Introduction

This chapter introduces the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer, developed by Intermec to enhance wireless connectivity needs. This chapter
contains hardware and software configuration information to assist you in
making the most out of your 700 Color Computer.
Note: Desktop icons and applet icons are shown to the left.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Introduction

AB10 Battery
The 700 Color Computer comes with a 14.4 Watt-hour, 7.2V,
replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon) battery.
The 730 Computer comes with an 8.8 Watt-hour, 3.7V, replaceable LiIon
battery.
To view the status of the battery, tap Start > Settings > the System tab >
the Power icon > the Power tab to view the current status of both the
main AB10 battery and the backup battery. Tap ok to exit this
information.

If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your computer does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Although the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, you
should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a
low battery condition.
Note: The 700 Color Computer has an internal backup super capacitor
which retains data for an average of ten minutes after the battery is removed. It also shuts down the 700 Color Computer if the main battery
suddenly goes away (removed from the computer). Depending upon the
processes running, it may not have adequate power for a graceful shut
down. If so, the 700 Color performs a cold-boot the next time power is
applied.
Note: The 730 I-Safe Computer performs a cold-boot every time its main
battery is removed if it was not put in suspend mode prior to the removal.
In short, put the 700 Color Computer into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove the main battery.

2

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Introduction

If you have at least one device in your 700 Color Computer (radio, scanner, imager, or Ethernet), the battery power fail level is set so that after the
system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge
to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at
room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:
S The battery discharges beyond this level.
S The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
S A cold-boot (reset) is performed on the computer.
You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the 700 Color
Computer, tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Power icon > the
Battery tab. Drag the top slider bar to the right to change the suspend
voltage to favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

application stops responding to the system. It does, however, unload all
running programs.
Press and hold the I/O key for about ten seconds, then the 700 Color
Computer continues from the screen you were at before you performed
the warm-boot.

Performing a Cold-Boot
In some cases where the 700 Color Computer completely stops responding, it may be necessary to perform a cold-boot. Because this may result in
data loss, this procedure is not recommended unless all other recovery
methods have failed.
Note: This deletes all programs and data stored in RAM including the Object Store. Make sure data is backed up to your host computer or a storage
card before performing a cold-boot.

level.

34

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003

S Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that the 700 Color Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.
S Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
S If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add is not
included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they are edited. For example, you can resize selected
drawings, while you cannot resize writing.

The drawing box indicates
the boundaries of the
drawing.

Microsoft ActiveSync
Visit the following Microsoft Web site for the latest in updates, technical
information, and samples:
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/communities/default.mspx
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on the
desktop with information on your 700 Color Computer. Synchronization
compares the data on your 700 Color Computer with your desktop and
updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:
S Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your 700 Color
Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
S Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
700 Color Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
S Back up and restore your 700 Color Computer data.
S Copy files between your 700 Color Computer and desktop.
S Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.
S Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your 700 Color Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your 700 Color Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so
you can synchronize information between your 700 Color Computer and
your desktop, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on
your 700 Color Computer. Notice that information you have stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your 700 Color Computer, and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the 700 Color
Computer from your computer and you are ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your 700 Color Computer.
To switch to ActiveSync on your 700 Color Computer, tap Start >
ActiveSync. Note that if you have a wireless LAN card, you can
synchronize remotely from your 700 Color Computer.

Microsoft Pocket Outlook
Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and
Notes. Use these programs individually or together, such as, you can use
e-mail addresses stored in Contacts to address e-mail messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop with your 700 Color Computer.
You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the
changes you made on your 700 Color Computer and desktop or server
and updates both computers with the latest information. See ActiveSync
Help on the desktop for information. You can switch to any program by
tapping it on the Start menu.

Calendar: Scheduling Appointments and Meetings
To switch to Calendar on the 700 Color Computer, tap Start > Calendar.
Use Calendar to schedule appointments, including meetings and other
events. You can check your appointments in one of several views (Day,
Week, Month, Year, and Agenda) and set Calendar to remind you of appointments with a sound or other method. Appointments for the day can
display on the Today screen.

Synchronizing Calendar
Calendar items stored on your device can be synchronized with calendar
items on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server. (Note that you can
only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your
company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.)
Calendar synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync.
Calendar items entered on one computer are copied to the other during
synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metafiles
(pictures).
For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop.

Why Use Categories in the Calendar?
Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then,
use these groupings to display the information you want. For example, you
can easily share your device with another by assigning your appointments
to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use this category
to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that project.

What’s an All Day Event?
An appointment can either be a normal appointment or an all day event,

Synchronizing Notes
Notes can be synchronized between your desktop and device either
through notes synchronization or file synchronization. Notes synchronization synchronizes the notes on your 700 Color Computer with Outlook
Notes on your desktop. File synchronization synchronizes all notes on
your 700 Color Computer with the My Documents folder for the 700
Color Computer on your desktop.
To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select the
Notes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time
you synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on your
device appear in Outlook Notes on your desktop. Notes that contain only
text appear as regular notes in Outlook on your desktop, while notes containing written text or drawings appear in the device format. In addition,
all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the desktop appear in Notes on
the device.
To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files information type for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. When
you select Files, the My Documents folder for the 700 Color Computer is
created on your desktop. All .PWI files placed in the My Documents folder on your device and all .DOC files placed in the My Documents folder
for the 700 Color Computer on your desktop are synchronized. Passwordprotected files cannot be synchronized.
ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For information
on synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.
Note: When you delete or change an item on either your desktop or 700
Color Computer, the item is changed or deleted in the other location the
next time you synchronize.
Note: If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then
later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes are synchronized with Outlook on your desktop and no longer store in the My Documents folder for the 700 Color Computer.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
To switch to Inbox on your 700 Color Computer, tap Start > Inbox.
You can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Inbox. Internet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your
Internet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sent
and received through your wireless phone service provider by using a
phone number as the message address.
You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, or
by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an e-mail account
for each method that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set
up by default. The ActiveSync folder on your 700 Color Computer stores
messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desktop. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left,
under the navigation bar) in the Inbox message list.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003

With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the device Inbox and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or
Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail
Messages” below.
When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or a modem or Ethernet card
to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connected. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line connection. For information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server” on page 65.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages
After selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages
are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During
synchronization:
S Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the
Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your 700 Color Computer. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an
Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the
last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
S Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
S The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your 700 Color Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the
next time you synchronize.
S Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or select Start >
Help > Connections to see Connections Help.

