Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC

What is RoHS?

The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the

design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce

hazardous substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous

Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cad-

mium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that

may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these high environmental

standards may be “placed on the market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.

RoHS Logo

Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion

Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:

The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in

the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking

station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other

than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying

RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is

thereby exempt from the directive.

Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical

space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

date. In addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein; these

changes will be incorporated into new editions of the publication.

jets to the international standard IP66.

2.3.1 Important Operating Instructions

Warning:

IT IS CRITICAL that this information be reviewed and that any

guidelines applicable to your vehicle-mount be strictly followed.

For All Freezer Vehicle-Mounts

•

Use vehicle-mounts only in the environments for which they are designed.

All Psion Teklogix freezer vehicle-mounts have built-in heaters where

required to warm internal components. To help maintain the temperature,

units should be switched on before entry into a freezer environment and

should be left connected to vehicle power and running at all times while in a

freezer environment.

•

When moving between freezer and warm, humid environments, window

condensation or icing on the outside of the display window is a normal

occurrence. Wiping the condensation from the window may help, but the

operator may need to wait until the condensation stops forming before use.

•

To reduce condensation and frost on vehicle-mount displays, use an anti-

fogging agent once a week or as required.

Contact lubricant and connector caps must be used on all external connec-

tors to maintain a moisture barrier and prevent corrosion during freezer and

outdoor use. On all 8525 G2/8530 G2 vehicle-mount computers, the contact

lubricant –PN 95146 (Nyogel) must be used. Further, the appropriate

contact lubricant should be replaced at least monthly in applications requir-

ing daily or frequent removal of cables. Refer to the table below for connec-

tor cap part numbers.

Important Operating Instructions

•

To prevent condensation when a vehicle-mount is moved from a freezer to a

warmer environment, it is recommended that the computer power be left on

for at least five minutes.

•

When not in use, vehicle-mount freezer units should be stored in tempera-

tures above 0° C (32° F).

To prevent keyboard keys from freezing up, the keyboard should be

mounted off the horizontal plane. This allows water to run off the keyboard

and prevents it from pooling on the keypad, freezing and finally physically

jamming the keys. Mounting the keyboard off the horizontal plane also pre-

vents water from dripping onto the keypad area.

Backup Battery

The vehicle-mount back up battery capacity is reduced as the operating temperature

cools. The table below provides a general outline of battery capacity based on the

operating temperature. Charging of the back up battery will occur between +5° C

and +45° C.

Note: If the backup battery temperature is less than +10° C and a brown-out

occurs, the display backlight will switch off in order to maintain vehicle-

mount operations. The backlight will switch back on when external power

is restored or the battery temperature is above +10° C.

an SSID, and it lists preferred networks – networks that you have config-

ured. Since access points are generally secure, they will most likely not

be listed here. By default, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 attempts to connect to pre-

ferred networks. This behaviour can be changed by enabling ‘Automati-

cally connect to non-preferred networks’ in the Advanced dialog box

(page 23).

If you are using an Ad Hoc network – a network in which 8525 G2/8530

G2s pass data directly to other 8525 G2/8530 G2s without an access point –

tap on the checkbox next to ‘This is an ad hoc network’ to enable Ad Hoc.

Encryption

WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from acciden-

tally accessing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can

choose Disabled from the dropdown encryption menu. Otherwise, leave

this field as is.

Note: WEP cannot be disabled if you are using WPA or WPA-PSK authentication.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included

as part of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs. Designed to

enhance WEP, TKIP uses the original WEP programming but ‘wraps’ addi-

tional code at the beginning and end to encapsulate and modify it, encrypt-

ing each data packet with a unique encryption key.

Authentication

802.11 supports a number of subtypes of network authentication services:

Open, Shared, WPA and WPA-PSK.

Using 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.

Using 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.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

(TKIP) to provide strong data encryption, and offers two user authentica-

tion and key management methods.

The first method of user authentication is intended for environments using a

centralized Authentication Server, such as RADIUS. User authentication is

based on IEEE 802.1X and mutual authentication based EAP.

In environments where a centralized Authentication Server or EAP frame-

work is not available, user authentication is based on a ‘Pre-Shared Key’

method – WPA-PSK. If you are using Pre-Shared Key authentication, you

will need to manually enter a password (Master Key) in the Access Point or

Wireless Router and enter the same password in each client device that

accesses the wireless network. The manually configured WPA password

(Master Key) automatically starts the TKIP data encryption process.

