Ambient Light Sensor
The ambient light sensor turns on the display lighting when conditions
warrant but automatically turns if off again as surrounding light increases.
This conserves your 751G battery power.
To adjust the ambient light sensor, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Double-tap the Backlight icon, then tap the right arrow to move to and tap
the Both Power tab. Make your selections, then tap OK to exit this applet.

Audio System
The audio system consists of the speaker, internal microphone, and the
external headset jack.
Speaker
The speaker, which is capable of variable volume levels, is located on the
back of the 751G. This speaker has a transducer volume of 85 dB min at 10
cm (3.9") and a frequency range of 1-8 KHz.
Microphone
The built-in microphone is located on the bottom of the unit next to the
Hirose docking connector.
This is the bottom of the 751G. Note that the keypad is to the bottom in this illustration.
Warning: Do not place the speaker next to your ear when the speaker
volume is set to “Loud” (maximum), or you may damage your hearing.

External Headset Jack
The external headset jack connects a mobile phone style headset to the
751G for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three-
conductor jack, with autosensing of the headset jack insertion which
disables the internal speaker and microphone. The external headset jack is
located on the bottom of the 751G next to the Hirose docking connector.
Battery
If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your
computer does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected.
Although the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours,
you should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect
a low battery condition.
In short, put the 751G into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove
the main battery.
The 751G comes with a 14.4 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-Ion
(LiIon) battery. To view the status of this battery from the 751G, tap Start
> Settings > Control Panel. Double-tap the Power icon, then tap the
Battery tab. Tap OK to exit this applet.
Note: Your computer has an internal backup super capacitor, a temporary
power storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. It also shuts
down the 751G if the main battery suddenly goes away (removed from the
computer). Depending on the processes running, it may not have adequate
power for a graceful shutdown. If so, the 751G performs a cold-boot the
next time power is applied.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 5
If you have at least one device in your 751G (radio, scanner, or imager), the
battery power fail level is set so that after the system shuts down in a low
battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the unit to remain
configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic Random
Access Memory) for at least 72 hours at room temperature if the main
battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:
• The battery discharges beyond this level.
• The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
• A cold-boot (reset) is performed on the computer.
Installing and Charging the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your 751G. To
charge the battery, you need to install it in the 751G.
1Remove the two thumb screws on the connector cover to release the
hand strap and back cover.
2Slide the bottom of the strap forward to release it from the retaining slot.
3Tilt, insert, and place the battery into the compartment. Make sure the
battery compartment latch clicks in place to ensure the battery is secure.
4Insert your 751G into its single dock for charging.

default on the 751G: Code 39, Code 128, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-
13, and Datamatrix.
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. See the Intermec
Computer Command Reference Manual available from the Intermec web site
at www.intermec.com.
Scanning with the Area Imager
The 751G has an area imager on the top of the unit that can scan 1D and
2D bar code symbologies. It also supports omni-directional (360°)
scanning where you can position the unit in any orientation to scan a bar
code label. Using the 2D imager is like taking a digital picture.
Note: Cold resetting deletes all programs and data stored in RAM
including the Object Store. Make sure data is backed up to your host
computer or a storage card before performing a cold reset.

