5.7.1 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator
access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehi-
cles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing
screws.
The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle is to use the MT3326 or MT3327 brackets with the
MT3324 (short arm) or MT3325 (standard arm) kit, using one of the following bases to secure the vehicle
cradle/arm assembly to the vehicle:
• VESA Plate - MT3501.
• Circular Plate - MT3502.
• Clamp Base (two sizes) - MT3505 and MT3507.
• Rail Base (two sizes) - MT3509 and MT3510.
Figure 5.17 MT3325 Standard Arm Kit with Omnii Vehicle Cradle
To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle.
Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Refer to
the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location
(Omnii Vehicle Cradles Quick Start Guide PN 8000221).
Warning: Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator
safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted cradle may
result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility obstruc-
tion, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion
strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the
vehicle manufacturer.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially
for devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact
Psion for assistance. Note also that for better protection, the equipment should
be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.

Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
5.7.2 Wiring Guidelines
Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider the following:
• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from
areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere
with the operation of the vehicle.
5.7.3 Using the Vehicle Cradle
If your Omnii is equipped with a cover, this accessory needs to be removed before in-
stalling the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps or pistol grips from the unit.
• Slide Omnii into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good
idea to pull up on Omnii to be certain that it is secure.
• To remove Omnii, press firmly on one of the knobs on either side of the cradle until it releases. You do
not need to press both knobs.
5.7.4 Maintaining the Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold Omnii firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for at least
100,000 insertion and removal cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer lock Omnii securely in the
cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion. Partial disassembly is required.
5.7.5 Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation in High Voltage Vehicles
Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle
power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water
or other liquids. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a haz-
ardous situation resulting in serious injury or death. Avoiding this hazard can be accomplished in the fol-
lowing way.
• Use the PS1300 or PS1350 pre-regulator.
• Ensure the power connector is wrapped securely with a waterproof electrical tape and installed in a
dry location on the vehicle, away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in
a sealed housing).
• Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material (see Section 5.7.5.1: “Extreme Wet
Environments” for additional details).
All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be followed for High Voltage vehi-
cles to insure safe installation and operation of the powered cradle.
5.7.5.1 Extreme Wet Environments
For extreme wet environments, or environments where it is difficult to restrict vehicle operator access to
the power connector, Psion offers a waterproof heat shrink kit (P/N 1030022). The kit contains 3 pieces of
waterproof, high shrink ratio heat shrink tubing which can be used to encapsulate the entire connector as-
sembly. If using this kit, please ensure that you order sufficient material to cover installation and service, re-
membering that heat shrink is one-time use, and must be replaced if it is removed from the connector for
any reason.
Warning: Voltages exceeding 30VDC are considered hazardous. Installation of powered
cradles in vehicles that operate above 30VDC require special consideration, as
listed below.

Powered Cradle Installation
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
150
5.7.6 Powered Cradle Installation
The powered cradle option is designed to allow Omnii to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery in-
stalled in Omnii is also recharged by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources over the
range 12V to 24V, voltages above that require the use of the preregulator (Model No. PS1350).
The Omnii vehicle cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed, or it can be retrofitted
later at an authorized Psion service depot.
The Omnii charging LED (see “Battery Charge Status LED” on page 28) indicates that external power is
available, and it also indicates the charging status of the internal battery.
5.7.7 Wiring Vehicle Power to the Cradle
An optional 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (P/N 13985-301 with motion detect or 13985-302) is
available for your powered vehicle cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) ac-
cessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 4A (less if the accessory supply is
greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the neg-
ative supply—this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The power
cradle is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.
You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the
power cradle after the key switch—that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the opera-
tor switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the
cradle before the switch.
Keep in mind that Omnii will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has
sufficient charge. If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (P/N 19440-300) must be
added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 10A
slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.
Warning: Applying a voltage greater than that specified, or reversing polarity, may result in
permanent damage to the cradle power option and will void the product warranty.
Note: When connecting P/N 13985-301 (Screen Blanking version), ensure that the screen blanking
wires (clearly labelled) and the power wires (red/black leads) are reliably secured away from
each other, or are separated with reliably secured certified insulation. A minimum 2.8mm
distance, or 0.4mm distance through insulation, is required for the separation.

