For Operation

2.1 Preparing The 7530 For Operation

Typically, 7530 hand-helds are configured at the factory and arrive ready for use.

Although the 7530 is equipped with an internal Compact Flash and SD I/O slot, these slots are not intended for user modification. If a device needs to be changed or added in these slots, contact qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. Refer to

Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices for the service number closest to you.

2.1.1 Equipment You Need To Get Started

You’ll need:

• A 7530 compatible battery charger, docking station or portable docking module (PDM) with power supply.

• An operating wireless network (if you are not operating the equipment in batch mode).

• A medium Phillips head screwdriver.

2.1.2 Charging The Battery

Important: The 753 0 uses a high capacity Lithium-Ion battery. It is critical that you review the battery safety guidelines in “Lithium-Ion

Battery Safety Precautions” on page 252 before charging the battery.

Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be fully charged prior to use. Full capacity may not be reached until at least 5 full charge/discharge cycles have been performed.

7530 batteries can be charged using a gang charger or the 7535 internal charger.

When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories beginning on page 254.

2.1.3 Attaching Carrying Accessories

Psion Teklogix recommends that a carrying accessory – a hand strap, pistol grip or shoulder strap – be installed on the 7530 before use.

If your hand-held is not fitted with a hand strap or pistol grip, you can install either using the carrying accessory kit supplied. You’ll need:

• A Phillips head screwdriver.

Authentication

802.11 supports two subtypes of network authentication services:

Open

and

Shared

. Under

Open

authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.

Under

Shared

authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.

Network Key:

This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active

WEP key on the access point.

Enable 802.1x authentication

“802.1X” is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS or MD5 encapsulated in an “EAP” is used in conjunction with the “802.1x” standard to authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed in the dropdown menu next to the

‘EAP’

option.

• To activate “802.1X”, press <TAB> to highlight

‘Enable 802.1x authentication’

, and press the <SPACE> key to enable (

√

) it.

EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol):

This dropdown menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The items in this dropdown menu will vary depending on your network setup.

Keep in mind also that some authentication protocols require that you select a ‘Certificate’. By selecting the

Properties

button, you will be able to select a

Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 105 provides a website that outlines how to create certificates for your network.

6. Saving and exiting the radio setup.

Once you have completed your configuration, press <ENTER> or tap on

OK

.

The connection you created will be listed in the

Wireless Information

tab as a preferred network. The radio will search for the SSID and will compare the WEP and authentication information you specified. If there is a match between your 7530 settings and the access point settings, the 7530 will communicate on the network through the access point.

Hand-Held On And Off

• Combo Docking Station (Model #HU4002) – operates as both a charger and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the computer and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously.

• Quad Docking Station (Model #HU4004) – can charge the battery of up to four 7530s inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an

Ethernet connection.

• Powered Cradle (Model #HU1000, HU1010) – can charge the 7530 with the battery installed in the hand-held.

It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The 7535’s intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.

Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 53 for additional information about the 753 0 battery.

Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process until the battery temperature is between 0˚C (32˚F) and

39˚C (102˚F). If the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status

LED flashes yellow and the charge is suspended. Refer to

Table 3.1, “Charge LEDs” on page 43 for details.

3.3 Switching The 7530 Hand-Held On And Off

Switching On The 7530

• Press and hold down the <ENTER/ON> key for at least one second.

• When all four LEDs flash orange, release the <ENTER/ON> button.

A splash screen displaying the Psion Teklogix logo and the Microsoft®

Windows® CE. net logo appears followed by the startup desktop.

Note: If the 753 0 is in suspend state, pressing <ENTER/ON> key ‘wakes’ the unit from this state. The screen in which you were working before the computer entered suspend state is displayed.

The Keyboard

Switching Off The 7530

Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 753 0 does not result in a complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving,

“suspend” state. When the 753 0 is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.

To switch off the 7530:

• Press the <BLUE> key, and then press the <ENTER/ON> key.

Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar area at the bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” – the 7535 will not switch off. Press the <BLUE> key again to unlock it; then press <BLUE> <ENTER/ON> to switch the 7535 off.

If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dialogue box (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94), the 7535 can be turned off even when the <BLUE> key is locked ‘on’.

3.4 The Keyboard

The 7530 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 58-key keyboard and a 36-key, large button keyboard. Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.

The <BLUE> and <ORANGE> modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the keyboard keys.

3.4.1 Modifier Keys

The <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a 58-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the

<4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4.

Activating Modifier Keys

The <SHIFT>, <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.

3.4.1.1

Activating Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. For example, if the <CTRL> key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.

3.4.1.2

Locking Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the <BLUE> key twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.

The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.

Note: The locking function of the <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys can be disabled so that pressing either of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’.

If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of either of these keys, pressing the

<BLUE> and/or <ORANGE> key once will lock the key ‘on’. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off ’. Refer to “Keyboard

One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details.

3.4.2 The Keys

The <SHIFT> Key

The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow – up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.

The 58-Key Keyboard

The <BKSP/DEL> Key

The <BKSP> key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.

The <DEL> key (<BLUE> <BKSP>) erases the character at the cursor position.

The <CTRL> And <ALT> Key

The <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent.

The <TAB> Key

Typically, the <TAB> key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.

The <ESC> Key

Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialogue box or activity and return to the previous one.

The <SPACE> Key

Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue box, pressing the <SPACE> key enables (

√

) or disables a checkbox.

The <SCAN> Key

Pressing the <SCAN> key – the yellow key with the star-burst scan symbol on it – activates the scanner beam while pressed. For units that do not have internal scanners, this key is inoperable.

3.4.3 The 58-Key Keyboard

In addition to alphanumeric keys that are directly accessible on the keyboard (no key combination is required) and the keys described in this chapter, the 58-key keyboard also provides function keys and macro keys.

Function keys <F1> through <F24> can be used with the CE operating system or another application. The additional function keys – <F25> through <F30> along with the macros are not used as part of the Windows CE operating system.

All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The

Tekterm application utilizes these keys. Refer to “Additional Keyboard Functions” on page 147 for details about Tekterm keys.

The 36-Key Keyboard

3.4.4 The 36-Key Keyboard

On 36-key 7530s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange typeface above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must first press the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you want to type is printed.

Because the alpha keys on a 36-key keyboard are laid out much like the letters on a telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples in this section help illustrate how to access alpha characters.

Choosing A Single Alpha Character

If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as an arrow

⇒ symbol above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the 7535 to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the same key.

For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are all accessible from the numeric key, <2>.

To type the letter ‘a’:

• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and then press the numeric key, <2>.

• Press the ‘Accept’ key <

⇒

> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.

To type the letter ‘b’:

• Press the <2> key twice.

• Press <

⇒

> to accept the letter ‘b’.

To type the letter ‘c’:

• Press the <2> key three times.