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.

Assigning An IP Address

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 8525

G2/8530 G2 settings and the access point settings, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 will

communicate on the network through the access point.

2.8.1 Assigning An IP Address

If your network is not using a DHCP server, you will need to assign an IP address.

2.10.2.1 SCU Security Capabilities

The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the

vehicle-mount and wireless WAN infrastructure that transmit and receive data.

A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE

802.1X and a critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This

supplicant provides an interface between the radio and the operating system and

supports the authentication and encryption elements required for 802.11i, also

known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as well as predecessors such as WPA

and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated supplicant that supports a broad

range of security capabilities, including:

•

802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for

WPA2 and WPA.

•

Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.

SCU Security Capabilities

Common EAP types include:

•

EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket

Layer (SSL). It provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for

user authentication.

•

PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to

encrypt EAP traffic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP:

•

EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate

for use against Windows Active Directory and domains.

EAP-GTC, resulting in PEAP-GTC: This is for authentication with one-

time passwords (OTPs) against OTP databases such as SecureID.

•

LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access

points. LEAP does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP

supports Windows Active Directory and domains but requires the use of

strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to offline dictionary attacks.

EAP-FAST: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords

to protect against offline dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does

not require the use of server or client certificates and supports Windows

Active Directory and domains.

Note: PEAP and EAP-TLS require the use of Windows facilities for the configu-

ration of digital certificates.

SCU EAP Types

The following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be

configured in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With

each of these four types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the config,

you will be prompted to enter credentials the first time the radio attempts to

associate to an access point that supports 802.1X (EAP).

Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:

•

PEAP-GTC: SCU supports static (login) passwords only.

LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended.

EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning.

EAP-TLS will work with a Summit DC-802.11_SC_CF (Model #RA2041) radio

module when Windows Zero Config (WZC) rather than the SCU is used to configure

the type. With WZC, the native Windows supplicant instead of the SCU integrated

supplicant is used.

EAP Credentials

2.10.2.2 EAP Credentials

Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:

•

If the credentials specified in the config are incorrect and that config is used,

the authentication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted

to enter correct credentials.

•

If the credentials are not specified in the config, when the radio tries to asso-

ciate using that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.

When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials,

or cancel the operation.

•

If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and

authenticate.

•

If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate

but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter creden-

tials.

•

If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the

radio will not attempt to associate with that config until you perform

one of the following actions (while the config is the active config):

•

Cause the vehicle-mount to go through a power cycle or sus-

pend/resume.

Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the

Diags windows.

Modify the config, and tap on Commit.

Alternatively, you can choose another config as the active config and then switch

back to the config for which EAP authentication was cancelled.

2.10.2.3 ThirdPartyConfig

If you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating

system’s Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for

the CF radio installed in the unit.

Choosing this config means that WZC must be used to define the following radio

and security options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption.The SCU settings

for ThirdPartyConfig include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and

Radio Mode. These SCU settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC

settings will be applied to the radio module.

3.2 The Internal Backup Battery

The 8525 G2/8530 G2 vehicle-mount is equipped with an internal battery that will

provide backup power to the unit for up to fifteen minutes of normal operation.

After 15 minutes, the unit will shut off to preserve the contents of RAM.

The backup battery is not user accessible. It must be replaced by authorized Psion

Teklogix personnel.

3.3 The Keyboard

The 8525 G2/8530 G2 offers three keyboard layouts – Qwerty, ABC and Azerty.

The 8530 G2 is equipped with an external keyboard offering the same layouts as the

8525 G2 vehicle-mount.

Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. If a key

or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.

Note: On the 8530 G2, a soft keyboard that is an exact replica of the external

keyboard is available. Refer to “Input Panel” on page 134 for details.

3.3.1 Modifier Keys

The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] ad [ORANGE] keys are modifier keys.

Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, 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.

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.

Activating Modifier Keys

3.3.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the

taskbar at the bottom of the 8525 G2/8530 G2 screen. For example, if the [CTRL]

key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once another key

is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.

3.3.1.2 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 modifier keys can be disabled so that pressing a

modifier key once will lock the key ‘on’. If you disable the ‘One Shot’

function of these keys, pressing a modifier key once will lock it ‘on’.

Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to

“Keyboard One Shots” on page 89 for details.

3.3.2 The Keys

The [BLUE] And [ORANGE] Keys

The [BLUE] and [ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional symbols

and keys. These additional symbols and keys are colour coded in blue and orange

print above the keyboard keys.

Press the [BLUE] key to access functions or characters displayed in blue print on the

keyboard. Press the [ORANGE] key to access functions or characters displayed in

orange print on the keyboard.

The [SHIFT/CAPS] Key

The [SHIFT/CAPS] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters. Pressing

[BLUE][SHIFT] turns the [CAPS] key on so that all alpha characters are printed in

uppercase until the [BLUE][SHIFT] sequence is pressed again.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The 8525/30 G2

Scanning Techniques

The 8525 G2/8530 G2 supports a variety of one dimensional (1D) and two

dimensional (2D) laser scanners.

“Scanning Techniques” outlines the mechanics of a successful scan. In addition,

review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 52 to better understand how to interpret

whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting”

on page 53 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.

3.7.1 Scanning Techniques

Note: External scanners can be connected to the 8525 G2/8530 G2 tether, serial

or USB device port.

•

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 2D 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.

When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the

bar code. Movement blurs the image.

•

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 8525 G2/8530 G2 scanner LED (the upper-right LED) indicates whether or

not your scan is successful. Keep in mind that scan indicators only function when

using a non-decoded, 1D laser scanner connected to the tether port. All other

external scanners have integrated LED indicators that are not controlled by the

8525 G2/8530 G2.

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.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The 8525/30 G2

Troubleshooting

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 trigger is released.

3.7.3 Troubleshooting

If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:

•

Is the 8525 G2/8530 G2 on?

Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 8525

G2/8530 G2 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scan-

ning 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 vehicle-mount display the warning without scanning? This sug-

gests a hardware problem in the 8525 G2/8530 G2.

•

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) Laser Scanners

•

Turn the 8525 G2/8530 G2 on. Wait until the unit has booted

up completely.

Important: If an aiming dot is available on the 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 139 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 trigger. A scan beam and a warning

indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds

have elapsed.

3.7.5 Operating PDF Laser Scanners

This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.

•

Turn the vehicle-mount on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.

Aim at the bar code and press the trigger. The beam expands into a rectan-

gle 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.

3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals

Tethered peripherals such as imagers, RFID readers, scanners and/or printers

connect to the vehicle-mount computer with a quick release, circular connector.

For most peripherals, when they are connected to the vehicle-mount, the

8525 G2/8530 G2 detects them and loads the necessary drivers. Keep in mind

however that some peripherals may require their own specific drivers to be loaded

manually. 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

8525 G2/8530 G2:

•

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 Network Connection

To remove the peripheral:

•

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

the connector.

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 Network Connection

If your vehicle-mount 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:

•

Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the Wireless Statistics

dialog 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.

3.10 Connecting An 8525 G2/8530 G2 To A PC

cation, refer to Appendix C: USB Setup Application.

3.11 General Maintenance

3.11.1 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.

If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable

screen protector (PN 1008009). 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.

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

•

mustard, ketchup,

sodium hydroxide,

concentrated caustic solutions,

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.

4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus

Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may

need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 45.

Each 8525 G2/8530 G2s is equipped with a stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a

pen – that is used to select objects on the touchscreen.

Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied

with your 8525 G2/8530 G2.

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

•

Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

To navigate through a dialog box – for example, display the information in a tab,

choose a radio button, check a checkbox and so on:

•

Tap the stylus on a tab, radio button, checkbox and so on.

4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard

If your touchscreen has been disabled, you can use the keyboard rather than a stylus

to choose icons and navigate dialog boxes, display the desktop, and so on. If your

unit has already been fully configured and your application is launched at startup,

you’ll have little need for keyboard navigation.

Keyboard Properties

The options in this tab allows you to determine how modifier keys on your 8525

G2/8530 G2 behave. For each modifier key–[ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ORANGE]

and [BLUE]–you have the following options in the drop-down menu: Lock, One-

Shot, and OneShot/Lock.