Battery Charger (6-Slot) - Model ST3006
151
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
5.8 Battery Charger (6-Slot) - Model ST3006
The ST3006 is designed to charge up to six Omnii lithium-ion batteries at one time.
Figure 5.18 ST3006 Battery Charger
5.8.1 Installation
The charger can be wall mounted using the wall mount kit (MT2031) or it can be operated on a flat surface.
Install the charger in an area that is free from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants. The ambient tempera-
ture must be in the range 5°C to 39°C (41°F to 102°F). The charger will not charge batteries outside of this
temperature range. For maximum performance, it is recommended that the charger be operated at room
temperature—a temperature range between 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F).
The charger can consume up to 6 A at 120 VAC, 3A at 240 VAC. Check to ensure the mains circuit supplying
the charger is adequate for this loading (especially if several chargers are being powered from the same
circuit). After unpacking the unit:
• Visually check the charger for damage.
• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.
All charge indicators flash momentarily at power up to indicate that the charger is ready for operation.
If you choose to wall mount the charger, detailed installation instructions are included in the Omnii 6-Slot
Battery Charger ST3006 Quick Start Guide (PN 8000204) included with the charger kit. Be sure to locate
the charger in an area where there is no risk of injury to persons walking in the vicinity.
5.8.2 Operator Controls
The gang charger does not have operator controls or a power switch. There is no dedicated indicator light
to show that the charger is powered, but the charge slot LEDs will light.
Important: Keep in mind when ordering a charger, you must also order an IEC-320 C13 power
cord separately.
Important: Use IEC-320 C13 power cords approved by Psion, with the ground pin connected
to a proper earth-grounded receptacle. Check with a qualified electrician if you are
uncertain of your receptacle grounding.

Charge Indicators
152
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
5.8.3 Charge Indicators
Each battery charge slot is equipped with four LEDs to indicate the charge status of the battery. When the
Omnii batteries are inserted in the charger, the colour and behaviour of the LEDs associated with the
charge wells in use indicate the status of the charge.
5.8.4 Charging Batteries
• Install the battery with the battery contacts facing the charger. Slide the battery between the guide
rails until it lightly latches in place.
The 4-LED bar for the battery bay shows 25% charger per LED. A flashing green LED shows charging is
under way. The LED directly below the slot in which a battery is inserted lights up immediately. If the
battery temperature is outside 5°C to 39°C (41°F to 102°F), the LED flashes yellow until the temperature is
acceptable. A fully discharged battery will normally take from 3 to 4 hours to charge. At full capacity, it
turns solid green.
When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops applying power; the battery cannot be overcharged if
left in the charger slot.
5.8.5 Troubleshooting
5.8.5.1 Improper Battery Storage
Storing batteries in the gang charger for extended periods (more than a week or two) is not recommended.
Lithium-ion batteries lose capacity if they are maintained at full charge for long periods of time. See the
battery handling recommendations in “The Battery” on page 14.
5.8.5.2 Power LED Does Not Light Up
• Remove all batteries, and unplug the charger.
• Connect another device to the mains outlet to ensure there is power.
• Remove the IEC mains power cable from the charger, and check it for damage.
• Reconnect the mains cable in the charger and mains outlet.
5.8.5.3 Indicator Does Not Light When Battery Installed
• Remove the battery, and clean the contacts on the battery and the charge slot.
• Reinstall the battery, and check that it is fully seated in the slot.
• Inspect the charge slot contacts for damage (are they bent, flattened, twisted or broken).
• Try inserting a battery that you know to be working in the charger slot.
• Reconnect the mains power cable, and check that the slot indicator flashes at power up.