When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the following:

• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s), leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that supports the alpha character you require.

• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press

<ORANGE> again to unlock or turn ‘off’ the key and end alpha selection.

Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of Keys

If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are

not required to press the ‘Accept’ <

Important: For detailed scanner specifications and decode zone tables, refer to “Internal Scanner Specifications” beginning on page 281.

The scanner installed in your unit can be configured using the Scanner Properties dialogue box in the Control Panel .

The 7535 can be equipped with a:

• One dimensional (1D) internal laser scanner,

• Internal PDF laser scanner, or a

• Two dimensional (2D) internal imager scanner.

It is critical that you review the warnings listed in “Laser Warnings” on page xvi in the Approvals and Safety section at the beginning of this manual before using any of the scanners described in this chapter. “Scanning Techniques” outlines the mechanics of a successful scan. In addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 49 to better understand how to interpret whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on page 50 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.

Scanning Techniques

3.7.1 Scanning Techniques

Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners.

• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.

• Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.

• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on either end of the symbol.

• If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped framing mark is centered within the bar code you want to scan.

• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.

• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.

3.7.2 Scan LED Indicators

The 7535 scanner LED (the lower-left LED) indicates whether or not your scan is successful. The LED behaves as follows:

• Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.

• Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when the scan is ended.

• Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.

A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the onscreen message states – SCANNING. If the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is released.

Troubleshooting

3.7.3 Troubleshooting

If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:

• Is the 7530 on?

• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7530 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code.

• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.

• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.

• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware problem in the 7530.

• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?

• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.

3.7.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners

• Turn the 7530 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.

Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after which normal scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on page 120 for details.

Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.

• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.

Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners

3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners

This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.

• Turn the 7530 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.

• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed.

3.7.6 Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager Scanners

An imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree angle to the 7530 will be decoded successfully.

Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are within the field of view, not all of them may be decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes.

When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the field of view of the scanner.

Because imager scanners generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the 7535.

Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner.

• Turn the 7530 computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.

• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger.

Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals

• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field – either in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned.

Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken.

3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals

Tethered peripherals such as scanners and printers connect to the hand-held computer with a quick release, circular connector. When a peripheral is connected to the hand-held, the 7535 detects the peripheral and loads the necessary drivers for it.

An icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of the peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation.

To attach the peripheral to the round, tether port on the side of the 7530:

• Insert the barrel of the plug into the tether port and rotate slowly until it clicks into place. The red dot on the port and on the connector should be aligned.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

To remove the peripheral:

• Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector.

Figure 3.9 Disconnecting The Tether Cable

Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell.

3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

Under normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 10 hours. As

Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the 7530 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.

Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7530 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:

• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible.

• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.

Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible.

• The 7535 battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than nominal.

Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides detailed information about the battery status and performance. If the remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recalibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and

charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary.

• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week – in this case, the battery should be removed.

• Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. This recalibrates the gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capacity of the battery.

• The hand-held can determine when the useful life of the battery has expired and will notify the user. Chargers may reject batteries that have exceeded their lifespan.

Storing Batteries

3.9.1 Storing Batteries

Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:

• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.

• Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C.

• Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit.

• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.

• A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods.

3.10 Monitoring The Network Connection

If your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the communication link.

To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:

• Press <BLUE> <0> to display the Start Menu .

• Choose System Tray from the menu.

• Use the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon in the taskbar.

• Press <ENTER> to display the wireless statistics box dialogue box.

If you have a touchscreen:

• Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the wireless statistics dialogue box.

Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging in again.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station

3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station

The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7530 to link to an

Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7530 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7530 screen. The 7530 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7530 before preforming data uploads.

3.12 General Maintenance

3.12.1 Caring For The Touchscreen

The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating.

The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:

• mustard,

• sodium hydroxide,

• concentrated caustic solutions,

• benzyl alcohol, and

• concentrated miner acids.

If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (PN HU6110). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.

3.12.2 Cleaning The 7530

Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean.

• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The

7530 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.

• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Navigating In Windows CE And Applications

4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications

Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows

(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.

Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (provided your

7530 is equipped with a touchscreen).

4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus

Note: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 41.

A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7530 equipped with a touchscreen has a

stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7530.

The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.

Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with your 753 0 .

To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:

• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

Switch State To Suspend

Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. Setting ‘Switch State To Suspend’ to ‘Never’ will adversely affect the battery run time.

To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display

Backlight” on page 89).

When the 7535 is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on), the hand-held uses the value assigned in the

Switch State To Suspend

field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off).

When the time in the

Suspend

state. In

Suspend

state, the 7530 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing <ENTER> wakes the system from suspend state. When the 7530 is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.

Display Parameters

Scan Result

When this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen.

Chapter 5: Configuration

Scanner Options

Scan Indicator

When this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner is activated.

Scan Result Time (sec)

The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter.

Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.

Scan Beep

This parameter determines whether or not the 7535 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a scan is performed. Set this parameter to either ‘ON’ to enable the beeper or

‘OFF’ to disable it.

Scan Log File

If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the ‘Scan

Log File’ is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log file is written to persistent storage.

Double Click Parameters

Click Time (msec)

This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click.

If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000 . A value of zero disables this feature.

A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click

Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the

“Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click

Data” value rather than initiating a scan.

Click Data

For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your 7535 following a double-click.

A dialogue box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The

ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.

Options

Dot Time (msec)

The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. The allowable values are: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.

Short Code

When enabled (set to ‘ON’), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.

Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the

7535 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.

Verify

The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve the reliability of the decoded bar code.

Security

This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes

(Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. The default value of

30 is generally a good compromise setting.

AIAG Strip

If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the AIAG data identifier is removed from each decoded Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to the Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the general category or specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.

Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature.

This is because the 753 0 hand-held performs the strip function before it processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the data is not identified as AIAG.

Error Accept

If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (set to ‘ON’), all label data without an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the label data is not accepted.

When “Addendum” is set to Disabled, the scanner does not recognize an addendum. If this parameter is set to Optional, the scanner searches for an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When the parameter is set to Required, the scanner does not accept the main bar code without an addendum.

Prefix/Suffix

Prefix Char

This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you want to insert in the dialogue box attached to this parameter. The

ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.

Suffix Char

This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you want to insert in the dialogue box attached to this parameter. The

ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.

Strip Leading

This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added.

Note: The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character. For example, if <BKSP> is pressed, the usual action for that key is performed. If your 753 0 is operating with the Psion Teklogix ANSI emulation application, the hand-held transmits the escape sequence associated with the function immediately after the bar code data.

Strip Trailing

The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the end of the bar code before the suffix character is added.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup

5.8 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol used to monitor and manage devices attached to a TCP/IP network (providing they support SNMP).

SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that define the variables an

SNMP Network Management Station can access. Each product has a defined set of

MIBs that determine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on.

All Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB – a MIB that defines some common features across Teklogix products. All devices also support

MIB-II, a management information base that defines the common features of

TCP/IP networks. The SNMP Agent software embedded in the 7530 product supports SNMPv1 (RFC 1157).

The Tekterm Application

6.1 The Tekterm Application

Tekterm is a powerful emulation application ideally suited for real time data transaction applications associated with mainframes and servers. The 7535 includes unique features that support Tekterm – a Psion Teklogix application that has the ability to maintain multiple simultaneous sessions with a variety of host computers.

6.2 Additional Keyboard Functions

In addition to the standard keyboard functions (see “The Keyboard” on page 35),

Tekterm supports function keys, softkeys and macro keys.

6.2.1 Function Keys And Softkeys

6.2.1.1 Function Keys

The 7535 is equipped with a series of function keys each of which is defined in the application software. Depending on the type of keyboard your 7535 has – 58-key or

36-key – the number and location of the function keys on the keyboard varies slightly.

58-Key Keyboard Function Keys

The 58-key keyboard is equipped with thirty function keys. Function keys <F1> to

<F6> are located across the top of the keyboard and are directly accessible – a key combination is not required. Function keys <F7> to <F30> are colour coded in blue print above the alpha keys and are accessed using a key combination – <BLUE> followed by the appropriate alpha key.

To access function keys <F7> to <F30>:

• Press the <BLUE> key followed by the alpha key to which the function key you want to use is mapped. For example:

To access function key <F7>, press <BLUE> <C>.

6.5.1 Configuration

Note: Each TESS session must have a unique name assigned to it. The title you assign will be displayed in the Display Menu.

The process of renaming an existing TESS session and adding a new session is described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 194.

A unique number must be assigned in the “Terminal #” parameter for each TESS session. Refer to “Terminal #” in the section titled “TESS Settings” on page 212 for details.

6.5.2 Working With Multiple Sessions

To display another session in TESS:

• Go to the startup ‘Display Menu’. If you are in a TESS session, press

<CTRL><ALT><0> to go to the ‘Display Menu’.

• Type the letter corresponding to the application you want to launch.

For example, suppose the sessions are listed in the “Display Menu” as

‘ D TESS1 ’ and ‘ E TESS2 ’. To launch the session named TESS2 , type the letter e.

6.5.3 The Field Types

Fixed Field – displays information that cannot be changed from the keyboard.

Entry Field – allows the operator to enter data. This type of field is usually shown as: “........”

Match Field – the host computer loads data in the format of the expected entry. If the entered data does not match the expected format, the unit emits a long beep.

<BKSP> Key Behaviour In TESS

6.5.5.3 <BKSP> Key Behaviour In TESS

Field mode

Replace mode

• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character directly to the left of the cursor and then moves the cursor one position to the left. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is opened.

• In a right justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned and shifts the remaining characters to the right by one position. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is opened.

• If the <BKSP> key is pressed when the field is empty, the 7535 emits a keyboard error beep.

• The <BKSP> key does not delete data pre-filled by the host application.

• If the <BKSP> key is pressed in a field that has not been modified, the

7535 emits a keyboard error beep.

• If data is entered into a field and is then deleted before the field is completed, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted.

• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned unless it is one position to the right of the last character in the string; in this case, the <BKSP> key erases the character to the left of the cursor.

• In a right justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned. The remaining characters are then shifted to the left of the cursor, and the cursor is shifted to the right by one position.

• If the <BKSP> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most character position of the field, the cursor does not shift to the left when that character is erased; it remains in the right most position in the field.

• When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty – that is, any pre-filled data is not displayed. Pressing the <BKSP> key in the empty field results in a keyboard error beep.

• The <BKSP> key can delete data pre-filled by the host application.

• If data is entered in a field and is then deleted before the field is completed, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted.

• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> function erases the character on which the cursor is positioned, unless it is at the right end of the character string; in this case, it erases the character to the left of the cursor.

When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty, and any further <BKSP> functions in the empty field result in a keyboard error beep.

• In a right justified field, the <BKSP> function erases the character that is to the right of the cursor and then shifts the data remaining to the right one position.

• If the <BKSP> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most character position of that field, the cursor does not shift to the left when that character is erased; it remains in the right-most position in the field.

• When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty – i.e. any pre-filled data is not displayed. Pressing the BKSP key in the empty field sounds a keyboard error beep.

• The <BKSP> key can delete data pre-filled by the host application.

• If data is entered into a field and then deleted before the field is completed, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted.

• Refer to “Field Mode” at the beginning of this table. The <BKSP> key operates in exactly the same manner in “Fcursor mode” as it does in “Field mode”.

6.5.6 TESS Status Message

• Press <CTRL> <S> to continuously display the status message in the lower left corner of the screen.

• Press <CTRL> <W> to make this message appear only when the 7535 locks. The message should look similar to the sample below:

Lock Messages

6.5.7 Lock Messages

When information is transmitted to the host computer, the keyboard locks to prevent further data entry until the 7535 receives a reply. A locked state is indicated by either “LOCK-B” (base) or “LOCK-H” (host) in the lower left corner of the display.

When the reply is received by the 7535, the lock message disappears and the keyboard can be used again.

6.5.8 Control Commands

A group of <CTRL> key commands can be used within TESS to dictate how the

7535 will operate under a variety of conditions.

• <CTRL> <P> – Reprints the last print page sent from the host. This key combination will not print anything if a print page from the host was not previously received at the 7535 hand-held.

• <CTRL> <S> – Displays the 7535 status continuously. Below is a sample status line as it might appear at the bottom of your screen:

Lock-B/Lock-H fld enh “ application name”

• <CTRL> <W> – Displays the 7535 status when the unit is in “Lock B” or

“Lock H” mode. The status line would be similar to the sample above.

• <CTRL><T> – Displays the 7535 status with the terminal number instead of the name.

Lock-B/Lock-H rep “ terminal nn”

• <CTRL> <H> – Displays a menu of available hosts.

Queuing Mode

6.5.12 Queuing Mode

In some applications, queuing mode can decrease the computer lock time. In queuing mode, the host computer may send several pages to a 7530 without waiting for a response. These pages are stored in a queue within the 7530 hand-held. The operator completes the entries on the first page and then, presses a function key.

The 7530 simultaneously transmits to the host and displays the next page in the queue. The computer does not lock, allowing the operator to enter data on the next page immediately. This continues as long as there are pages in the queue.

Queuing mode is used for repetitive tasks, and the queued screens look identical.

The 7530 displays a “Next” message indicating that a new page is on the display.

“Next” messages also contain information about radio communications: “NEXT-B” indicates that the 7535 has data to transmit to the base station. “NEXT-H” indicates that the base station has acknowledged a transmission. Unlike lock messages, “Next” messages do not lock the keyboard. Keying is allowed while

“Next” messages are displayed.

