CHAPTER 8 CRADLE INSTALLATIONIntroductionA system is comprised of a family of hardware devices interconnected through a WLAN radio backbone to the retail establishment’s server(s). The hardware devices are the MC18 mobile computers, single-slot or three slot cradles, power supplies and cables. A dispenser typically refers to a piece of furniture which has mounted to it the cradles, their power supplies, and cables.Customers (retail establishments) design their own dispensers to meet their particular floor space and display requirements. The information in this chapter should help a customer to design a dispenser and to understand the installation requirements.Installation of the Single-Slot CradleRemoving the Front CoverUse this procedure to remove the front cover:1. Loosen two captive screws securing the front cover to the base.Figure 8-1 Remove Screws2. Pull front cover away from base and then lift out of the base.IMPORTANT The MC18 cradles are NOT compatible with MC17 cradles and the MC17 cradles are NOT compatible with MC18 cradles.

Cradle Installation 8 - 7System CablingThere are some general limitations that must be taken into account when designing a dispenser and ordering hardware elements of a system:•No more than six cradles can be powered off of one power supply and power cable 25-66420-01R.•No more than 12 cradles can be powered off of one power supply and “Y” power cable 25-67592-01R.•No more than six cradles can be powered off each leg of the “Y” power cable.•A power supply cable runs from the power supply to one or two cradles.•Cradle interconnection cables run between each successive cradle in the chain.•The power supply is air cooled, and as such expects some circulation of fresh air around it. Do not enclose it in a small airtight enclosure.•Power supplies must be mounted in their natural, landscape orientation. They contain fans and their vents must allow for the free flow of air.•Power supplies should be mounted either above or below dispensers and entrance heads. Mounting of power supplies to the right or left is not preferred.•When laying out furniture, cable routing should be as direct as possible. Routing should follow vertical and horizontal runs through the modules. As part of each power supply that is shipped is a set of labels numbered 1 through 12. These labels are to be used to track the number of loads on a particular supply. Each label is affixed to the cradle interconnection cable when a cradle is added to the daisy chain. When all labels are used, the supply is fully loaded.Figure 8-10 shows how the maximum number of cradles can be cabled to a power supply using power cable 25-66420-01R.Figure 8-11 shows how the maximum number of cradles can be cabled to a power supply using the “Y” power cable 25-67592-01R. Note that there are only six cradles per leg of the power supply cable, and only 12 cradles in total.Figure 8-10 Maximum Number of Charge Cradles per Power Supply

This section provides information about installing software and files on the MC18.Download/install software using:•ActiveSync / Windows Mobile Device Center•IPL.ActiveSyncUse ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to copy files from a host computer to the MC18. 1. Ensure that ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center is installed and that a partnership has been created, see Chapter 4, Sync with Host Computer.2. Connect the MC18 to the host computer using the cradle, see Connecting the MC18 to a Host Computer on page 4-2 for connection information.3. On the host computer, select Start > All Programs > ActiveSync (or Windows Mobile Device Center).4. Select Explore (or File Management).Figure 9-1 ActiveSync Explorer5. Double-click the folder to expand the contents of the folder.

Touch that directory in the left pane to display its contents in the right pane.7. Drag the desired file(s) from the host computer to the desired mobile device folder.•Program Files folder: files stored in this folder are discarded after a cold boot.•Application folder: files stored in this folder are retained after a cold boot.IPLUse IPL to download files onto the MC18, to download customized flash file system partitions to the MC18 and load hex files to the flash memory of the MC18.There are two types of updates supported by the MC18: partitions and files. The file system used by the MC18 is the same as the file system used on a desktop computer. A file is a unit of data that can be accessed using a file name and a location in the file system. When a file is replaced, only the contents of the previous file are erased. The operating system must be running for a file to be updated, so the IPL cannot perform individual file updates as it is a stand-alone program that does not require the operating system to be running.A typical partition is a group of files, combined into a single “partition” that represents a specific area of storage. Examples of partitions are the flash file systems such as Platform or Application. (Using the desktop computer comparison, these partitions are roughly equivalent to a C: or D: hard disk drive.) In addition to the “hard disk” partitions, some partitions are used for single items such as the operating system, monitor, or splash screen. (Again using a desktop computer comparison, these partitions are roughly the equivalent of the BIOS or special hidden system files.) When a partition is updated, all data that was previously in its storage region is erased - i.e. it is not a merge but rather a replacement operation. Typically, the operating system is not running when partitions are updated, so IPL can perform partition updates.Partition images for selected partitions can be created by TCM. All partition images suitable for use by IPL are in hex file format for transfer by TCM from the development computer to the MC18.Upgrade requirements:•The hex files to be downloaded (on development computer)•A connection from the host computer and the MC18 (either serial or wireless)

Application Deployment 9 - 5•• TCM (on development computer) to download the files.Once these requirements are satisfied, the MC18 can be upgraded by invoking IPL and navigating the menus.Updating ImagesThe MC18 contains tools that update all operating system components. All updates are distributed as packages and/or hex images. Update packages can contain either partial or complete updates for the operating system.

