Chapter 3 Application Deployment for Mobile 5.0  
Introduction  
This chapter describes features available in Windows Mobile 5.0 including new security features, how to package  
applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the mobile computer. The MC909X Integrator Guide,  
P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the detailed information on these topics.  
Security  
The mobile computers implement a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run  
and, if allowed, with what level of trust. The security configuration of the device must be available to develop an  
application, as well as the ability to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the application to run  
(and to run with the needed level of trust). The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the security  
support information applicable to the MC9090-G RFID mobile computer. Information on the following topics is  
provided:  
Application Security  
Digital Signatures  
Device Management Security  
Remote API Security  
Packaging  
Packaging combines an application executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier to  
deploy and install an application to the mobile computer. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL  
files, as CAB files, then deploy them to Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0  
Help file for information on CAB files.  
                       
3 - 2 MC9090-G RFID Integrator Guide Supplement  
Deployment  
To install applications onto the mobile computer, developers package the application and all required files into a  
CAB file, then load the file onto the mobile computer using one of the following options:  
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 or greater  
Storage Card  
AirBEAM  
Image Update (for updating the operating system).  
Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file for information on CAB files.  
The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the deployment support information applicable to the  
MC9090-G RFID mobile computer. Information on the following topics is provided:  
Installation Using ActiveSync  
Installation Using Storage Card  
Installation Using AirBEAM  
Image Update  
Creating a Splash Screen  
XML Provisioning  
To configure the settings on a mobile computer XML provisioning should be used. To install an XML provisioning  
file on the mobile computer, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF) file. A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and  
contains just one file: _setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a  
CPF extracts the XML code and uses it to provision and configure the mobile computer. The user receives an  
e-mail notification indicating success or failure.  
XML Provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the mobile computer (i.e., registry and file  
system). However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, certain  
privileges (roles) are required. Some registry keys require only an Authenticated User, while other registry keys  
require a Manager. Refer to the Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file, Metabase Settings for Registry Configuration  
Service Provider section, for the default role settings in Windows Mobile 5.0.  
For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged certificate  
installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file and the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for  
instructions and sample test certificates.  
The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the XML Provisioning support information applicable  
to the MC9090-G RFID mobile computer. Information on the following topics is provided:

System Configuration Manager  
The System Configuration Manager (SCM) is a utility that runs on the development computer and is used to create  
configuration files. These files, when deployed to an mobile computer, set configuration parameters for that device.  
The configurable options for a mobile computer are defined in an XML file that is available on the Symbol OSS for  
that mobile computer. SCM is also available on Symbol OSS.  
SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings. The MC909X  
Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the SCM support information applicable to the MC9090-G RFID  
mobile computer. Information on the following topics is provided:  
File Types  
User Interface  
File Deployment  
Rapid Deployment Client  
The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client facilitates software downloads to a mobile computer from a Mobility Services  
Platform (MSP) Console FTP server. The MSP Console is a web-based interface to the wireless infrastructure  
monitoring and management tools provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.  
When software packages are transferred to the FTP server, the mobile computer on the wireless network can  
download them. The location of software packages are encoded in RD bar codes. When the mobile computer  
scans a bar code(s), the software package(s) is downloaded from the FTP server to the mobile computer. Multiple  
mobile computers can scan a single RD bar code. The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the  
RD support information applicable to the MC9090-G RFID mobile computer. Information on the following topics is

4 - 2 MC9090-G RFID Integrator Guide Supplement  
RFIDDemo Application  
The RFIDDemo application is provided as a demo application to be used by developers in developing customized  
production applications. The application is viewed on a host computer using a remote viewing application (not  
provided). The RFIDDemo application is provided for the purpose of demonstration and is intended to be used  
as-is.  
Gen2 tags can be read, programmed, erased, written locked and killed. Each tag contains the EPC number (64 or  
96 bits), CRC and kill code. In addition, data can be collected by decoding in-range EPC Gen2 RFID tags.  
NOTE The reader is optimized to read only Gen 2 tags and the default setting on the RFIDDemo application are  
set to read and write only Gen2 tags.  
The reader has the capability to read, program, erase, write lock and kill; Gen2 tags. The current  
RFIDDemo application only provides an example for programming tags.  
When the read command is initiated, the reader interrogates all of the RFID tags within the radio frequency (RF)  
field of view. The reader captures data from each new tag found and adds it to the list box in the main Tags window.  
When the read command is stopped, the reader stops interrogating tags.  
Perform the following procedures to setup and use the RFIDDemo application:  
Setup the local host computer display.  
Setup a host computer to view the MC9090-G RFID menus.  
Setup the LAN host.  
The LAN host computer must be setup to receive the tag data.  
Setup the wireless connection.  
See the MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx for information on setting up the wireless  
connection.  
Launch the RFIDDemo application.  
Using RFIDDemo to Read Tags From a Remote Reader  
The RFIDDemo can reside on many CE4.2/CE5.0 and Mobile based devices including Motorola's RD5000,  
MC90xx readers, WIN CE based VRCs, and XR Series products.  
On devices that have integrated RFID reading, the RFIDDemo automatically finds and connects to the integrated  
RFID reader. These readers include RD5000, MC90xx, and XR Series.  
On devices that do not have an integrated RFID reading capability, the RFIDDemo must be configured to connect  
to the remote RFID reader using the reader IP address and port number 3000.  
The settings screen is described in Device Settings on page 4-5.

