8 Using Security Features The widespread use of Pocket PCs has significantly increased employee productivity. However, non-secured or inadequately secured Pocket PCs are creating network security issues for the corporate workplace when they connect to a secure network. Valuable information is bypassing network security and being stored on inadequately secured Pocket PCs. The ecom ProtectTools security features provide on-device security protection so there is less risk of losing sensitive information on your Pocket PC. 8.1 Using ecom ProtectTools ecom ProtectTools helps protect your Pocket PC by providing authentication and encryption of email, calendar, contacts, notes, tasks, and/or all files stored in the My Documents folder. It can also be used to encrypt data stored on expansion cards. When you enable ecom ProtectTools, you have the option of enrolling a fingerprint or entering a PIN and/or password to access the Pocket PC. If you are unable to successfully swipe your fingerprint or you forget your PIN or password, you can access the device with a backup question and answer. CAUTION: ecom ProtectTools helps protect your Pocket PC and the data stored on it. If you are unable to access your device with any of the above methods, there is no way to unlock your device. You have to restore your device to factory settings, resulting in the loss of all data on your i.roc x20 Pocket PC, including data stored in i.roc x20 File Store. It is recommended that you remember your PIN/password and question/answer.
Encrypting/Decrypting Data If your i.roc x20 Pocket PC has been off for longer than the time you selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the device on, you are prompted to authenticate using your fingerprint, PIN, and/or password. After successful authentication, your data is decrypted. This may take a few moments depending on the amount of data you chose to have encrypted. However, encryption runs in the background, and you can perform other tasks on your i.roc x20 Pocket PC during this time. You can monitor the decryption process in two ways:  If you selected Display encryption status on the Encryption Settings screen during setup, the ecom ProtectTools window displays the decryption status.  If you choose not to display this status, the encryption/decryption process proceeds in the background, allowing you to use your Pocket PC for other purposes.  In either case, a blue lock icon appears in the Taskbar at the bottom of the Today screen during decryption. When the icon disappears, decryption is complete. Typically the Pocket PC responds more slowly during the encryption/decryption process.
You must authenticate yourself and wait for the decryption process to complete before synchronizing using Microsoft ActiveSync. If decryption is not complete before synchronization begins, ActiveSync may not be initiated. To correct the problem, disconnect and reconnect the device after decryption is complete. If you enable Server Synchronization on ActiveSync, it is recommended that you do not select a Mobile Schedule to automatically initiate synchronization. Since authentication and decryption are necessary when the Pocket PC is turned on, automatic synchronization does not work properly when ecom ProtectTools is enabled. The same problem may also arise when using other server-based synchronization products.
Changing Your ecom ProtectTools Settings If you want to change any of your security information, you can do so easily. Tap the yellow lock icon in the Taskbar at the bottom of the Today screen. Five options are displayed:  Lock Device  Logoff  Change Passwords  Manage Encrypted Folders  Manage Security Settings Lock Device Selecting this option allows you to manually lock your Pocket PC, requiring authentication to access the device. Data and files are not encrypted.
Logoff Selecting this option allows you to manually log off your Pocket PC, requiring authentication to access the device. Data and files are encrypted. Change Passwords To change your fingerprint, PIN or Password: 1. Tap Change Passwords. 2. Swipe your finger or enter your current PIN or password to authenticate yourself. 3. Select the information you want to change (Fingerprint, PIN/password or Question/Answer pair), then tap the Change button. 4. Follow the onscreen instructions to make the change. Manage Encrypted Folders By default, all data in the My Documents folder is encrypted. Selecting Manage Encrypted Folders allows you to choose other folders to store encrypted data.