While queuing mode may improve apparent response time, it can present difficulties to hosts that are operating in real time. It should only be used after careful consideration of the host environment. The 7530 must be configured for queuing mode (see the “Queuing” parameter on page 219). Additional information on queuing can be found in the TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) Manual.

6.6 ANSI Emulation

The Psion Teklogix 7530 in ANSI mode operates like most other ANSI terminals.

This means software that supports ANSI terminals requires little or no changes.

6.6.1 Configuration

To configure the 7530 for ANSI mode, the “Name” and “Type” of session – in this case, ANSI – must be specified in the Applications menu. This menu is described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 194.

Next, a unique number must be assigned using the “Terminal #” parameter. This number should be unique across the entire system – that is, each 7530 and each application session in each 7530 across your system must have a unique number assigned. This parameter is described in the section titled “ANSI Settings” on page 195.

Once the 7530 is configured, an ANSI operation can be selected from the startup

“Display Menu”.

Sending Data To The Host

6.6.2 Sending Data To The Host

7530 hand-helds running ANSI sessions transmit characters to the host as soon as they are typed. The 7530 provides parameters that determine when the computer transmits characters to the host.

The 7530 can be configured to transmit after a number of characters are typed in (the “Xmit Count” parameter) or after some time has elapsed (the “Xmit Wait” parameter), or both. This reduces overhead on the radio link and improves response time. See page 202 for more information about these parameters.

You can also determine whether the 7530 transmits immediately after the

<ENTER> key, an arrow key, or a function key is pressed.

The 7530 computer also responds immediately to the device attribute requests

“CSIc”, “CSI0c” and “ESCZ”.

Note: For a more detailed description of the parameter settings for ANSI, refer to “ANSI Settings” on page 195.

Auto Radio Addr

If this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), a request is sent to the network controller to assign a radio address to the hand-held computer radio.

If “Auto Radio Addr” is set to “N”, the value entered in the “Radio Address” parameter is used. (Refer to "Radio Address" in this section for details about manually assigned radio addresses.)

Important: Ensure that all 753 0 s grouped in the system use the same addressing process – that is, if you choose to use automatic radio addressing, use this addressing process for all units operating in the same system. If you choose to assign radio addresses manually using the “Radio Address” parameter, use this process for all units in the same system.

System Parameters

Radio Address

The value entered in the “Radio address” parameter is used to identify the

7530 over the radio link. A unique value from 1 to 3840 must be assigned for each 7530 hand-held computer.

Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)

Round trip time is the elapsed time between a hand-held computer transmission and an access point acknowledgement. Each 7535 continuously adjusts the acceptable round trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmissions. If an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time calculated, the computer will resend the transmission.

Because 7530s cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The computer uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round trip calculations. Once the 7530 begins transmitting and receiving data, this value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmissions and acknowledgements.

Protocol Type

“Protocol Type” is used to identify the Ethernet packet frame type sent by the 7530.

The default value – 2457 – assigned to this parameter identifies the Teklogix 802.IQ protocol Ethernet packet frame types.

The “Protocol Type ID” should only be altered if the default value is already being used to specify another application Ethernet frame type.

Important: If you change the value assigned to “Protocol Type ID”, ensure that all 753 0 s and 9150s in your system use the same number.

Splitting And Displaying Screens

6.17.1.1 Splitting And Displaying Screens

Before splitting the screen, you need to determine which applications should appear in each pane of the split screen. The available applications are listed in the main

“Display Menu”. Each application listed in the “Display Menu” is preceded by a letter – for example, Parameters is preceded by an A . This letter is used in the

“View IDs” string entry field to fix each pane of a split screen to a corresponding application.

If you need to display the startup “Display Menu”:

• Press <CTRL> <ALT><0>.

To split a screen:

• With the cursor on the “Type” parameter, use the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to scroll through the types of split screens available.

The vertical and horizontal lines displayed at the “Type” parameter indicate how the screen will be split – for example, in the sample screen on page 190, the vertical lines indicate the screen will be vertically split into two segments. The screen can also be split horizontally 3 ways or 4 ways.

Once you’ve indicated how you want to split the screen in the “Type” parameter:

• Use the <DOWN> arrow key to move the cursor to the “View IDs” parameter.

• For each application you want to display, type the letter corresponding to the application.

For example, suppose you want to split the screen into two vertical segments with the Parameters menu in the left pane of the screen and a TESS session in the right pane. In the “Display Menu”, the letter A represents “ Parameters ” and B represents “ TESS ”. The “Type” and

“View ID” values would be represented as follows:

Moving Between Split Screens

6.17.1.2 Moving Between Split Screens

To move the cursor from one pane in a split screen to the next:

• Press <CTRL> <RIGHT> or <LEFT>. The cursor moves in order from the left-most pane to the right and from the top-most pane to the bottom.

6.17.1.3 Toggling Between Full & Split Screens

To toggle between a split and full screen format:

• Press <CTRL> <DOWN> arrow.

The application displayed when toggling from a split to a full screen format is determined by the cursor location in the split screen. For example, if the cursor is in the pane of a split screen in which the TESS application is displayed and

<CTRL> <DOWN> is pressed to display a full screen, the TESS application will be displayed in the full screen.

6.17.1.4 Using The Asterisk As A Wild Card

When a screen is split, the application displayed in each pane is fixed in the “View

IDs” parameter. Using an asterisk * in the “View IDs” parameter indicates that a particular pane in the split screen is not fixed to any particular application and can be changed as required.

For example, suppose you want to split the screen into two vertical segments with the left pane containing the “Parameters” menu and the right pane containing no fixed application. The “Type” and “View IDs” parameters would be completed as follows:

04 Split screen

To change the application displayed in the pane with no fixed application:

• If the cursor is not currently in the pane, press <CTRL> <RIGHT> or

• Press <CTRL> <ALT><0> to display the startup “Display Menu”.

• Type the letter corresponding to the new application you want to display.

Xmit Count

This parameter determines how many characters from the keyboard or scanner are buffered by the 7535 before being transmitted to the host. If 0 (zero) is selected, the hand-held transmits only according to the “Xmit Wait” parameter. If the ANSI block mode features are used, this parameter should be set to 99.

Note: If the 7535 is not in local edit mode, the <ENTER>, arrow, <CTRL>, and function keys cause an immediate radio transmission regardless of the “Xmit Count” parameter setting.

Xmit Wait

This parameter determines the length of time the 7530 collects keystrokes before transmitting them to the host. This value is specified in increments of one 10th of a second (i.e., a value of 10 represents 1 second). If 0 (zero) is selected, the computer transmits only according to the “Xmit Count” parameter.

Note: If the 753 0 is not in local edit mode, the <ENTER>, arrow, <CTRL>, and function keys cause an immediate radio transmission regardless of the “Xmit Wait” parameter setting.

