802.11b/g and a/b/g Wireless Client The VX7 has an 802.11x network card that supports diversity with two antennas. The CPU board does not allow hot swapping the network card. Power management for the network card is configured with the Summit Client Utility. WEP, WPA and LEAP are supported. Central Processing Unit The CPU is a 400MHz Intel PXA255. The operating system is Microsoft Windows CE. The OS image is stored on an internal SD flash card and is loaded into DRAM for execution.
Power Supply Vehicle power input for the VX7 is 12V to 80V DC nominal and is accepted without the need to perform any manual operation within the VX7. If 12V to 60V DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional external Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level. Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible.
Bluetooth LXEZ Pairing The VX7 contains Bluetooth version 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) up to 3.0 Mbit/s over the air. Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. The wireless client retains wireless connectivity while Bluetooth is active. The user will not be able to select PIN authentication or encryption on connections to from the VX7. However, the VX7 supports authentication requests from pairing devices.

VX7 with Disabled Touch Screen For a VX7, the touch screen can be disabled. It may be easier to configure the VX7 using ActiveSync and LXEConnect rather than using the VX7 keyboard only. Synchronizing from the Mobile Device To synchronize using a wireless LAN card, you must have set up ActiveSync on your desktop computer and completed the first synchronization process before you initiate synchronization from your device.
Connect Connect the modem cable to the PC (the host) and the mobile device (the client). Select “Connect” from the Start Menu on the mobile device (Start > Programs > Communications > Connect). Note: Run “Connect” when the “Get Connected” wizard on the host PC is checking COM ports to establish a connection for the first time. Note: USB synchronization will start automatically when the cable is connected, not requiring you to select “Connect” from the Start menu.
ActiveSync Help ActiveSync on the host says that a device is trying to connect, but it cannot identify it One or more control lines are not connected. This is usually a cable problem, but on a laptop or other device, it may indicate a bad serial port. If the VX7 is connected to a PC by a cable, disconnect the cable from the VX7 and reconnect it again. Check that the correct connection is selected (Serial or USB “Client” if this is the initial ActiveSync installation).
Configuring the VX7 with LXEConnect LXEConnect allows a user to view the VX7 screen remotely from a PC using an ActiveSync connection: Requirement : ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP desktop/laptop computers) must be resident on the host (desktop/laptop) computer. Windows Mobile Device Center is required for a Windows Vista/Windows 7 desktop/laptop computer. ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center for the PC are available from the Microsoft website.

Note: StickyKeys and StickyKeys Settings on the Keyboard panel are disabled as this setting, when enabled, interferes with the VX7's assigned sticky key implementation. Tab Contents Sticky Keys - Disabled. Keyboard ToggleKeys - Disabled by default.
Administration - AppLock Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration Use this option to set parameters for computers intended to be used as dedicated, single or multiple application devices. In other words, only the application or feature specified in the AppLock configuration by the Administrator are available to the VX7 user.
Setup a New Device VX7 devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the VX7 is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed. After the administrator specifies the applications to lock, a password is assigned and the device is rebooted or the hotkey is pressed, the device switches to end-user mode. Briefly, the process to configure a new device is as follows: 1.
End User Mode End-user mode locks the end-user into the configured application or applications. The end user can still reboot and respond to dialog boxes. Each application is automatically launched and runs in full screen mode when the device boots up. The user cannot unintentionally or intentionally exit the application nor can the end user execute any other applications.
End-User Switching Technique Note: The touch screen must be enabled. A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the VX7 default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated. The check to the left of the application name indicates that the application is active.
Hotkey (Activation hotkey) The default Hotkey (Activation key) is Ctrl+Spc. The key sequence switches the focus between one application and another. Data entry affects the application running in the foreground only. Note that the system administrator may have assigned a different key sequence to use when switching applications.
Application Configuration Settings > Control Panel > Administration icon The default Administrator Hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A. Administrator mode allows access to all features on the device. When the hotkey is pressed to switch into Administrator mode, a password prompt is displayed (if a password has been configured).
Option Explanation Internet Default is Disabled. Enable the Internet checkbox to use the End-user Internet Explorer (EUIE.EXE). When the checkbox is enabled, the Internet Menu and Internet Status are available. See the section titled End-user Internet Explorer (EUIE) for more details. Launch Button See following section titled Launch Button. Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarlynamed options contained in other Control Panels.
Auto At Boot Default is Enabled. Auto At Boot When enabled, automatically launches (subject to the specified Delay in seconds) the application after the unit is rebooted. If a Delay in seconds is specified, AppLock waits for the specified period of time to expire before launching the application. The Delay default value is 10 seconds; valid values are between 0 “no delay” and a maximum of 999 seconds.
