Cradle. A cradle is used for charging the mobile computer battery and for communicating with a host computer, and
provides a storage place for the mobile computer when not in use.
D
DCP. See Device Configuration Package.
Decode. To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then analyze the content of the specific bar code
scanned.
Decode Algorithm. A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers
encoded within a bar code symbol.
Decryption. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. Also see, Encryption and Key.
Depth of Field. The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a
certain minimum element width.
Device Configuration Package. The Device Configuration Package provides flash partitions, Terminal Configuration
Manager (TCM) and the associated TCM scripts. With this package hex images that represent flash partitions can
be created and downloaded to the mobile computer.
E
EAN. (European Article Number) This European/International version of the UPC provides its own coding format and
symbology standards. Element dimensions are specified metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail.
EAP. (Extensible Authentication Protocol) A general authentication protocol used to control network access. Many
specific authentication methods work within this framework.
EAP-PEAP. (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) A mutual authentication
method that uses a combination of digital certificates and another system, such as passwords.
EAP-TLS. (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security) A mutual authentication method that uses
digital certificates.
Encoded Area. Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code pattern, including start/stop characters and
data.
Encryption. Encoding data to prevent it from being read by unauthorized people.
ENQ (RS-232). ENQ software handshaking is also supported for the data sent to the host.
EMDK. Enterprise Mobility Developer's Kit.
Ethernet. An IEEE standard network protocol that specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common
transmission medium.