Required Applets
B-3
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
The Imagers applet is used to create, modify, delete, and activate imager settings. The principal uses of the
application are to decode barcodes and to capture images. This imager services application is used for
cameras and imagers to configure linear (1D), stacked linear, matrix (true 2D) and postal barcodes. A Dem-
onstration Application is provided to demonstrate how the imager works. Refer to “Demo” on page 37 for
details.
B.1 Required Applets
In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers applet must be present in the Control Panel, along with
the Imagers applet.
B.2 Presets
There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Imagers applet:
• Use a predefined preset.
• Create a custom preset based on a predefined preset.
A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the imager for a spe-
cific purpose such as barcode decoding or image capture.
Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or resume from suspend.
The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom preset can be created for
a specific user application, such as: include only specified barcodes, read only a specified number of bar-
codes or for reading unusual media.
Every preset belongs to a preset type. The following preset types are available:
• Imaging for photo capture.
• Imaging for barcode decoding.
• Symbology selection.
At any time, only one preset of each type can be designated as the user-selected active preset.
B.2.1 Predefined Presets
Predefined presets are built into the imaging software and cannot be changed. The predefined presets
allow you to use the imager to perform specified tasks without having to understand and set numerous var-
iables. In almost all cases these predefined presets are sufficient.
B.2.2 Barcode Predefined Presets (Barcoding Menu)
These presets encompass the majority of the most popular barcodes and their subtypes. The barcode de-
coding symbology predefined presets define which barcodes can be decoded. The barcode decoding
camera predefined presets determine how the barcode images are captured.
Note: The Imagers icon is only displayed when the appropriate imager is installed in your Omnii. If
there is an imager installed but this icon is not present, additional software (ICS) may need
to be installed.
To enable a newly-installed imager, press and hold down the [FN] key and the
[ENTER/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of three seconds.
Important: It is strongly recommended that a predefined preset is used whenever
possible. Each predefined preset contains a coherent group of settings
that are known to work together in the intended environment. In
almost all situations, at least one of the predefined presets results in
a satisfactory outcome.

Default
This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting (about 300 Lux).
Low Light
This preset is designed for very dark conditions such as inside a warehouse where the lights are kept low, or
inside an unlit truck. This preset increases either the exposure time or the gain.
Low Power
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to conserve the battery power on the hand-held.
Glossy Surface
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to reduce reflection. This preset is used to read barcodes
that are behind glass, or inside the plastic window of an envelope.
B.2.3 Image Capture Predefined Presets (Imaging Menu)

C.1 Barcode Settings
The Scanners icon in the Control Panel provides dialog boxes in which you can tailor barcode scanner con-
figurations and choose the barcodes your scanner will recognize.
The parameters are preset with the default settings of the decoded scanner installed in the unit. For a
listing of available scanners and their specifications, please refer to Chapter E: “Omnii Specifications”.
C.1.1 Scanner Options
The drop-down menu to the right of the Scanner option allows you to choose configurations for one of the
following scanner types, depending on what is installed in/on your hand-held: Decoded (internal), Decoded
(HHP), Decoded (Intermec ISCP, and Non-decoded Scanners.
The symbologies listed change to reflect the scanner you choose and the barcodes it supports. Always
defer to your barcode scanner’s programming manual when in doubt about the availability or settings for
any parameter.
Keep in mind that some barcode types are only available when an internal imaging scanner is installed. All
internal scanners can be configured using these dialog boxes.
C.1.2 Restoring Default Settings
If you want to restore the factory defaults after making changes, the defaults can be applied to a selected
parameter, sub-tree of parameters, or all scanner parameters.
• Press and hold on a symbology (e.g., Code 128) to display a pop up a menu.
Important: To enable a newly-installed scanner, press and hold down the [FN] key and the
[ENTER/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of three seconds.
For information on configuring the Options, Translations, and Ports settings, see
“Scanners” on page 98.
Note: Your Omnii comes preconfigured from the factory for internal scanner types. The type of
scanner installed can be determined from the System icon in the Control Panel, under the
System Properties tab.
Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable (set to ‘on’) only those
codes that are required by the application.

C.2.1 Options
Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for Dot Time (msec) determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on
before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box
is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec, 200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables
the target dot.
Laser On Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the scan button or
trigger is pressed.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 5 and 99.
The value is measured in tenths of seconds.
C.2.2 Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
Scan Mode
You can set the method of scanning by setting this parameter to Scan beam only, Aim with Scan: 1 trigger
pull, Aim with Scan: 2 trigger pulls, Aim with Scan on trigger release, and Continuous Scan Mode. Default is
Scan beam only.
Aim Duration
This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser begins
sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value
from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming-dot.
Minimum Cancel Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the
scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount of time to complete its
current decode before the scan is cancelled when you quickly trigger on/off.
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power mode options:
Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or serial communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger pull or serial
communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable for battery powered applica-
tions, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to scan a barcode.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a successful decode. The
scanner wakes from low power mode when a barcode is scanned—a successful decode restores normal
flashing.
This is only used if the unit’s Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On. If the unit is used in a fixed
mount this parameter might be used, but not if the unit is used as a hand-held.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30
sec., 1 min., 2 min. or 3 min.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter barcodes.
Note: Some options are available only for specific scanners. Refer to the option names in this sec-
tion for scanner model identification.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and Omnii is
mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.