Note: Keep in mind that checking the taskbar lets you know whether or not

these keys are locked on. For example, if the [ORANGE] key is locked

‘on’, the taskbar at the bottom of the screen displays it in uppercase char-

acters – ORANGE KEY. If this key is displayed in lowercase characters in the

taskbar, you’ll know that the orange key is not locked. It will become inac-

tive following a key press.

Important: Once you’ve assigned a One Shot mode to a modifier key, you

need to tap on the OK button at the top of the tab to activate

your selection.

Lock

If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it

‘on’ until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off.

OneShot

If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed.

OneShot/Lock

OneShot/Lock allows you to combine these functions. When you choose this

option and you press the modifier key once, it remains active only until the next key

is pressed.

If you press the modifier key twice, it is locked ‘on’, remaining active until the

modifier key is pressed a third time to turn it ‘off’.

keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the

‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER/ON] key, etc.), perform a function

(e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.

There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue

table and the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the

Blue table defines key presses that occur when the [BLUE] modifier is on; the

Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [ORANGE] modifier is on.

The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three

tables using the Scancode Remapping tab accessed from the Keyboard Properties

dialog box.

The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the Scancodes in

hexidecimal. If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is

displayed in the next column labelled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or

‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column labelled ‘Function’.

If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns

remain blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key

number (e.g., Macro 2).

Notes: It is possible to map the same source to different owners—for example,

[F1] can be mapped to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so,

both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recom-

mended in most cases, especially with devices that draw a great deal of

current, such as Imagers.

It is also possible to map different sources to the same owner.

Add Source

Only existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new

source to this list, tap on the Add Source button. A dialog box pops up, allowing

you to select the keyboard key to use as a trigger source.

Trigger Type

You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press.

Normally, when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger

down” event is sent to the “owner”–that is, the application receiving the trigger

press information followed by a “trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu,

when the trigger is pressed, released, and then pressed again, a “double-click” event

will have occurred. If a mapping with the type Up/down has also been configured

for the same source, it will only receive the first set of trigger events.

Power Up Channel

When this parameter is enabled, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 begins communicating on

the channel specified in the Channel Number parameter when the unit is powered

up. This setting may prevent the migration of 8525 G2/8530 G2s to the same

channel due to uneven coverage in some sites.

If this parameter is disabled (unchecked), the unit will continue communicating on

the same channel that it was on before it was powered off.

Channel Enable List

•

Tap on the Channel Enable List button to display a dialog box listing

available channels.

This dialog box is completed by default with all channels that have frequencies

configured. A checkmark indicates that a channel is enabled. An unchecked check

box indicates that the channel is disabled. The maximum number of channels

supported by the RA1001 Narrow Band radio is 20.

Enabling a channel allows the channel to be set to an operating channel (Channel

Number) and makes it available for channel searching. For example, if Channel 1 is

the operating channel and all other channels are enabled, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 can

roam through all 20 channels.

Channel Switch Speed

This parameter changes the threshold the 8525 G2/8530 G2 uses to determine when

communication quality with a base station is unacceptable. When this threshold is

exceeded, the unit starts channel searching for a new base station.

Setting this parameter to Slow means a higher threshold – the 8525 G2/8530 G2 is

more tolerant of poor communication quality. When the channel quality of the

vehicle-mount radio drops below 46%, the unit monitors the channel quality for 15

timeout periods before searching for a new channel. If Channel Switch Speed is set

to Fast, the current channel is only monitored for up to 2 time-out periods before

channel switching begins.

Important: “Fast” switch speed is most effective where coverage areas are

largely overlapping. If the coverage areas barely overlap, have

dead spots, or if the 8525 G2/8530 G2 frequently operates on the

fringe of coverage, this parameter should be set to “Slow”.

Channel Selection

Enabling Manual Select allows you to set the channel search order the

8525 G2/8530 G2 will use if communication quality drops and channel

switching is required. If this parameter is enabled, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 uses

the channel switching lists specified in the Manual Switch Table. If this parameter is

disabled (unchecked), the vehicle-mount uses a standard algorithm to decide which

channel it should switch to in the event of poor channel quality.

This feature is used rarely. It is used when the order of channel switching needs to be

tightly controlled. The values in the Channel column are completed for you with the

enabled channels when this dialog box is opened. For each corresponding enabled

channel, the “List” column contains “0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0” values by default.

If communication quality falls below 46%, only the channels entered in the Manual

Switch Table are considered for channel switching. The channel search is carried out

in the order in which the channels were entered in the table.