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
Each e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with
five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items.
The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in
these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on
the Inbox options you have chosen.
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
S If you use ActiveSync,
e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook automatically synchronize with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders
by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the
messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you

64

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003

move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family,
and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a
copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You
can then read the messages while away from your desktop.
S If you use SMS,
messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
S If you use POP3
and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken
between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server.
The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are
missing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. This
prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also
means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the 700 Color Computer.
S If you use IMAP4,
the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored
on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your 700 Color Computer
or desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename or delete folders
when connected.
For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Tools > Manage Folders.

Connecting to a Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your 700 Color Computer. You
need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the 700 Color Computer Inbox folder, messages in the 700 Color Computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the e-mail
server are removed from the 700 Color Computer Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on
your 700 Color Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the
next time you connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your 700 Color Computer.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and
sends the messages you have composed.

Installing Applications

There are multiple ways to get an application to your 700 Series Color
Mobile Computer; just as there are multiple ways to package the application for delivery.
Note: “700 Color” pertains to 730, 740, 741, 750, 751, 760, and 761
Computers unless otherwise noted.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Installing Applications

Packaging an Application
Use any of these methods to package an application for installation:
S For very simple applications, the application itself might be the only file
that needs to be delivered.
S It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
S Or, you could package an application via a CAB file.
Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to
store your application:
S In the basic 700 Color Computer, there are two built-in storage options: the Object Store and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM). The
Object Store is RAM that looks like a disk. Anything copied here is deleted when a cold-boot is performed on the 700 Color Computer. The
PSM 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 cold-boot. It
may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to
storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.
S If the optional Secure Digital or CompactFlash storage card is in the
system, then consider this card the primary location for placing an applications install files. The following folders represent either card:
S The Secure Digital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder.
S The CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.
Note: 730 Computers do not support Compact Flash storage cards.
Instead, the “\Storage Card” folder is created for the Secure Digital
storage card.
S Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that
rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB file
into the Flash File Store so they are “ready-to-run” when a cold-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.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when a cold-boot is
performed on a 700 Color Computer — providing the AutoRun system is
installed in the appropriate location Find this system in the 700 Color
Management Tools portion. Copying a CAB file to the “\CabFiles” folder
on one of these cards automatically extracts that CAB file on every
cold-boot to ensure that your system is properly set up (see page 95).

86

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Installing Applications

Installing Applications
Consider any of these options to get the package to the preferred location:
S Microsoft ActiveSync (next page)
S Storage cards (page 88)
S FTP Server (page 88)
S Registry (page 88)

Using Microsoft ActiveSync
Note: These instructions assume the 700 Color Management Tools were
installed on your desktop.
The Microsoft ActiveSync tool is located on the 700 Color Companion CD.
See Chapter 2, “Windows Mobile 2003,” for information about this tool
as provided by Microsoft Corporation.
This can be a serial or USB ActiveSync connection. Files can be copied
using File Explorer on a desktop or a laptop computer. This is usually
good when updating few 700 Color 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 2003,” for an URL from which to download the latest application.
1 Connect your 700 Color Computer to your desktop computer via an
ActiveSync cable.
2 Wait for a “Connected” message to appear in the Microsoft ActiveSync
application to signal a connection to the 700 Series Computer. If necessary, select File > Get Connected to initiate a connection.

3 Click Explore to access the Mobile Device folder on your unit.
4 From your desktop, select Start > Windows Explorer, then browse the
“C:\Intermec\700C Mgmt Tools\CabFiles” path for any CAB files
needed for your 700 Color Computer. Select the appropriate file, rightclick the file for a pop-up menu, then select Copy.

Chapter 3 — Installing Applications

5 Within the Mobile Device directory, go to the directory where you
want the files located on the 700 Color Computer, do a right-click for a
pop-up menu, then select Paste.
6 When all of the files are pasted, perform a warm-boot on the 700 Color
Computer. When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top
left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start > Programs > File
Explorer to locate the newly copied executable files, then tap these files
to activate their utilities.

Using the FTP Server
The 700 Color Computer has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network via Ethernet, 802.11b, or WAN (Wireless Access Network). This
allows connections to the 700 Color Computer to perform file transfers or
computer management functions. Another benefit is you can create FTP
scripts to automate the process of copying files to the 700 Color Computer. This option is good for when a large number of 700 Color Computers
need updating. See Chapter 7, “Programming,” for more information.

Using a Storage Card
Note: The 730 Computer does not use the CompactFlash storage card,
only Secure Digital storage cards. Use these instructions only if you are
using either a 740 or a 741 Computer that does not have an 802.11 radio
installed. 730, 750, 751, 760, 761 Computers only use Secure Digital
storage cards.
Use the following steps to install an application using either a CompactFlash or a Secure Digital storage card:
1 Suspend the 700 Color Computer and remove the storage card.
2 Insert the storage card into the storage card reader connected to your
desktop PC.
3 Create a “\CabFiles” directory on the storage card, then copy (build into
cabfiles) your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers
into this directory.
4 See “Creating CAB Files” on page 188 to build a “\2577” directory to
control the autolaunching of these CAB files.
5 Remove the storage card from your card reader and reinstall it into the
700 Color Computer.
6 Warm-boot the 700 Color Computer to install these files.

Replicating 700 Color Settings Using the Registry
This information updates the registry on your 700 Color Computer, confirms the registry update, then copies the information onto other 700 Color Computers in your network. If using DHCP, no changes are necessary.
If you are using Static IP, the new 700 Color Computer will have the IP
address of the original 700 Color Computer because the copied registry
includes this information.

88

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Installing Applications

When you change the IP address using the Intermec Settings applet, the
information is lost when you perform a warm-boot, and the original IP
address is used.
You must load the REGFLUSH.CAB file before running the Registry Save
application. Once you do, perform a warm-boot to keep the IP address.
To install the Registry Save application after a cold-boot is performed,
change the properties of the REGFLUSH.CAB file to that of read-only.
Using ActiveSync, copy the CAB file to the “Flash File Store\Persistent
Copy\CabFiles” folder on the 700 Color Computer, then perform a coldboot to load this CAB file.

Migrating from a 700 Monochrome Computer
As you migrate from a 700 Monochrome Computer to a 700 Color Computer, you need to consider the following: When converting a 700 Monochrome Computer application to run on the 700 Color Computer, most
APIs should work without changes. Below are a few exceptions:
S The 700 Monochrome Computer uses the “\Storage Card” folder for
nonvolatile storage. You may need to change the application to store
data onto the “SDMMC Disk” folder instead of the “\Storage Card”
folder if a Secure Digital storage card is present in the system.
S If the application uses the RegFlushKey() API, it must first verify that
the proper media is available in the system and call this API.
S If the application is using the 700 Color switchable dock, use the
IOCTL_DOCK_SWITCH value from the
IOCTL_HAL_ITC_WRITE_SYSPARM function to set the proper
port on the dock before communications. See more information about
this KernelIOControl function in Chapter 7, “Programming.”
S Some WAN radio options have changed. Review the WAN radio information in Chapter 4, “Network Support,“to determine if any changes
are required in your application.
S Arrow and tab keys are reversed from the 700 Monochrome Computer.
Keyboard remapping is available on the 700 Color Computer should
you need to map these keys like that of the 700 Monochrome Computer (see page 92).
S Targeting the ARM (SA1110) processor which creates applications that
run on the 700 Color Computer requires the Windows Mobile 2003
SDK.