Dev Attr

This string entry parameter specifies a device attribute string. This string can be up to 16 characters long. The computer sends this string to the host when it receives a

DA or DECID control. The example shown in the “Xmit Modes” screen sample on page 202 is the device attribute sent to a VAX, identifying the Psion Teklogix handheld computer as a VT220 terminal. This parameter may or may not be set, depending on the requirements of the host computer.

Auto-Answer

This string can be up to 30 characters long and is sent by the 7530 as a reply to an “ENQ” character from the host. The “Auto-Answer” string is programmable in the same manner as the keyboard macros. For example, this string can be used to automatically send the username and password when logging into the host. Refer to "Macro Control Panel" beginning on page 181 for additional details about macros.

7 bit

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the hand-held computer transmits 8 bit controls. When enabled (set to “Y”), the hand-held transmits 7 bit controls. This parameter applies to character mode, block mode, and media copy mode.

When enabled (set to “Y”), both guarded and unguarded data can be transmitted to the host or transferred to the console or serial ports.

MATM

When the Multiple Area Transfer Mode (MATM) parameter is disabled (set to “N”), only the selected area containing the cursor can be transmitted to the host or transferred to the console or serial ports. When enabled (set to “Y”), all selected areas can be transmitted to the host or transferred to the console or serial ports.

This mode is significant only if the Selected Area Transfer Mode (SATM) is disabled.

SATM

When the Selected Area Transfer Mode (SATM) parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the selected areas defined by SSA/ESA and DAQ can be transmitted to the host or transferred to the console or serial ports. When enabled (set to “Y”), the full contents of the buffer can be transmitted to the host or transferred to the console or serial ports.

TTM

When the Transfer Termination Mode (TTM) parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the cursor position determines the end of the string that can be transmitted to the host or transferred to the console or serial ports. When enabled (set to “Y”), the cursor position is ignored.

EOL chars

This string entry parameter specifies a string of up to 8 characters that are sent after each line in a block transmission. If the parameter is not used, the rules specified in

“Transmitted Data Stream” are used to determine end of line characters.

EOB chars

This string entry parameter specifies a string of up to 8 characters that are sent after each block transmission.

Arrow mode

This parameter determines whether arrow keys move the cursor within a field or between fields. When set to “field”, pressing an arrow key causes the cursor to move to the next field in the direction of the arrow. When set to “cursor”, pressing the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys move the cursor within the current field.

Echo Mode

This parameter selects echo mode for the 7530. The available modes are “Local”,

“Host”, and “Smart”.

Local: In this mode, any character entered using the keyboard is displayed before being sent to the host. Certain keys cause additional action at the 7530, as shown in Table 6.5 on page 207.

Host: In this mode, the hand-held computer sends all keyboard entries to the host and displays only data received from the host.

Smart: This mode reduces or eliminates the delay between typing a character on the keyboard and displaying the character echoed by the host computer. The 7530 displays all printable characters on the screen before sending them to the host. The hand-held compares the characters echoed by the host to the characters placed on the page and fixes the display if the host echoes are different.

Kbd Modes

Xmit Enter

The <ENTER> key normally enters data into a field and moves the cursor to the next field. However, some applications require that the <ENTER> key start a transmission from the 7530. When enabled (set to “Y”), this parameter causes the

<ENTER> key to start a transmission.

Insert

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), it behaves in “replace” mode – a character entered at the keyboard or received from the host replaces the character at the cursor position. The cursor then advances one character position.

When enabled (set to “Y”), the character entered at the keyboard or received from the host is inserted at the cursor position after shifting the characters at and following the cursor forward one position. The cursor is advanced one position. The extent of the characters affected by the shift depends on the setting of the “Edit Extent” parameter (see page 209).

Newline

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), an LF character received from the host causes the cursor to move down one line in the same column. In addition, the <ENTER> key transmits a CR. When enabled (set to “Y”), an LF character received from the host causes the cursor to move to the first column of the next line. The <ENTER> key transmits both a CR and an LF.

Disable kbd

Setting this parameter to “Y” disables the keyboard and scanner. When this parameter is set to “N”, the keyboard and scanner are enabled.

Erasure mode

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), erase functions can only erase unprotected characters. When enabled (set to “Y”), the erase functions can erase characters regardless of their protected state.

Tab stop mode

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the setting and clearing of horizontal tab stops apply to the same horizontal position of all lines on the page. When enabled

(set to ‘Y”), horizontal tab setting and clearing apply only to the current line.

Edit extent

This parameter selects the extent of the display to be affected by the ICH and DCH controls and received character insertion. The possible values are Line , Area ,

Display or Fld . The shifting caused by ICH, DCH and character insertion is confined to the selected extent.

Disp controls

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), any control codes received from the host are performed as described. When enabled (set to “Y”), any received control functions are displayed and are not performed. If any C0 or C1 controls are received from the host, their standard ANSI mnemonics are displayed in reverse video. Other characters are displayed as normal characters. This mode can also be set with the Set

Entry Mode

“Entry Mode” parameters allow you to select a data entry mode. The modes are: insert , replace , field and fcursor . “TESS Edit Modes And Cursor

Movement” on page 156 describes these modes in detail.

Open Fky Only

When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the screen is open for function keys only, and the cursor is not positioned. When this parameter is disabled, the screen is open for data entry, and the cursor is placed in the first field (if it exists).

Ign Bcode_fld

When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), fields that were defined as “bar code only” accept data from the keyboard as well as the bar code reader. In effect, they behave as data entry fields.

Enh Edit Mode

This mode provides extended (enhanced) functions to users of Psion Teklogix’ IBM

5250 terminal emulation. When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the arrow keys move the cursor anywhere on the screen, unrestricted by fixed or entry fields.

Certain 5250 emulation keys (e.g. Field Exit) that were originally available only when “Enh Edit Mode” was set to “Y” are now active at all times in TESS applications.

Refer to “IBM 5250 Emulation Keys” on page 155 for details about these keys.

Valid Numerics

This parameter is used to configure valid characters for numeric fields to a maximum of 39 characters. Since this field is numeric, numbers 0 through 9 do not need to be configured. The default values for this parameter are: + - % / . , $.

Clear Entry Fields

When this parameter is set to ‘Y’, an empty entry field is created in place of an entry field filled with spaces.

Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data sent to the host remains unaffected.

Passthru Printing

Setting this parameter to ‘Y’ allows the host to send data directly to the 7535 serial port. This option is most commonly used for printing.

AIAG Character

This parameter is used to enter a decimal representation of the ASCII character code of the AIAG character. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.

When a bar code data is scanned, the 7530 searches for AIAG fields on the current page that can accept the bar code data. The application program distinguishes an entry field as AIAG by preceding the field with this special mode character which indicates the existence of AIAG fields.

