CHAPTER 8 CRADLE INSTALLATION Introduction A system is comprised of a family of hardware devices interconnected through a WLAN radio backbone to the retail establishment’s server(s). The hardware devices are the MC18 mobile computers, single-slot or three slot cradles, power supplies and cables. A dispenser typically refers to a piece of furniture which has mounted to it the cradles, their power supplies, and cables. Customers (retail establishments) design their own dispensers to meet their particular floor space and display requirements. The information in this chapter should help a customer to design a dispenser and to understand the installation requirements. IMPORTANT The MC18 cradles are NOT compatible with MC17 cradles and the MC17 cradles are NOT compatible with MC18 cradles. Installation of the Single-Slot Cradle Removing the Front Cover Use this procedure to remove the front cover: 1. Loosen two captive screws securing the front cover to the base. Figure 8-1 Remove Screws 2. Pull front cover away from base and then lift out of the base. 8-2 MC18 Product Reference Guide Alignment Holes Figure 8-2 Cover Removal Mounting the Cradle The charge cradle contains mounting holes in the back housing so that it can be bolted to supporting furniture. In addition, it comes with plugs and a variety of cable routing outlets. Cable outlets not used can be concealed with the plugs provided. Figure 8-3 provide the information required to design correct mounting holes for the charge cradles.

Insert bar code target cover. 4. Push target cover into front cover until it snaps into place. Figure 8-9 Replace Target Bar Code Cover Cradle Installation 8-7 System Cabling There are some general limitations that must be taken into account when designing a dispenser and ordering hardware elements of a system: • No more than six cradles can be powered off of one power supply and power cable 25-66420-01R. • No more than 12 cradles can be powered off of one power supply and “Y” power cable 25-67592-01R. • No more than six cradles can be powered off each leg of the “Y” power cable. • A power supply cable runs from the power supply to one or two cradles. • Cradle interconnection cables run between each successive cradle in the chain. • The power supply is air cooled, and as such expects some circulation of fresh air around it. Do not enclose it in a small airtight enclosure. • Power supplies must be mounted in their natural, landscape orientation. They contain fans and their vents must allow for the free flow of air. • Power supplies should be mounted either above or below dispensers and entrance heads. Mounting of power supplies to the right or left is not preferred. • When laying out furniture, cable routing should be as direct as possible. Routing should follow vertical and horizontal runs through the modules. As part of each power supply that is shipped is a set of labels numbered 1 through 12. These labels are to be used to track the number of loads on a particular supply. Each label is affixed to the cradle interconnection cable when a cradle is added to the daisy chain. When all labels are used, the supply is fully loaded. Figure 8-10 shows how the maximum number of cradles can be cabled to a power supply using power cable 25-66420-01R. Figure 8-11 shows how the maximum number of cradles can be cabled to a power supply using the “Y” power cable 25-67592-01R. Note that there are only six cradles per leg of the power supply cable, and only 12 cradles in total. Figure 8-10 Maximum Number of Charge Cradles per Power Supply 8-8 MC18 Product Reference Guide Figure 8-11 Maximum Number of Charge Cradles per Power Supply with “Y” Power Cable Cradle Installation 8-9 Installation of the Three Slot Cradle Installation of the three slot cradle include the following mounting steps: • Selecting the mounting configuration (see Mounting Configurations on page 8-9) • Selecting the charging mode (see Charging Modes on page 8-11) • Mounting the power supply unit (see Mounting the Power Supply Unit on page 8-19) • Setting the cradle(s) (see Setting and Controlling the Cradle on page 6-9) Mounting Configurations Three slot cradles can be installed in the following mounting configurations: • High Density (HD) configuration - Using HD cradles • Super High Density (SHD) configuration - Using SHD cradles • Desktop configuration - Using stand alone cradle(s) on a flat surface High Density Configuration The cradle can be installed in high density configuration so that the display of the MC18 units is facing the user. In such configuration, cradles are installed in a vertical gap of 35mm between each other. NOTE In high density configuration, the MC18 units have 10 Degrees forward-facing tilt that should be taken in consideration if furniture is planed to be placed in front of the dispenser wall. 35mm Figure 8-12 Installation in High Density Configuration 8 - 10 MC18 Product Reference Guide The installation of the dispenser wall can be design so that it tilts backward slightly in the following angles: 274 mm 301 mm 387 mm 499 mm 0° 5° 10° 10° Figure 8-13 Dispenser Wall Angles Super High Density Configuration The cradle can be installed in super high density configuration so that the display of the MC18 units is facing up.