Installing Cabinet Files
CAB files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by
Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .CAB, that
stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread
over several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application decompresses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s system.
For the 700 Series Computer, CAB files register DLLs, create shortcuts,
modify registry entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a CAB file to
extract that file or place the CAB file on one of the approved storage devices in the “\CabFiles” folder, then perform a warm-boot on the 700 Series Computer. There are two methods available to extract a CAB file:
S Tap a CAB file to extract it. With this method, the CAB file is automatically deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless the CAB
file is set with the read-only attribute.
S Use AUTOCAB to extract all files when a cold-boot is performed on
the 700 Series Computer. See the Software Tools User’s Manual for information.

Configuring 802.11 Radio Communications
Caution: Make sure all components with antennas are at least 30 cm (1
ft) apart when power is applied. Failure to comply could result in
equipment damage.
The wireless 700 Color Computer has an internal 802.11b or 802.11b/g
radio to transfer data using wireless communications. This manual assumes
you already have set up your wireless communications network, including
your access points. If you are using a UDP Plus network, have your
Intermec Application Server communicate with a host computer. Your
700 Color Computer supports TCP/IP and UDP Plus.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a TCP/IP Network
In a TCP/IP network, the 700 Color 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.

2 Configure security. Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Wireless Network icon to access the Profile Wizard for the 802.11b or
802.11b/g radio module. Go to Appendix A, “Configurable Settings,”
for information.

Configuring the Network Parameters for a UDP Plus Network
In a UDP Plus network, the 700 Color Computer communicates 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 the wired and
wireless networks.
1 Configure the network name (SSID), controller IP address, and IP settings (if not using DHCP), and controller port (set to 5555) on each
700 Color Computer in the network.
2 Configure security. Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Wireless Network icon to access the Profile Wizard for the 802.11b or
802.11b/g radio module. Go to Appendix A, “Configurable Settings,”
for information.
The easiest way to configure the network parameters on the 700 Color
Computer is to use the Intermec Settings applet. Go to Appendix A,
“Configurable Settings.” for information.

Network Adapters
The 700 Color Computer can have up to three radios installed. The default network adapter or radio is dependent on what radios are installed in
your unit. The 700 Color Computer is capable of supporting 802.11i security requirements.

AutoIP/DHCP
Automatic Private IP Addressing (AutoIP) is enabled by default in
Windows Mobile 2003. To remain compatible with other versions of
Pocket PC, this setting needs to be enabled. You can configure the registry
settings in the following to set the required AutoIP/DHCP behavior:
S For Ethernet:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN9001\TcpIp

S Fot 802.11:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NETWLAN1\TcpIp

Other registry keys that can modify the behavior of AutoIP are as follows.
You can find the appropriate settings and behavior of each of these keys in
Microsoft Help.
S AutoInterval
S AutoMask
S AutoSubnet
S AutoIP
S AutoSeed
When a TCP/IP client cannot find a DHCP server, it generates an AutoIP
address from the 169.254.xxx.xxx block. The client then tries to check for
a DHCP server every 15 seconds and if a DHCP server is found, the client
drops the AutoIP address and uses the address from the DHCP server.
In the MSDN Windows CE documentation available out on the Microsoft Developer Network web site (www.msdn.com), see “Automatic Client
Configuration” for more information on AutoIP.
To disable AutoIP, set the AutoCfg registry entry to “0.” If a DHCP server cannot be found, instead of using AutoIP, the system will display the
“Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address” message.
Note: If you try to disable AutoIP using a CAB file to set the registry value
for AutoIP, remember to set the EnableDHCP value to “1” to keep
DHCP enabled
Note: To extend the number of attempts that a DHCP client makes to get
a DHCP address, use the DhcpRetryDialogue and DhcpMaxRetry registry
settings.
Note: Change the AutoInterval registry key value to make the client retry
more often to obtain a DHCP address.

Activation
Note: Set the date and time before doing this activation.
SB555 Watcher is for activation and data provisioning. Once you enable
voice capability, data capability, or both depending on the carrier, remove
this program from the system by cold-booting your computer.
Do not use the SB555 Watcher to make data/voice calls on a daily basis:
S The SB555 Watcher application is a third-party application unaware of
certain power management methods used in your 760 Computer. Therefore,
the application consumes more power than necessary.
S The application size consumes memory better used for application data.
The process of setting up the account with your carrier and enabling the
CDMA WAN radio in your 760 Computer is called activation. To properly function, program the CDMA device with the necessary information
and set up the network carrier account. If either piece has errors, the device does not function on the CDMA network.
The CDMA radio is pre-programmed for a specific carrier, such as Sprint,
Telus, Bell Mobility, Verizon, etc.). Therefore, information about your
radio should already be in your carrier’s database.
You need to notify the carrier and set up mobile accounts for each unit
you are activating. The Electronic Serial Number (ESN hex 63xxxxxx)
that you need to supply to your carrier is located in two places:
S On the outside of the 760 Computer shipping box.
S On the inside of the 760 Computer battery compartment. The label
includes the term “ESN” and a bar code along with the serial number.
The ESN comes in both decimal and hexadecimal formats. Most carriers
accept either format, but with a preference for the decimal format. You
only need to provide one number to your carrier.
S The decimal format consists of 11 digits, beginning with “099.”
S The hexadecimal format is an 8-digit number, beginning with “63.”
Accounts for Verizon and Sprint carriers can be set up for data only. Canadian carriers (Telus and Bell Mobility) can be set for data only, voice only,
or both voice and data. This is determined by your application and the
services your carrier offers.
After the all ESNs are provided to the carrier and the carrier has established the accounts, you will be provided with the lock codes and telephone numbers needed to complete the activation process. You use the
SB555 Watcher program to accomplish this task. Note this for future use.
Note: Ensure that you receive a spreadsheet with your order that calls out
all ESNs in both decimal and hexadecimal formats.
Note: Keep the activation information for your devices in a safe, accessible
place should you have any future issues.
Note: Not all of the elements listed are required by all service providers.

