Chapter 4 Application Deployment Introduction This chapter describes features in Windows Mobile including new security features, how to package applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the MC55. Security The MC55 implements a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run and, if allowed, with what level of trust.
4-2 MC55 Integrator Guide This means that only applications signed with a certificate from the Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store can run. To support the broadest number of deployments, third-party software developers should perform the following when releasing software for a Windows Mobile 6 devices: • Sign all their EXEs & DLLs with their private key • Provide the corresponding public certificate to end-users so that it can be installed into Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store.
Application Deployment 4-3 Installing Certificates Use XML provisioning to query and delete certificates from certificate stores. To add a new certificate the Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store, use the following sample provisioning document:
4-4 MC55 Integrator Guide may not work properly. Refer to the Windows Mobile Version 6 Help file for finding information on Remote API security policies. Packaging NOTE Applications compiled for Windows Mobile 6 are not backward-compatible with previous versions. Packaging combines an application's executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier to deploy and install an application to the MC55.
Application Deployment 4-5 • Open the Storage Card directory. • Tap the package CAB file. The application installs on the MC55. Installation Using USB Connection To install an application or copy files to the MC55 using a USB connection: 1. On the MC55, tap Start > Settings > System > USB Config icon. MC5574/90 MC55A0 Figure 4-1 USBConfig Window 2. Tap USB Client radio button. 3. On the MC5574/90: 4. a. In the drop-down list, select Mass Storage. b.
4-6 MC55 Integrator Guide Installation Using AirBEAM The AirBEAM Smart Client provides backward-compatible legacy AirBEAM functionality and backward-compatible legacy MSP 2.x Level 2 Agent functionality. Refer to the AirBEAM Smart Windows CE Client Product Reference Guide, p/n 72-63060-xx, for instructions for AirBEAM Smart client. Mobility Services Platform The MSP 3 Client Software is a set of software components that come pre-installed on the MC55.
Application Deployment 7. 4-7 The calibration screen appears. microSD Card To install an update loader package using a microSD card: 1. Copy all the update loader package files to the root directory of a microSD card. 2. Install the microSD card into the MC55. See Installing a microSD Card on page 1-2 for installation instructions. 3. Connect the MC55 to AC power. See Chapter 2, Accessories. 4. Perform a cold boot. 5.
4-8 MC55 Integrator Guide XML Provisioning To configure the settings on an MC55, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the MC55, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file: _setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the XML code and uses it to provision and configure the MC55. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating success or failure.
Application Deployment 4-9 The following example uses RegMerge to set a registry key: SampleReg.reg [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Backlight] “BacklightIntensity”=dword:00000036 The following example uses XML provisioning to perform the same task: SampleReg.
4 - 10 MC55 Integrator Guide Storage Mobile 6 contains three types of file storage: • Random Access Memory (RAM) • Persistent Storage • Application folder. Random Access Memory Executing programs use RAM to store data. Data stored in RAM is lost upon a warm boot. RAM also included a volatile file storage area called Cache Disk.
Application Deployment 4 - 11 • 128 MB RAM/256 MB Flash configurations: 32 MB (formatted) • 128 MB RAM/512 MB Flash configurations: 32 MB (formatted) • 256 MB RAM/1 GB Flash configurations (MC55A0 only): 118 MB (formatted).

Registry keys on the MC55 have to be modified to enable and control this feature.
Chapter 7 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Introduction This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the MC55, and provides troubleshooting solutions for potential problems during MC55 operation. Maintaining the MC55 For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the MC55: • Do not scratch the screen of the MC55. When working with the MC55, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen.
7-2 MC55 Integrator Guide • A screen protector is applied to the MC55. Motorola recommends using this to minimize wear and tear. Screen protectors enhance the usability and durability of touch screen displays. Benefits include: • Protection from scratches and gouges • Durable writing and touch surface with tactile feel • Abrasion and chemical resistance • Glare reduction • Keeping the device’s screen looking new • Quick and easy installation.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 7-3 Cleaning CAUTION Always wear eye protection. Read warning label on compressed air and alcohol product before using. If you have to use any other solution for medical reasons please contact Motorola for more information. WARNING! Avoid exposing this product to contact with hot oil or other flammable liquids. If such exposure occurs, unplug the device and clean the product immediately in accordance with these guidelines.
7-4 MC55 Integrator Guide Cleaning the MC55 Housing Using the alcohol wipes, wipe the housing including keys and in-between keys. Display The display can be wiped down with the alcohol wipes, but care should be taken not to allow any pooling of liquid around the edges of the display. Immediately dry the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 8. 7-5 Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry before applying power to cradle. If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and dry humidity requires less drying time. Cleaning Frequency The cleaning frequency is up to the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile devices are used.