Auto Re-Launch Auto Re-Launch Default is Enabled. When enabled for a specific application, automatically re-launches it (subject to the specified Auto Re-Launch Delay in seconds) after it terminates. This option allows the Administrator to disable the re-launch operation. AppLock cannot prevent all applications from closing. When an application that AppLock cannot prevent from closing terminates, perhaps because of an error condition, AppLock re-launches the application when this option is enabled.
Manual (Launch) Default is Disabled. Enabling this option allows the end-user to launch the specified application(s). Upon bootup completion an application with Manual enabled is listed on the Switchpad accompanied by a checkmark that indicates the application is currently active or available for Launching. When an application name is tapped by the end-user, the application is launched (if inactive) and brought to the foreground.
Match Default is blank (match is not used). AppLock works by associating display windows with the launched process ID. If an application uses different process IDs for windows it creates, the Match field must be used. Use the Match field to specify up to 32 characters of the class name for the application. For example: l DOS applications using a standard DOS display box should specify condev_appcls in the Match textbox. l Remote Desktop (remote.exe) should specify TSSHELLWND in the Match textbox.
Security Panel Hotkey Specify the hotkey sequence that triggers AppLock to switch between administrator and user modes and the password required to enter Administrator mode. The default hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A. A 2nd key keypress is an invalid keypress for a hotkey sequence. Move the cursor to the Hot Key text box. Enter the new hot key sequence by first pressing the Shift state key followed by a normal key. The hotkey selected must be a key sequence that the application being locked does not use.
Options Panel AppLock contains several types of delays and timeouts to accommodate different applications. Please note that the delays specified on the Launch panel are delays before AppLock attempts to start the specified application(s). The timeouts specified on this panel are delays after AppLock has attempted to launch the application. Launch timeout This timeout specifies the period of time for AppLock to wait for the application to initially launch after the application has been called.
Move the cursor to the Filename text box and either type the logfile path or tap the Browse button (the … button). The standard Windows CE Browse dialog is displayed. After selecting the logfile from the Browse dialog, tap OK. Note: If your Status Panel does not look like the figure shown above, you may have the Single Application version which does not have as many options.
AppLock Help The mobile device won’t switch from Administration mode to end-user mode. If the configuration is valid for one application but not the other, the switch to end-user mode fails. AppLock stays in Administration mode and is stopped until the Administrator password is entered. The hotkey sequence needed is not allowed.

Main Tab Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner > Main tab Parameter Port Function Default: Port 1 is disabled. Port 2 COM1 is enabled. COM1 ScrCtl and COM3 ScrCtl are used to enable the screen blanking function. Default: Enabled. If “Send Key Messages (WEDGE)” is checked, the Scanner Driver is in “Key Message” (also known as “character”) mode which sends the bar codes to the application with the focus as keystrokes. All data scanned is converted to keystrokes and sent to the active window.
Screen Blanking The VX7 can be configured to blank the display when the vehicle to which it is mounted is moving, eliminating a possible distraction for the driver. When configured properly, the screen blanking feature provides a tamper resistant method to blank the vehicle screen. The screen blanking feature consists of Scanner Control Panel Options and a customer supplied cable connected to one of the COM ports on the VX7.
Technical Specifications - Screen Blanking Cable The customer must supply their own cable. The cable must be designed so that pin 7 (RTS – Request to Send Output) and pin 8 (Clear to Send Input) of a DB9 female connector provide continuity only when the vehicle is stopped (for example, via a switch on the accelerator pedal of the fork truck). All other pins on the connector must be left unconnected. If pins 7 and 8 do not provide continuity (or the cable is removed), the VX7 screen remains blank.
COM1 Tab Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner > COM1 This panel sets communication parameters for any device connected to the external port. Adjust the settings and click the OK button to save the changes. Any changes take effect immediately. This panel does not configure the connected device. Please refer to the documentation for the external connected or wireless device for information on configuring the device.
COM3 Tab Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner > COM3 This panel sets communication parameters for any device connected to the external port. Adjust the settings and click the OK button to save the changes. Any changes take effect immediately. This panel does not configure the connected device.

Serial Port Pin 9 To configure the COM port to supply power to an external scanner tethered to the COM port, check the checkbox for Power on Pin 9 (+5V). The external scanner is powered by the VX7's power source. Wireless external scanners use their own power source. To configure a COM port for Ring Indicator (RI) on Pin 9, uncheck the checkbox for Power on Pin 9 (+5V) (disabled). The default is On (+ 5V enabled) for COM1, Off (RI enabled) for COM3.