SNMP Configuration on the Mobile Computer
In short, SNMP is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. The 700
Color Computer is such an SNMP-enabled device. Use SNMP to control
and configure the 700 Color anywhere on an SNMP-enabled network.
The 700 Color 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: You can only query these 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 be managed
are represented by objects. The MIB is a structured collection of such objects.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

157

Chapter 4 — Network Support

You will find the following MIB files either in the 700 Color Management
Tools or on the web via www.intermec.com:
S INTERMEC.MIB
Defines the root of the Intermec MIB tree.
S ITCADC.MIB
Defines objects for Automated Data Collection (ADC), such as bar
code symbologies.
S ITCSNMP.MIB
Defines objects for Intermec SNMP parameters and security methods,
such as an SNMP security IP address.
S ITCTERMINAL.MIB
Defines objects for 700 Color 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. Seven MIB
OIDs are shown in the following table:

Configuring with SNMP
The community string allows an SNMP manager to manage the 700 Color 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 using SNMP, configure 700 Color Computers for RF or
Ethernet communications. Determine the OID (Object Identifier) for the
parameter to be changed. The Intermec base OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1963.
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.

Printing ASCII
These methods for printing using Pocket PC at this time is as follows:
S Add port drivers to print ASCII directly to the port.
S Use LinePrinter ActiveX Control from the Printing Resource Kit via the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL) available as a download from the Intermec webs site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec representative for more information.
S Via wireless printing - see the Bluetooth Resource Kit User’s Guide for more
information.

Directly to a Port
Printing directly to the port sends RAW data to the printer. The format of
this data depends upon your application and the printer capabilities.
You must understand the printer commands available for your specific
printer. Generally, applications just send raw ASCII text to the printer.
Since you are sending data to the printer from your application directly to
the port you are in complete control of the printers operations. This allows
you to do line printing (print one line at a time) rather than the page format printing offered by the GDI approach. It is also much faster since data
does not have to be converted from one graphics format to the other (display to printer). Most Intermec® printers use Epson Escape Sequences to
control print format operations.
These commands are available in documentation you receive with your
printers or from technical support. Win32 APIs are required to print directly to the port.

Directly to a Generic Serial Port
To print directly to a generic serial port printer (non-Intermec printers):
S Use CreateFile() to open ports — COM1 can open on most devices.
S Use WriteFile() to send data directly to the printer.
S Use CloseHandle() when you are finished printing to close the port.

IrDA Printer Driver
IrDA printing is only available on the certain devices and is supported directly by the Windows CE load via the IrSock API provided by the Microsoft Win32 API without need for additional drivers. Intermec 6804, 6805,
6806, 6808 and 6820 and other IrDA printers are supported.

NPCP Printer Driver
The NPCP printer communications driver (NPCPPORT.DLL) is a
Stream Device Driver built into the operating system. The driver supports
only NPCP communications to and from the 6820 and 4820 printers over
a selected serial port.
All applications use WIN32 API functions to access drivers. Applications
easily implement basic operations through the CreateFile(), WriteFile(),
ReadFile(), DeviceIOControl(), and CloseHandle() Win32 APIs.
DeviceIOControl() functions are used to do most upgrade printer modules, printer diagnostics, and get printer configurations.

About NPCP
NPCP (Norand® Portable Communications Protocol) is a proprietary
protocol that provides session, network, and datalink services for Intermec
mobile computers in the Intermec LAN environment used with printers
and data communications.

NPCP Driver Installation and Removal
Use LPT9: for the NPCP printer device and COM1 for the last parameter. COM1 is the connection available via the 700 Color Computer.
Applications use the RegisterDevice() function to install the driver.
DeregisterDevice() uninstalls the device driver and frees memory space
when the driver is not required. Use the HANDLE returned by
RegisterDevice() as the parameter to DeregisterDevice().
Use the RegisterDevice() function call as demonstrated below. Specify the
full path name to the driver starting at the root for the RegisterDevice()
function to work properly. The last parameter to RegisterDevice() is a
DWORD that represents the name of the port for the NPCP stream
driver to use. Build this parameter on the stack if it is not to be paged out
during the call. The first parameter “LPT” (Device Name) and the second
parameter “9’ (index), indicate the name of the registered device, such as
LPT9. This is used in the CreateFile() function call.

Opening the NPCP Driver
The application opens the NPCP driver by using the CreateFile()
function. The call can be implemented as follows. The first parameter
“LPT9:” must reflect the device name and index used in the
RegisterDevice() function call and will fail for any of the following reasons:
hFile = CreateFile(_T(”LPT9:”), GENERIC_WRITE |
GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);

S The port associated with the device during RegisterDevice() is in use.
S The NPCP device is already open.
S The share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.
S Access permissions are not set to GENERIC_WRITE |
GENERIC_READ. Both modes must be specified.

Closing the NPCP Driver
Using the CloseHandle() (hFile) function closes the NPCP driver. Where
hFile is the handle returned by the CreateFile() function call.
S TRUE = the device is successfully closed.
S FALSE = an attempt to close NULL HANDLE or already closed device.

Reading from the NPCP Driver
Reading of the NPCP printers is not supported since all responses from
the printer are the result of commands sent to the printer.
DeviceIoControl() functions are provided where data is to be received
from the printer.

Writing to the NPCP Driver
All Print data can be sent to the printer using the WriteFile() function.
The print data written to the driver must contain the proper printer
commands for formatting. If the function returns FALSE, the NPCP error
may be retrieved using IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. See the description on
the next page.

NPCP Driver I/O Controls
An application uses the DeviceIoControl() function to specify an printer
operation to be performed. Certain I/O controls are required to bind and
close communication sessions with the printer, and must be completed
before any other commands to the driver can execute properly.
The function returns TRUE to indicate the device successfully completed
its specified I/O control operation, otherwise it returns FALSE. The
following I/O control codes are defined:

S IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL
This cancels all printing at the printer. It flushes the printer buffers and
reinitializes the printer to its default state. No parameters are required.
S IOCTL_NPCP_BIND
This command is required before any data is sent or received by the
printer. Once the driver is opened, the application must bind the communications session with the printer before any data can be sent or received by the printer. If an error occurs during the bind, the application
may use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the current extended error
code. No parameters are required.
S IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE
This command closes the current session with the printer. This function
always returns TRUE. No parameters are required.
S IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR
This command returns the extended NPCP error code in PL/N format.
The word returned will contain the PL/N compatible error code in the
low byte and completion flags in the high byte. If the frame that returned an error was not received correctly by the printer the
FRAME_NOT_ACKED bit will be set in the high byte. This operation
always returns TRUE. An output buffer of at least 2 bytes is required.
See “NPCP Error Codes” on page 166.
S IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH
This command allows the application to poll the printer for errors while
the report is completing the print process at the printer. If an error occurs during the polling process, the operation will return FALSE and
the application can get the extended error code by using
IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR. No parameters are required.

