1 Using the Computer This chapter introduces the CK60 Mobile Computer, developed by Intermec Technologies Corporation to enhance wireless connectivity needs and contains hardware and software configuration information to assist you in making the most out of your CK60. Note: Desktop and applet icons are shown to the left. Any place that Start is mentioned, tap the following Windows icon in the bottom, left corner of your CK60 desktop.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Introducing the CK60 Mobile Computer The Intermec CK60 Mobile Computer is an ergonomically designed handheld computer built on the Microsoftr Windowsr CE operating system. It is a lightweight, easy-to-use, reliable computer that runs client/ server applications, terminal emulation applications, as well as browserbased applications.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Learning Software Build Versions The Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased when a cold-boot is performed. It may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer 3 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back. 4 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the unit. Press this reset button with your stylus. Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button. You may damage the reset button. Clean Boot Process If performing either reset method fails to restore system operation, it may be necessary to perform a clean-boot.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer When you unpack the CK60, the Code39, UPC/EAN, and PDF417 (with imager) bar code symbologies are enabled. If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use the Intermec Settings applet to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner. For help on using the Intermec Settings applet, see “Using the Intermec Settings Applet” on page 10.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Supported Devices The CK60 should connect the following scanner models: 1551, 1553, 1555; ScanPlus 1800SR, 1800ST, 1800VT; Scan Image 1470; SF51; and SF61. There are a number of different scan engines covered by these models, including RFID and XLR scan engines. Model 1555 and Scan Image 1470 are supported as input devices only; configuration of these models are accomplished by scanning labels.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries. Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme temperatures, input devices, and your usage. For example, if you use a tethered scanner every day, you need to replace your battery more often than someone who uses an internal scanner.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Maximizing Battery Life When You Want To: Do This to Save Battery Power: Operate the CK60 and the Low Battery status icon appears or the Battery light comes on. 1 Press the power switch to turn off the CK60. 2 Remove the battery and insert another fully charged battery as quickly as possible or you may lose state.

This application can do what is desired prior to launching the Microsoft Shell. This feature allows end customers to make their own application the shell of the system.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer When the AutoCab.exe process completes, RunAutoRun then checks for the existence of AutoRun.exe and executes this program from the first media found. This order is the same as what is used by AutoExec. AutoRun is reserved for customer use to configure application launch sequences. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab, as well as customer programs added to the autouser.dat file and is described on the next page.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer SIGNAL Enables the specified named event and is immediately signaled. Useful for notifying other components of the current status.

This file is created by .cab files that want a warm reset after installation. Default is 0 (do not check for flag). -File= Specifies the .cab files to extract. Note that the specified files need not end with the .cab extension. -Force Forces the specified .
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer 3 Write commands for AutoRun.dat with these script commands: Script Command Description EXEC Launches a specified program and waits up to 10 minutes for it to complete. CALL Processes a specified file of commands, returns. When you use the CALL command, the execution of the current file pauses while a new file that follows the same set of commands executes. Once the new file completes executing, AutoRun.exe continues processing the current file.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Configuring the Computer With Intermec Settings Use the Intermec Settings applet to configure the CK60 and view system information.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Configuring the Computer in a UDP Plus Network You can use the host computer to configure a CK60 in your wireless or Ethernet network. To send and receive configuration data or files, you need to write a host application that can communicate with an Intermec Application Server (formerly Gateway or DCS 30X). For help, see the appropriate Gateway or DCS 30X User’s Manual.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Implementation The CK60 keypad virtual key mappings are controlled by registry entries read each time the keypad driver loads. You can “remap” the keypad after it has loaded by modifying the registry entries and then sending a signal to the keypad driver to re-read the registry mappings. The keypad driver uses the scan code values returned by the keypad device as an index into these registry entries to determine the virtual key value sent to the system.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer 3 Modify the shift plane mapping Write the desired virtual key value to the scan code offset of the desired shift plane. You can use the scan code diagrams on the next page to find the scan code for the keys to remap. Note that scan code 00h is the left scan trigger, scan code 10h is the right scan trigger, and all values are hexadecimal. 4 Save the modified shift plane mappings Write the registry values back.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Configuring the SF51 Cordless Scanner The following information pertains to configuring the SF51 Cordless Scanner to work with your CK60.

If you choose to use PEAP, you need to load a root CA certificate.
Chapter 5 — Network Support • Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more clients, even with no access point. Each wireless network is assigned a name (or Service Set Identifier - SSID) to allow multiple networks to exist in the same area without infringement. Intermec recommends using security measures with wireless networks to prevent unauthorized access to your network and to ensure your privacy of transmitted data.
Chapter 5 — Network Support Authentication (continued) LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) Also known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/password based authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through a wireless network access point until it successfully authenticates itself. EAP-PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) Performs secure authentication against Windows domains and directory services.
