• Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of
view. The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a bar
code.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is
in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to
decode only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing
or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).
Laser Scanner
The MC32N0 with laser scanner has the following features:
•Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.
•Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
RS507 Hands-Free Imager
The RS507 Hands-free Imager is a wearable bar code scan solution for both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies.
The scanner supports Simple Serial Interface (SSI) andBluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) connection to the
device where the scanner emulates a keyboard.

See to the RS507 Hands-free Imager Product Reference Guide for more information.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode where a few quick trial efforts master it. However,
consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
•Range
•Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances
from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents
decodes. Move the scanner closer and farther away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned.
NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge.

•Angle
•Scan angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the
scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But do not scan at too
sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful
decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
•Hold the device farther away for larger symbols.
•Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Bar Code Capture with Imager
To capture bar code data:
1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the top of the device at a bar code.

The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
4. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the cross-hairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used
for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
The Scan LEDs light green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.
Note that when the device is in Pick List Mode, the device does not decode the bar code until the center of the
crosshair touches the bar code.
NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and device configuration. An application may use
different scanning procedures from those described.

Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the MC32N0 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before
using the MC32N0 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes
known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the MC32N0 must both be properly configured to enable this
communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius
servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & networks
settings configure the MC32N0 to match the security scheme.
The MC32N0 supports the following WLAN security options:
•Open
•Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
•Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 Personal (PSK)
•Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
•LEAP
•FAST - with Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2 (MSCHAPv2) and Generic
Token Card (GTC) authentication.
•Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) - with MSCHAPV2 and GTC authentication.
•Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other
servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or
other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering
rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy
provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies,
and proxy configuration is an essential part of doing that. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring
that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of
security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band
(802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 meters (32.8 feet) )
communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other
Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with
Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work.
There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries
during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
•Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or pre-defined
channel mask.
•Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
•Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
•Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH
coexistence allows Enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5
mW and the expected range is 10 meters (32.8 ft.). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain
due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This
allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security
occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The
Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to authenticate devices, and if needed,
encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth
while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and
create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being
pairedgenerates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds
with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of
Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to
create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to
authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the
Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b
operation is required.

Recommendations are:
•Perform pairing in a secure environment
•Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
•Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The MC32N0 supports the following Bluetooth services:
•Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Use for device discovery and authentication.
•Service Discovery Access Protocol (SDP) - Handles the search for known and specific services as well as
general services.
•Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Sets up a virtual serial port and connects two Bluetooth enabled devices. For
example, connecting the MC32N0 to a printer.
•Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and
remote monitoring devices to connect to the MC32N0.
•Dial-up Networking (DUN) - Allows the MC32N0 to access the Internet and other dial-up services using a
Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
•Personal Area Network (PAN) - Allow the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol on Layer 3
protocols for transport over a Bluetooth link.
•General Object Exchange Profile (GOEP) - Provides a basis for other data profiles. Based on OBEX and
sometimes referred to as such.
•Headset Profile (HSP) - Allows a hands-free device, such as a Bluetooth headset, to place and receive calls
on the MC32N0.
Bluetooth Power States
The Bluetooth radio is off by default.
• Suspend - When the MC32N0 goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.
• Airplane Mode - When the MC32N0 is placed in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio turns off. When Airplane
mode is disabled, the Bluetooth radio returns to the prior state. When in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio
can be turned back on if desired.
Bluetooth Radio Power
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the
radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the device. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange
information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
