How to Configure the Computer
You can configure many parameters on the computer such as the bar
code symbologies it decodes or the network settings. The values you
set for these parameters determine how the computer operates.
There are several ways to configure the computer:
• Directly on the computer. You can use Intermec Settings directly
on the computer to change only the settings on that computer. For
more information, see the next section, “Use Intermec Settings
on the Computer.”
• Remotely using Intermec SmartSystems. When you use
SmartSystems, you can remotely configure all of your 70 Series
mobile computers as well as other SmartSystems-enabled Intermec
computers and peripherals. For more information, see “Use
Intermec Settings Remotely with SmartSystems” on page 82.
• You can use a third-party device management product that
supports the computer and Intermec Settings, such as Soti
MobiControl or Wavelink Avalanche. For more information, visit
the Device Management page on the Intermec website.
You can also configure the computer with configuration bundles that
you create using SmartSystems Foundation. For more information,
see the SmartSystems Foundation Online Help.
Use Intermec Settings on the Computer
Use Intermec Settings to configure parameters for Intermec
applications on the computer as well as some device-specific
parameters like volume. You can configure parameters for important
functions like data collection and communications.
