Using the CK60 Handheld Computer This chapter introduces the CK60 Handheld Computer, developed by Intermec Technologies Corporation to enhance wireless connectivity needs and contains hardware and software configuration information to assist you in making the most out of your CK60 Computer.
Use this manual to understand how to use the features and options avail- able on the CK60 Computer. CK60 Computers with an IEEE 802.11b/g radio installed are Wi-Fir certi- fied for interoperability with other 802.11b/g wireless LAN devices. CK60 Handheld Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual...
In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region. To check to see if your CK60 Computer has the latest PSM build or the latest operating system build, double-tap the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop, then scroll down for the latest information displayed beneath the CK60 Version Information title.
Scanning with the 2D Area Imager The CK60 Computer has the 2D area imager, which provides the ability to scan 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scan- ning where you can position the CK60 Computer in any orientation to scan a bar code label.
To scan a bar code label with the 2D area imager 1 Press I to turn on the CK60 Computer. 2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK60 Computer steady a few inches from the label.
Changing and Installing the Battery Make sure you fully charge the LiIon battery before you install it in your CK60 Computer; and that you take at least 20 minutes to initially charge the backup battery before the backup system is fully functional.
You could also use a CK60 Power Adapter to keep the CK60 Computer on full power. For maximum efficiency, store your CK60 Computer on external power with which to charge your batteries.

Configuring the CK60 Computer Use this chapter to understand how to install applications onto your CK60 Series Handheld Computer and how to configure the CK60 Computer to communicate in your network. In this chapter are these sections: • Developing Applications for the CK60 Computer (page 38) •...
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device Converting Older Computer Applications to CK60 Applications If you have an existing application that you would like to run on the CK60 Computer, you can use the PSK to convert that application. The Intermec PSK is a set of libraries and tools that you use to convert your existing C applications into C++ applications for use on the CK60 Computer.
Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to store your application: • In the basic CK60 Computer, there are two built-in storage options: the Object Store and the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a Disk on Chip (DOC) Flash that looks like a disk.
PC and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter 2, “Windows CE” for an URL from which to download the latest application. 1 Connect the CK60 Computer to a PC using a USB or serial cable. You may have to detach, then reattach the cable to “wake” the connection.
Installing Applications Using a Secure Digital Card If you have an SD card for your CK60 Computer, this is the best place for you to install applications. 1 If you are using an SD card reader, suspend the CK60 Computer, remove its SD card, and place it in the reader.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer Launching Your Application Automatically Note: This describes the system component startup for Intermec provided components only. It does not describe the bootstrap loader process. It only describes the component installation process provided by Windows CE. It is assumed that you understand the Microsoft CE startup procedures and are familiar with how Microsoft components start up.
AutoExec is reserved for Intermec use to configure Intermec-specific appli- cations. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab (AUTOCAB.EXE), to install platform cab files to the system, such as Intermec Data Collection. When the AUTOEXEC.EXE process completes, Run Autorun then checks for the existence of AutoRun (AUTORUN.EXE) and executes this pro-...
(AUTOEXEC.DAT). This script file must be in the same direc- tory as the program itself. Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec Private.” AutoExec installs Intermec applications such as Data Collection, Security Supplicants, Intermec Management, control panels, and shortcuts from components found in the Flash File System.
Page 57
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer Keywords that AutoExec supports are: QUIET Enables user notification when an error occurs. LOGGING Enables logging to a trace file. SIGNAL Enables the specified named event and is immediately signaled. Useful for notifying other compo- nents of the current status.
Note: If you need to add steps at boot time, add them to AUTOUSER.DAT, not to AUTORUN.DAT. AUTORUN.DAT is pro- vided by Intermec and is subject to change. AUTOUSER.DAT is the desig- nated place for the end user to add steps to the boot time process.
Chapter 3 — Configuring the CK60 Computer The return code from the process uses the standard error codes defined in WINERROR.H. Example: ; use AutoCopy to copy the control panel from flash file store to windows. autocopy.exe -S"\Flash File Store\System\Audio.cpl" -D"\Windows\Audio.cpl"...
Set to 0 to prevent showing any installation progress interfaces. Also prevents user from canceling instal- lation. Set to 1 to show normal installation. Set to 2 to show Intermec installation progress interface (user can see what is installing but cannot cancel it). Default is 1 (show normal).
Use con- figuration commands to configure the CK60 Computer. Configuring with the Setup Assistant When first setting up the CK60 Computer, use the Setup Assistant to set or enable basic network parameters and connect your CK60 Computer to the network.
A network connection icon appears in the taskbar. Synchronizing the CK60 Computer System Time with a Time Server It is important that the time on all of your CK60 Computers be synchro- nized with a network time server to ensure real-time communications and updates.

On the CK60 Computer, use the Local Bluetooth control panel applet to enable Bluetooth communica- tions before you configure the SF51 Scanner.
Creating an SF51 Connection Label To initiate a connection from the SF51 Scanner, use your EasySet applica- tion to create an SF51 connection label with the CK60 Bluetooth address. The device address is listed in the Local Bluetooth control panel applet on your CK60 Computer, like the illustration shown on the previous page.
In this applet, tap Scanners, Symbologies, then tap (+) to expand the SF51 Scanner connections to view MAC addresses, firmware version numbers, and whether each scanner is connected to the CK60 Computer. When you clear (uncheck) Enable scanner port, the SF51 Scanner is disconnected from the CK60 Computer.
Configuring Security Use the next sections to understand how to configure each type of security on your wireless CK60 Computer. If you choose not to use security, see “Using Configuration Parameters” on page 90 for help. If you are using 802.1x security, this sections also assumes that your authentication server and access points are properly configured.
