73).
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection between your
desktop and the CN3 Computer. Microsoft ActiveSync transfers files, synchronizes files, remote debugging, and other device management activities.
See Chapter 2, “Windows Mobile” for information about the Microsoft
ActiveSync application as provided by Microsoft Corporation.
This can be a USB Microsoft ActiveSync connection. Files can be copied
using Windows Explorer on a desktop or a laptop computer. This is usually
good when updating few CN3 Computers.
These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync was installed onto
your desktop and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter 2, “Windows
Mobile” for an URL from which to download the latest application.
1 Connect your CN3 Computer to your desktop using a USB cable. You
may have to detach, then reattach the cable to “wake” the connection.
2 Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSync
application to signal a connection to the CN3 Computer. If necessary,
select File > Get Connected to initiate a connection or detach, then reattach the USB cable.
3 Click Explore to access the “\Mobile Device” folder on your unit.
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
71
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
4 From your desktop, select Start > Windows Explorer, then browse the
“C:\Intermec\CN3 Mgmt Tools\CabFiles” path for any CAB files
needed for your CN3 Computer. Select the appropriate file, right-click
the file for a pop-up menu, then select Copy.
5 Within the “\My Windows Mobile-Based Device” directory, go to the
directory where you want the files located on the CN3 Computer, do a
right-click for a pop-up menu, then select Paste.
6 When all of the files are pasted, perform a clean-boot on the CN3 Computer. When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top left of
your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start > Programs > Windows
Explorer to locate the newly copied executable files, then tap these files
to activate their utilities.
Using a Storage Card
If you have a mini-Secure Digital (SD) storage card for your CN3 Computer, this is the best place for you to installation applications.
1 If you are using a Secure Digital card reader, suspend the CN3 Computer, remove its mini-SD storage card, insert it in a mini-SD adapter
card, then place it in the reader. For help, see “Using the Storage Card”
on page 16.
2 Copy your application file to the mini-SD card. If you are using
Microsoft ActiveSync to copy the files to the mini-SD card, place the
application in the “\Storage Card” folder on the CN3 Computer.
3 If using a Secure Digital card reader, insert the mini-SD card back into
the CN3 Computer.
4 Navigate to the “\Storage Card” folder and run your application. After
your application is installed, you can run it from the Programs menu.
Using Wavelink Avalanche
You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to install
applications on all of your wireless CN3 Computers.
The wireless CN3 Computer ships with the Avalanche Enabler already
loaded on it. The Avalanche Enabler is configured to activate automatically
(typically on a clean boot).
Note: If you manually activate the Avalanche Enabler on the CN3 Computer, you may be prompted for a password when you exit the Avalanche
Enabler. The default password is leave.
When the Avalanche Enabler is activated, the CN3 Computer attempts to
connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CN3 Computer connects to the
Agent, the Agent determines whether an update is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.
72
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
To use Avalanche to remotely manage the CN3 Computer
1 Use the Avalanche Management Console to install software packages
and updates for the CN3 Computer. For help using the console, see the
online help.
2 Schedule the CN3 Computer updates or manually initiate an update
using the Avalanche Management Console.
For information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact your local Intermec
representative or visit the Wavelink web site at www.wavelink.com.
Using the SmartSystems Console
You can use the SmartSystems Console to drag-and-drop Intermec applications onto your CN3 Computers. The CN3 Computer ships with the
SmartSystems client loaded on it. The console is part of SmartSystems
Foundation and is available from the Intermec web site.
To use SmartSystems Console to install an application file
1 Download the file from the Intermec web site, unzip it on your desktop.
2 From the SmartSystems Console, drag-and-drop the application onto
each CN3 Computer discovered in your network.
To download SmartSystems Foundation, go to www.intermec.com/idl and
open the Device Management page. For information on using the SmartSystems Console, see its online help.
Updating the System Software
When you upgrade your CN3 Computer, you are updating the operating
system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files.
The SSPB files are stored on the DiskOnChip, and deliver Intermec ValueAdded (IVA) functionality such as data collection, unit configuration and
diagnostics, and Intermec’s wireless security suite. As new features are
added to these components, you can upgrade your SSPB files without needing to upgrade the operating system image. Similarly, features added to the
operating system images do not affect the functionality of the SSPB, and
you can choose to upgrade only the operating system image.
There are two ways to upgrade the CN3 Computer:
