APPENDIX B SPECIAL SOFTWARE CONFIGURATIONS Battery Usage Threshold Setting By default the Battery Usage Threshold value is set to a pre-defined value (400 by default). To change the threshold value, a registry key must be created to allow changing this value. A battery becomes unhealthy when the Battery Usage Indication reach a predefined threshold (end of usable life). NOTE The point at which a battery becomes unhealthy may vary depending upon the environment and charging conditions.

GLOSSARY Numeric 802.11/802.11abg. A radio protocol that may be used by the Motorola radio card. A Access Point. Access Point (AP) refers to Motorola’s Ethernet Access Point. It is a piece of communications equipment that manages communications between the host computer system and one or more wireless terminals. An AP connects to a wired Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet wired network and IEEE 802.11 interoperable radio-equipped mobile units, such as a MC21XX.
Glossary - 2 MC21XX Series Intergrator Guide Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made, the information content is decoded. B Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol. Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form.
Glossary - 3 Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology. Check Digit. A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is decoded. Codabar.
Glossary - 4 MC21XX Series Intergrator Guide Discrete 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing each character by a group of five bars, two of which are wide. The location of wide bars in the group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insignificant. Only numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded. E EAN. European Article Number. This European/International version of the UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards.
Glossary - 5 Hz. Hertz; A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Host Computer. A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing such services as computation, database access, supervisory programs and network control. I IDE. Intelligent drive electronics. Refers to the solid-state hard drive type. IEC. International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.
Glossary - 6 MC21XX Series Intergrator Guide L LAN. Local area network. A radio network that supports data communication within a local area, such as within a warehouse of building. laser scanner. A type of bar code reader that uses a beam of laser light. LASER. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.The laser is an intense light source. Light from a laser is all the same frequency, unlike the output of an incandescent bulb. Laser light is typically coherent and has a high energy density.
Glossary - 7 P Parameter. A variable that can have different values assigned to it. PDT. Portable Data Terminal. Percent Decode. The average probability that a single scan of a bar code would result in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar code scanning system, that probability should approach near 100%. Q Quiet Zone. A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character. R RAM. Random Access Memory.
Glossary - 8 MC21XX Series Intergrator Guide Scanning Sequence. A method of programming or configuring parameters for a bar code reading system by scanning bar code menus. SDK. Software Development Kit Self-Checking Code. A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect encoding errors within the characters of a bar code symbol. Shared Key. Shared Key authentication is an algorithm where both the AP and the MU share an authentication key. SID. System Identification code.
Glossary - 9 U UPC. Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two spaces, each of which is any of four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United States. V Visible Laser Diode (VLD). A solid state device which produces visible laser light. W WAN. Wide-Area Network. A radio network that supports data communication beyond a local area. That is, information can be sent across a city, state, or even nationwide.