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.
Configuring the Computer With Intermec Settings
Use the Intermec Settings applet to configure the 751G and view system
information. You can access the Intermec Settings applet while running any
application.
For detailed information on most of the commands available in the
Intermec Settings applet, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference
Manual (P/N 073529) via the Intermec web site. Go to “Before You
Begin” for access information.
Synchronizing the Computer System Time with a Time Server
It is important that the time on all of your 751Gs be synchronized with a
network time server to ensure real-time communications and updates.
Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from an
outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The 751G
uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize with a
network time server.
The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To
synchronize the time on your 751G with this time server, you must have a
valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the 751G system
time with a corporate network server within your firewall that is SNTP-
capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you need to set the
command name in the registry.
From the 751G desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then
double-tap the Intermec Settings icon.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 37
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. You can only set those commands that have a syntax in the
Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual.
Configuring the Computer in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network
Use the host computer to configure a wireless 751G in a
TCP/IP network. To send and receive configuration data, write a host
application that can communicate with the 751G directly through an
access point or through the network. Use the TMF protocol to send and
receive transactions between the host application and the 751G.
To set up the host computer, verify communication with the 751G. To set
up the application, prepare and write a host application that can
communicate with the IAS and send transactions to and receive
transactions from the 751G in this format:
where:
Example
In the host application, you want to get the current values of two
configuration commands from the 751G. Send the CG$+NABV transaction
from the host application.
where:
Note: You can continue running an application on the 751G while
configuring it from the host computer.
TMF field commands
TMF field is a 2-byte field containing one of these values:
CG Configuration Get request sent from the host application.
Cg Configuration Get response sent from the 751G to the host computer.
CS Configuration Set request sent from the host application.
Cs Configuration Set response sent from the 751G to the host computer.
commands are the reader and configuration commands to set on the 751G or the current
value to retrieve from the 751G. To save configuration changes in flash
memory, send the .+1 reader command as the last command. See the
Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual for a list of commands.
Note: The transaction header is not shown in this example. You do not
need a transaction header for a host application in a TCP/IP network, but
you do for a UDP Plus network.
CG is a TMF Configuration Get request.
$+ is the Change Configuration reader command.
BV is the Beeper Volume configuration command.

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.
Send Reader Commands through the Network or from an Application
See the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual for information.
Configuring the Printer
The 751G works with a Zebra PT403 Portable Printer, which interfaces
through an I/O adapter (P/N 074143). Contact an Intermec representative
for information about this printer.
Methods for printing using Windows CE at this time is as follows:
• Add port drivers to print ASCII directly to the port.
• Use LinePrinter ActiveX Control from the Software Developer’s Kit
(SDK) - see the SDK User’s Manual for more information.
Directly to a Port
Printing directly to the port sends RAW data to the printer. The format of
this data depends upon your application and the printer capabilities.
You must understand the printer commands available for your specific
printer. Generally, applications just send raw ASCII text to the printer.
Since you are sending data to the printer from your application directly to
the port you are in complete control of the printers operations. This allows
you to do line printing (print one line at a time) rather than the page format
printing offered by the GDI approach. It is also much faster since data does
not have to be converted from one graphics format to the other (display to
printer). Most Intermec printers use Epson Escape Sequences to control
print format operations.
These commands are available in documentation you receive with your
printers or from technical support. Win32 APIs are required to print
directly to the port.
Directly to a Generic Serial Port
To print directly to a generic serial port printer (non–Intermec printers):
• Use CreateFile() to open ports - COM1: can be opened on most devices.
• Use WriteFile() to send data directly to the printer.
• Use CloseHandle() when you are finished printing to close the port.

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.
An ImageDemo application is available to demonstrate imager features. See
the ImageDemo User’s Guide (P/N 934-002-001) for more information.
Scanner Control and Data Transfer
The data server and associated software provide ways to handle scanner
control, data transfer between the scanner subsystem and user applications:
•Automatic Data Collection COM Interfaces:
These COM interfaces allow user applications to receive bar code data,
and configure and control the bar code reader engine.
•ITCAxBarCodeReaderControl functions:
These ActiveX controls allow user applications to collect bar code data
from the scanner, to configure the scanner, and to configure audio and
visual notification when data arrives.
•ITCAxReaderCommand functions:
Use these ActiveX controls to modify and retrieve configuration
information using the reader interface commands.
•Scanning EasySet bar code labels:
You can use the EasySet bar code creation software from Intermec
Technologies Corporation to print configuration labels. Scan the labels
to change the scanner configuration and data transfer settings.
Use the software to print scannable configuration labels to change your
configuration settings. For more information, see the EasySet online
help. EasySet is available from the Intermec Data Capture web site.