• You can use a mini-SD card to upgrade the CN3 Computer. For help,
see below.
• You can use the SmartSystems Console to upgrade the CN3 Computer.
For help, see “Using the SmartSystems Console to Upgrade the CN3
Computer” on page 76.
You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to
your desktop or laptop computer, then determine if you will upgrade both
the operating system and SSPB files, just the operating system files, or just
the SSPB files.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
Using the SmartSystems Console to Upgrade the CN3 Computer
Use the SmartSystems Console to upgrade the CN3 operating system. The
console is part of SmartSystems Foundation and is available from the Intermec web site via the IDL.
Before upgrading the CN3 Computer, you need the following:
• the SmartSystems Foundation. To download SmartSystems Foundation,
go to www.intermec.com/idl and open the Device Management page.
• the device upgrade .exe file, which is available from the Intermec web site
at www.intermec.com. Go to Service & Support > Downloads.
1 Install SmartSystems Foundation on your desktop or laptop computer,
then open the SmartSystems Console.
2 Make sure the SmartSystems Console and the CN3 Computers are on
the same subnet. For help, contact your Intermec representative.
3 Make sure your CN3 Computers are either in a communications dock or
charging dock, or that power management is disabled.
4 Download the device upgrade .exe file to your desktop or laptop computer, then double-click the file to start the InstallShield application.
Note: Do not change the default location where InstallShield extracts the
files. The SmartSystems Console requires files to be in this location.
5 From the SmartSystems Console, locate the device upgrade to install.
6 Drag-and-drop the device upgrade onto each CN3 Computer icon.
Once the upgrade is done downloading to your CN3 Computer, your
CN3 Computer replaces the operating system, then automatically performs
a clean boot.
The SmartSystems Console shows your CN3 Computer as offline (via a red
stop sign) until the device reboots and reconnects to the system.
Launching Your Application Automatically
Note: This describes the system component startup for Intermec provided
components only. It does not describe the bootstrap loader process. It only
describes the component installation process provided by Windows
Mobile. It is assumed that you understand the Microsoft Mobile startup
procedures and are familiar with how Microsoft components start up.
You can configure the various media used in the Windows Mobile system
with a folder name and can change the media in the registry of the system.
Many of the startup components rely on folder names to locate information
files, applications, or other related data.
76
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
The registry keys used by FolderCopy and other startup components to
retrieve the folder names are as follows:
Flash File Store
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\FlshDrv]
“FolderName”=“Flash File Store”
SD Card (Storage Card)
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]
“Folder”=“Storage Card”
Disk On Chip
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC]
“Folder”=“DiskOnChip”
During normal Windows Mobile system startup, there are Intermec-specific and non-Intermec components that require an orderly start to properly
function. These non-Intermec components may also need to start themselves so the Windows Mobile device can function properly. Since there are
possible configurations that come from using one or more optional built-in
peripheral devices, the platform components starting on the next page are
required to manage startup.
RunAutoRun
System components are installed and configured during the power up process from a single starting point. RunAutoRun (RUNAUTORUN.EXE),
built into the operating system image and located in the “\Windows\Startup” folder, checks for AutoExec (AUTOEXEC.EXE) in a “\SYSTEM”
folder on a mounted volume in this order:
• mini-SD
• Object Store - may be non-volatile storage or RAM
• Disk on Chip - may map as Object Store
• Flash File Store - may map as Object Store. This is the default location
for the AutoExec program in Intermec systems. Intermec system applications are started from this folder. The ordering of mounted volumes
overrides this feature.
Folder names used for the mounted volumes above are retrieved from the
registry to maintain coherence with the naming of the mounted volumes
on the platform. These folder names are not hard-coded. If AutoExec is
present in the “\SYSTEM” folder on any of these media, it executes the
program only on the first media it is found on and no other.
AutoExec is reserved for Intermec use to configure Intermec-specific applications. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab (AUTOCAB.EXE), to
install platform cab files to the system, such as Intermec Data Collection.
When the AutoExec is complete, RunAutorun then checks for the existence
of AutoRun (AUTORUN.EXE) and executes this program from the first
media it is found on. This order is the same as what is used by AutoExec.
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
77
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
AutoRun is reserved for customer use to configure application launch
sequences. It launches the AutoCab installer and any customer programs
added to the AUTOUSER.DAT file.
The hierarchy of these files is shown below.
runautorun
autoexec
autocopy
autoreg
autorun
foldercopy
autocab
customer
applications
autocab
AutoExec