Barcode Tab Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner > Barcode tab The Barcode tab contains several options to control barcode processing. Options include: l Defining custom Code IDs l Disable processing of specified barcode symbologies l Rejecting barcode data that is too short or too long l Stripping characters including Code ID, leading or trailing characters and specified barcode data strings l Replacing control characters l Adding a prefix and a suffix.
Enable Code ID This parameter programs the scanner to transmit the specified Code ID and/or determines the type of barcode identifier being processed. Transmission of the Code ID is enabled at the scanner for all barcode symbologies, not for an individual symbology. Code ID is sent from the scanner so the scanner driver can discriminate between symbologies. Options l None: Programs an internal scanner to disable transmission of a code ID.
Barcode – Custom Identifiers Code IDs can be defined by the user. This allows processing parameters to be configured for barcodes that do not use the standard IDs or for barcodes that have data embedded at the beginning of the data that acts like a Code ID. These are called custom Code IDs and are included in the Symbology drop down box in the Symbology dialog, unless Enable Code ID is set to None.
Buttons Add Entering data into both the Name and ID Code fields enables the Add button. Click the Add button and the data is added to the next empty location in the Custom ID list. Insert Click on an empty line in the Custom ID list. The Add button changes to Insert. Enter data into both the Name and ID Code fields and click the Insert button. The data is added to the selected line in the Custom IDs list. Edit Double click on the item to edit. Its values are copied to the text boxes for editing.
Barcode Processing Examples The following table shows examples of stripping and prefix/suffix configurations. The examples assume that the scanner is configured to transmit a Code ID and the proper Custom IDs have been configured.
Barcode - Ctrl Char Mapping The Ctrl Char Mapping button (Control Character Mapping) activates a dialog to define the operations the Wedge performs on control characters (values less than 0x20) embedded in barcodes. Control characters can be replaced with user-defined text which can include hat encoded or hex encoded values. In key message mode, control characters can also be translated to their control code equivalent key sequences.
Replacement The edit control where the user types the characters to be assigned as the replacement of the control character. Replacements for a control character are assigned by selecting the appropriate character from the Character drop down box, typing the replacement in the Replacement edit control (according to the formats defined above) and then clicking the button. The assigned replacement is then added to the list box above the Assign button.
l Min / Max l Code ID l Leading / Trailing l Barcode Data l Prefix / Suffix Note: When Enable Code ID is set to None on the Barcode tab and when All is selected in the Symbology field, Enable and Strip Code ID on the Symbology panel are grayed and the user is not allowed to change them, to prevent deactivating the scanner completely.
This field specifies the minimum length that the barcode data (not including Code ID) must meet to be processed. Any barcode scanned that is less than the number of characters specified in the Min field is rejected. The default for this field is 1. Max This field specifies the maximum length that the barcode data (not including Code ID) can be processed. Any barcode scanned that has more characters than specified in the Max field is rejected. The default for this field is All (9999).
Barcode Data Match Edit Buttons Add Entering data into the text entry box enables the Add button. Tap the Add button and the data is added to the next empty location in the Custom ID list. Insert Tap on an empty line in the Custom ID list. The Add button changes to Insert. Enter data into both the Name and ID Code fields and tap the Insert button. The data is added to the selected line in the Custom IDs list. Edit Double tap on the item to edit. Its values are copied to the text boxes for editing.
l The question mark wildcard ? may be used to match any single character in the incoming data. For example, the data AB?D will match ABCD, ABcD, or AB0D, but not ABDE. l The Barcode Data is saved per symbology configured. The Symbology selected in the Symbologies dialog defines the symbology for which the data is being configured. l Note that the Code ID (if any are configured) is ignored by this dialog, regardless of the setting of Strip: Code ID in the Symbologies dialog.
l 34 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 18) l 26 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 10) l 24 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 8). This 24 character barcode is Code 128. l 20 character length with first two characters = “00” (strip first 0 (no characters) and last 4) On the Barcode tab, set Enable Code ID to Custom.

Chapter 4: Enabler Installation and Configuration Introduction This section discusses Honeywell supported features with Wavelink Avalanche Mobile Device Servers. This section is split into three basic areas: l Installation l User Interface l Enabler Configuration Installation To use the Wavelink Avalanche MC System, the following items are required: l A desktop or laptop PC on which to install the Avalanche MC Console.
l If present, it assumes the RMU.CE.CAB file is already installed and continues. l If the file RMU.CE.CAB file is not present, it looks for the file in the \System\RMU folder. l If present, the Enabler copies the file to the \System folder and installs it. At this point, the OS will automatically install the Remote Management Utility (RMU) after the VX7 reboots.
6. Click the OK button to save the changes. 7. Reboot the VX7 if necessary.
Update Monitoring Overview There are three methods by which the Enabler on the VX7 can communicate with the Mobile Device Server running on the host machine. l Wired via a serial cable between the Mobile Device Server PC and the VX7. l Wired via a USB connection, using ActiveSync, between the Mobile Device Server PC and the VX7. l Wirelessly via the VX7 2.