Linear Security Level
This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your barcode quality. There are four
levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels
should be selected for decreasing levels of barcode quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s
decode speed decreases.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 4.
Linear security level 1 specifies that the following code types must be successfully read twice before being
decoded:
Linear security level 2 specifies that all types of codes must be successfully read twice before being de-
coded.
Linear security level 3 specifies that code types other than the following must be successfully read twice
before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times:
Linear security level 4 requires that all code types be successfully read three times before being decoded.
Bi-Direction Redundancy
When this parameter is enabled, a barcode must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and re-
verse) before being decoded.
C.2.3 Decoded (Internal) Data Options
Transmit Code ID Char
A code ID character identifies the scanned barcode type. In addition to any single character prefix already
selected, the code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a transmit code:
None, AIM or Symbol.
Scan Data Format
This parameter allows you to change the scan data transmission format.
Double-tapping on Scan Data Format displays the following options from which you can choose a data
format: data (as-is), data [S1], data [S2], data [S1][S2], [P] data, [P] data [S1], [P] data [S2] and
[P] data [S1][S2].
Prefix [P], Suffix [S1] and Suffix [S2]
A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. When you double-
tap on these parameters, dialog boxes are displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 255.

Delete Char Set ECIs
Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to delete any escape sequences representing Character
Set ECIs (Extended Channel Interpretations [also known as GLIs]) from its buffer before transmission.
When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417 barcodes con-
taining Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled.
ECI Decoder
Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpretations (ECIs)
supported by the scanner. This parameter has no effect on symbols that were not encoded using ECIs.
If this parameter is set to off and a symbol that was encoded using an ECI escape is scanned, the scanner
transmits the ECI escape followed by the uninterpreted data.
The barcode symbologies for the scanner are listed in Table C.1.

The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the
scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount of time to complete its
current decode before the scan is cancelled when you quickly trigger on/off.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a successful decode. The
scanner wakes from low power mode when a barcode is scanned—a successful decode restores normal
flashing.

1 min, 2 min, or 3 min.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to Enabled allows decoding of parameter barcodes.
Same Read Validate
The data is only transmitted after repeated reads give the same result. The value assigned at this parame-
ter determines the number of reads required, from 0 to 10 times.
Same Read Timeout
Prevents the same barcode from being read more than once. The value assigned determines after what
time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec.
Diff Read Timeout
Prevents unwanted reading of other barcodes on the same label. The value assigned determines after what
time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec.
Add AIM ID Prefix
The AIM ID (Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility) is an international barcode identifier.
When this parameter is enabled, the AIM ID is inserted at the beginning of the decoded barcode.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and the unit
is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.

Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains
on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog
box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 3000. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Short Code
When enabled, this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 barcodes (2 characters). When disabled,
these short barcodes are rejected.
Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the hand-held must decode more
potential barcodes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose barcodes with 4 or more charac-
ters.
Verify
The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after
the initial decode, prior to a barcode being accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes
to decode a barcode but also improve the reliability of the decoded barcode.
Security
This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge barcodes (Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN).
Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the
barcode. The default value of 30 is generally a good compromise setting.
The barcode symbologies for the scanner are listed in Table C.3.

F.1 Wireless WAN
The Omnii is available with one of the following Wireless WAN (WWAN) radio options: the MC75i
GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Cinterion PH8-P GSM/GPRS/EDGE. An Omnii Hand-Held Computer equipped with a
GSM/GPRS radio has wide area networking capabilities. With either of these radios and a SIM card, you can
wirelessly transfer data, and you use the Omnii voice option to place phone calls.
F.1 .1 Ta s k b a r I c o n s
Wireless WAN icons in the taskbar indicate the status of your wide area network connection. Note that
these icons are only visible when a GSM/GPRS radio is installed in the computer, and the interface
is enabled.
The following taskbar icons are used:
•G - GSM/GPRS
•E - GSM/EDGE
User interaction is required (e.g. the user is required to enter a PIN).
A non-recoverable (fatal) error has occurred.
The modem status is unknown or the modem is not connected to any network (the signal strength is 0%).
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 1% and 20%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 21% and 40%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 41% and 60%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 61% and 80%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 81% and 100%.
Once the modem detects that a packet data service is available, a letter is added to the signal strength icon
indicating the kind of packet data service. Keep in mind that the signal strength icon is displayed without a
letter if packet data service is not available, or if it is available but not yet initialized.
For example:
The modem has found a network, the signal strength is between 41% and 60%, and GSM/GPRS packet
service is available.
The signal strength icon is replaced by a connection indicator icon when a packet data connection is
started:
A GPRS packet data connection is active.
In addition to the signal strength or connection indicator a second icon may be shown.
A new SMS (Short Message Service) message has arrived.
The dialer icon is displayed when the Voice option is available (SIM card and GPRS radio are installed).
When you have an active call, this icon flashes yellow, and then green.
F.1.2 Establishing a Connection
To display the main Wireless WAN dialog box:
• Double-tap on the Wireless WAN icon in the taskbar.
If the icon is not visible in the taskbar, the radio interface has been shut down or the modem has been re-
moved:
•In the Control Panel, choose the Wireless WAN icon.