AutoExec (AUTOEXEC.EXE) automates operations such as pausing,
launching processes, or signaling, and is configured through the AutoExec
data file (AUTOEXEC.DAT). This script file must be in the same directory as the program itself.
Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec
Private.” AutoExec installs Intermec applications such as Data Collection,
Security Supplicants, Intermec Management, applets, and shortcuts from
components found in the Flash File System. Do not modify the AutoExec
data file. Instead, use the AutoRun program to add software components.
Usage:
AutoExec [-%[W]] [-E=["X"]] [-F=["Y"]] [-LOG=] [-W=[Z]]
-%
Passes an ID to use in a call to SignalStarted. This argument is useful only during system startup that relies
on a SignalStarted to call. W is an integer value.
-E
Passes a signal event name to use when autoexec completes. X is a string value.
-F
Overrides the data file to use. This must be a fully qualified name. Default is “autoexec.dat” in the same
location as the AUTOEXEC.EXE program. Y is a string value.
-LOG
Set to any value logs activity to AUTOEXEC.TXT (in the same location as the AUTOEXEC.EXE program). Default is disabled.
-W
Pauses the autoexec process by calling sleep for the number of seconds specified by Z. Z is an integer value.
Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WINERROR.H.
78
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
Keywords that AutoExec supports are:
QUIET
Enables user notification when an error occurs.
LOGGING
Enables logging to a trace file.
SIGNAL
Enables the specified named event and is immediately signaled. Useful for notifying other components of the current status.
CALL
Opens another .DAT file to process. After the called file is completed, this file is resumed.
RUN
Runs a program with a SW_SHOWNORMAL attribute. Autoexec does not wait for the child process
to exit.
LOAD
Runs a program with a SW_HIDE attribute. Autoexec waits for 60 seconds for the child process to
exit or EXECWAIT seconds if set.
EXEC
Runs the specified program. AutoExec waits 60 seconds for the child process to exit or EXECWAIT
seconds if set.
EXECWAIT
Changes the default EXEC wait time from 60 seconds to the number of seconds specified. There is a
maximum 10-minute limit imposed.
WAIT
Forces a sleep for the specified number of seconds to occur.
WAITFOR
Forces a sleep until the named event is signaled.
Examples of keyword usage are as follows:
; Allow message pop up if an error occurs.
QUIET 0
; Log any debug output to a trace file.
LOGGING 1
; Perform a SetEvent on the event name "autoexec_started".
SIGNAL "autoexec_started"
; Include this child data file, childexec.dat.
CALL "\childexec.dat"
; Use autocopy to copy the audio control panel from flash file store to the
windows directory. Wait for up to 60 seconds for it to exit.
EXEC "\Flash File Store\SYSTEM\autocopy.exe" -S"\Flash File Store\System\CPLAudio.cpl" -D"\Windows\CPLAudio.cpl"
; Change the default EXEC wait time to 90 seconds.
EXECWAIT 90
; Suspend processing any commands for 10 seconds.
WAIT 10
; Suspend processing any commands until event called MyEventName is signaled.
WAITFOR "MyEventName"
AutoRun
AutoRun (AUTORUN.EXE) automates operations such as launching
other processes and is configured through the AutoRun data file
(AUTORUN.DAT). This file must be in the same directory as the
program itself.
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
79
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
AutoRun supports the following script commands in AUTOUSER.DAT
and AUTORUN.DAT.
Note: If you need to add steps at boot time, add them to
AUTOUSER.DAT, not to AUTORUN.DAT. AUTORUN.DAT is provided by Intermec and is subject to change. AUTOUSER.DAT is the designated place for the end user to add steps to the boot time process.
EXEC
Launches a specified program, waits for it to complete (up to 10 minutes).
CALL
Processes a specified file of commands and returns.
CHAIN
Processes a specified file of commands and does not return.
RUN
Loads a specified program and executes it.
LOAD
Loads a specified program and executes it.
AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first parameter to allow specifying path names or file names that contain white space. Note only one set of
quotes per command is supported. AUTORUN.DAT entry examples:
RUN
“Flash File Store\Apps\some.exe” arg1, arg2, arg3
CALL
“Flash File Store\2577\usercmds.dat”
AutoCopy
AutoCopy (AUTOCOPY.EXE) copies/moves files between locations. It
has no user interface and is configured through command line arguments.
It has support for the following parameters, in no particular order:
Usage:
AutoCopy [-D["W"]] [-L["X"]] [-M[D]] [-Q[Y]] [-S["Z"]]
-D
Indicates the destination file name and must be fully qualified. W is a string value.
-L
Indicates a fully qualified file name for logging to enable. Default is disabled. X is a string value.
-M
Moves file to a destination rather than copies the file. Default value is disabled. D is an integer value. D=1
indicates enabled, 0 is disabled.
-Q
Indicates if a message box should appear when an error occurs. Default is disabled. Y is an integer value.
-S
Indicates a source file name and must be fully qualified. Z is a string value.
Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WINERROR.H.
Example:
; use AutoCopy to copy the control panel from flash file store to windows.
autocopy.exe -S"\Flash File Store\System\Audio.cpl" -D"\Windows\Audio.cpl"
; use AutoCopy to move the control panel from flash file store to windows.
autocopy.exe -M1 -S"\Flash File Store\System\Audio.cpl" -D"\Windows\Audio.cpl"