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.
For the 751G, cab files register DLLs, create shortcuts, modify registry
entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a cab file to extract that file or
place the cab file on one of the approved storage devices in the “\CabFiles”
folder, then perform a warm-boot on the 751G. There are two methods
available to extract a cab file:
• Tap a cab file to extract it. With this method, the cab file is automatically
deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless the cab file is set
with the read-only attribute.
• Use the AutoCab method to extract all files when a cold-boot is
performed on the 751G. This method is on the Intermec Developer
Library CD, see its Software Tools User’s Manual for information.
Developing Applications for the Computer
751Gs run applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studios 2005.
Use this chapter to understand what you need to develop a new application
for the 751G.
Use Resource Kits from the Intermec Developer Library (IDL) to develop

web site at www.intermec.com/idl.
You need the following hardware and software components to use the
resource kits:
• Pentium desktop, 400 MHz or higher
• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home,
Professional, or Server)
• For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
• 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)
• 360 MB hard drive space minimum installation (720 MB for complete)
• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia desktop specification
• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Note: Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 may be used, but some features
are not available.

751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 47
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.
Consider any of these when choosing a storage location for applications:
• In the 751G are two built-in storage options: the Object Store and the
Persistent Storage Manager (PSM). The Object Store is RAM that looks
like a disk. Anything copied here is deleted when a cold-boot is
performed on the unit. The PSM is an area of storage embedded in a
section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased
during a cold-boot, but it may be erased during the reflash. You also have
the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.
• If the optional Secure Digital storage card is in the system, then consider
this card the primary location to place applications installation files. The
“\SDMMC Disk” folder represents the Secure Digital card.
• Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that
rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB file
into the Flash File Store so they are “ready-to-run” when a cold-boot is
performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of
write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing
purposes; however, reading is okay.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when a cold-boot is performed
on a 751G — providing the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate
location. You can find this system in the 751G Management Tools portion
of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD. Copying a cab file to the “\Flash
File Store\Persistent Copy\CabFiles” folder automatically extracts that cab
file on every cold-boot to ensure that your system is properly set up (see
“Installing Cabinet Files” on page 46).
Launching Your Application Automatically
You can configure the various media used in the Windows system with a
folder name and can change the media in the registry of the system. Many
of the startup components rely on folder names to locate information files,
applications, or other related data.
Note: This describes the system component startup for Intermec-provided
components only. It does not describe the bootstrap loader process. It only
describes the component installation process provided by Windows. It is
assumed that you understand the Microsoft Mobile startup procedures and
are familiar with how Microsoft components start up.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
48 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
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. These non-Intermec components may also need to start
themselves so the Windows device can function properly. Since there are
possible configurations that come from using one or more optional built-in
peripheral devices, the platform components starting on the next page are
required to manage startup.
RunAutoRun
System components are installed and configured during the power up
process from a single starting point. RunAutoRun (RunAutoRun.exe),
built into the operating system image and located in the “\Windows”
folder, checks for AutoExec (AutoExec.exe) in the “\Flash File Store\2577”
folder.
Folder names used for the mounted volumes are retrieved from the registry
to maintain coherence with the naming of the mounted volumes on the
platform. These folder names are not hard-coded.
AutoExec is reserved for Intermec use to configure Intermec-specific
applications. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab (AutoCab.exe), to
install platform cab files to the system, such as Intermec Data Collection.
When the AutoExec is complete, RunAutorun then checks for the existence
of AutoRun (AutoRun.exe) and executes this program from the first media
it is found on. This order is Secure Digital (“\SDMMC Disk\2577”),
Object Store (“\2577”), Flash File Store (“\Flash File Store\2577”).
AutoRun is reserved for customer use to configure application launch
sequences. It launches the AutoCab installer and any customer programs
added to the AutoUser.dat file. Shown is the hierarchy of these files:
runautorun
autoexec autorun
autocopy autoreg foldercopy customer
applications autocab
autocab
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 49
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.
Usage:
AutoExec [-%[W]] [-E=["X"]] [-F=["Y"]] [-LOG=] [-W=[Z]]
Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WinError.h.
Keywords that AutoExec supports are:
Examples of keyword usage are as follows:
; Allow message pop up if an error occurs.
QUIET 0
; Log any debug output to a trace file.
LOGGING 1
Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec
Private.” AutoExec installs Intermec applications such as Data Collection,
Security Supplicants, Intermec Management, applets, and shortcuts from
components found in the Flash File System. Do not modify the AutoExec
data file. Instead, use the AutoRun program to add software components.
-% Passes an ID to use in a call to SignalStarted. This argument is useful only during
system startup that relies on a SignalStarted to call. W is an integer value.
-E Passes a signal event name to use when autoexec completes. X is a string value.
-F Overrides data file to use. Must be a fully qualified name. Default is
“autoexec.dat” in same location as AutoExec.exe program. Y is string value.
-LOG Set to any value logs activity to AutoExec.txt (in the same location as the
AutoExec.exe program). Default is disabled.
-W Pauses the autoexec process by calling sleep for the number of seconds specified
by Z. Z is an integer value.
QUIET Enables user notification when an error occurs.
LOGGING Enables logging to a trace file.
SIGNAL Enables the specified named event and is immediately signaled. Useful for
notifying other components of the current status.
CALL Processes another .dat file. When called file is complete, file is resumed.
RUN Runs a program with a SW_SHOWNORMAL attribute. Autoexec does not
wait for the child process to exit.
LOAD Runs a program with a SW_HIDE attribute. Autoexec waits for 60 seconds
for the child process to exit or EXECWAIT seconds if set.
EXEC Runs the specified program. AutoExec waits 60 seconds for the child
process to exit or EXECWAIT seconds if set.
EXECWAIT Changes the default EXEC wait time from 60 seconds to the number of
seconds specified. There is a maximum 10-minute limit imposed.
WAIT Forces a sleep for the specified number of seconds to occur.
WAITFOR Forces a sleep until the named event is signaled.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
50 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
; 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.
EXECWAIT 90
; Suspend processing any commands for 10 seconds.
WAIT 10
; Suspend processing any commands until event called MyEventName is signaled.
WAITFOR "MyEventName"
AutoRun
AutoRun (AutoRun.exe) automates operations such as launching other
processes and is configured through the AutoRun data file (AutoRun.dat).
This file must be in the same directory as the program itself.
AutoRun supports the following script commands in AutoUser.dat and
AutoRun.dat.
AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first parameter to allow
specifying path names or file names that contain white space. Note only
one set of quotes per command is supported. AutoRun.dat entry examples:
AutoCopy
AutoCopy (AutoCopy.exe) copies/moves files between locations. It has no
user interface and is configured through command line arguments. It has
support for the following parameters, in no particular order:
Note: If you need to add steps at boot time, add them to AutoUser.dat, not
to AutoRun.dat. AutoRun.dat is provided by Intermec and is subject to
change. AutoUser.dat is the designated place for the end user to add steps
to the boot time process.
EXEC Launches a specified program, waits for it to complete (up to 10 minutes).
CALL Processes a specified file of commands and returns.
CHAIN Processes a specified file of commands and does not return.
RUN Loads a specified program and executes it.
LOAD Loads a specified program and executes it.
RUN “Flash File Store\Apps\some.exe” arg1, arg2, arg3
CALL “Flash File Store\2577\usercmds.dat”