Application Deployment 9-3 Deployment With the appropriate accessory, software, and connection, the MC18 can share information with the host device. This section provides information about installing software and files on the MC18. Download/install software using: • ActiveSync / Windows Mobile Device Center • IPL. ActiveSync Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to copy files from a host computer to the MC18. 1. Ensure that ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center is installed and that a partnership has been created, see Chapter 4, Sync with Host Computer. 2. Connect the MC18 to the host computer using the cradle, see Connecting the MC18 to a Host Computer on page 4-2 for connection information. 3. On the host computer, select Start > All Programs > ActiveSync (or Windows Mobile Device Center). 4. Select Explore (or File Management). Figure 9-1 ActiveSync Explorer 5. Double-click the folder to expand the contents of the folder. 9-4 MC18 Product Reference Guide Figure 9-2 My Pocket PC Contents 6. Use Explorer to locate the host computer directory that contains the file to download. Touch that directory in the left pane to display its contents in the right pane. 7. Drag the desired file(s) from the host computer to the desired mobile device folder. • Program Files folder: files stored in this folder are discarded after a cold boot. • Application folder: files stored in this folder are retained after a cold boot. IPL Use IPL to download files onto the MC18, to download customized flash file system partitions to the MC18 and load hex files to the flash memory of the MC18. There are two types of updates supported by the MC18: partitions and files. The file system used by the MC18 is the same as the file system used on a desktop computer. A file is a unit of data that can be accessed using a file name and a location in the file system. When a file is replaced, only the contents of the previous file are erased. The operating system must be running for a file to be updated, so the IPL cannot perform individual file updates as it is a stand-alone program that does not require the operating system to be running. A typical partition is a group of files, combined into a single “partition” that represents a specific area of storage. Examples of partitions are the flash file systems such as Platform or Application. (Using the desktop computer comparison, these partitions are roughly equivalent to a C: or D: hard disk drive.) In addition to the “hard disk” partitions, some partitions are used for single items such as the operating system, monitor, or splash screen. (Again using a desktop computer comparison, these partitions are roughly the equivalent of the BIOS or special hidden system files.) When a partition is updated, all data that was previously in its storage region is erased - i.e. it is not a merge but rather a replacement operation. Typically, the operating system is not running when partitions are updated, so IPL can perform partition updates. Partition images for selected partitions can be created by TCM. All partition images suitable for use by IPL are in hex file format for transfer by TCM from the development computer to the MC18. Upgrade requirements: • The hex files to be downloaded (on development computer) • A connection from the host computer and the MC18 (either serial or wireless) Application Deployment 9-5 • • TCM (on development computer) to download the files. Once these requirements are satisfied, the MC18 can be upgraded by invoking IPL and navigating the menus. Updating Images The MC18 contains tools that update all operating system components. All updates are distributed as packages and/or hex images. Update packages can contain either partial or complete updates for the operating system. Symbol Technologies distributes the update packages on the Support Central Web Site, http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support. Update an operating system component using one of the following: • OS Update • BootLoader • MSP OSUpdate Loader Operating system component can be downloaded to the MC18 using the Temp folder. Using the Temp Folder To initiate an update using the MC18 Temp folder: 1. Go to the Support Central web site,http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support and download the appropriate update package. 2. Connect the MC18 to a host computer using. See Connecting the MC18 to a Host Computer on page 4-2. 3. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel. 4. Select System icon. 5. Select Memory tab.