Mobile Device Wireless and Network Settings Once the connection to the Mobile Device Server is established, the VX7 Enabler attempts to apply all network and wireless settings contained in the active profile. The success of the application of settings is dependent upon the local configuration of control parameters for the Enabler. These local parameters cannot be overridden from the Avalanche MC Console.
Preparing a Device for Remote Management Two additional utilities are necessary for remote management. These utilities are included on mobile devices manufactured after April 2007. l The Remote Management Utility (RMU) must be installed on all mobile devices first – then you can control mobile device reboot, storage RAM adjustment, real-time updates and Avalanche Enabler properties. If the RMU is not already installed on the VX7, see Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System Baseline.
Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System Baseline This procedure assumes the Avalanche Enabler is already installed on the VX7 and is already in communication with the Avalanche MC Console. Part 1 – Bootstrapping the RMU 1. Install the RMUCEbt package into the Avalanche MC Console. Do NOT include the Reboot option as part of the configuration (i.e. the Reboot button in the “Reboot Options” branch must be unbolded). 2. Enable ONLY the RMUCEbt package in the Avalanche MC Console and update the devices.
User Interface The Enabler can be configured and controlled manually through the user interface on the VX7. This section details the functionality that can be controlled by the user or system administrator.

Certificates Note: Please refer to the Security Primer to prepare the Authentication Server and Access Point for communication. Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the VX7 and host computers when using any type of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail. Quick Start Root Certificates are necessary for EAP-TLS, PEAP/GTC and PEAP/MSCHAP. 1. Generate a Root CA Certificate and download it to a PC. 2.
Click the Download a CA certificate, certificate chain or CRL link. Make sure the correct root CA certificate is selected in the list box.
Click the DER button. To download the CA certificate, click on the Download CA certificate link. Click the Save button and save the certificate. Make sure to keep track of the name and location of the certificate. Install the certificate on the VX7.
Installing a Root CA Certificate Note: This section is only if the Windows certificate store is used. If the certificate store is not used, copy the certificate to the \System folder or other path specified in the Summit Certs global parameter. Copy the certificate file to the VX7. Import the certificate by navigating to Start > Control Panel > Certificates. Tap the Import button. Make sure From a File is selected and tap OK.
Using the explorer buttons, browse to the location where you copied the certificate, select the certificate desired and tap OK. Tap Yes to import the certificate. Once the certificate is installed, return to the proper authentication section, earlier in this manual. Generating a User Certificate The easiest way to get the user certificate is to use a browser on a PC to navigate to the Certificate Authority. To request the user certificate, open a browser to http:///certsrv.
This process saves a user certificate and a separate private key file. Windows CE equipped devices such as the VX7 require the private key to be saved as a separate file rather than including the private key in the user certificate. Click the Request a certificate link.
Click on the advanced certificate request link. Click on the Create and submit a request to this CA link.
For the Certificate Template, select User. Check the Mark keys as exportable and the Export keys to file checkboxes. Type the full path on the local PC where the private key is to be copied. Also specify the private key filename.
Be sure to note the name used for the private key file, for example USER1.PVK. The certificate file created later in this process must be given the same name, for example, USER1.CER. DO NOT check to use strong private key protection. Make any other desired changes and click the Submit button. If any script notifications occur, click the “Yes button to continue the certificate request.
Click the Download certificate link. Click Save to download and store the user certificate to the PC. Make sure to keep track of the name and location of the certificate. The private key file is also downloaded and saved during this process. Be sure use the same name for the certificate file as was used for the private key file. For example, it the private key was saved as USER1.PVK then the certificate file created must be given the same name, for example, USER1.CER. Install the user certificate.
Tap the Import button. Make sure From a File is selected and tap OK. Using the explorer buttons, browse to the location where you copied the certificate, select the certificate desired and tap OK. The certificate is now shown in the list.
With the certificate you just imported highlighted, tap View. From the Field pull down menu, select Private Key. l If the private key is present, the process is complete. l If the private key is not present, import the private key. To import the private key, tap OK to return to the Certificates screen. Tap import. Using the explorer buttons, browse to the location where you copied the private key file, change the Type pull down list to Private Keys, select the certificate desired and tap OK.
Verify Installation Tap on View to see the certificate details again. The private key should now say present. If it does not, there is a problem. Possible items to check: l Make sure the certificate was generated with a separate private key file, as shown earlier in this section. If the certificate was not generated with a separate private key file, generate a new certificate and follow the import process again. l Make sure the certificate and private key file have the same name, for example USER1.