Term Definition 802.11 standard An approved standard specification of radio technology from the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) used for wireless local area networks (WLANs). Device-to-computer or ad-hoc A mode that does not use access points. It provides independent peer-to-peer connectivity in a wireless LAN. Domain Name System (DNS) The way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP addresses. It is an easy to remember name for an Internet address. Every website has its own specific IP address on the Internet. (Continued)
(Continued) Term Definition Encryption An alphanumeric (letters and/or numbers) conversion process of data primarily used for protection against any unauthorized person(s). Hotspots Public or private areas where you can access Wi-Fi service. These wireless connections can be located, for example, at a library, cyber cafe, hotel, airport lounge, or convention center. This service can be free or sometimes requires a fee. Infrastructure Internet Protocol (IP) Address Media Access Control (MAC) Address This connection mode uses wireless access points to connect to networks. A 128-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet. For example, when you request an HTML page or send e-mail, the Internet Protocol part of TCP/IP includes your IP address in the message. In this example, this information identifies your computer as the sender and/or receiver of information. A computer’s unique hardware number in a network, which also can provide security for wireless networks. When a network uses a MAC table, only the 802.11 radios (wireless devices) that have had their MAC addresses added to that network’s MAC table can access the network. (Continued)
Term Definition Security Set Identifier (SSID) A sequence of 32 characters uniquely defining (naming) a WLAN. Basically, each set of wireless devices communicating with each other is called a basic service set (BSS). Several BSSs can be joined to form one logical WLAN, called an extended service set (ESS). An SSID is the 1-32 alphanumeric, case-sensitive name given to each ESS. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) The Wi-Fi encryption method that protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a setup password (for personal use) or by verifying network users through a server (for enterprise use). Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) A way of managing the association of workstation names and locations with IP addresses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Basic wireless security provided by Wi-Fi. This security uses an encryption key that automatically encrypts outgoing wireless data. On the receiving side, the same encryption key enables the computer to automatically decrypt the information so it can be read. Wireless Access Point A wireless LAN transceiver or "base station" that can connect a wired LAN to one or many wireless devices. In addition, access points can also bridge to each other. Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) A certification for wireless LAN products based on the IEEE 802.11 standard.

It also contains three buttons: one for read the configuration settings of the scanner device, one for write the configuration settings of the scanner device and one to reset the configuration to the default factory settings. After a read or a reset operation, the controls from every page are updated to the corresponding values. The first page refers to the operation mode of the device and the other options linked to this operation mode:
In the combo box, you can specify the operation mode in which the device should work. There are three possibilities: Read Write Buffered read (for future extension) If you select read operation mode, there are also two possibilities for configuring the device depending whether you check SNR option or
not. With this option checked, the device will read only the serial number of a transponder coming inside scanner’s antenna range. If this option is not checked, the user is able to specify the start block number and the number of blocks to be read. In write operation mode start address and number of blocks have the same meaning like in read operation mode with SNR not checked. Data that will be written to a transponder can be specified in the text box below the “data to write” label. The block size defines the size of a block from a transponder. The second page specifies some of the options of the scanner device:
If AFI is activated, you can specify the AFI value through the numeric up-down control. In AFI mode, only those transponders are read or written to which AFI match the defined AFI. If singleshot check box is checked the response will be in the single shot, otherwise we will have a permanent output. If the preload check box is checked, in case of a write command, data is written to the next transponder, otherwise, data is written to the transponder currently within antenna range. If SNR checkbox is checked it means that serial number is transmitted in telegram, otherwise serial number is not transmitted in telegram. If anticollision check box is checked, it means that the anti-collision is activated otherwise is deactivated. If report mode check box is checked, the device works in report mode, otherwise it works in online mode.
The third page referrers to the transponders type that are supported by a scanner device: The fourth page referrers to the switching and trigger mode types: This page is for internal purpose only. If trigger check box is checked, the scanner will read a transponder only if trigger condition is set, otherwise it reads always. If trigger is set, you can select one of the four modes of trigger from the combo box below. You can also specify the trigger period from the corresponding numeric up-down control.
If switching output check box is set, it means that switching output is switched automatically, otherwise switching output is not switched. If switching output is set, you can select one of the four modes of switching output from the combo box below. You can also specify the switching output period from the corresponding numeric up-down control. 12.4 Software There will be a “Software” menu for all keyboard emulator topics.