F.1.2.2 Shutting Down the Wireless WAN User Interface
While it is not usual to shut down the GSM/GPRS user interface, you can accomplish this by tapping on the
File menu and choosing the Exit command at the bottom of the main Wireless WAN dialog box.
F.1.3 Advanced Information
In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your computer, setup is automatic. Follow
the steps outlined under the heading “Establishing a Connection” on page F-3 to make a connection. The in-
formation in this section is for advanced setup purposes.
F.1.3.1 Entering a PIN Number
If a PIN is required, a PIN entry dialog box is displayed.
• Type your PIN, and press [ENTER].
Once the correct PIN or PUK is entered or if none was required, the modem is instructed to perform a GSM
network registration followed by a GPRS attach. The main Wireless WAN dialog box reflects the progress of
the initialization.
• Searching for modem.
• Initializing modem.
•SIM is ready.
• Searching for network.
•Registered on network.
• Searching for GPRS.
• Ready to connect.
If the modem loses the connection to the GSM network, the following states are repeated: Searching for
network, Registered on network, Searching for packet data, and Ready to connect.
F.1 . 3. 2 E r r o r S t a t e s
The following temporary error states (i.e., these states may disappear without interaction) may be dis-
played:
• Emergency calls only.
The modem has found a network but is not allowed to register (e.g. no roaming agreement between
networks). The modem keeps searching for another network.
• No network found.
A network is not currently available. The modem continues searching for a network.
• Packet data not available.
The current network does not support a packet data service.
• Packet data not allowed.
The modem is not allowed to use the packet data service on the current network (e.g. no GPRS
roaming agreement between network; a roaming agreement for voice may still be in place). It is also
possible that you do not have a subscription for GPRS at all.
The remaining error states are permanent:
• SIM is missing.
The SIM card is missing. After the SIM has been inserted a warm boot may be required.
• SIM failure.
The SIM card is permanently disabled (e.g. because the wrong PUK has been entered too many times).
A new SIM is needed.
• Modem failure.
Note: Once you’ve shut down the user interface, you can only enable the radio by opening the Con-
trol Panel and tapping on the Wireless WAN icon to display the Wireless WAN dialog box.
Note: If you exceed the number of allowable attempts, a PUK entry window is brought to the fore-
ground. You’ll need to enter a new PIN number.

Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Use Virtual Serial Port
If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the virtual serial port
of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly. This checkbox should only be checked if
certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network) clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The
default setting is disabled (unchecked).
Enable Automatic Configuration
In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is required. This is
true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the same device. The connection pa-
rameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is detected (this may require a warm boot). The
connection parameters are retrieved from a database.
Manual configuration should be necessary only if:
• One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the database.
(The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.)
• An operator has assigned individual GPRS user names and passwords.
• A very large site has its own APN. Such connections always have to be configured manually.
• A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be configured manually.
• An operator may use a different APN for certain groups of customers. Since the automatic configura-
tion can configure only one APN per operator such connections have to be configured manually.
Profiles
In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such as APN, user
name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a ‘profile’. Every profile is identified by an ar-
bitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special in that it is always present and can neither be
edited nor deleted. The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database. The home network (the
network that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While there can be many configured profiles,
only one profile can be active at any time.
If connection profiles are configured manually, the Enable automatic configuration checkbox should nor-
mally be unchecked.
In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic configuration. If
multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being from a different operator and some
or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically
pick the correct manually configured profile for each SIM card. For this to work, each profile must be config-
ured while the corresponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least
Searching for network).
The Select profile: drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects to which profile a subsequent
action applies. A profile named Default is always present and contains the current parameters from the da-
tabase. The following actions are available:
Show
The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap the stylus on this button. For the
Default profile, the publicly known password is shown—otherwise, the password is hidden.
Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than the
Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected to open and
close connections.
If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes the
GPRS connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try to re-establish
the connection.
Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port.