Barcode Character

Barcode-input-only fields are special entry fields that only accept input from a bar code reader. The application program identifies a barcode-input-only entry field by preceding the field with a special character.

This parameter is used to enter a decimal representation of the ASCII character code of the barcode-input-only character. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.

Serial IO Character

Serial I/O fields are special entry and fixed fields that accept input from and output to a serial port. The application program distinguishes this field as Serial I/O by preceding the field with a special character. If this character precedes a fixed field, the data will be sent to the 7530’s serial port. If it precedes an entry field, the field accepts data from the 7530’s serial port.

This parameter allows you to enter a decimal representation of the ASCII character code of this special character. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.

Fixed Field Ovrhd

This parameter defines the maximum number of characters allowed within two adjacent, fixed fields that can be sent as a single field. For example, if two fields are

4 characters apart and this parameter is set to 5, these fields are joined into a single field of data. The allowable range for this field is 0 to 80.

This feature affects fields with the “Normal” display attribute only.

Enable Alarm

If this parameter is set to ‘Y’, the 7530 emits a beep when the word ALARM appears on the application screen, in the location specified by the “Command

Region” parameter.

Command Region Up & Down And Command Region Left & Right

The value assigned to the ‘Command Region Up’ and ‘Command Region Down’ parameters represent rows on the 7530 screen. The allowable values range from

0 to 24.

The value assigned to ‘Command Region Left’ and ‘Command Region Right’ parameters represent columns ont he 7530 screen. The allowable values range from 0 to 80.

These four numbers represent the row and column addresses of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the command region. Currently, the only commands supported in the command region are ALARM and FONT:

Scan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport

The Scan-See display is mapped to a specific area on the 7535 screen – called the viewport – and is continuously updated to reflect that portion of the screen. The

Scan-See viewport is defined as follows:

Anchor Line/Anchor Column

A location on the Scan-See display – the anchor – is chosen as a reference point.

Line Offset/Column Offset

A predefined displacement – the offset – is added to the location of the 7535 cursor to create a point – the pivot . This pivot is mapped to the anchor , and whatever is displayed in its vicinity is also displayed on the Scan-See.

For example:

• the anchor is chosen as (9,0) whereas “9” is the column and “0” is the line

(on the Scan-See display)

• the offset is chosen as (4,2)

• the cursor on the 7535 is currently located at (7,5)

• the pivot would thus be located at (7+4, 5+2) or (11,7)

• and so the area displayed on the Scan-See will be:

(11–9,7–0) to (11–9+9,7–0+1) or (2,7) to (11,8).

Scan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport

Follow Cursor

When the “Follow Cursor” parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the cursor is always assumed to be located at the origin. Using the previous example:

• the area displayed will be (4–9,2–0) to (4–9+9, 2–0+1), or, after clipping values that are negative or higher than 80: (0,2) to (4,3).

Wraparound

When “Wraparound” is enabled (set to “Y”), the Scan-See display is treated as a one-line by 20 column display, rather than 2 lines by 10 columns.

Panning

If “Panning” is disabled (set to “N”), the Scan-See viewport does not move when the cursor moves one position to the right, and the pivot is still inside the Scan-See display. However, the Scan-See display is updated to reflect the changes within that viewport. If the pivot goes outside the viewport, or if the 7535 display changes without the cursor being moved, the viewport is re-synchronized to coincide the pivot with the anchor.

Line Scrolling

When “Line Scrolling” is enabled (set to “Y”), the Scan-See display is treated as two separate one line by 10 column displays. The top line always displays the previous value of the bottom line. In an application where the cursor skips from one entry field to another, the field that the cursor just entered is displayed on the top line, and the next field is displayed at the bottom.

Note: When this feature is enabled (set to “Y”), the “Panning” option should be disabled to prevent updates to both lines after every keystroke

Brightness

The “Brightness” parameter controls the backlight brightness of the display. It only has an effect on Model 7000 Scan-Sees – scanners equipped with LED (light emitting diode) displays.

When this parameter is set to “Y”, the XON and XOFF characters are not passed to the TESS or ANSI tasks. A received XOFF character stops the serial port from transmitting. A received XON character starts the serial port transmissions again.

6.19.3.2 Scan-See Keyboard Mapping

• Digits (0-9) are passed verbatim

• The CLR key forces a sign-on message and display refresh. This only occurs when CLR is pressed and the CLR key on the display is pressed, then released.

• The three F-keys are mapped to F1, F2 and F3, respectively.

• The ENT key is mapped to the carriage-return (‘\r’) character.

• The two arrow keys are handled locally, and control the brightness, and the line and column offsets, as described on page 242.

• Bar-code data is stripped off any identifying headers (symbology, etc.) and passed verbatim.

The Scan-See is capable of displaying only a subset of the default PC-8 ASCII character set. Any characters that cannot be displayed are currently translated to ‘.’.

Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)

Round trip time is the elapsed time between a 753 0 hand-held computer transmis-

sion and an access point acknowledgement. Each 7530 continuously adjusts the acceptable round trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmissions. If an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time calculated, the 7530 will resend the transmission.

Because 7530s cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The 7530 uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round trip calculations. Once the 7530 begins transmitting and receiving data, this value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmissions and acknowledgements.

7.5.5 Troubleshooting

7.5.5.1

Excessive Charge Duration

The charger is equipped with a recalibration function – a function that fully discharges and then fully recharges the battery. This process is necessary to recalibrate the battery capacity gauge internal to the battery. The charger attempts recalibration when:

• the battery capacity is at less than 30%, and

• the battery has undergone more than 40 partial charge cycles since the last full discharge.

A complete battery discharge takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to complete. When in discharge mode, the LED indicator flashes yellow. The recalibration function extends the charge time by up to 2 hours.

7.5.5.2

Indicator Flashing Red

If the indicator flashes red:

• Remove all batteries and disconnect the mains power cable.

• Wait at least 20 seconds, and then plug the cable in again.

If any of the charge slot LEDs continue to flash red, the charger is defective and requires service. If all indicators are flashing red, there is a power supply problem and the charger requires service.

7.5.5.3

Power LED Does Not Light Up

• Remove all batteries, and unplug the charger.

• Connect another device to the mains outlet to ensure there is power.

• Remove the IEC mains power cable from the charger, and check it for damage.

• Reconnect the mains cable in the charger and mains outlet.

If the power LED still does not light up:

• Unplug the mains cable, and check the fuse at the rear of the charger.

If the fuse appears to be intact, the charger requires service.

• Gently slide the 7535 into the cradle portion of the combo charger until lightly latched. An icon is displayed indicating that the 7530 is properly installed in the combo charger – .

The battery charge LED on the 7530 lights up indicating that the unit has external power and battery charging may begin. It is safe to leave the 7530 in the combo charger cradle while it is not in use – the battery will not be overcharged.

