Apps & Components
Q: Is the Intermec Client Pack (ICP) available as a factory loaded
configuration on the CN51 with WEH6.5?
A: The Intermec Client Pack provides both a data collection
terminal emulator (Intermec Terminal Emulator) and a data
collection and lockdown browser (Intermec Browser). ICP is not
available as a factory loaded option on the CN51.
Q: Are standalone licenses for ICP available for the CN51 with
WEH6.5?
A: Yes, standalone ICP (Intermec Client Pack) licenses are available
for all WEH6.5 configurations of the CN51. ICP component
software (ITE and Intermec Browser) can be downloaded from
the Intermec public web. ITE version 1.26 or greater and
Intermec Browser version 1.04 or greater are required for
use with the CN51. Downloaded software will run with full
functionality for 60 days before requiring a license. Buying
and deploying a license will allow the downloaded software to
run as a licensed product. Standalone licensing includes
one year of software Maintenance. This allows a customer of
standalone licensing to upgrade their ICP software for the first
year after purchasing the license. Software maintenance can be
extended by purchasing additional ICP Maintenance licenses.
Q: Do the ICP licenses for the CN51 with WEH6.5 work the same
as ICP licenses for CN50 and other Intermec mobile computers?
A: Yes. There has been no change to the way ICP licenses work.
Factory installed licenses are valid for the version of ITE and
Intermec Browser that are installed on the device. There is
no maintenance or upgrade capability built into factory
installed licenses. To upgrade to a version of ITE or Intermec
Browser that is released after the computer was built requires
that a separate ICP maintenance license be added. Standalone
ICP licenses are valid for all versions of ITE and Intermec
Browser that are released prior to 1 year after the license is
purchased. To extend the upgrade capability beyond one year
requires that separate ICP maintenance licenses be purchased.
Q: Is ICP available for the CN51 with Android?
A: No. There are no current plans to develop ICP for Android. Terminal
emulation clients for Android are available from multiple ISVs and
third parties, including Wavelink and Stay-Linked.
Q: Is Intermec Browser available as a stand-alone application for
the CN51 with WEH6.5?
A: Yes. Intermec Browser, formerly known as iBrowse, is an
integral part of the data collection system for customers
running new web-based WMS applications. Intermec Browser is
the only locked-down web client designed to work exclusively
with Intermec mobile and fixed mount computers, including
all CN51 configurations. Standalone Intermec Browser licenses
are available for all configurations of the CN51. Intermec
Browser version 1.04 or greater is required for use with the CN51
mobile computers.
Q: Is Intermec Browser available for the CN51 with Android?
A: Not at this time. A Data Collection Web API is being developed
to enable Intermec-specific extensions to the standard Android
browser; it will be available in the near future.
Q: Will the CN51 with WEH6.5 support HTML5?
A: Yes. Intermec Browser V2.00 and later includes the option to
run on an HTML5 compatible rendering engine. Intermec
Browser provides a locked-down web client interface as well
as direct access to data collection hardware such as scanners,
imagers, RFID readers and mag strip readers. With the
addition of the HTML5 rendering engine, Intermec Browser is
also compatible with modern web technologies such as canvas,
off-line storage and application caching. Intermec Browser can
be licensed separately by purchasing Intermec software license
454-026-001. In addition, Intermec's HTML5 web browser is
fully supported to run on the CN51 with WEH6.5. Note that the
standard Android browser in already HTML5 compatible.
Q: Is Intermec Launcher available as a stand-alone application for
CN51s with WEH6.5?
A: Yes. Intermec Launcher (formerly iLaunch) is a configurable
locked-down menu program that prevents end-users from
accessing the start menu and other non-authorized applications.
End-users log in and they are only able to access authorized
programs. The operating system environment is only accessible
with a password. This functionality allows for more control over
the program flow and prevents end-user distraction, keeping
them on task. The latest version of Intermec Launcher is
available for download from the intermec.com website. Intermec
Launcher version 2.00 or greater is required for use with the CN51
computers. Standalone Intermec Launcher licenses are available
for purchase and include the first year of software maintenance.
Intermec Launcher Maintenance is available to extend access to
new software downloads beyond the first year.
Q: Is Intermec Launcher available for CN51s under Android?
A: Not at this time. Plans are underway to develop a kiosk/
lockdown mode for Android devices for release at a later date.
Many third-party program launchers are available for Android.
In addition, mobile device management clients such as SOTI
provide whitelist/blacklist support, enabling IT to control which
apps the device user is able to execute.
