System. The applet separates the task of wireless printing setup
from other Bluetooth management tasks.
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual
41
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe
The Wireless Printing applet uses the concept of a “current
wireless printer.” The CK32 I-Safe connects to the current
wireless printer when your application opens the wireless printing
COM port on the CK32 I-Safe. If there is no current wireless
printer selected on your CK32 I-Safe, there is no wireless printing
COM port registered on your CK32 I-Safe. You must select a
current wireless printer on your CK32 I-Safe, as described in the
next section.
The Wireless Printing applet performs these tasks on the CK32 ISafe:
• Helps you select the current wireless printer
• Stores the current wireless printer in the registry
• Registers/deregisters the wireless printing COM port
• Stores the wireless printing COM port in the registry as the
WPort
Specifically, the current wireless printer is registered and
deregistered on Bluetooth stack load/unload. If you select a
different current wireless printer, the existing wireless printing
COM port is deregistered and the new one is registered instead.
The Wireless Printing applet uses the Bluetooth COM Port
Control to handle COM port registration/deregistration.
Selecting the Current Wireless Printer on the CK32 I-Safe
By default, there is no current wireless printer selected on the
CK32 I-Safe.
There are three ways to select the current wireless printer:
• Discovering the printer using Bluetooth device discovery

Configuring Security on the CK32 I-Safe
The CK32 I-Safe provides three types of security for your wireless
network:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• 802.1x
• WEP
This section explains how to configure security on your wireless
CK32 I-Safe. If you choose not to use security, see “Disabling
Security” on page 79. Intermec always recommends that you
implement security.
You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement
your security solution. For details, see “Choosing Between Funk
and Microsoft Security” on page 60.
56
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe
If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x security,
this section assumes that your authentication server and
authenticators are properly configured.
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your
authentication server. For example, you can choose Funk security
if you use Microsoft’s Internet Authentication Service.
Understanding the Wireless Network
Your wireless radio adapter (network interface card) connects to
wireless networks of two types: infrastructure and ad-hoc
networks.
• Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network
and the internet. The CK32 I-Safe establishes a wireless
connection to an access point, which links you to the rest of
the network. When you connect to a network using an access
point, you are using the 802.11 b/g infrastructure mode.
• Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or
more clients.
Each wireless network is assigned a name or SSID (Service Set
Identifier) to allow multiple networks to exist in the same area
without infringing on each other.
Intermec recommends using security with wireless networks to
prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure the
privacy of transmitted data. Authentication by both the network
and the user are required elements for secure networks. Use the
following table to understand some of the wireless network
terminology.
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 some of the requirements in the IEEE
802.11i draft standard. When the standard is finalized, WPA will
maintain forward compatibility.
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual
57
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe
WPA runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using
802.1x and an 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 CV30. WPAPSK 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 authentication server (Enterprise mode only).
• an access point with an 802.11 b/g radio that supports WPA.
• a CK32 I-Safe with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA
security option.
The CK32 I-Safe also supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
if you are using Funk security. WPA2 uses an Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption.
WPA2 runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared
Key) mode:
• For WPA2-802.1x mode, WPA2 requires authentication in
two phases; the first is an open system authentication and the
second uses 802.1x and an Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) authentication method.
• In PSK mode, WPA2 provides user authentication using a
shared key between the authenticator and the CK32 I-Safe.
WPA2-PSK is a good solution for small offices or home
offices that do not want to use an authentication server.
Using Static WEP Security
The CK32 I-Safe uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
protocol to add security to your wireless network based on the
802.11 standard.
58
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK32 I-Safe
To use WEP security, you need:
• a CV30 with an 802.11b/g radio.
• an access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
Using 802.1x Security
802.1x security 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 CK32 I-Safe with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA
security option.
• an authentication server.
Using LEAP Security
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), also
known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/passwordbased authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS
server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through an
Ethernet hub or wireless network access point until it successfully
authenticates itself.
The station must identify itself and prove that it is an authorized
user before it is actually allowed to use the LAN. LEAP also
delivers a session key to the authenticated station, so that future
frames can be encrypted with a key that is different than keys
used by other sessions.
To use LEAP security, you need:
• a RADIUS server.
• Cisco access points.
LEAP security is not supported with Microsoft security.

Choosing Between Funk and Microsoft Security
The CK32 I-Safe provides both Funk and Microsoft security
choices. Funk security is the default setting. Use the following
sections to set security using either Funk or Microsoft as your
security choice. Both security choices offer similar features, but
Funk security also offers these features:
• CCX v2.0 compliance
• Support for LEAP, TTLS, and FAST
• Configuration of up to four profiles
If you want to use the default Funk security, you need to select a
profile. For help, see one of the following sections, “Configuring

Configuring EAP-FAST with Profile Wizard
The EAP-FAST protocol is a client-server security architecture
that encrypts EAP transactions with a TLS tunnel. While similar
to PEAP, EAP-FAST differs significantly since 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
CicsoSecure ACS. EAP-FAST does not require certificate
management.