The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the name cannot be
Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a unique name is filled in the corre-
sponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a secret password and unauthorized access to the
device is a concern even after the SIM PIN has been entered, the password should not be entered in the
New Data Profile dialog box and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this
case, you will be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button in
the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected). If Force PAP authentication (Password Authentication Proto-
col) is enabled, a simple authentication protocol is used to authenticate a user to a remote access server or
Internet Service Provider.

DNS and WINS resolvers.
F.1.4.2 Security Configuration
The Security Configuration dialog box is accessed through the Tools menu. The Security Configuration
dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN. You will need the current PIN to make any of
these changes. The PIN must be enabled in order to be changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry
field is greyed out.)
The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By default, this check-
box is unchecked. While this option remains unchecked, any PIN entered on startup or through the Security
Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to the modem is stored in memory for as long as the
device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is then used without further user interaction whenever the modem
requires a PIN (such as resume after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically
entered in the Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up.
If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox should be checked.
In this case, the PIN is not stored; whenever a PIN is required, you will be prompted to enter an appropriate
value.
F.1.4.3 Network Configuration
In the main Wireless WAN window:
•Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network.

By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed networks (allowed
networks are the home network and all other networks with which the home network has a roaming agree-
ment). You may find there are some situations in which you want to override this default behaviour. For ex-
ample, you may want to disable roaming if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not
available but a foreign roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does
not have GPRS roaming agreements. In this case, you’ll need to manually select the network which you
know to support GPRS roaming.
Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable automatic network
select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is disabled, you must select a network
manually.
Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for available networks is a
lengthy operation—a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For every network that is found, the
network name, country, status and numeric network identifier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by
the Mobile Network Code) is displayed.
F.1.4.4 Driver Mode Configuration
By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked). The driver must be
disabled in order to use the modem for anything other than GPRS (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or in order to man-
ually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.). If the Enable driver
checkbox is not checked, the driver is shut down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box is
chosen.
If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver checkbox is checked, the
Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is closed using the OK button.
Since all currently supported GSM modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port detec-
tion checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a serial port can be selected man-
ually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used with an internal GSM modem that was not
Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have roaming
agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘Available’ status, it does not necessarily
follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement covers GPRS.
A status of ‘Forbidden’ indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a network
that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN dialog box
changes to ‘Emergency calls only’, ‘No network found’, ‘GPRS not available’ or ‘GPRS not
allowed’.
Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can be displayed.

modem is unchecked, no power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded (neither the serial port
driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is checked, power is applied to the modem and the
drivers are loaded when the computer is turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the computer
enters suspend mode.
Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Region and Language menu in Con-
trol Panel. For a new date or time format to take effect the Inbox has to be closed and re-

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a standard for protecting data through encryption. AES sup-
ports key sizes of 128 bits, 192 bits and 256 bits and will serve as a replacement for the Data Encryption
Standard (DES), which has a key size of 56 bits. In addition to the increased security that comes with
larger key sizes, the AES algorithm is a symmetrical block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and
decrypt (decipher) information.
•Authentication: 802.11 supports several subtypes of network authentication services: Open, Shared,
WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The
station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management
frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame
that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key
over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is required. For wireless net-
works without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports
the use of a preshared key. For wireless networks with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensible Authentica-
tion Protocol (EAP) and RADIUS is supported.
•Network Key: This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or
26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the access point.
To assign a Network key, highlight The key is provided automatically, and uncheck the checkbox to

on your system. The items in this drop-down menu will vary depending on your network setup. Keep in
mind also that some authentication protocols require that you select a Certificate. By selecting the
Properties button, you will be able to select a Certificate. “Certificates” on page 63 provides a website
that outlines how to create certificates for your network.
•Saving and exiting the radio setup: Once you’ve completed the configuration, press [ENTER], or tap
on OK.
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a preferred network. The
radio will search for the SSID and compare the WEP and authentication information you specified. If
there is a match between the hand-held settings and the access point settings, the hand-held will com-
municate on the network through the access point.
G.2 Assigning An IP Address
If your network is not using a DHCP server, you will need to assign an IP address. Refer to “IP Address” on
page 126 for details about assigning an IP address.
G.2.1 Name Server
Refer to “Name Server” on page 128 for details about this option.