To configure channel switching order for a particular channel:

•

Highlight the channel you want to edit, and tap on Edit Channel List.

Editing The Channel List

Only those channels that are enabled are displayed in the dropdown menus in the

The value assigned to this parameter must be identical to the value assigned to the

corresponding parameter in the Psion Teklogix Network Controller, Wireless

Gateway or Base Station. A warm reset of the 8525 G2/8530 G2 is required before

this parameter can take effect.

If Enable Cellular Protocol is disabled (unchecked), the options in the Cellular Radio

Cellular Radio Address

Auto Radio Address

If Auto radio address is enabled, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 requests an automatically

assigned radio address. Manual radio address is displayed in grey text indicating that

it cannot be accessed.

Manual Radio Address

The value entered in the Manual Radio Address parameter is used to identify the

8525 G2/8530 G2 over the radio link. A unique value from 1 to 3840 must be

assigned for each unit.

Note: This parameter is set to ‘0’ (an out-of-range value) by default to block

radio communication when the unit is initially powered up. This prevents

several new terminals from attempting to communicate with the same

default terminal number at initial power up. Once the default value is

changed, it cannot be set back to ‘0’.

Sync Delay

Warning:

This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting

without a clear understanding of radio protocol timing.

The Sync Delay parameter specifies the delay between the base station transmission

and the first response window, measured in milliseconds. The value assigned to this

parameter must be compatible with other terminals and base stations in the system.

The allowable range for this parameter is between 1 and 40.

Window Delay

Important: The value assigned to this parameter should not be changed from

the factory setting without a clear understanding of the timing of

the radio protocol.

This parameter specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) the 8525 G2/8530 G2

should add to each response window in order to accommodate the receive/transmit

switching characteristics of the radio. The value assigned must be compatible with

other units and base stations in the system. The default setting of 19 is based on the

requirements of a 2 level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud.

Poll Timeout

This parameter (in units of 16.6 ms) sets the time-out value used for automatic

channel switching. “Poll Timeout” is the time during which the 8525 G2/8530 G2

should detect at least one poll from a base station. As each “Poll Timeout” passes

without a successful poll from the base station, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 channel

quality decreases. If the channel quality falls to below 46%, the terminal begins

searching for a new channel.

A value from 1 to 200 can be assigned to this parameter.

Late TX Limit

The value entered for this parameter (measured in milliseconds) sets the maximum

allowable deviation time from the start of a response window during which an 8525

G2/8530 G2 can make a transmission. After this threshold, the transmission will not

be attempted and the 8525 G2/8530 G2 will try again at the next opportunity. For

example, suppose this parameter is set to 5. From the beginning of the response

window, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 can be up to 5 milliseconds late sending a

transmission. Beyond this threshold, the transmission is not attempted. The

vehicle-mount waits for the next opportunity.

The allowable range for this parameter is from 1 and 10 – the default value is 2.

Idle Poll Limit

Note: The “Idle Poll Limit” parameter is only used when “Enable Power

Saving” is enabled.

This parameter determines how many transmit opportunities – base station polls

with available response windows – must be consecutively skipped before the 8525

G2/8530 G2 places the radio into power-down mode for power saving. The

allowable range for this parameter is from 1 to 200. The default value is 10.

Lower values cause the vehicle-mount to enter power saving mode quickly,

extending battery life but reducing 8525 G2/8530 G2 responsiveness. Higher values

increase responsiveness but decrease battery life.

Power Off Time

This parameter determines the amount of time (in seconds) the 8525 G2/8530 G2

radio stays in power-down mode when a power down period has been initiated.

“Power Off Time” is only used when the “Enable Power Saving” parameter is

enabled.

The allowable range for this parameter is 1 to 60.

Data Squelch

Data Squelch controls the radio receiver, cutting it off when the signal is too weak

for reception of anything but noise. Receive Signal Strength Indicator values below

the Data Squelch threshold prevent further processing of the receive signal while

higher values allow further processing. The allowable range is 0 to 100 with a

default value of 0.

In noisy environments, this value can be increased to reject noise. In environments

with less noise, this value can be decreased to allow the received signal and increase

range. This parameter is stored in the radio’s non-volatile memory.