Remove the MC18 from the cradle and re-insert after approximately one minute. 9 - 14 MC18 Product Reference Guide Flash Storage In addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Windows CE mobile computers, the MC18 is also equipped with a non-volatile Flash-based storage area which can store data (partitions) that can not be corrupted by a cold boot. This Flash area is divided into two categories: Flash File System (FFS) Partitions and Non-FFS Partitions. FFS Partitions The MC18 includes two FFS partitions. These partitions appear to the MC18 as a hard drive that the OS file system can write files to and read files from. Data is retained even if power is removed. The two FFS partitions appear as two separate folders in the Windows CE file system and are as follows: • Platform: The Platform FFS partition contains Symbol-supplied programs and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). This FFS is configured to include DLLs that control system operation. Since these drivers are required for basic MC18 operation, only experienced users should modify the content of this partition. • Application: The Application FFS partition is used to store application programs needed to operate the MC18. Working with FFS Partitions Because the FFS partitions appear as folders under the Windows CE file system, they can be written to and read like any other folder. For example, an application program can write data to a file located in the Application folder just as it would to the Windows folder. However, the file in the Application folder is in non-volatile storage and is not lost on a cold boot (e.g., when power is removed for a long period of time). Standard tools such as ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center can be used to copy files to and from the FFS partitions. They appear as the “Application” and “Platform” folders to the ActiveSync explorer. This is useful when installing applications on the MC18. Applications stored in the Application folder are retained even when the MC18 is cold booted. There are two device drivers included in the Windows CE image to assist developers in configuring the MC18 following a cold boot: RegMerge and CopyFiles. RegMerge.dll RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows registry edits to be made to the Windows CE Registry. Regmerge.dll runs very early in the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain Flash File System folders during a cold boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM. Since the registry is re-created on every cold boot from the default ROM image, the RegMerge driver is necessary to make registry modifications persistent over cold boots. RegMerge is configured to look in the root of two specific folders for .reg files in the following order: \Platform \Application Regmerge continues to look for .reg files in these folders until all folders are checked. This allows folders later in the list to override folders earlier in the list. This way, it is possible to override Registry changes made by the Application Deployment 9 - 15 Platforms partitions folders. Take care when using Regmerge to make Registry changes. The DCP for MC18xxc50 contains examples of .reg files. NOTE Regmerge only merges the .reg files on cold boots. The merge process is skipped during a warm boot. Typically, do not make modifications to registry values for drivers loaded before RegMerge. However, these values may require modification during software development. Since these early loading drivers read these keys before RegMerge gets a chance to change them, the MC18 must be cold booted. The warm boot does not re-initialize the registry and the early loading driver reads the new registry values. Do not use Regmerge to modify built-in driver registry values, or merge the same Registry value to two files in the same folder, as the results are undefined. CopyFiles Windows CE expects certain files to be in the Windows folder, residing in volatile storage. Windows CE maintains the System Registry in volatile storage. CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a cold boot. Files can be copied from a non-volatile partition (Application or Platform) to the Windows or other volatile partition during a cold boot. During a cold boot CopyFiles looks for files with a .CPY extension in the root of the Platform and Application FFS partitions (Platform first and then Application). These files are text files containing the source and destination for the desired files to be copied separated by “>”. The following example from the file application.cpy is contained on the demo application partition included in the DCP for MC18xxc50. Files are copied to the Windows folder from the Flash File System using copy files (*.cpy) in the following order: \Platform \Application Example: \Application\ScanSamp2.exe>\Windows\ScanSamp2.exe This line directs CopyFiles to copy the ScanSamp2.exe application from the \Application folder to the \Windows folder. Non-FFS Partitions Non-FFS Partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on the MC18 that can be upgraded. Unlike FFS Partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating system is running. They also contain system information. Non-FFS partitions include the following: • Windows CE: The complete Windows CE operating system is stored on Flash devices. If necessary, the entire OS image may be downloaded to the MC18 using files provided by Symbol Technologies. The current OS partition on the MC18 is included as part of the TCM installation package. Any upgrades must be obtained from Symbol Technologies. This partition is mandatory for the MC18. • Splash Screen: a bitmap smaller than 16 kb (and limited to 8 bits per pixel) is displayed as the MC18 cold boots. NOTE 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is 16 bits per pixel. • IPL: This program interfaces with the host computer and allows downloading via cradle or serial cable any or all of the partitions listed above, as well as updated versions of IPL. Use caution downloading 9 - 16 MC18 Product Reference Guide updated IPL versions; incorrect downloading of an IPL causes permanent damage to the MC18. IPL is mandatory for the MC18. • Partition Table: Identifies where each partition is loaded in the MC18. Downloading Partitions to the MC18 TCM is used to specify a hex destination file for each partition and download each file to the MC18. This download requires a program loader stored on the MC18. The MC18 comes with a program loading utility, Initial Program Loader (IPL), stored in the MC18’s write-protected flash.

