CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURATION

Overview

This chapter describes how to set up and configure the MK3000 applications, communications, and network
settings which include parameters such as the device name, internet browser settings, date and time, and
several other key settings.
Configure these settings remotely using the System Configuration Manager (SCM), or locally on the MK3000
using the Control Panel. These settings are saved in the configuration registry file (mkconfig.reg) in the
MK3000 Application folder to maintain them across cold boot cycles. For information on using the Control
Panel, refer to the Microsoft Applications for Mobile and Windows CE 5.0 User Guide.

System Configuration Manager

The System Configuration Manager (SCM) is a Windows
creates/edits an MK3000 configuration file (mkconfig.reg). Load this file onto the MK3000 and reboot the
MK3000 to set configuration parameters for the device. The configurable options for the MK3000 are defined in
an XML file that is available from Support Central at http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support. SCM
is also available at Support Central.
SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings.

File Types

SCM uses three types of files:
•
Symbol Configuration Template (.SCT) files are XML files that define the configurable parameters for a
device.
•
Registry Configuration Service Provider XML files for device provisioning.
•
CAB Provisioning Format (.CPF) file which is a .CAB archive that contains the provisioning XML. This file
is downloaded to the MK3000 and merged upon a cold boot.