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.
Use the CAB Wizard application (CabWiz.exe) to generate a .cab file for
your application.
Creating Device-Specific Cab Files
Do the following to create a device-specific .cab file for an application, in
the order provided:
1Create an .INF file with Windows CE-specific modifications (below).
2Optional Create a SETUP.DLL file to provide custom control of the
installation process (page 62).
3Use the CAB Wizard to create the .cab file, using the .inf file, the
optional Setup.dll file, and the device-specific application files as
parameters (page 65).
Creating an .inf File
An .inf file specifies information about an application for the CAB Wizard.
Below are the sections of an .inf file:
[Version]
This specifies the creator of the file, version, other relevant information.
Example
[Version]
Signature = “$Windows NT$”
Provider = “Intermec”
CESignature = “$Windows CE$”
Required? Yes
Signature “signature_name” “$Windows NT$”
Provider “INF_creator” Example: RegSettings.All
CESignature “$Windows CE$”
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
54 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
[CEStrings]
This specifies string substitutions for the application name and the default
installation directory.
Example
[CEStrings]
AppName=“Game Pack”
InstallDir=%CE1%\%AppName%
[Strings]
This section is optional and defines one or more string keys. A string key
represents a string of printable characters.
Example
[Strings]
reg_path = Software\Intermec\My Test App
[CEDevice]
Describes the platform for the targeted application. All keys are optional. If
a key is nonexistent or has no data, Windows CE does not perform any
checking except the UnsupportedPlatforms. If the UnsupportedPlatforms key
exists but no data, the previous value is not overridden.
Required? Yes
AppName app_name Name of the application. Other instances of
%AppName% in the .inf file are replaced with this
string value, such as RP32.
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%
Required? No
string_key value String consisting of letters, digits, other printable characters.
Enclose value in double quotation marks ““”” if corresponding
string key is used in an item requiring double quotation marks.
No string_keys is okay.
Required? Yes
ProcessorType processor_type The value that is returned by SYSTEMINFO.dwProcessorType.For
example, the value for the ARM CPU is 2577
UnsupportedPlatforms platform_family_name Lists known unsupported platform family names. If name specified
in [CEDevice.xxx] section is different from in [CEDevice] section,
both platform_family_name values are unsupported for
microprocessor specified by xxx. The list of unsupported platform
family names is appended to the previous list of unsupported names.
Application Manager will not display the application for an
unsupported platform. User will be warned during the setup process
if the .cab file is copied to an unsupported device.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual 55
Example
[CEDevice]
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1 ; pltfrm1 is unsupported
[CEDevice.SH3]
UnsupportedPlatforms = ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported
Example
The following code example shows three [CEDevice] sections: one that
gives basic information for any CPU and two that are specific to the SH3
and the MIPS microprocessors.
[CEDevice] ; A “template” for all platforms
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1; Does not support pltfrm1
; The following specifies version 1.0 devices only.
VersionMin = 1.0
VersionMax = 1.0
[CEDevice.ARM]; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .CAB file specific to ARM devices.
ProcessorType = 2577; ARM .cab file is valid for ARM microprocessors.
UnsupportedPlatforms = ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported
; The following overrides the version settings so that no version checking is
performed.
VersionMin =
VersionMax =
[CEDevice.MIPS] ; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .CAB file specific to “MIPS” devices.
ProcessorType = 4000; MIPS .CAB file is valid for MIPS microprocessor.
UnsupportedPlatforms =pltfrm2; pltfrm1, pltfrm2 unsupported for MIPs .CAB
file.
VersionMin minor_version Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMinor. The .cab file is valid for
the currently connected device if the version of this device is greater than or equal to
VersionMin.
VersionMax major_version Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMajor. The .cab file is valid for
the currently connected device if the version of this device is less than or equal to
VersionMax.
BuildMin build_number Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwBuildNumber. The .cab file is valid for
the currently connected device if the version of this device is greater than or equal to
BuildMin.
BuildMax build_number Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwBuildNumber. The .cab file is valid for
the currently connected device if the version of this device is less than or equal to BuildMax.
Note: To create the two CPU-specific .cab files for the Setup.inf file in the
previous example, run the CAB Wizard with the “/cpu arm mips”
parameter.