A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology. Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received. Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning. Byte.

Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character. boot or boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software. CAM. (Continuously Aware Mode) Mode in which the adapter is instructed to continually check for network activity. CHAP. (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) A type of authentication in which the authentication agent (typically a network server) sends the client program a random value that is used only once and an ID value. Both the sender and peer share a predefined secret. The peer concatenates the random value (or nonce), the ID and the secret and calculates a one-way hash using MD5. The hash value is sent to the authenticator, which in turn builds that same string on its side, calculates the MD5 sum itself and compares the result with the value received from the peer. If the values match, the peer is authenticated. Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message. Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology. Cold Boot. A cold boot restarts the MC18 and erases all user stored records and entries. COM port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2. Continuous Code. A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters.

They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require external light to reflect their information to the user. Mobile Computer. In this text, mobile computer refers to the MC18. It can be set up to run as a stand-alone device, or it can be set up to communicate with a network, using wireless radio technology. MSCHAP. (Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is the Microsoft version of CHAP and is an extension to RFC 1994. Like the standard version of CHAP, MS-CHAP is used for PPP authentication; in this case, authentication occurs between a PC using Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 95 and a Cisco router or access server acting as a network access server (NAS). Nominal. The exact (or ideal) intended value for a specified parameter. Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations from this value. Nominal Size.

Substrate. A foundation material on which a substance or image is placed. Symbol. A scannable unit that encodes data within the conventions of a certain symbology, usually including start/stop characters, quiet zones, data characters and check characters. Symbology. The structural rules and conventions for representing data within a particular bar code type (e.g. UPC/EAN, Code 39, PDF417, etc.). TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. TCP Glossary - 7 provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is received correctly at the other end. UDP is an alternate transport that does not guarantee delivery. It is widely used for real-time voice and video transmissions where erroneous packets are not retransmitted. IP provides the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a routable protocol, which means that all messages contain not only the address of the destination station, but the address of a destination network. This allows TCP/IP messages to be sent to multiple networks within an organization or around the world, hence its use in the worldwide Internet. Every client and server in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address, which is either permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup. TFTP. (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol that has no directory or password capability. It is the protocol used for upgrading firmware, downloading software and remote booting of diskless devices. TKIP. (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) A wireless encryption protocol that periodically changes the encryption key, making it harder to decode. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. See TCP/IP. TLS. (Transport Layer Security) TLS is a protocol that ensures privacy between communicating applications and their users on the Internet. When a server and client communicate, TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or tamper with any message. TLS is the successor to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Trivial File Transfer Protocol. See TFTP. UDP. (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. For example, UDP is used for real-time audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored, because there is no time to retransmit. If UDP is used and a reliable delivery is required, packet sequence checking and error notification must be written into the applications. Warm Boot. A warm boot restarts the MC18 by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved to flash memory is lost. WAP. (Wireless Application Protocol) A set of specifications, developed by the WAP Forum, that lets developers using Wireless Markup Language build networked applications designed for handheld wireless devices. WAP was designed to work within the constraints of these devices: a limited memory and CPU size, small, monochrome screens, low bandwidth and erratic connections. WEP. Wired-Equivalent Privacy protocol was specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard to provide a WLAN with a minimal level of security and privacy comparable to a typical wired LAN, using data encryption. WPA. Wi-Fi Protected Access is a data encryption specification for 802.11 wireless networks that replaces the weaker WEP. It improves on WEP by using dynamic keys, Extensible Authentication Protocol to secure network access, and an encryption method called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to secure data transmissions. WPA2. Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 is an enhanced version of WPA. It uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP. Glossary - 8 MC18 Product Reference Guide WLAN. Wireless local-area networks use radio waves instead of a cable to connect a user device, such as a mobile computer, to a LAN. They provide Ethernet connections over the air and operate under the 802.11 family of specifications developed by the IEEE.