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
AutoReg
The AutoReg (AUTOREG.EXE) component adds registry information to
the Windows Mobile registry. It has no user interface and is configured
through command line arguments.
Usage:
AutoReg [-D] [-HKey] [-Q] “filename”
-D
Deletes the registry file after successfully loading it. This allows for systems that have hives implemented.
-H
Saves the registry path, and all child entries, to the specific .REG registry file.
-Q
Indicates whether a message box should appear when a fatal error occurs.
filename
Fully qualified file name to read from or write to, encased in double quotes to support spaces in paths or
file names. See examples below.
Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WINERROR.H.
Example:
; use AutoReg to install this registry information.
autoreg.exe "\Flash File Store\install.reg"
; use AutoReg to install this registry information. Delete the file afterwards.
autoreg.exe -D "\Flash File Store\install.reg"
; use AutoReg to extract registry information to a file.
autoreg.exe -HHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intermec\Version "\version.reg"
The format of the input file, in this example, is the standard registry format
which should ease the creation of the input file since there are many publicly available utilities to generate a registry file besides Notepad. One
example of a tool is the Microsoft Remote Registry Editor.
AutoCab
AutoCab (AUTOCAB.EXE) extracts files, registry settings, and shortcuts
from Windows Mobile cabinet (.CAB) files. The Windows Mobile startup
sequence invokes AutoCab as a part of AutoExec and AutoRun. During the
Windows Mobile startup sequence, AutoCab processes all CAB files in the
“\CabFiles” directory relative to the current location of Autocab, unless the
location is overridden by command line arguments. AutoCab can run as a
stand-alone program to install a CAB file or a directory of CAB files.
AutoCab only installs the CAB file if it was not installed before by AutoCab. To track the installation of a CAB file, AutoCab marks the CAB file
with the System attribute. This attribute is ignored if the device is performing a clean-boot on a non-persistent file system.
AutoCab preserves the CAB file after installation if the ReadOnly attribute
is set. If not set, the CAB file is deleted automatically after installation.
Command line switches are described as follows.
Usage:
AutoCab [-ChkRst=][-File=][-Force][-Log=][-Move=][-Quiet=][-Show=][-Signal=]
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
81
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
-ChkRst=
Set to 1 to configure AutoCab to check for the Reset flag after all CAB files are installed. This file is created by CAB files that want a clean reset after installation. Default is 0 (do not check for flag).
-File=
Specifies the CAB files to extract. Note that the specified files need not end with the .CAB extension.
-Force
Forces the specified CAB files to extract regardless of whether it was previously extracted.
-Log=
Set to 1 to create a log file in the same folder that AutoCab is running. Useful for debugging CAB
installation. Default is 0 (disabled).
-Move=
Set to 1 to force source CAB file deletion, even when read-only bit set on file. Default is 0 (disabled).
-Quiet=
Set to 0 to allow AutoCab to display user message box on errors. Useful for debugging CAB installation.
Default is 1 (keep quiet).
-Show=
Set to 0 to prevent showing any installation progress interfaces. Also prevents user from canceling installation. Set to 1 to show normal installation. Set to 2 to show Intermec installation progress interface
(user can see what is installing but cannot cancel it). Default is 1 (show normal).
-Signal=
Set to string name of signal to use at the completion of CAB installation before a reboot occurs (if
enabled). AutoCab uses WaitForSingleObject on this name. Default is disabled.
If  references a single CAB file, that file is processed. If  references a directory, all the .CAB files in that directory is processed. If  is a wild card pattern, all files matching that pattern
is processed, If  is omitted, InstallCab processes all the .CAB
files in directory “\CabFiles.”
Example:
; Install all cab files in the \Flash File Store\XYZ directory, regardless.
AutoCab -FILE="\Flash File Store\XYZ\*.cab" -FORCE
; Install only one cab file, use Intermec cab installation display
AutoCab -FILE=”\myCab\app.cab” =show=2
Customizing How Applications Load on the Computer
If you have several processes that you need running in a specific order as the
CN3 Computer turns on, you can use the AutoRun system to customize
the way applications load. 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 CN3 Computer
1 On the CN3 Computer, create a folder called “SYSTEM.”
2 On your desktop, open the Notepad application.
82
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual

3 Write commands for AUTORUN.DAT using these supported script
commands:
Script Command
Description
EXEC
Launches a specified program and waits up to 10 minutes for it to complete.
CALL
Processes a specified file of commands, returns. When you use the CALL command, the execution of the current file pauses while a new file that follows the same set of commands executes.
Once the new file completes executing, AutoRun.exe processes the current file.
CHAIN
Processes a specified file of commands and does not return. This command calls another file
that follows the same set of commands and stops processing the current file.
RUN
Loads a specified program and executes it. Specifies the show window attribute so that the user
interface is visible when the application launches.
LOAD
Loads a specified program and executes it. Specifies the hide window attribute so the user interface is hidden initially.
4 Save this Notepad file as AUTORUN.DAT.
5 Copy the AUTORUN.DAT file to the “\SYSTEM” folder on your CN3

Configuring CN3 Parameters
You can configure many parameters on the CN3 Computer, such as the bar
code symbologies it decodes or the network settings. These characteristics
are controlled by configuration parameters. The values you set for these
configuration parameters determine how the computer operates. Use configuration commands to configure the CN3 Computer.

Configuring the CN3 Computer With Intermec Settings
Use the Intermec Settings applet to configure the CN3 Computer and view
system information. You can access the Intermec Settings applet while running any application.
From the CN3 desktop, select Start > Settings > the System tab > the
Intermec Settings icon.
For detailed information on most of the commands available in the Intermec Settings applet, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual
(P/N: 073529) via the Intermec web site. Go to “Before You Begin” for
access information.
Synchronizing the CN3 Computer System Time with a Time Server
It is important that the time on all of your CN3 Computers be synchronized with a network time server to ensure real-time communications and
updates. Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
from an outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The
CN3 Computer uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize with a network time server.
The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To
synchronize the time on your CN3 with this time server, you must have a
valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the CN3 Computer system time with a corporate network server within your firewall that
is SNTP-capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you need to
set the command name in the registry.
Configuring the CN3 Computer through the Network
You can change the configuration parameters of the CN3 Computer by
sending commands through a host computer or through the network. If
you are using a network, you can configure one or more CN3 Computers
at a time. You can remotely configure the wireless CN3 Computer by sending a command from an application on the host computer. Note that you
cannot set all parameters through the network. You can only set those commands
that have a syntax in the Command Reference Manual.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
Note: You can continue running an application on the CN3 Computer
while configuring it from the host computer.
Configuring the CN3 Computer in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network
Use the host computer to configure a wireless CN3 Computer in a TCP/IP
network. To send and receive configuration data, write a host application
that can communicate with the CN3 Computer directly through an access
point or through the network. Use the TMF protocol to send and receive
transactions between the host application and the CN3 Computer.
To set up the host computer, verify communication with the CN3 Computer. To set up the application, prepare and write a host application that
can communicate with the IAS and send transactions to and receive transactions from the CN3 Computer in this format:
TMF field
commands
where:

