The SmartSystems™ server lets you manage all of your SmartSystems-
enabled devices at the same time from a central host PC. The mobile
computer ships with the SmartSystems client, which means it is
SmartSystems enabled. The SmartSystems server has a console that displays
all of the computers in your network. In the console, you can right-click a
computer and a menu appears. To configure the computer, choose
Intermec Settings from the menu.
The SmartSystems server and console are part of SmartSystems Foundation
and are available from the Intermec web site. To download SmartSystems
Foundation, go to www.intermec.com/SmartSystems. For information on
how to use the SmartSystems server, see the online manual.
It is important that the time on all of your computers be synchronized with
a network time server to ensure real-time communications and updates.
Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from an
outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The 741 and
751 use Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize with a
network time server.
The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To
synchronize the time on your computer with this time server, you must
have a valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the
computer system time with a corporate network server within your firewall
that is SNTP-capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you
need to set the command name in the registry.
Bluetooth™ is a technology standard that uses short-range radio links,
intended to replace cable s connecting portable and fixed electronic devices.
The key features of Bluetooth are robustness, low complexity, low power,
and low cost. The technology offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile
phone network, and mobile computers.
You can also print wirelessly by using Microsoft APIs, including Bluetooth
extensions for Winsock and Bluetooth virtual COM ports. Information
about other Bluetooth software is in the Bluetooth Resource Kit and the
Bluetooth Resource Kit User's Guide which is part of the Intermec Developer
Library (IDL). The IDL is available as a download from the Intermec web
site at www.intermec.com/idl.
You can send and receive information to a Bluetooth device wirelessly using
the Bluetooth radio in the computer.
You can use the Bluetooth radio to perform these wireless activities:
• Print to a Bluetooth printer