Using Installation Functions in Setup.dll
Setup.dll is an optional file that enables you to perform custom operations
during installation and removal of your application. The following list
shows the functions that are exported by Setup.dll.
After the CAB File Extraction
Cab files that need to cause a warm reset after cab extraction will need to
create the __resetmeplease__.txt file in the “\Windows” directory. The
preferred method to create this file is within the DllMain portion of the
Setup.dll file. It looks like this:
#include <windows.h>
#include <Tlhelp32.h>
#include <winioctl.h>
#include <ce_setup.h> // in the public SDK dir
#define IOCTL_TERMINAL_RESET CTL_CODE (FILE_DEVICE_UNKNOWN,FILE_ANY_ACCESS,
2050, METHOD_NEITHER)
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE h, DWORD reason, LPVOID lpReserved )
{
return TRUE;
} // DllMain
//************************************************************************
// $DOCBEGIN$
// BOOL IsProcessRunning( TCHAR * pname );
//
Install_Init Called before installation begins. Use this function to check the application version when reinstalling
an application and to determine if a dependent application is present.
Install_Exit Called after installation is complete. Use this function to handle errors that occur during application
installation.
Uninstall_Init Called before the removal process begins. Use this function to close the application, if the application
is running.
Uninstall_Exit Called after the removal process is complete. Use this function to save database information to a file
and delete the database and to tell the user where the user data files are stored and how to reinstall the
application.
Note: Use [DefaultInstall] > CESelfRegister (page 56) in the .inf file to
point to Setup.dll.