7.6.4 Charging The Spare Battery

• Install the battery with the latch facing towards the rear of the charger – slide it between the guide rails until it lightly latches in place.

The LED for the slot lights up immediately. A solid yellow LED indicates the battery is being charged. A flashing yellow LED indicates that the battery temperature is outside the acceptable charge range – between 0˚ C and 39˚ C

(32˚ F to 102˚ F).

A fully discharged battery normally takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to charge. When the battery capacity reaches 75%, the LED flashes green. When the battery is at full capacity, the indicator turns solid green.

The combo charger stops applying power to the battery when it is fully charged – there is no risk of overcharge if the battery remains in the charge slot. The 75% charge indicator is handy if you need a quick recharge – a quick charge often takes less than one hour.

Troubleshooting issues for the combo dock are identical to those of the quad dock.

Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 264 for helpful tips.

7.8 Quad Dock

Note: The quad dock is shipped with a user manual. It is critical that this manual be reviewed for additional information and updates.

The Quad Dock permits each of four docked 7530 hand-helds to communicate with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network at greater than 2Mbps. It also provides sufficient power to operate and fast charge the batteries in the 7530s.

7.8.1 Installation

The quad dock should be located away from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants.

The ambient temperature must fall between 0˚ C to 39 ˚C (32˚ F to 102˚ F). The

7535 internal charger will not charge batteries outside of this temperature range. For maximum performance, it is recommended that the quad dock be operated at room temperature – from 18˚ C to 25˚ C (64˚ F to 77˚ F).

The quad dock can consume up to 3A @ 120VAC or 1.5A @ 240VAC. Ensure that the mains circuit supplying the unit is adequate, especially if several docks are being powered from the same circuit.

After unpacking the unit:

• Visually inspect the unit for any damage.

• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.

A green indicator in the lower-right corner of the front panel lights up to indicate that power is present.

• Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (supplied) between your network and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock.

A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is established.

A user application must be loaded onto each 7530 that utilizes the quad dock for communication. When the network is connected and this application is loaded, the quad dock is ready for use.

7.8.2 Indicators And Controls

The quad dock has no user controls. It is equipped with a power indicator LED and

RJ45 link and traffic indicator LEDs. When a valid network link is established, a green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector.

7.8.3 Using The Quad Dock

• Gently slide the 7535 into the cradle portion of the quad dock until lightly latched.

The 7535 detects that it is in a quad dock and displays the appropriate icon in the taskbar – . The battery charge LED on the 7535 lights up to show it has external power and may start charging the battery.

Interaction with the 7535 while in the quad dock is a function of the user application software used to communicate with the host network.

7.8.4 Network Access

The quad dock includes a four port 10/100 Ethernet hub. Each of the four downstream ports are connected to dedicated USB-to-Ethernet converters. These

USB converters appear as USB slaves to the 7530 USB host controller. The 7530 automatically detects insertion into a quad dock and loads the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.

7.8.4.1

Network Addressing

Although the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally no correlation between these addresses and a specific 7530 hand-held. The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a specific 7530 on the network.

If a link is established between a 7530 and a host, the application on the host and on the 7530 must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the 7530 is removed from the dock and the link is interrupted.

7.8.5 Battery Charging

The quad dock supplies DC power to enable the 7530 internal fast charger. Charge status is displayed on the 7530 charge LED (see “Charge LED” on page 43). Battery charging continues whether the 7530 is switched on or off.

Normally, it takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to fully charge the 7530 internal battery.

Bluetooth Peripherals

7.10 Bluetooth Peripherals

If the 7530 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, it is possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on. The range of the Bluetooth radio in the 7530 is limited to approximately

2 meters.

Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.

• GSM/GPRS tri-band universal handset

• Bluetooth printer

Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the 7530 includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the 7530 at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11b network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as printers and scanners).

Bluetooth peripherals are configured using the Bluetooth control panel applet. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 106 for information about setting up your Bluetooth devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your

Bluetooth device to determine the method used to associate with the 7530 host.

7.11 The 7530 Picker Cradle

The 7530 picker cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the 7530 securely even when operated in high vibration environments (such as vehicles not equipped with suspensions).

The7530 base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options – a power module and a port replicator. Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard mounts for the hand-held picker cradles, and the 7530 picker cradle is compatible with all of them.

Picker Cradle Mounting Recommendations

7.11.1 Picker Cradle Mounting Recommendations

Warning: Before mounting a picker cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted cradle may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.

Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice,

contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see Appendix A: Support

Services And Worldwide Offices). Note also that for better protec- tion, the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.

Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.

The most effective way to mount the picker cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle.

To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location.

Wiring Guidelines

7.11.2 Wiring Guidelines

Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider the following:

• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.

• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.

• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.

• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.

• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.

• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

7.11.3 Using The Picker Cradle

If your 7535 is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a picker cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.

• Slide the 7530 into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the 7535 to be certain that it is secure.

• To remove the 7530, press firmly on one of the knobs on either side of the cradle until it releases. You do not need to press both knobs.

7.11.4 Maintaining The Picker Cradle

Two latches in the cradle hold the 7530 firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for at least 80,000 cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer lock the 7530 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion

Teklogix (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices). Partial disassembly is required.

Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles

7.11.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles

Warning: Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For powered cradle installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage, ensure the powered cradle power connector is mounted in a dry location on the vehicle, or that the connector is insulated with an appropriate waterproof material after installation. The connector must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death.

Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require special consideration.

Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water or other liquids. This can be accomplished in one of the following ways:

• Ensure the power connector is installed in a dry location on the vehicle, away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a sealed housing).

• Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material (see

“Extreme Wet Environments” note below for additional details).

• Wrap the connector securely with a waterproof electrical tape in an area out of the vehicle operators reach.

All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the powered cradle.

7.11.5.1

Extreme Wet Environments

For extreme wet environments, or environments where it is difficult to restrict vehicle operator access to the power connector, Psion Teklogix offers a waterproof heat shrink kit (PN 1030022). The kit contains 3 pieces of waterproof, high shrink ratio heat shrink tubing which can be used to encapsulate the entire connector assembly. If using this kit, please ensure that you order sufficient material to cover installation and service, remembering that heat shrink is one-time use, and must be replaced if it is removed from the connector for any reason.

Powered Cradle Installation

7.11.6 Powered Cradle Installation

The powered cradle option is designed to allow the 7530 to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the 7530 is also recharged by the vehicle battery.

This option accepts DC power sources over the range 12V to 80V.

The 7530 picker cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed, or it can be retrofitted later at an authorized Psion Teklogix service depot. Service offices are listed in Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices.

The 7530 charging LED (see Section 3.6.1.1 on page 43) indicates that external power is available, and it also indicates the charging status of the internal battery.

Warning: Applying a voltage above 90VDC or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the cradle power option and will void the product warranty.

