Note: Desktop icons 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 desktop.
PAGE 50
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Configuring Parameters You can configure many parameters on the 751G, such as the bar code symbologies it decodes or the network settings. These characteristics are controlled by configuration parameters. The values you set for these configuration parameters determine how the computer operates. Use configuration commands to configure the 751G.
PAGE 51
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Configuring the Computer through the Network You can change the configuration parameters of the 751G by sending commands through a host computer or through the network. If you are using a network, you can configure one or more 751Gs at a time. You can remotely configure the wireless 751G by sending a command from an application on the host computer. Note that you cannot set all parameters through the network.
PAGE 52
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer The computer returns the CgS+BV4 transaction to the host application: Cg is a TMF Configuration Get response. $+ is the Change Configuration reader command. BV4 means the Beeper Volume configuration command is set to a value of 4, which is a very high beeper volume. Configuring the Computer in a UDP Plus Network Use the host computer to configure a 751G in your wireless network.
PAGE 53
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Using Configuration Parameters A configuration parameter changes the way the 751G operates. Use either of these methods to execute configuration parameters: Scan EasySet bar code labels: Use the EasySet application from Intermec Technologies Corporation to print configuration labels. Scan labels to change imager configuration and data transfer settings. See the EasySet online help for information.
PAGE 54
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Configuring the Scanner The 751G comes with a 2D Imager that decodes several stacked 1D and 2D symbologies, including PDF417, Data Matrix, and MaxiCode without “painting.” It can also read 1D codes from any orientation. For example the scan beam does not need to align perpendicular to the symbol in order to read it. Photography is a secondary application; the lens in the device favors bar code reading. Photos are 640x480, 256 gray-scale.
PAGE 55
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Changing Comm Settings Tap Change Comm Settings to configure the settings for the COM1 port. Current settings are restored after a warm-boot is performed, but are lost after a cold-boot is performed. When these settings are not changed, the OK button is disabled (grayed out). When changes are made, tap OK after it is enabled to accept these changes.

Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer 5 Add the AuotRun.exe file to the “\SDMMC Disk\2577” folder. 6 Remove the Secure Digital storage card from your PC and reinstall it into the 751G, then warm-boot the 751G to add these files to the Secure Digital storage card. If the AutoUser.dat file is found and the “RUN=” statement is correct, the task manager launches and executes your program on startup.
PAGE 60
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Installing Cabinet Files Cab files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .cab, that stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread over several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application decompresses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s system.
PAGE 61
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Packaging Applications for the Computer • You could package an application as a cabinet (cab) file. Recommended • For simple applications, the application itself may be the file to deliver. • It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
PAGE 62
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer The registry keys used by FolderCopy and other startup components to retrieve the folder names are as follows: Flash File Store [HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\FlshDrv] “FolderName”=“Flash File Store” SD Card (Storage Card) [HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMMC] “Folder”=“Storage Card” During normal Windows system startup, there are Intermec-specific and non-Intermec components that require an orderly start to properly function.
PAGE 63
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer AutoExec AutoExec (AutoExec.exe) automates operations such as pausing, launching processes, or signaling, and is configured through the AutoExec data file (AutoExec.dat). This script file must be in the same directory as the program itself. Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec Private.
PAGE 64
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer ; Perform a SetEvent on the event name "autoexec_started". SIGNAL "autoexec_started" ; Include this child data file, childexec.dat. CALL "\childexec.dat" ; Use autocopy to copy the audio control panel from flash file store to the windows directory. Wait for up to 60 seconds for it to exit. EXEC "\Flash File Store\SYSTEM\autocopy.exe" -S"\Flash File Store\System\CPLAudio.cpl" -D"\Windows\CPLAudio.cpl" ; Change the default EXEC wait time to 90 seconds.
PAGE 65
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Usage: AutoCopy [-D["W"]] [-L["X"]] [-M[D]] [-Q[Y]] [-S["Z"]] -D Indicates destination file name and must be fully qualified. W is a string value. -L Indicates qualified file name for logging to enable. Default is disabled, X string value -M Moves file to a destination rather than copies the file. Default value is disabled. D is an integer value. D=1 indicates enabled, 0 is disabled. -Q Indicates if a message box should appear when an error occurs.
PAGE 66
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer AutoCab AutoCab (AuotCab.exe) extracts files, registry settings, and shortcuts from Windows cabinet (.CAB) files. The Windows startup sequence invokes AutoCab as a part of AutoExec and AutoRun. During the Windows Mobile startup sequence, AutoCab processes all cab files in the “\CabFiles” directory relative to the current location of Autocab, unless the location is overridden by command line arguments.
PAGE 67
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer Creating Cab Files The Windows CE operating system uses a .cab file to install an application on a Windows CE-based device. A .cab file is composed of multiple files that are compressed into one file. Compressing multiple files into one file provides the following benefits: • All application files are present. • A partial installation is prevented. • The application can be installed from several sources, such as a desktop computer or a web site.
PAGE 68
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer [CEStrings] This specifies string substitutions for the application name and the default installation directory. Required? Yes AppName app_name InstallDir default_install_dir Default installation directory on the device. Other instances of %InstallDir% in the .inf file are replaced with this string value. Example: \SDMMC_Disk\%AppName% Name of the application. Other instances of %AppName% in the .inf file are replaced with this string value, such as RP32.

Chapter 5 — Network Support Remote Access (Modems) You can set up connections to the Internet and corporate network at work to browse the Internet or intranet, send and receive e-mail, and synchronize information using ActiveSync. Connections are made via wireless networks. Your 751G has two groups of connection settings: My ISP and My Work Network. Use My ISP settings to connect to the Internet. Use My Work Network settings to connect to any private network.

Configuring Static WEP Security With Funk Security Use this procedure to set Static WEP security with Funk security. 1 Make sure you have configured the communications and radio parameters on your 751G and that Funk is your security choice.