Creating Cab Files with CAB Wizard
After you create the .inf file and the optional Setup.dll file, use the CAB
Wizard to create the .cab file. Below is the command-line syntax:
cabwiz.exe “inf_file” [/dest dest_directory] [/err error_file] [/cpu cpu_type
[cpu_type]]
A batch file in <program> directory, with these commands, works well:
cabwiz.exe c:\appsoft\<program>\<inf_file_name>
cd \appsoft\<program>
“inf_file” The Setup.inf file path.
dest_directory The destination directory for the .cab files. If no directory is specified, the .cab files are created in the
“inf_file” directory.
error_file File name for a log file that contains all warnings and errors that are encountered when the .cab files
are compiled. If no file name is specified, errors are displayed in message boxes. If a file name is used,
the CAB Wizard runs without the user interface (UI); this is useful for automated builds.
cpu_type Creates a .cab file for each specified microprocessor tag, which is a label used in the Win32
SETUP.INF file to differentiate between different microprocessor types. The /cpu parameter, followed
by multiple cpu_type values, must be the last qualifier in the command line.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
66 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Example
This example creates .cab files for the ARM and MIPS microprocessors,
assuming the Win32 Setup.inf file contains the ARM and MIPS tags:
cabwiz.exe “c:\myfile.inf” /err myfile.err /cpu arm mips
Troubleshooting the CAB Wizard
To identify and avoid problems that might occur when using the CAB
Wizard, follow these guidelines:
•Use %% for a percent sign (%) character when using this character in an
.inf file string, as specified in Win32 documentation. This will not work
under the [Strings] section.
• Do not use .inf or .cab files created for Windows CE to install
applications on Windows-based desktop platforms.
• Ensure the MakeCab.exe and CabWiz.ddf files, included with Windows
CE, are in the same directory as CabWiz.exe.
• Use the full path to call CabWiz.exe.
• Do not create a .cab file with the MakeCab.exe file included with
Windows CE. You must use CabWiz.exe, which uses MakeCab.exe to
generate the .cab files for Windows CE.
•Do not set the read-only attribute for .cab files.
Customization and Lockdown
Some customers would prefer that their users not have access to all of the
operating system features. Intermec cannot customize the operating system
in any way but a custom application can:
• Delete items from the Start menu, and Programs folder. These items are
just shortcuts in the file system so the application is not really being
deleted. Cold booting the device will bring these items back so the
application will need to be run on every cold boot.
• Use the RegFlushKey() API to save a copy of the registry to a storage
device. See the IDL for more information on how to do this. Saving a
copy of the registry restores most system settings in a cold boot situation.
• Use the SHFullScreen() API with other APIs to have the application take
up the entire display and prevent the Start menu from being available.
• Remap keys and disable keys on the keypad; create a custom SIP; or
• Make changes to the registry to configure the device.
Note: CabWiz.exe, MakeCab.exe, and CabWiz.ddf (Windows CE files
available on the Windows CE Toolkit) must be installed in the same
directory on the desktop computer. Call CabWiz.exe using its full path for
the CAB Wizard application to run correctly.