Loading a Certificate
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 CK32 I-Safe and a trusted root certificate authority (CA)
certificate. You can use a third-party CA to issue unique client
certificates and a root certificate.
There are three ways to load certificates on the CK32 I-Safe:
• If you are using Active Directory to issue certificates, you can
use the Enroll Certificates application to load the certificates.
• If you are using another third-party CA, you can use the
Import Certificates application to load the certificates.
• If you have multiple certificates to install, you can use the
Import Root Certificates and Import User Certificates
functions.
Note: For certificates to be valid, the CK32 I-Safe must be set to
the correct date and time. After cold booting the CK32 I-Safe,
you may need to correct the date and time.
To load certificates if you are using Active Directory
1 Configure the network and radio settings for the CK32 I-Safe
to communicate with your certificate authority or establish an
ActiveSync connection with the CA.

CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer Users Manual
Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications
Developing a Web-Based Application
You can develop web-based data collection applications for use
on the CK32 I-Safe. For help, see any HTML source book. The
CK32 I-Safe contains Internet Explorer Mobile for you to use.
Microsoft Internet Explorer Mobile is available from the Start
menu and provides all of the common elements you expect to
find.
Converting a Trakker Antares Application for the CK32 I-Safe
If you have an existing Trakker Antares application that you
would like to run on the CK32 I-Safe, you can use the Antares
Migration Resource Kit to convert it. The Antares Migration
Resource Kit is a set of libraries and tools that you use to convert
your existing Trakker Antares C applications into C++
applications for use on the CK32 I-Safe.
The CK32 I-Safe does not support all Trakker Antares functions.
You may need to rewrite parts of your application when
converting it for use on the CK32 I-Safe. See the resource kit for
a list of functions that are not supported.
You need these hardware and software components to use the
resource kit:
• PC with at least 100 MB of free disk space running Microsoft
Windows 2000/XP
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 (or later)
• Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.2 or later

Chapter 4— Developing and Installing Applications
Installing Applications on the CK32 I-Safe
There are several ways you can install applications on the CK32
I-Safe:
• You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.
• If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver
the .exe file.
• You can copy a directory structure that contains the
application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications.
The CK32 I-Safe uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and
will install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place
your application in any of these memory locations on the CK32
I-Safe:
• Applications can be installed into the Object Store or the
Flash File Store. Both locations are virtual partitions on the
embedded storage card in the system. The Object Store will
be erased during a ‘clean’ boot, but the Flash File store will
persist. Neither location will be erased during a normal reset
of the system. The registry always persists to the Object Store
region for normal resets. If you need files and/or registry
entries to persist through a ‘clean’ boot, it is suggested that
you use a cab file installed from the Flash File Store area. For
more information on ‘clean’ boots, see “Resetting Your
Computer” on page 110.
There are several ways you can install files and applications on the
CK32 I-Safe:
• SmartSystems server
• ActiveSync
• Wavelink Avalanche
The following sections explain how to use each one of these
processes to install your application on the CK32 I-Safe.
84
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer Users Manual
Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications
Installing Applications Using SmartSystems Foundation
You can use the SmartSystems server to drag-and-drop Intermec
applications onto your CK32 I-Safe. The CK32 I-Safe ships with
the SmartSystems client, which means it is SmartSystemsenabled. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation, which
you can download from www.intermec.com/SmartSystems. For
help using the console, see the online help.
To install an application using SmartSystems Foundation
1 Download your application file to your desktop PC.
2 Double-click the application file to install it. The application
file should appear in the software vault.
3 From the SmartSystems console in the Software Vault,
drag-and-drop the application onto each CK32 I-Safe in your
network.
Installing Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection
between your PC and the CK32 I-Safe. ActiveSync transfers files,
synchronizes files, performs remote debugging, and other device
management activities. For more information on ActiveSync see
“Using Microsoft ActiveSync” on page 32.
You can have a USB or 802.11 b/g ActiveSync connection to the
CK32 I-Safe. When you only have a few CK32 I-Safes to update,
you can copy files using Windows Explorer on a PC.
This procedure assumes that Microsoft ActiveSync is installed on
your PC and is up and running.
To install an application using ActiveSync
1 Use the AN1 Communications Adapter to connect the CK32
I-Safe to a PC or host via the USB port.
Intrinsically Safe rules prohibit direct connection to the CK32
I-Safe.
You may have to disconnect and then connect the cable to
“wake” the connection.

selected files. Tap Yes to initiate a clean boot. For help, see
“Performing a Clean Boot” on page 111.
This completes the installation process for Install Select.
Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a
reset), the CK32 I-Safe attempts to connect to the Avalanche
Agent. When the CK32 I-Safe connects to the agent, the agent
determines whether an update is available and immediately starts
the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.
You can now install software packages and updates for the CK32
I-Safe using the Avalanche Administrative Console. Schedule the
CK32 I-Safe updates or manually initiate an update using the
Avalanche Administrative Console.