5.5.9 Bluetooth Setup

Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is

intended for Personal Area Networks (PAN). The technology is based on a

short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When two

Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a 2 meter range of each other, they can

establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not

require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate.

Note: The Bluetooth radio uses an internal antenna.

The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When

a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected

during the scan.

The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.

At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once

you highlight a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become

available.

Services

A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to

communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles

that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial

service), and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is

another available profile.

•

To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then

click on the Services button or double-click on the device entry.

Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a consider-

able amount of time for the Services dialog box to appear – it may appear

to be frozen.

Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:

•

Highlight the service to be activated.

•

Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu.

The Activation menu contains four options – Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing and

Encrypt.

Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will

appear in the Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or

COM as the port name. BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but

older applications assume serial ports are COM. When using COM as the port name,

the Bluetooth manager will try to find and use a free port between COM7 and

COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for use. The

port is available as soon as it is activated.

Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the

service is RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed

except for debugging purposes.

Then you can choose the ‘Outgoing’ option from the Activation menu (highlight a

service, right-click or press the [SPACE] bar to display the Activation menu).

The Authentication and Encryption options can be changed only before activation.

To change these after activation, deactivate the service first, then change the options.

Once a service is activated, all the information regarding the service, including the

RFCOMM channel number, is saved in the registry. (Some remote devices may

change their RFCOMM channel numbers when they reboot, so your saved setting

may not work when the remote device is rebooted. In that case, you must deactivate

the service and reactivate it to detect the current RFCOMM channel.)

Set PIN

PINs can be set for each device by pressing the Set PIN button in the Devices tab, or

you can skip this step and try to connect to the device first.

Important: The remote device must have authentication enabled, otherwise

the PIN authentication will fail.

•

Scanner Properties Setup

The symbologies listed in the Barcodes tab change to reflect the scanner you choose and

the bar codes it supports. Keep in mind that the items listed in the Barcodes tab are used

to configure external, non-decoded scanners only. Decoded scanners cannot be

configured using the symbologies listed under this tab. See “Decoded Scanners” below

for information about these scanners.

5.5.13.2 Decoded Scanners

While non-decoded scanners are configured through the Scanner Properties dialog

box (refer to “Non-Decoded Scanners” on page 138 for details), decoded scanners

must be configured by scanning special configuration bar codes. In these cases, the

scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for configuration purposes.

•

For Symbol decoded scanners, refer to the LS3408 programming guide.

For PowerScan (PSC) decoded scanners, refer to the Powerscan Programing

Guide (PSC).

Note: For port setup information, refer to “Ports Tab” on page 154.

5.5.13.3 Non-Decoded Scanners

All the available bar code symbologies for this type of scanner can be selected in

this tab.

A ‘plus’ sign (+) to the left of the menu item indicates that a sub-menu of parameters

is attached.

•

Tap the stylus on the + sign to display the sub-menu.

To change a parameter value, double-tap on the parameter. If you need to

type a value, a dialog box is displayed in which you can type a new value.

If you need to change a yes or no value, double-tapping on the parameter

toggles between yes and no.

To change a parameter value, press [SPACE] or the [RIGHT] arrow key. If

a field requires text entry, a text box is displayed in which you can enter the

appropriate value.

5.5.13.4 Non-Decoded Options

Dot Time (msec)

The value selected for Dot Time determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting

dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. Choosing this

option displays a window in which you can enter a value.

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

8525 G2/8530 G2 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 30is generally a good compromise setting.

5.5.13.5 Code 39 Settings

Enabled

Set this parameter to on to enable Code 39 or ‘off’ to disable it.

Full Ascii

If this parameter is enabled (set to on), the characters +, %, and / are used as escape

characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character

is converted to an equivalent ASCII character.

Include Check

If this parameter is enabled (set to on), the check digit is included with the decoded

bar code data.

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 8525 G2/8530 G2 vehicle-mount performs the strip

function before it processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the pre-

fix 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.

5.5.13.18 Bar Code Options Tab

This tab allows you to tailor the double-click parameters and the display options

associated with your scanner.

Double Click

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

This parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in

your 8525 G2/8530 G2 following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that

you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress

is displayed.

released, this information is cleared from the screen.

Scan Indicator

When this parameter is enabled, 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. When you choose this

option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value.

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

Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep

These parameters determine whether or not the vehicle-mount emits an audible

scanner ‘beep’ when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is

performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it.