Problems While Configuring the Computer
Problem Solution
You scan a configuration command,
such as Beeper Volume, and you
hear three low beeps.
If you are working in the Intermec Settings applet, you cannot scan configuration
commands. Exit the applet to scan configuration commands.
You scan or enter an option for the
Scanner Model configuration
command and you hear three low
beeps.
You may have scanned or entered a Scanner Model command that does not apply
to the type of scanner that you have installed. Try scanning or entering the Scanner
Model command again and select an option for the type of device you are using.
You cannot type a character on the
keypad or you can only type
uppercase or lowercase letters.
You may have locked a modifier key on the keypad. Check the 751G toolbar to see
if it contains an icon with a locked symbol. Press the necessary key sequence to
unlock the key. See “Keypad” on page 10.
Problems with Wireless Connectivity
Problem Solution
When you turn on the 751G after it
was suspended for a while (10-15
minutes or longer), it can no longer
send or receive messages over the
network.
Host may have deactivated or lost current terminal emulation session. In a
TCP/IP direct connect network, turn off the “KeepAlive” message from host to
maintain the TCP session while a 751G is suspended.
The No Network Connection icon
appears on the toolbar. The 751G is
not communicating with the access
point.
The 751G is not connected to access point. Ensure access point is turned on and
operating. Move closer to access point to reestablish communications. Ensure the
751G is configured correctly for network. 751G radio parameters must match all
access point values.
If you have an 802.11b/g radio and its radio initialization process failed, reset the
751G (see “Resetting Your Computer” on page 13).
If No Network Connection icon still appears, you may have a defective radio card.
For help, contact your local Intermec representative.
The 751G is connected to the
Intermec Application Server or host
computer and you move to a new
site to collect data. The Network
Connection icon was visible, but is
now replaced with the No Network
Connection icon.
Move closer to an access point or to a different location to reestablish
communications until the Network Connection icon appears. Any data you
collected while out of range is transmitted over the network.
The Network Connection icon is in
the toolbar, but you cannot
establish a terminal emulation
session with the host computer.
There may be a problem with the host computer, with the connection between the
Intermec Application Server and the host computer, or with the connection
between the access point and the host computer. Check with network
administrator to make sure the host is running and allowing users to login to the
system.
The Network Connection icon is in
the toolbar, but the host computer
is not receiving any data from the
751G.
In a UDP Plus network, there may be a problem with the connection between the
Intermec Application Server and the host computer. Check with network
administrator or see the user’s manual for the Intermec Application Server.
In a TCP/IP network, there may be a problem with the connection between the
access point and the host computer. Check with network administrator or use your
access point user’s manual.

Cleaning the Scanner
To keep the 751G in good working order, you may need to clean the EA11
scanner window.
Clean the scanner window as often as needed for the environment in which
you are using the 751G. To clean the 751G, use a solution of ammonia and
water.
Press the power switch to turn off the 751G. Dip a clean cloth towel in the
ammonia solution and wring out the excess. Wipe off the scanner window,
wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to touch this surface.
751G with EA11 Scanner. Note that this is the top of the unit.
The input device attached to the
751G does not work well or read
bar code labels very quickly.
Set the Scanner Model command to the specific attached input device. Check
enabled bar code symbologies and enable only the symbologies being used.
The scanner will not read the bar
code label.
Aim the scanner beam to cross entire bar code label in one pass. Vary the scanning
angle.
Check the quality of the bar code label, Scan a bar code label that you know will
scan. Compare the two bar code labels to see if the bar code quality is too low. You
may need to replace the label that you cannot scan.
Ensure the bar code symbology is enabled. Use the Intermec Settings applet to
check the symbologies. Expand Data Collection > Symbologies beneath devices
listed (scanner, virtual wedge) to check and enable symbologies, then scan the bar
code label again.
Ensure the 751G application is expecting input from a bar code. You may need to
type this information instead.
The scanner does not read the bar
code labels quickly, or the scanning
beam seems to be faint or obscured.
The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution of ammonia
and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to touch the window.
You scan a valid bar code label to
enter data for your application. The
data decoded by the scan module
does not match the data encoded in
the bar code label.
The 751G may have decoded the bar code label in a symbology other than the
label’s actual symbology. Try scanning the bar code label again. Make sure you scan
the entire label.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the 751G. Opening the unit
will void the warranty and may cause damage to the internal
components.