Launching An 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.
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 builtin 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 “2577” directory on a mounted volume in
this order: miniSD, Object Store (or User Store), which may be
non-volatile storage or RAM, and Flash File Store which may
map as Object Store (default location for the AutoExec program in
Intermec systems). Intermec system applications start from this
folder. However, the ordering of mounted volumes does override
this feature.
90
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer Users Manual
Chapter 4 — Developing and Installing Applications
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 Intermecspecific applications. It launches the .cab installer, AutoCab
(AutoCab.exe), to install platform .cab files to the system, such as
the SSPB.
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.
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. Shown is the
hierarchy of these files.
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.

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 nonpersistent 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=]
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.”

Use this chapter to solve problems you may encounter while
using the CK32 I-Safe. You will also find information on booting
the computer and routine maintenance.
If you have any problems using the CK32 I-Safe, look in this
chapter to find a possible solution. This chapter consists of the
following section.
• Upgrading the CK32 I-Safe Using SmartSystems

Chapter 5— Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Upgrading the CK32 I-Safe Using SmartSystems
You can use the SmartSystems™ Foundation application from
Intermec to perform operating system upgrades on your CK32
I-Safe. SmartSystems client is installed on your CK32-I-Safe,
which means it is SmartSystems-enabled. The console is part of
SmartSystems Foundation, which you can download from
www.intermec.com/SmartSystems.
When you upgrade the operating system, you erase the current
configuration and replace it with the new default configuration.
You will need to reset the network parameters on the CK32
I-Safe to reestablish communications with other devices in the
network. In other words, if you upgrade the operating system and
the default registry from the operating system has changed, the
registry is rolled back to the new default.
When you upgrade your CK32 I-Safe , you are updating the
operating system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle
(SSPB) files.
The SSPB files are stored on the Flash File Store, and deliver
Intermec Value Add (IVA) functionality such as data collection,
configuration, and wireless security. As new features are added to
these components, you can upgrade your SSPB files without
needing to upgrade the operating system. Similarly, features
added to the operating system do not affect the functionality of
the SSPB, and you can choose to upgrade only the operating
system. If you choose to update only the operating system, the
SSPB will need to be re-installed.
If you are upgrading the OS and SSPB files, you first install the
OS upgrade and then you install the SSPB upgrade. The
installation process is very similar for both type of upgrade but
the way the files install is different.
Downloading the Upgrade Files
You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec
web site to your desktop computer.
To download the upgrade files
1 Start your web browser and go to the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com.
2 Go to Service & Support > Downloads.

Cleaning the Scanner Window, Screen, and Computer
To keep the computer in good working order, you may need to
perform these minor maintenance tasks:
• clean the scanner window
• clean the screen
• clean the computer housing and handle
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual
111
Chapter 5— Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Cleaning the Scanner Window and Screen
Clean the scanner window and screen as often as needed for the
environment in which you are using the computer. To clean the
window and screen, use a solution of ammonia and water.
Mixing of ammonia and water should be done in a well
ventilated area.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the CK32 I-Safe or
in the battery. Opening the unit outside of an Intermec
approved service facility will void the I-Safe certification.
To clean the scanner window and computer screen
1 Press the Power button to turn off the CK32 I-Safe.
2 Dip a clean towel or rag in the ammonia solution and wring
out the excess. Wipe off the scanner window and screen. Do
not allow any abrasive material to touch these surfaces.
3 Wipe dry.
Cleaning the Handle and Computer
The exterior of the computer and the handle should be cleaned
with a mild solution of soap and water. Other cleaners may affect
the ESD dissipation characteristics of the handle and CK32
I-Safe body.
Mild soap refers to soaps you use on your hands and/or body that
don't contain any abrasive media or filler. The soap should not
contain a large amount of artificial fragrance or any of the
following: witch hazel, aloe vera, vegetable and herbal oils such as
evening primrose oil, olive oil, or coconut oil, or chamomile,
lavender, rosemary or peppermint. Do not use products labeled
as detergents.
Examples of mild soaps are:
• Ivory Snow liquid or powder
• Ivory bar soap
• Jergens mild soap (bar)
• Woolite (an exception to hand/body soaps)
112
CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 5— Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Add just enough soap to a quantity of water to start and create
sudsing (using agitation while adding), but no more; you can't go
wrong with this solution. Keep in mind that the water should just
be warm; hot water can have adverse affects on some plastics.
• Ammonia is not compatible with polycarbonates, a major
component in the CK32 I-Safe housing; it is NOT
recommended as a cleaner.
• Plastic cleaners like 3M Plastic Cleaner, Plexus®, Meguiar’s®
PlastX, All Kleer Plastic Cleaner & Polish and the like all have
polishes (micro-abrasives) and waxes that make them
unsuitable for cleaning the handle and computer.
• Plastic protectants like Armor All® or Son of a Gun® are for
protecting plastic from UV rays. They clean to some degree,
but can leave the product slippery. Use at your own risk.
To clean the handle and computer
1 Unscrew the handle and remove it from the CK32 I-Safe.
2 Clean the surface of the magnet with a damp cloth.
3 Use adhesive tape to remove any metal debris from the surface
of the magnet in the handle.
4 Clean the computer and handle.
5 Reattach the handle.