Warning: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK when the powered cradle option is installed, always ensure that the rear panel ground lug on the picker cradle is connected to the vehicle chassis. Failure to do this could result in serious injury or death.

The metal chassis of the picker cradle must be connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle. A safety ground lug (clearly labelled on the rear of the cradle chassis) is provided for this purpose. The grounding strap must connect from the ground stud on the picker cradle to a solid, reliable contact point on the main portion of the vehicle chassis. It must not be connected to battery negative or a terminal block.

This grounding strap ensures that if there is a fault in the vehicle wiring or in the picker cradle power module, the picker cradle cannot be at a hazardous voltage with respect to the vehicle chassis.

Connection between the picker cradle ground lug and the vehicle chassis should be done with a 16 gauge ground strap (ground wire). Connect the ground strap to the picker cradle utilizing the ground lug hardware supplied with the picker cradle and a

#10 heavy duty wire crimp ring terminal. Torque the ground lug hardware to 23.0

+/- 2.0 in-lbs. Connect the other end of the ground strap to a solid, reliable point on the main portion of the vehicle chassis, ensuring a solid electrical connection.

As with other vehicle cables, the routing of the ground strap should be carefully considered to ensure it does not pose a hazard to the operator or the safe operation of the vehicle. If necessary, secure the ground strap with cable ties or some other mechanical means to prevent loops or loose lengths of wire that could catch on stationary items when the vehicle is in motion.

Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle

7.11.6.1

Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle

A 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your power cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 8A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A.

The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The power cradle is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.

You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the power cradle after the key switch – that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle before the switch.

Keep in mind that the 7530 will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has sufficient charge.

If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.

The Port Replicator

7.11.7 The Port Replicator

The port replicator is an optional accessory that allows tethered devices (e.g., scanners) as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh scales) to be attached to the picker cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the cradle power option.

The functionality of the 7535 tether port is duplicated on the port replicator. In addition to the tether port, the replicator is equipped with a standard 9 pin RS232D serial interface. This interface is typically used for fixed peripherals such as printers.

Your serial device likely includes a suitable cable connector for this port.

Note: The 753 0 picker cradle can be ordered with the port replicator option installed, or it can be retrofitted later by an authorized Psion Teklogix service depot. Service offices are listed in Appendix A: Support Services

C.1 USB Setup

The USB Setup application (PN 1000997) is used to update a Windows PC so that it can connect to a Psion Teklogix 7530.

System Requirements

• Windows® 2000 or XP

• ActiveSync 3.1 or later

The two driver classes that control USB communication are usbstor (for communication with a device running BooSt ) and wceusbsh (for communication through ActiveSync with a device running Windows CE). These drivers must be updated with 7530-specific information so that the 7530 can be recognized by your PC.

The install program:

• updates copies of the device installation scripts usbstor.inf

and wceusbsh.inf

with Psion Teklogix-specific information,

• sets up a USB connection between the PC and the 7530, and

• installs the 7530 as a device on your PC. This may require notifying the

PC OS that the device should be reinstalled and then reconnecting the

USB device.

C.1.1 Launching The Application

The log file is initialized and the program introduction is written to it.

C.1.2 Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf

1. Welcome Dialogue Box:

You can click on the <Back> and <Next> buttons to navigate between the pre-install windows. At any time during the pre-installation process, you can tap on <Cancel> to exit the program.

• Shut down all other software programs – especially ActiveSync – to avoid a restart request during installation.

• Tap on the <Next> button.

The program checks that ActiveSync is installed and that it is a supported version – 3.1 or later. If the version installed on your PC is not supported, you’ll need to exit the USB Setup application, and install a later version of

ActiveSync.

2. Device Driver INF File Selection Dialogue Box:

This dialogue box allows you to choose the paths of the appropriate inf files. Default file paths are provided in this dialogue box.

• If necessary, tap on the <Browse> buttons to select different paths for the inf files.

3. Device Driver Install Selection Dialogue Box:

You can choose to have the device drivers installed immediately by selecting the check box (

√

), or you can leave the check box blank and

Windows will install the 7530 the next time it is connected. It is recommended that the device be installed immediately.

• Select the drivers you want to update – wceusbsh and usbstor .

• Tap on the <Next> button.

Note: None of the drivers are updated by default. To complete the process, you must establish USB connections.

4. Device Driver Backup Selection Dialogue Box:

The USB Setup application will attempt to back up the driver .sys

files before attempting the installation. It specifies which files it will try to back up and the location to which it will back them up.

Note: Both drivers are selected for backup by default. The backup directory is

<system directory>\drivers\ptxBackup.

C.1.3 Installation: Installing The 7530 As a Device On Your PC

1. Install Dialogue Box:

The .sys

files you selected are copied to the backup directory. If an unknown error occurs during the backup, you are asked whether you’d prefer to cancel the install or continue with the process. The wceusbsh.inf

and usbstor.inf

files are updated.

2. If you indicated that the wceusbsh driver should be installed, the

Install dialogue box appears again. The USB Setup application will attempt to install the drivers immediately. This will succeed only if a valid USB connection to the device that is running Windows CE exists.

• If the install fails due to an unknown error, the install for this particular driver is aborted.

• If the install fails because there was an inappropriate USB connection, there are two possibilities:

• An appropriate USB connection was never established between the PC and the 7530 running Windows CE. In this case, when an appropriate

USB connection with this device exists, Windows will automatically attempt to install the device driver.

• An appropriate USB connection exists between the PC and the 7535 running Windows CE, but it has since been severed. Windows may or may not attempt to automatically install the device drivers on the next appropriate USB connection.

• A window is displayed where you can tap on <Cancel> to abort the wceusbsh driver installation and continue. It also contains instructions to boot your device into Windows CE and establish a USB connection between the device and the PC. When you create the appropriate connection, Windows automatically installs the device drivers. The ‘Found New

Hardware’ wizard may appear. Your only interaction with this window is to click on the <Finish> button.

• If this is the first appropriate connect between the device and the PC – i.e., there was no previous devnode for the device in the system – the

<Continue> button is activated as soon as the connection is made. Where there was a devnode present in the system and it has been marked for reinstall, the <Continue> button will not become active until Windows has

Appendix C: USB Setup Application

Post Installation completed the driver installation and the device is no longer marked for reinstall. Only one devnode per device can be ‘unset’ when the device drivers are finally installed.

3. If you indicated that the usbstor driver should be installed, the same steps as described above are carried out for usbstor except that the

7530 must be running BooSt. (Press and hold down the <SCAN>

<BLUE> <ENTER> keys for a minimum of 6 seconds to launch the

BooSt program.) Keep in mind that a device running BooSt has a different hardware ID than when it is running Windows CE.

C.1.4 Post Installation

1. Done Dialogue Box:

This dialogue box indicates the success or failure of the installation.

• To exit the program, tap on the <Exit> button.