BV4
means the Beeper Volume configuration command is currently set to a
value of 4, which is a very high beeper volume.
Configuring the CN3 Computer in a UDP Plus Network
Use the host computer to configure a CN3 Computer in your wireless network. To send and receive configuration data or files, write a host application that can communicate with an Intermec Application Server (IAS)
formerly Gateway or DCS 30X.
For help, see the appropriate Gateway or DCS 30X User’s Manual. Use the
Terminal Message Format (TMF) protocol to send and receive transactions
between the host application and the CN3 Computer.
To set up the IAS, configure a peer-to-peer destination name for the host
application. Create a $NGCFGRSP transaction ID that routes to this destination name. The IAS uses the transaction ID to route responses from the
CN3 back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP is a special transaction
ID that the server uses to forward configuration response data from a CN3.
All configuration responses are routed with the $NGCFGRSP transaction
ID. The IAS cannot track multiple applications sending reader or configuration commands. If you have two host applications sending reader or configuration commands, they must both be configured to receive the
$NGCFGRSP transactions, and receive all CN3 Computer responses.
To set up the host computer, verify host computer-to-IAS communication.
To set up the application, prepare and write a host application that can
communicate with the IAS and send transactions to and receive transactions from the CN3 Computer in this format.

Wireless Printing
The Wireless Printing applet separates the task of wireless printing from
other Bluetooth management items not relevant to this task.
Wireless Printing has a concept of the “current wireless printer.” This
printer is the one to which the CN3 Computer makes a connection when
the wireless printing COM port is opened. If there is no current wireless
printer, there is no wireless printing COM port. Registration and deregistration of this COM port is controlled by the Bluetooth COM port control. Use the Wireless Printing applet to handle the COM port registration.
Customer software or other test applications can also use this applet to
manage the COM port registration and deregistration.
The current wireless printer is stored in the registry and is registered and
deregistered on Bluetooth stack load/unload. If the current wireless printer
changes, the existing wireless printing COM port is deregistered, and the
new one is registered instead. The registered COM port is stored in the registry as the “WPort.”
For information on using Bluetooth communications, see the Bluetooth
Resource Kit in the IDL, which is available as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec representative for more information.
Use any of the following methods to set the wireless printer:

Local Area Networks
The CN3 Computer is a versatile mobile computer that you can add to
your wired or wireless data collection network. You can connect your CN3
Computer to your network using either the 802.11b/g radio or the Bluetooth radio.
Configuring 802.11b/g Radio Communications
The wireless CN3 Computer has an internal 802.11b/g radio to transfer
data using wireless communications. This section of the manual assumes
that you have already set up your wireless communications network including access points. If you are using a UDP Plus network, you also need to
have an Intermec Application Server communicating with a host computer.
Your CN3 Computer supports TCP/IP and UDP Plus network protocols.
The easiest way to configure the network parameters on the CN3 Computer is to use the Intermec Settings applet. See “Intermec Settings
Applet” on page 10 for more information.
Configuring the Network Parameters for a TCP/IP Network
In a TCP/IP network, the CN3 Computer communicates with a host computer directly using TCP/IP. The access point acts as a bridge to allow
communications between the wired and wireless networks.
Configuring the Network Parameters for a UDP Plus Network
In a UDP Plus network, the CN3 Computer communications with a host
computer through the Intermec Application Server. The Intermec Application Server translates UDP Plus packets on the wireless network into
TCP/IP packets on the wired network and vice versa. The access point acts
as a bridge to allow communications between wired and wireless networks.