Soft Scan Timeout

This parameter is used by the SDK ‘Scan’ function (soft-scan: starting a scan

session via the SDK function rather than through a physical trigger press). The value

assigned to this parameter determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec.

(default is 3 sec.).

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 this

parameter is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple

External Bar Code Readers

6.1 External Bar Code Readers

6.1.1 PowerScan™ Standard, LR and XLR Bar Code Scanners

The 8525 G2/8530 G2 supports Psion Teklogix’ PowerScan™ industrial bar code

scanner with standard, long range and extra long range options.

To connect this scanner to the 8525 G2/8530 G2, attach the device to the tether port.

Review your “PowerScan Programing Guide (PSC)” before you begin.

6.1.2 Entering Data With The Bar Code Reader

Note: For helpful scanning tips, refer to “Scanning Techniques” on page 52.

When a label is scanned successfully, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 will beep if configured

appropriately and the scan LED will flash. Occasionally, the bar code labels are

poorly printed or damaged and cannot be read properly. In this case, use the

keyboard to enter data from the label.

6.2 Bluetooth Peripherals

All 8525 G2/8530 G2 are equipped with Bluetooth radios, making 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

8525 G2/8530 G2 is limited to between 2 and 5 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 802.11g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz

band. Although the 8525 G2/8530 G2 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 8525 G2/8530 G2 at the same time, they

cannot transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system

throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11g 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 118 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 8525 G2/

8530 G2 host.

6.3.5 Wiring Guidelines

Before installing the cables between the computer and other devices, consider

the following:

•

Ensure the vehicle body and underlying wiring is not damaged while drill-

ing mounting holes.

•

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 the cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid, and other

potential hazards.

Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories

8525 G2/8530 G2 Installation In High Voltage Vehicles

•

Keep the cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that

may pull on the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

Leave enough slack on the cables so that the computer can be removed

easily for maintenance.

Note: Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage of the vehicle.

6.3.6 8525 G2/8530 G2 Installation In High Voltage Vehicles

Warning:

Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For

8525 G2/8530 G2 installations on vehicles with batteries above

this voltage, ensure the 8525 G2/8530 G2 power connector is

mounted in a secure location out of the vehicle operator’s reach.

Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure

that the unit’s power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator,

and is not exposed to water or other liquids. To accomplish this:

•

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 waterproof heat shrink material.

Wrap the connector securely with 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

8525 G2/8530 G2 vehicle-mount.

6.3.7 8525 G2/8530 G2 Installation In Vehicles

Note: The metal chassis of the 8525 G2/8530 G2 is equipped with a ground lug

(located on the underside of the 8525 G2/8530 G2, beside the cable man-

agement bar) to provide an additional ground to the vehicle, if desired.

The grounding strap must connect from the ground stud on the vehicle-

mount 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.

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 from catching on

stationary items when the vehicle is in motion.

Wiring Vehicle Power To The 8525 G2/8530 G2

6.3.8 Wiring Vehicle Power To The 8525 G2/8530 G2

Warning:

The 8525 G2/8530 G2 accepts DC power sources between 10V

and 90VDC nominal.

Applying a voltage above 90VDC or reversing polarity may

result in permanent damage to the 8525 G2/8530 G2 and will void

the product warranty.

A 1.8 meter (6 ft.) extension power cable (PN 13985-302 std or –301 display off) is

supplied with your 8525 G2/8530 G2. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused

(maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The 8525 G2/8530 G2 draws no

more than 8A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional

wiring (minimum 18 gauge), connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at

least 90 VDC, 10A.

When connecting PN 13985-301 (display-off version), ensure that the screen

blanking wires (clearly labelled) and the power wires (red/black leads) are reliably

secured away from each other, or are separated with reliably secured certified

insulation. Minimum 2.8mm distance, or 0.4mm distance through insulation is

required for the separation.

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 8525 G2/8530 G2 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 8525 G2/8530 G2 after the key switch – that is, the

8525 G2/8530 G2 cannot be switched on without turning the vehicle 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 8525 G2/8530 G2 before the switch.

Keep in mind that the 8525 G2/8530 G2 will continue to operate with or without

vehicle power as long as its back up 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 fuse

assembly must be located as close as practical to the DC supply, and shall connect to

the positive side of the DC supply.