This is Cisco's version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco Aironet products.
TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity
Protocol)
This protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs, which provides per-
packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus overcoming most of
the weak points of WEP. This encryption is more difficult to crack than the standard WEP. Weak
points of WEP include: No Initiation Vector (IV) reuse protection, weak keys, no protection against
message replay, no detection of message tampering, and no key updates.
WEP (Wired
Equivalent
Privacy)
encryption
With preconfigured WEP, both the client 751G and access point are assigned the same key, which
can encrypt all data between the two devices. WEP keys also authenticate the 751G to the access point
- unless the 751G can prove it knows the WEP key, it is not allowed onto the network. WEP keys are
only needed if they are expected by your clients. There are two types available: 64-bit (5-character
strings, 12345) (default) and 128-bit (13-character strings, 1234567890123). Enter these as either
ASCII (12345) or Hex (0x3132333435).
Key Management Protocols
WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access)
This is an enhanced version of WEP that does not rely on a static, shared key. It encompasses a
number of security enhancements over WEP, including improved data encryption via TKIP and
802.11b/g authentication with EAP. WiFi Alliance security standard is designed to work with existing
802.11 products and to offer forward compatibility with 802.11i.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi
Protected Access)
Second generation of WPA security. Like WPA, WPA2 provides enterprise and home Wi-Fi users
with a high level of assurance that their data remains protected and that only authorized users can
access their wireless networks. WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802.11i amendment to the 802.11
standard ratified in June 2004. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data
encryption and is eligible for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140-2 compliance.
Authentication
EAP (Extensible
Authentication
Protocol)
802.11b/g uses this protocol to perform authentication. This is not necessarily an authentication
mechanism, but is a common framework for transporting actual authentication protocols. Intermec
provides a number of EAP protocols for you to choose the best for your network.
EAP-FAST
(Flexible
Authentication
via Secure
Tunneling)
A publicly accessible IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by Cisco Systems. It is available as an IETF
informational draft. An 802.1X EAP type that does not require digital certificates, supports a variety
of user and password database types, supports password expiration and change, and is flexible, easy to
deploy, and easy to manage.
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. It is comparable to
EAP-TTLS both in its method of operation and its security, though not as flexible. This does not
support the range of inside-the-tunnel authentication methods supported by EAP-TTLS. Microsoft
and Cisco both support this protocol.

The 751G provides three types of security for your wireless network: Wi-Fi
Protected Access 2 (WPA2/802.11i), WPA, and WEP. 802.1x should be
referred to as an authentication method used for WPA and WPA2. Another
authentication method for WPA and WPA2 would be the Pre-Shared Key
(PSK).
Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security
Before you can implement a security solution on the 751G, you need to
choose between Microsoft and Funk security:
• By default, Funk security is enabled. It provides everything you get with
Microsoft security plus the addition of Cisco Compatible Extensions
features. It also provides additional authentication types like EAP-TTLS,
LEAP, and EAP-FAST.
• Microsoft security, with its Microsoft Zero Config feature, is also
available. To switch to Microsoft security, go to “Configuring Microsoft
Security” on page 126 to start.
Configuring Funk Security
You can define up to four profiles for your Funk Odyssey security.
Different profiles let your 751G communicate in different networks
without having to change all of your security settings. For example, you can
set up one profile for the manufacturing floor and one for the warehouse.
EAP-TLS
(Transport Layer
Security)
Based on the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol widely used to secure web sites. This requires
both the user and authentication server have certificates for mutual authentication. While cryptically
strong, this requires corporations that deploy this to maintain a certificate infrastructure for all users.
EAP-TTLS
(Tunneled
Transport Layer
Security)
This protocol provides authentication like EAP-TLS (see page 120) but does not require certificates
for every user. Instead, authentication servers are issued certificates. User authentication is done using
a password or other credentials that are transported in a securely encrypted “tunnel” established using
server certificates.
EAP-TTLS works by creating a secure, encrypted tunnel through which you present your credentials
to the authentication server. Thus, inside EAP-TTLS there is another inner authentication protocol that
you must configure via Additional TTLS Settings.
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication server.
For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft Active
Directory® to issue certificates.

Using WPA Security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced, interoperable Wi-Fi
security that addresses many of the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP). Instead of WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) for its data encryption method. Currently, WPA satisfies
IEEE 802.11i standards.
WPA runs in Enterprise (802.1x) mode or PSK mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using 802.1x and
the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). That is, an authentication
server (such as a RADIUS server) must authenticate each device before
the device can communicate with the wireless network.
• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a shared key
between the authenticator and the 751G. WPA-PSK is a good solution
for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an
authentication server.
To use WPA security, you need an access point with an 802.11b/g radio
that supports WPA.

This value must match the passphrase on the authenticator.
6Exit the Intermec Settings applet.
Using 802.1x Authentication
802.1x authentication provides centralized user authentication using an
authentication server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These
components communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS
(Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication
Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP
key management. To use 802.1x security, you need:
• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
• A 751G with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option.