NPCP Printer Communications
All NPCP printer communications should be based on the following flow:
1 Use CreateFile(); to open the printer driver.
2 Use IOCTL_NPCP_BIND to bind a session with the printer;
IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to check for errors on the bind to ensure success; and IOCTL_NPCP_CANCEL to cancel outstanding print jobs.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

165

Chapter 5 — Printer Support

3 Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer to free up printer buffer resources. Use IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. If
an error is reported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR
to get the error and determine the correct recovery procedure.
4 Use WriteFile(); to write data to the printer. Check for errors and that
all data were written. Use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the extended
error. If the error is critical in nature, use IOCTL_NPCP_CLOSE, followed by CloseFile(), to end the communications session. Start a new
session, beginning with step 1 to ensure proper printing. For noncritical
errors display the error and retry the operation.
5 After all data is sent to the printer, ensure that the printer continues to
print the report properly by polling the printer’s status. Use
IOCTL_NPCP_FLUSH to poll the printer’s status. If an error is reported by the IOCTL, then use IOCTL_NPCP_ERROR to get the
error and determine the correct recovery procedure.

Sample Code
See sample code in the “\700C Dev Tools\Installable Drivers\Port
Drivers\Npcp\NPCPPrint\” directory for more details on printing, printer
communications and error code handling.

NPCP Error Codes

O’Neil Printer Driver
The DTR printer communications driver is a Stream Device Driver
named ONEIL.DLL.
All applications use WIN32 API functions to access drivers. Applications
easily implement basic operations using the CreateFile(), WriteFile(),
DeviceIOControl() and CloseHandle() Win32 APIs.
The driver supports communications to 6804DM, 6804T, 6805A, 6806,
6808, 681T, PB20, and PB42 printers over a selected serial port.

DTR Driver Installation and Removal
Your application must use the RegisterDevice() function to install the
ONEIL.DDL device driver. Use “DTR” for the Device Name parameter,
“1” for the Device Driver index parameter, and any of these strings for the
last parameter:
S NULL (==0) Defaults to COM1 @ 9600
S “COM1” only COM port specified defaults to 9600
S “COM1:9600” sets to COM port and specified bit rate
S “COM1:19200” sets to COM port and specified bit rate
Use the HANDLE returned by RegisterDevice() as the parameter to
DeregisterDevice(). The correct usage of the RegisterDevice() function call
is shown below. You may use DeregisterDevice() to uninstall the driver.
Install()
{
HANDLE hDevice;
TCHAR port[6];
port[0] = TCHAR(‘C’);
port[1] = TCHAR(‘O’);
port[2] = TCHAR(‘M’);
port[3] = TCHAR(‘1’);
port[4] = TCHAR(‘:’);
port[5] = TCHAR(0);
hDevice = RegisterDevice ( (TEXT(”DTR”), 1, TEXT(”\\WINDOWS\\ONEIL.DLL”),
(DWORD)port);
}

Opening the DTR Driver
The application opens the DTR driver by using the CreateFile() function.
The call can be implemented as follows:
hFile = CreateFile(_T(”DTR1:”), GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL,
OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);

The first parameter “DTR1:” must reflect the device name and index used
in the RegisterDevice() function call.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

167

Chapter 5 — Printer Support

The function call will fail for any of the following reasons:
S Port associated with device during RegisterDevice() is currently in use.
S The DTR device is already open.
S The share mode is not set to zero. The device cannot be shared.
S Access permissions are not set to GENERIC_WRITE.

Closing the DTR Driver
Using the CloseHandle() (hFile) function closes the DTR driver. Where
hFile is the handle returned by the CreateFile() function call.
S TRUE indicates the device is successfully closed.
S FALSE indicates an attempt to close a NULL HANDLE or an already
closed device.

Writing to the DTR Driver
Use the WriteFile() function to send all print data to the printer. The data
must contain the proper formatting printer commands.

DTR Printer Communications
All DTR printer communications should be based on the following flow:
1 Use CreateFile() to open the printer driver.
2 Use WriteFile() to write your data to the printer. Check for errors and
that all data were written.
3 Use CloseHandle() to close the driver.

Scanner Support

The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer is available with imaging or laser
scanning technologies, including the following:
APS Linear Imager: (standard for 730 Computers)
— includes the EV10 Scan Engine

Reads 1D symbologies and PDF417 bar codes. Linear imaging using Vista Scanning technology reads low-contrast bar
codes, laminated bar codes, and bar codes displayed on CRT
or TRT displays. This imaging uses harmless LEDs for illumination and does not require any warning labels. Vista Scanning is more reliable than lasers as it is a completely solid state
with no moving parts or oscillating mirrors.

2D Imager: (not supported on 730 Computers)
— includes the IT4000 Scan Engine

This decodes several stacked 1D and 2D symbologies, including PDF417, Data Matrix, and MaxiCode without “painting.” It can also read 1D codes from any orientation, for example the scan beam does not need to align perpendicular to
the symbol to read it. Photography is a secondary application;
the lens in the device favors bar code reading. Photos are
640x480, 256 gray-scale.

1D Laser Scanner: (not supported on 730 Computers)
— includes the SE900, SE900HS, SE900-S6, and
SE900HS-S6 scan engines

Traditional laser scanner that decodes 1D bar codes.

PDF417 Laser Scanner: (not supported on
730 Computers)

Higher speed laser scanner that can read PDF417 labels by
“painting” the label.

EL10 Laser Scanner

An EXCELeratet bar code laser scan engine, based on the
Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) technology, that
is significantly faster, lighter, and more efficient than traditional laser scanners.

Tethered Scanners
The Intermec Tethered Scanner feature allows Automatic Data Collection
(ADC) by accepting data from the COM1 port and wedging it into the
keyboard interface. You can enable or disable this feature from the Today
screen on the 700 Color Computer.

Configuring the Tethered Scanner
Before you configure your tethered scanner, adjust its settings using the
Intermec Settings applet. Information about the settings you can configure
with this applet is described in the Intermec Computer Command Reference
Manual. The online manual is available from the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com.
1 Connect your tethered scanner to the tethered scanner port.
2 From the 700 Color Computer, tap Start > Settings > the System tab >
the Intermec Settings icon.