Configuring Security
Use the next sections to understand how to configure each type of security
on your wireless CN3 Computer.
The CN3 Computer provides three types of security for your wireless network: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2/802.11i), WPA, and WEP.
802.1x should be referred to as an authentication method used for WPA
and WPA2. Another authentication method for WPA and WPA2 would be
the Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
By default, Funk security is enabled. You must use either Microsoft or
Funk security to implement your security solution. Go to page 130 for
more information.
Loading Certificates
If you choose to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) with WPA or 802.1x
security, you need to have a unique client certificate on the CN3 Computer
and a trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. If you choose to use
PEAP, you need to load a root CA certificate. You can use a third-party CA
to issue unique client certificates and a root certificate.
If your CA is on your WLAN, select Start > Settings > the System tab > the
Certificates icon > the Root tab to view certificate details. To remove a certificate, press and hold a certificate, then select Delete.
Wireless Network
Your wireless adapter (network interface card) connects to wireless networks of two types: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks.
• Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network and the
internet. Using the 802.11b/g infrastructure mode, the CN3 Computer
establishes a wireless connection to an access point, linking you to the
rest of the network.
• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more clients, even with no access point.
128
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 5 — Network Support
Each wireless network is assigned a name (or Service Set Identifier - SSID)
to allow multiple networks to exist in the same area without infringement.
Intermec recommends using security measures with wireless networks to
prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure your privacy of
transmitted data. Authentication (cryptographically protected) by both the
network and the user, transmitted data, and encryption are required elements for secure networks. There are schemes available for implementing
these features.
Encryption
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
A block cipher, a type of symmetric key cipher that uses groups of bits of a fixed
length - called blocks. A symmetric key cipher is a cipher using the same key for
both encryption and decryption.
As implemented for wireless, this is also known as CCMP, which implements
AES as TKIP and WEP are implementations of RC4.
CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol)
This is Cisco's version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco Aironet
products.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol)
This protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless
LANs., which provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity 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 Initiation Vector (IV) reuse protection, weak keys, no protection against message replay, no detection of message tampering, and no key
updates.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
encryption
With preconfigured WEP, both the client CN3 Computer and access point are
assigned the same key, which can encrypt all data between the two devices. WEP
keys also authenticate the CN3 Computer to the access point - unless the CN3
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 (13character strings, 1234567890123). Enter these as either ASCII (12345) or Hex
(0x3132333435).
Key Management Protocols
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 authentication with EAP. WiFi Alliance security standard is designed to work with existing 802.11 products and to
offer forward compatibility with 802.11i.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
Second generation of WPA security. Like WPA, WPA2 provides enterprise and
home Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that their data remains protected
and that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 is based
on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard ratified in June
2004. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption
and is eligible for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140-2 compliance.
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
129
Chapter 5 — Network Support
Authentication
EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol)
802.11b/g uses this protocol to perform authentication. This is not necessarily an
authentication mechanism, but is a common framework for transporting actual
authentication protocols. Intermec provides a number of EAP protocols for you
to choose the best for your network.
EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling)
A publicly accessible IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by Cisco Systems. It is
available as an IETF informational draft. An 802.1X EAP type that does not
require digital certificates, supports a variety of user and password database types,
supports password expiration and change, and is flexible, easy to deploy, and easy
to manage.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible
Authentication Protocol)
Also known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/password based authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework,
traffic cannot pass through a wireless network access point until it successfully
authenticates itself.
EAP-PEAP (Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol)
Performs secure authentication against Windows domains and directory services.
It is comparable to EAP-TTLS both in its method of operation and its security,
though not as flexible. This does not support the range of inside-the-tunnel
authentication methods supported by EAP-TTLS. Microsoft and Cisco both
support this protocol.
EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security)
Based on the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol widely used to secure web
sites. This requires both the user and authentication server have certificates for
mutual authentication. While cryptically strong, this requires corporations that
deploy this to maintain a certificate infrastructure for all their users.
EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport
Layer Security)
This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS (see page 141) 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 TTLS Settings.
Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security
Before you can implement a security solution on the CN3 Computer, you
need to choose between Microsoft and Funk security:
• By default, Funk security is enabled. It provides everything you get with
Microsoft security plus the addition of Cisco Compatible Extensions features. It also provides additional authentication types like EAP-TTLS,
LEAP, and EAP-FAST. If you want to use Funk security, you can starting configuring your security now. Information starts on the next page.
• If you want to use Microsoft security, you need to select Microsoft security as your security choice before you can do configurations. Go to
“Configuring Microsoft Security” on page 148 to begin.
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication server.
For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft Active
Directory® to issue certificates.
130
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 5 — Network Support
Configuring Funk Security
You can define up to four profiles for your Funk Odyssey security. Different profiles let your CN3 Computer communicate in different networks
without having to change all of your security settings. For example, you can
set up one profile for the manufacturing floor and one for the warehouse.
1 Select Start > Settings > the System tab > the Intermec Settings icon.
2 Tap (+) to expand Communications > 802.11 Radio > Funk Security.
3 Select an active profile, then configure its security settings.
Using WPA Security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced, interoperable Wi-Fi
security that addresses many of the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Instead of WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) for its data encryption method. Currently, WPA satisfies IEEE
802.11i standards.
WPA runs in Enterprise (802.1x) mode or PSK mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using 802.1x and
the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). That is, an authentication
server (such as a RADIUS server) must authenticate each device before
the device can communicate with the wireless network.
• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a shared key
between the authenticator and the CN3 Computer. WPA-PSK is a good
solution for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an
authentication server.
To use WPA security, you need an access point with an 802.11b/g radio
that supports WPA.