$9 - 14 MC18 Product Reference GuideFlash StorageIn addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Windows CE mobile computers, the MC18 is also equipped with a non-volatile Flash-based storage area which can store data (partitions) that can not be corrupted by a cold boot. This Flash area is divided into two categories: Flash File System (FFS) Partitions and Non-FFS Partitions.FFS PartitionsThe MC18 includes two FFS partitions. These partitions appear to the MC18 as a hard drive that the OS file system can write files to and read files from. Data is retained even if power is removed.The two FFS partitions appear as two separate folders in the Windows CE file system and are as follows:•Platform: The Platform FFS partition contains Symbol-supplied programs and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). This FFS is configured to include DLLs that control system operation. Since these drivers are required for basic MC18 operation, only experienced users should modify the content of this partition.•Application: The Application FFS partition is used to store application programs needed to operate the MC18.Working with FFS PartitionsBecause the FFS partitions appear as folders under the Windows CE file system, they can be written to and read like any other folder. For example, an application program can write data to a file located in the Application folder just as it would to the Windows folder. However, the file in the Application folder is in non-volatile storage and is not lost on a cold boot (e.g., when power is removed for a long period of time).Standard tools such as ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center can be used to copy files to and from the FFS partitions. They appear as the “Application” and “Platform” folders to the ActiveSync explorer. This is useful when installing applications on the MC18. Applications stored in the Application folder are retained even when the MC18 is cold booted.There are two device drivers included in the Windows CE image to assist developers in configuring the MC18 following a cold boot: RegMerge and CopyFiles.RegMerge.dllRegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows registry edits to be made to the Windows CE Registry. Regmerge.dll runs very early in the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain Flash File System folders during a cold boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM.Since the registry is re-created on every cold boot from the default ROM image, the RegMerge driver is necessary to make registry modifications persistent over cold boots.RegMerge is configured to look in the root of two specific folders for .reg files in the following order:\Platform\ApplicationRegmerge continues to look for .reg files in these folders until all folders are checked. This allows folders later in the list to override folders earlier in the list. This way, it is possible to override Registry changes made by the$

$Application Deployment 9 - 15Platforms partitions folders. Take care when using Regmerge to make Registry changes. The DCP for MC18xxc50 contains examples of .reg files. Typically, do not make modifications to registry values for drivers loaded before RegMerge. However, these values may require modification during software development. Since these early loading drivers read these keys before RegMerge gets a chance to change them, the MC18 must be cold booted. The warm boot does not re-initialize the registry and the early loading driver reads the new registry values.Do not use Regmerge to modify built-in driver registry values, or merge the same Registry value to two files in the same folder, as the results are undefined.CopyFilesWindows CE expects certain files to be in the Windows folder, residing in volatile storage. Windows CE maintains the System Registry in volatile storage. CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a cold boot. Files can be copied from a non-volatile partition (Application or Platform) to the Windows or other volatile partition during a cold boot. During a cold boot CopyFiles looks for files with a .CPY extension in the root of the Platform and Application FFS partitions (Platform first and then Application). These files are text files containing the source and destination for the desired files to be copied separated by “>”. The following example from the file application.cpy is contained on the demo application partition included in the DCP for MC18xxc50. Files are copied to the Windows folder from the Flash File System using copy files (*.cpy) in the following order:\Platform\ApplicationExample:\Application\ScanSamp2.exe>\Windows\ScanSamp2.exeThis line directs CopyFiles to copy the ScanSamp2.exe application from the \Application folder to the \Windows folder.Non-FFS PartitionsNon-FFS Partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on the MC18 that can be upgraded. Unlike FFS Partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating system is running. They also contain system information. Non-FFS partitions include the following:•Windows CE: The complete Windows CE operating system is stored on Flash devices. If necessary, the entire OS image may be downloaded to the MC18 using files provided by Symbol Technologies. The current OS partition on the MC18 is included as part of the TCM installation package. Any upgrades must be obtained from Symbol Technologies. This partition is mandatory for the MC18. •Splash Screen: a bitmap smaller than 16 kb (and limited to 8 bits per pixel) is displayed as the MC18 cold boots. •IPL: This program interfaces with the host computer and allows downloading via cradle or serial cable any or all of the partitions listed above, as well as updated versions of IPL. Use caution downloading NOTE Regmerge only merges the .reg files on cold boots. The merge process is skipped during a warm boot.NOTE 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is 16 bits per pixel.$

IPL is mandatory for the MC18.•Partition Table: Identifies where each partition is loaded in the MC18.Downloading Partitions to the MC18TCM is used to specify a hex destination file for each partition and download each file to the MC18. This download requires a program loader stored on the MC18. The MC18 comes with a program loading utility, Initial Program Loader (IPL), stored in the MC18’s write-protected flash.