3 Tap Data Collection, then tap (+) to expand Dock Tethered Scanner.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 6 — Scanner Support

4 Tap (+) to expand Scanner Settings, tap Scanner model, then enter the
applicable scanner, such as “1551E” or “1553.”

5 Make sure a scanner is properly connected to your 700 Computer, tap
to check Enable scanner port, then tap File > Save Settings from the
bottom of the screen. These changes take several moments to reset.

1551E or 1553 Selected for Scanner Model
When “1551E” or “1553” is selected from the Scanner model option (see
step 4 above), and the port state is already enabled (see step 5), the process
will take several moments to reset. When 1551E or 1553 is successfully
connected during this step, the unit will emit some beeps. Here, the terminal is initializing the scanner at 9600 for the baud rate, 7 data bits, even
parity, and 2 stop bits and synchronizing the terminal’s configuration with
the attached scanner.
With “1551E” or “1553” selected, Symbologies, Symbology Options,
Hardware Trigger, and Scanner Port settings are configured from the Intermec Settings applet. See the the Intermec Computer Command Reference

Manual, available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com, for
more information about each enabled option.

ASCII Selected for Scanner Model
To send data coming into the 700 Color Computer through the COM1
port from an external input device, as keyboard data to an application on
the desktop, do the following:
1 Enter “ASCII” as the Scanner model option.
2 Tap to check Enable scanner port.
3 Tap File > Save Settings from the bottom of the screen, or tap Yes
when prompted to refresh the scanner settings.
With “ASCII” selected, Symbology Options, Hardware Trigger, and Scanner Port settings are configured from the Intermec Settings applet. See the
the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual, available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com, for more information about each
enabled option.
Note: When selecting either the 1551E or the 1553 Scanner or enabling
the scanner port for these scanners, the 700 Computer tries to communicate with the attached scanner. If the scanner is not powered, if the cable is
not connected properly, the wrong cable is used, or if the scanner firmware
is older than 2.0, and the “Failed to save one or more settings” message
appears, then this step failed.
This process can take time as the terminal is going through a group of
RS-232 settings to communicate with the scanner. After successful communicated with the scanner (about eight beeps are generated), it initializes
the scanner with the 700 Computer’s current settings. This process might
generate a series of beeps pending on the firmware version installed in the
scanner. These beeps are suppressed in firmware versions 2.08 or greater.

Troubleshooting the 1551E/1553 Tethered Scanner
Do the following to troubleshoot your 1551E/1553 Tethered Scanner:
1 Ensure the correct cable is used for the scanner on the tethered scanner
port. Note the 700 Computer cannot supply power to the scanner.
2 Perform a quick test to determine whether the connection is good.
Temporary select the scanner model as “ASCII,” then enable the scanner port state. Go to a command prompt or a notepad and scan a data
label. If a label is wedged into the command prompt or notepad, then
the connection is good.
3 If step 2 passes, reset the scanner configurations to their defaults (scan
the Reset Factory Defaults label on the next page) to prevent miscommunication, then reenable the scanner port state.
4 If step 2 fails, then the firmware installed in the tethered scanner may be
older than version 2.0. Upgrade your scanner firmware.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

179

Chapter 6 — Scanner Support

Reset Factory Defaults
Scan the EasySet software bar code label “Reset Factory Default” to restore
all of your scanner’s configurations to their factory defaults. When this
command label is scanned, reinitialize the tethered scanner (such as disable
the scanner port state, then enable it) on the 700 Computer. Otherwise,
the online configuration and scanning on the 700 Computer are not functional. In general, scan this label only to initially reset the scanner.
Do not scan EasySet command labels to change the following settings:
S Symbologies code mark

S Code 128, EAN29 Identifier

S Preamble and Postamble

S Enable/Disable symbologies

S Symbology ID transmit option
In some cases, scanning EasySet Command labels cause the current setting
on the user interface to be out of sync with the scanner settings. However,
in some cases, scanning these labels does corrupt scanned data.
The “Open COMx error: 0x00000037” message appears if the COM port
cannot open due to another application using the port. Disable that application to free up the COM1 port before you can enable the scanner. “x”
is the COM port number, such as 1, 2, or 3.

Tethered Scanner Supported Symbologies
The user interface may allow configuration of PDF417, Micro PDF417,
RSS, and Codablock bar code symbologies. However, these symbologies
are dependant on what scanner models and firmware versions are in use.
See the following table for a guideline on each supported symbology:
You can use a generic ASCII scanner with the 700 Color Computer.
Pending on the scanner, linear symbologies such as Code39, should decode correctly. However, 2D symbologies such as PDF417 may not decode correctly.

Attached RFID Readers
Note: The 700 Color Computer currently supports only the IP4 Intellitag
Portable RFID Reader, a trigger handle accessory that lets you hold your
700 Color Computer like a reader or scanner. Contact your Intermec representative for more information.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems evolved as a way to provide
all the benefits of visual scanning systems, while overcoming many of their
limitations. Radio frequency (RF) describes electromagnetic waves in the
10 kHz to 10 GHz range. Electronic identification (ID) systems transfer
data messages from an object to be identified to a data management system. RFID systems use radio frequency to transfer data between an item
being tracked and a reader/writer. It is a fast, automatic identification
technology.
More information about RFID and the IP4 Reader are in the following
Intermec publications. PDFs of these publications are available from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

Chapter 7 — Programming

Creating CAB Files
The Windows CE operating system uses a .CAB file to install an application 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:
S All application files are present.
S A partial installation is prevented.
S 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:
1 Create an .INF file with Windows CE-specific modifications (page
188).
2 Optional Create a SETUP.DLL file to provide custom control of the
installation process (page 197).
3 Use 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 201).

Creating an .INF File
An .INF file specifies information about an application for the CAB Wizard. Below are the sections of an .INF file:

[Version]
This specifies the creator of the file, version, and other relevant information.
Required? Yes
S Signature:
“signature_name”
“$Windows NT$”
S Provider:
“INF_creator”
The company name of the application, such as “Microsoft.”
S CESignature
“$Windows CE$”

Example
[Version]
Signature = “$Windows NT$”
Provider = “Intermec”
CESignature = “$Windows CE$”

188

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 7 — Programming

[CEStrings]
This specifies string substitutions for the application name and the default
installation directory.
Required? Yes
S AppName: app_name
Name of the application. Other instances of %AppName% in the .INF
file are replaced with this string value, such as RP32.
S InstallDir: default_install_dir
Default installation directory on the device. Other instances of %InstallDir% 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.
Required? No
S string_key: value
String consisting of letters, digits, or other printable characters. Enclose
value in double quotation marks ““”” if corresponding string key is used
in an item requiring double quotation marks. No string_keys is okay.