Using 802.1x Authentication
802.1x authentication provides centralized user authentication using an
authentication server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These
components communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS
(Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication
Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP
key management. To use 802.1x security, you need:
• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
• A CN3 Computer with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option.

TTLS (EAP-Tunneled TLS)
This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS (see page 141) but
does not require user 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 EAPTTLS there is another inner authentication protocol that you must configure

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, it
differs significantly as EAP-FAST tunnel establishment is based on strong
secrets 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.

and during authentication credentials to uniquely identify a user - these
are passed between the NIC and the AP.
The base 802.1x technology does not protect the network from “rogue
APs.” These can mimic a legitimate AP to authentication protocols and
user credentials. This provides illegal users ways to mimic legitimate
users and steal network resources and compromise security.

SNMP Configuration on the Mobile Computer
In short, SNMP is an application-layer protocol that uses the exchange of
management information between network devices. The CN3 Computer is
such an SNMP-enabled device. Use SNMP to control and configure the
CN3 Computer anywhere on an SNMP-enabled network.
The CN3 Computer supports four proprietary Management Information
Bases (MIBs) and Intermec provides SNMP support for MIB-II through
seven read-only MIB-II (RFC1213-MIB) Object Identifiers (OIDs).
Note: Only query the seven OIDs through an SNMP management station.
Management Information Base
The Management Information Base is a database that contains information
about the elements to be managed. The information identifies the management element and specifies its type and access mode (Read-Only, ReadWrite). MIBs are written in ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation.1) — a
machine independent data definition language. Note: Elements to manage
are represented by objects. The MIB is a structured collection of such objects.
154

These MIB files are either in the CN3 Management Tools or on the web
via www.intermec.com:
• INTERMEC.MIB
Defines the root of the Intermec MIB tree.
• ITCADC.MIB
Defines objects for Automated Data Collection (ADC).
• ITCSNMP.MIB
Defines objects for Intermec SNMP parameters and security methods,
such as an SNMP security IP address.
• ITCTERMINAL.MIB
Defines objects for parameters, such as key clicks.
Object Identifiers
Each object has a unique identifier called an OID, which consist of a
sequence of integer values represented in dot notation. Objects are stored in
a tree structure and OIDs are assigned based on the position of the object
in the tree. For example, the internet OID is equal to 1.3.6.1.

Configuring with SNMP
The community string allows an SNMP manager to manage the CN3
Computer with a specified privilege level. The default read-only community string is “public” and “private” is the default read/write community
string. See the specific configuration parameter to find its OID.
To configure the CN3 Computers using SNMP
1 Configure CN3 Computers for RF communications.
2 Determine the OID (Object Identifier) for the parameter to change. The
Intermec base OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1963.
3 Use your SNMP management station to get and set variables that are
defined in the Intermec MIBs. You can set the traps, identification, or
security configuration parameters for SNMP.
