Page 611 Glossary 802.11/802.11b A radio protocol that may be used by the Symbol Spectrum24 radio card. Symbol radio cards that use the 802.11 protocol also have an ESS_ID. ACK/NAK ACK/NAK is the default software handshaking.
Page 612 MC9000-G with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs PRG Access Point Access Point (AP) refers to Symbol’s Spectrum24 Ethernet Access Point. It is a piece of communications equipment that manages communications between the host computer system and one or more wireless mobile computers. An AP connects to a wired Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet wired network and IEEE 802.11...
Page 613 Bar Width Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar. Baud Rate A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events occurring per second. When one bit is the standard "event,"...
Page 614 ® GL-4 MC9000-G with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs PRG BIOS Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a standard API used to interface with standard PC hardware. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information.
Page 615 Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology. Check Digit A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit.
Page 616 Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs PRG Continuous Code A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
Page 617 Domain Name The Control Panel allows you to set a Domain Name for the DNS Server, if used (e.g., symbol.com). It is set on the Network tab of the Control Panel. Disk Operating System. This is basic software that allows you to load and use software applications on your computer.
Page 618 ® GL-8 MC9000-G with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs PRG The Electronic Product Code is an electronically coded tag that is intended as an improvement on the UPC bar code system. The EPC is a 64- or 96-bit tag which contains a number called the Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN).
Page 619 GL-9 Glossary Frequency Hopping The use of a random sequence of frequency channels to achieve spread spectrum compliance. Stations that use frequency hopping change their communications frequency at regular intervals. A hopping sequence determines the pattern at which frequencies are changed. Messages take place within a hop.
Page 620 ® GL-10 MC9000-G with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs PRG IEC (825) Class 1 This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 120 seconds of laser operation within any 1000 second window and an automatic laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails.
Page 621 GL-11 Glossary Input/Output Ports I/O ports are primarily dedicated to passing information into or out of the mobile computer’s memory. Series 9000 mobile computers include Serial and USB ports. (Internet Protocol) The IP part of the TCP/IP communications protocol. IP implements the network layer (layer 3) of the protocol, which contains a network address and is used to route a message to a different network or subnetwork.
Page 622 Mobile Computer In this text, mobile computer refers to the Symbol Series 9000 wireless portable computer. It can be set up to run as a stand-alone device, or it can be set up to communicate with a network, using wireless radio technology.
Page 623 Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations from this value. Nominal Size Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes are used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal). Null Modem Cable An RS-232 cable used to connect two personal computers together in close proximity for file transfer.
Page 624 Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between the bars and spaces of a symbol. A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is the reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars.
Page 625 An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are: 1. Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar code.
Page 626 Software Development Kit Self-Checking Code A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect encoding errors within the characters of a bar code symbol. Shared Key Shared Key authentication is an algorithm where both the AP and the MU share an authentication key.
Page 627 Symbol Length Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
Page 628 A “terminal emulation” emulates a character-based mainframe session on a remote non-mainframe mobile computer, including all display features, commands and function keys. The MC9000-G Series and MC9000-G RFID supports Terminal Emulations in 3270, 5250 and VT220. TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol that has no directory or password capability.