Example
[Strings]
reg_path = Software\Intermec\My Test App

[CEDevice]
Describes the platform for the targeted application. All keys are optional.
If a key is nonexistent or has no data, Windows CE does not perform any
checking except the UnsupportedPlatforms. If the UnsupportedPlatforms key
exists but no data, the previous value is not overridden.
Required? Yes
S ProcessorType :
processor_type
The value that is returned by SYSTEMINFO.dwProcessorType.For
example, the value for the ARM CPU is 2577
S UnsupportedPlatforms: platform_family_name
This lists known unsupported platform family names. If the name
specified in the [CEDevice.xxx] section is different from that in the
[CEDevice] section, both platform_family_name values are unsupported
for the microprocessor specified by xxx. That is, the list of unsupported
platform family names is appended to the previous list of unsupported
names. Application Manager will not display the application for an
unsupported platform. Also, a user will be warned during the setup
process if the .CAB file is copied to an unsupported device.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

189

Chapter 7 — Programming

Example
[CEDevice]
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1 ; pltfrm1 is unsupported
[CEDevice.SH3]
UnsupportedPlatforms = ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported

S 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.
S 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.
S 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.
S 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
The following code example shows three [CEDevice] sections: one that
gives basic information for any CPU and two that are specific to the SH3
and the MIPS microprocessors.
[CEDevice]
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1

; A “template” for all platforms
; 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.

Note: To create the two CPU-specific .CAB files for the SETUP.INF file
in the previous example, run the CAB Wizard with the “/cpu arm mips”
parameter.

Using Installation Functions in SETUP.DLL
SETUP.DLL is an optional file that enables you to perform custom operations during installation and removal of your application. The following
list shows the functions that are exported by SETUP.DLL.
Install_Init

Called before installation begins. Use this function to check the application version when reinstalling 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 application installation.

Uninstall_Init

Called before the removal process begins. Use this function to close the application, if the application 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 191) 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. Below is the command-line syntax:
cabwiz.exe “inf_file” [/dest dest_directory] [/err error_file] [/cpu cpu_type
[cpu_type]]

A batch file in  directory, with these commands, works well:
cabwiz.exe c:\appsoft\\
cd \appsoft\
“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

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, followed by multiple cpu_type values, must be the last qualifier in the command line.

Example
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

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.

Troubleshooting the CAB Wizard
To identify and avoid problems that might occur when using the CAB
Wizard, follow these guidelines:
S Use %% for a percent sign (%) character when using this character in
an .INF file string, as specified in Win32 documentation. This will not
work under the [Strings] section.
S Do not use .INF or .CAB files created for Windows CE to install applications on Windows-based desktop platforms.
S Ensure the MAKECAB.EXE and CABWIZ.DDF files, included with
Windows CE, are in the same directory as CABWIZ.EXE.
S Use the full path to call CABWIZ.EXE.
S Do not create a .CAB file with the MAKECAB.EXE file included with
Windows CE. You must use CABWIZ.EXE, which uses
MAKECAB.EXE to generate the .CAB files for Windows CE.
S 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 specification. 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
customizations, 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. If the 700 Color Computer passed all tests, Intermec is
allowed to ship the device with the Pocket PC logo. Each time the operating system is modified, Intermec must resubmit to ITL testing.
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. Intermec cannot customize the operating system in any way but a custom application 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 will bring these items back so the application 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 700 Color Management Tools
portion for more information on how to do this. Saving a copy of the registry restores most system settings 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 700 Color 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
following links. These give full instructions on how to display full screen.

FTP Server
FTP support is provided through the FTP Server application
FTPDCE.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 servicing FTP client requests the FTP Server also send a “network announcement” to notify prospective clients of server availability.
Note: You should consult the RFC959 specification for proper use of
some of these commands at the following URL:
S www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt for the text version, or
S www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/ for an html version
Do the following to send commands:
1 Start an FTP client and connect to the device FTP server.
2 Log in with “intermec” as the user name and “cr52401” - the password.
3 From the FTP client, send the command.
4 Wait for a response.

Transferring Files Over TCP/IP Networks
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server transfers files over TCP/IP networks. 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 servicing FTP client requests, the FTP Server also sends a “network announcement” to notify prospective clients of server availability.

The FTP Server supports browsing from the latest Netscape and Microsoft
web browsers. Drag-and-drop capability is available using this environment.
The FTPDCMDS subdirectory contains commands to use from the web
browser.
S Click EXITME.BIN to execute a SITE EXIT command.
S Click REBOOTME.BIN to execute SITE BOOT command.
S Use the GET command on these files to have the FTP Server execute
these commands.
S Security:
A customer configurable access control list may be installed on the
700 Color Computer. This list will allow customers to restrict access
via the FTP Server to users they wish and is in addition to default
Intermec 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 700 Color 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 700 Color 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!passwd1user2!passwd2user3
!passwd3...

Note: The user accounts and passwords are case sensitive.
Once the access control list is encrypted on the 700 Color Computer,
the FTP Server hides this file from users. Once an access control list
is installed on the 700 Color Computer, a new one is not accepted by
the FTP Server until the previous one is removed. Encrypted access
control lists are not portable between 700 Color Computers.

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. ITC_IFTP_STOP is the name of this event.

This automatically starts the FTP Server (FTPDCE.EXE) when the 700
Color Computer is powered on. This is provided with the NDISTRAY
program (the Network Driver Interface Specification tray application),
which displays the popup menu that currently allows you to load and unload the network drivers. Tap the antenna icon in the System Tray of the
Today screen (a sample antenna icon is circled below) for this pop-up menu.

The default is to start the FTP Server at boot time, unless the following
registry 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
drivers. 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 700 Color Computer without any
prior configuration.
Note: If a network driver is unloaded using the NDISTRAY popup menu,
and the FTP Server is running, the FTP Server is stopped.
On a resume, if AutoFTP is enabled and the FTP Server is running, it is
stopped and restarted. NDISTRAY uses a helper application named
RESETIFTP to implement the restart on resume feature.

To do an AutoFTP Installation Check:
1 Ensure the FTP Server is running “out-of-the-box” the first time.
2 Tap Start > Today 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. Do a warm boot and confirm
the FTP Server is not running.

3 Tap Start > Today to access the Today screen, then tap the antenna
icon in the System Tray to bring up the NDISTRAY pop-up menu.
Select AutoFTP On to enable AutoFTP, reboot, confirm it is running.

4 Unload the network driver when the FTP Server is running and confirm that it is not running any more.
5 Load the FTP Server, establish a connection, then suspend and resume.
The server should still run, but the FTP connection to the client should
be dropped.