NOTE The comport is currently configured for 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.  
Registry Settings Description  
The RFIDDemo registry file restores the demo settings after a cold boot (see Performing a Cold Boot on page 1-9).  
If this file is edited, the settings will not be implemented until a cold boot occurs. Alternatively, on some Motorola  
devices, the registry file can be launched. When this is done, a prompt appears asking the user to choose whether  
to merge these settings into the registry. The next time the demo is launched, it will use the settings in this file. Do  
not perform this function while the demo is running. The Gemini_RFID.exe demo also uses many of these registry  
settings and can be used to registry settings. Do not launch the Gemini_RFID.exe demo while the RFIDDemo is  
running. Table 4-1 on page 4-7 provides the RFIDDemo registry file example.  
NOTE All DWORD values must be in hex notation.

Chapter 5 GeminiRFID Demo Application  
Introduction  
Application developers can use the Launching the GeminiRFID Demo Application on page 5-3 for an overview of  
how the application works and to assist in application development.  
Integrators can use the MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx for product settings and as an aid in the  
product integration. Use the utilities to change and/or set the device parameters and to test applications.  
NOTE The screens and windows are provided for illustration purposes only and may differ from actual screens. The  
applications described may not be available on (or applicable to) all devices.  
Procedures are not device specific and are intended to provide a functional overview.  
The GeminiRFID Demo application is provided for the purpose of demonstration and are not designed for  
production environments.  
The reader has the capability to program, erase and write; Gen2 tags. The current GeminiRFID Demo  
application only provides an example for programming tags.  
The GeminiRFID Demo is not provided with source code. However, a sample, is provided in the SMDK for C.  
Host Computer Display Setup  
To view the system menus on a local PC use an application such as Microsoft’s Remote Display Control for Pocket  
PC. For more information and the Remote Display Control for Pocket PC download go to  
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ and search for Remote Display Control for Pocket PC. Download the  
application and follow the provided installation and setup procedures.  
After the remote display application has been installed on the host computer, set up an ActiveSync connection  
between the host computer and the MC9090-G RFID reader (see the MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N:  
72E-72216-xx).

Using GeminiRFID Demo to Read Tags From a Remote Reader  
The GeminiRFID Demo can reside on many CE4.2/CE5.0 and Mobile based devices including Motorola's MC909x  
handhelds, RD5000, WIN CE based VRCs, and XR Series products.  
On devices that have integrated RFID reading, the GeminiRFID Demo automatically finds and connects to the  
integrated RFID reader. These readers include RD5000, MC90xx, and XR Series.  
On devices that do not have an integrated RFID reading capability, the GeminiRFID Demo must be configured to  
connect to the remote RFID reader using the reader IP address and port number 3000.  
The settings screen is described in Settings on page 5-8.  
Using GeminiRFID Demo to Forward/Log Tags to Remote Device  
By default, the GeminiRFID Demo will not display or log tags. The GeminiRFID Demo beeps each time a tag is  
read however. The GeminiRFID Demo can be configured to log tags using the following mechanisms:

Program Tag  
This option can be used to program Gen2 RFID tags.  
Gen2 tags can be programmed, erased, locked and killed. Each tag contains 88 or 120 bits, which includes the  
EPC number (64 or 96 bits), CRC, and Kill Code. Locking, and killing tags requires a Kill Code which is 1 byte (8  
bits) long. Since a tag has a very small Kill Code and can be thwarted with many lock/kill attempts, it shuts down  
after a failed attempt for a extended amount of time (possibly up to 10 hours). In addition, data can be collected by  
decoding in-range EPC RFID tags that beam back to the mobile computer the information they contain.

Chapter 7 Maintenance & Troubleshooting  
Introduction  
This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the RFID reader, and provides troubleshooting solutions  
for potential problems during RFID reader operating.  
Maintaining the RFID reader  
For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the RFID reader:  
Take care not to scratch the screen of the RFID reader. When working with the RFID reader, use the supplied  
stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use a pen or pencil or  
other sharp object on the surface of the RFID reader screen.  
Although the RFID reader is water and dust resistant, it is good practice not to expose it to rain or moisture  
for an extended period of time.  
The battery must be changed in a clean dry area.  
Protect the RFID reader from temperature extremes. Keep it away from heat sources.  
Do not store or use the RFID reader in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.  
Use a soft cloth to clean the RFID reader. If the surface of the RFID reader becomes soiled, clean it with a  
soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.  
NOTE This MC9090-G RFID Integrator Guide Supplement is configured to provides only the unique set up and  
configuration procedures for the MC9090-G RFID mobile computers and accessories. The accessory  
troubleshooting is provided in the MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx.

Battery Safety Guidelines  
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.  
Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non-commercial environment.  
Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. For any questions about the compatibility of a battery or a  
charger, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility support. See Service Information on page i-xii for contact  
information.  
Do not crush, puncture, or place a high degree of pressure on the battery.  
Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to  
overheat.  
Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle or  
near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.  
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.  
If battery or equipment is suspected, call Motorola Enterprise Mobility support to arrange for inspection. See  
Service Information on page i-xii for contact information.