Kernel I/O Controls
This describes the KernelIoControl() functions available to application
programmers. Most C++ applications will need to prototype the function
as the following to avoid link and compile errors.
extern “C” BOOL KernelIoControl(DWORD dwIoControlCode, LPVOID lpInBuf, DWORD
nInBufSize, LPVOID lpOutBuf, DWORD nOutBufSize, LPDWORD lpBytesReturned);

You can also see the Device Resource Kit in the Intermec Developer Library (IDL) for information about these functions. The IDL is available as
a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact
your Intermec representative for more information.

IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICE_INFO

Network Selection APIs
Network Selection APIs change the network adapter configuration programmatically. See the Communications Resource Kit in the IDL for information about these APIs. The IDL is available as a download from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec representative for more information.

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 in the NLED driver as a false LED. The vibrator is
LED 5 and identified with an CycleAdjust of –1. The vibrate option is
available in the notifications panel when the vibrator is in the system.
Regarding an applications interface to NLED.DLL, LEDs must be available for applications to use through 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

about these functions. The IDL is available as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec representative for information.
S IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT
This performs a warm-boot (page 219). See note below.
S IOCTL_HAL_COLDBOOT
Forces a cold reboot. This resets the 700 Color Computer, reloads Windows CE as if a power-up was performed, and discards the contents of
the Windows CE RAM-based object store (page 217).
S IOCTL_HAL_WARMBOOT
Performs a system warm-boot, preserving the object store (page 217).
Note: Using IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT is no longer recommended, use
either IOCTL_HAL_WARMBOOT or IOCTL_HAL_COLDBOOT.
IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT is still supported for backward-compatibility
but its use can lead to difficulties.

Remapping the Keypad
Note: Use caution when remapping the keypad. Improper remapping may
render the keypad unusable. Data within the 700 Color Computer could
also be lost, should any problems occur.
Applications have the ability to remap keys on the 700 Color Numeric
Keypad and 700 Color Alphanumeric Keypad. This will allow applications
to enable keys that would otherwise not be available, such as the [F1]
function key. Also, to disable keys that should not be available, such as the
alpha key because no alpha entry is required. Care should be exercised
when attempting to remap the keypad because improper remapping may
cause the keypad to become unusable. This can be corrected by cold booting the device which loads the default keymap again.
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 700 Color Numeric Keypad
and Alphanumeric Keypad. Keys that are to be 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:

Key Values
Key values are stored in the registry. All units ship with a default key
mapping in its registry. Applications to 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 values back into the
registry. The registry access can be done with standard Microsoft API calls,
such as RegOpenKeyEx(), RegQueryValueEx(), and RegSetValueEx().

Numeric Keypad
The following registry keys contain the plane mappings:
S The unshifted plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\Vkey

S The gold plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\VkeyGold

S The alpha plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\VkeyAlpha

Alphanumeric Keypad
The following registry keys contain the plane mappings:
S The unshifted plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\ALPHA\Vkey

S The gold plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\ALPHA\VkeyGold

S The alpha plane mapping can be found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\ALPHA\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 the “Keypad Scan Codes and
Meanings” table on the next page). The Scan Code is used at the lowest
level of the system to let the keypad driver know which physical key has
been pressed. The keypad driver takes that scan code and looks it up in a
table (a copy of the one stored in the registry) to determine which values
to pass on to the operating system.

224

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 7 — Programming

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 will have 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 as 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.
Note: Do not remap scan codes 0x01, 0x41, 0x42, 0x43, 0x44. Doing so
could make your 700 Color Computer unusable until you do a cold-boot.

Change Notification
Changing registry keys does not immediately change key mappings. To
notify the keypad driver the registry is updated, use the CreateEvent() API
to signal the “ITC_KEYBOARD_CHANGE” named event.

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 situation 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,
control volume, and allow for suspending and resuming the device. Contact Intermec Technical Support for more information.

Note: “700 Color” pertains to 740, 741, 750, 751, 760, and 761 Computers unless otherwise noted.
The contents of the Intermec Settings applet are dependent on what hardware configuration is done for each 700 Color Computer at the time of
shipment. These settings currently only appear if a scanner or an imager
option is present.
Likewise, other applets that are specifically related to the 802.11b or
802.11b/g radio module appear when a 802.11b or 802.11b/g radio module is installed in a 700 Color Computer. Applets that are specific for
Bluetooth, CDMA/1xRTT, and GSM/GPRS radio modules only appear
when each respective hardware configuration is done on the 700 Color
Computer. See Chapter 4, “Network Support,” for more information about
the radio modules or Bluetooth.
Information about using reader commands and configuration bar codes to
configure some of your settings is also in this appendix.
Note: Information about the settings you can configure with the Intermec

Wireless Network Applet
Note: See Chapter 4, “Network Support,” for information about the
802.11b or 802.11b/g radio module.

About the Wireless Network
Your wireless adapter (network interface card) connects to wireless networks of two types: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks.
S Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network and the
internet. Your 700 Color Computer establishes a wireless connection to
an access point, which links you to the rest of the network. When you
connect to a network via an access point, you are using the 802.11b or
802.11b/g infrastructure mode.
S Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more clients, 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 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:
S Authentication by both the network and the user
S Authentication is cryptographically protected
S Transmitted data
There are many schemes available for implementing these features.

Terminology
Below and on the next page are terms you may encounter as you configure
your wireless network:
S CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol)
This is Cisco’s version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco
Airnet products.

700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

235

Appendix A — Configurable Settings

S EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
802.11b or 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 to choose for your network.
S 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:
S No Installation Vector (IV) reuse protection
S Weak keys
S No protection against message replay
S No detection of message tampering
S No key updates
S WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption
With preconfigured WEP, both the client 700 Color Computer and
access point are assigned the same key, which can encrypt all data between the two devices. WEP keys also authenticate the 700 Color Computer to the access point — unless the 700 Color 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).
S 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

access the Profile Wizard for the 802.11b or 802.11b/g radio module.
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.

TTLS (EAP-Tunneled TLS)
This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS (see page 242) 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, 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.
Use “EAP-FAST” to configure the use of EAP-FAST as an authentication
protocol, select “Open,” “WPA,” or “Network EAP” as an association
mode. Note this defaults to the Network EAP.

S Detect Rogue APs:
Wireless NICs and APs 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 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.
Check this box to detect and report client behavior suspected of being
rogue APs. Once a rouge AP is detected, your 700 Series Computer no
longer associates with that AP until you perform a warm boot.
Clear this box to solve AP connection problems that result when an AP
gets put on the rogue AP list due to inadvertent failed authentications
and not because it is a real rouge.
