MC36 Software Functionality

SW Functionality – Scan Config

• Provides UI interfaces for user to setup Scan Engine

• Provides a background service and communicate with built-in scanner to allow user do scan bar code in applications without adding any customization

SW Functionality – Scan Config APPLICATIONS

• Application Association

• Specify applications that is able to receive scan data in foreground from scanner

• Initially the association list contains ScanDemo, Browser, Email, Messaging and QuickSearchBox

• Quick Launch • Enable/disable to launch ScanDemo by Scan trigger key in Launcher

SW Functionality – Scan Config

BARCODE INPUT

• Enabled • Enable/Disable scanner decode input (Enabled by default)

• Decoders • Configuration for enable/disable individual barcode type

• Decoder Params • Provides options to configure decoder parameters for each individual barcode type

• UPC/EAN Params • Provide setup for generic UPC/EAN

• Reader Params • Specific settings for reader (scanner)

• Scan Params • Specific settings for scanning behavior

• Encoding supports UTF-8, and Traditional/Simplified Chinese encoding (GB18030, GBK, BIG5, BIG5-HKSCS)

SW Functionality – Scan Config

BARCODE INPUT

• Keystroke Output (The Keystroke Plug-in captures and sends data received from

the scanner to the foreground applications by emulating keystrokes)

• Enabled: Enables or disables

• Action key character: Enables or disables decoding of a special character embedded within a bar code for use in native Android applications

• Basic data formatting: Allows Scan Config to add a prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data before passing it to the Keystroke Output

• Intent Output (The Intent Output plug-in allows the captured data to be sent to an

application in the form of an implicit Intent)

• Enabled: Enables or disables this plug-in

• Intent actions: Enter the Intent Action name

• Intent Category: Enter the Intent Category name

• Basic data formatting: Allows to add a prefix and/or a suffix to for the Intent output

SW Functionality – Scan Config

Configuration Management

• Import : Allows the user to import Scan Config configuration file from specified path.

The imported configuration overrides the current configuration

• Export: Allows the user to export the current Scan Config configuration to specified

path

• Restore: Restore the configuration to factory defaults

• About: Shows the versions of scanner API, scanning framework, Scan Config and

scanner firmware

SW Functionality – Scan Config

Configuration Management

• Auto Import (The configuration will be used the next time an associated application is opened )

• Scan Config monitors the Enterprise folder /enterprise/device/settings/scanconfig/autoimport for prefs.xml file.

• Once prefs.xml is found, Scan Config imports the file and replaces the existing configuration.

• Then, Scan Config deletes the prefs.xml after finishing import.

• Configuration persistence after Enterprise reset: • Enterprise folder is persistent and maintains data after an Enterprise

reset

• After an Enterprise reset, Scan Config checks folder for a configuration file

• MC36 provides buttons can be programmed to

• Difference functions

• Shortcuts to install applications

• MC36 programmable Keys

• Center scan button

• Left & Right scan button

• P1 & P2

• Configuration File import/export

• The Button Remapping configuration can be exported to an xml file and imported

• Wakeup Configuration:

• Center, Left and Right Scan three keys

SW Functionality – Key Programmer

SW Functionality – SOTI MobiControl (MDM Application)

• Provisioning: MobiControl Stage provides configuration functionality for Wifi, VPN, NFC and Bluetooth via scanning barcode

• Devices Management: MobiControl Agent provides tool for IT

administrator to manage devices (E.g. Enforce complex passwords, Turn features on and off, implement hardware and OS restriction policies, and remotely lock and wipe devices,…etc)

• Applications Management: MobiControl Agent provides over-the-air distribution, configuration, updating, and removal of applications

• Content Management: MobiControl Agent can configure priority levels, specifying time durations for document availability, stagger content distribution by location

MC36 Programming

SDK Introduction

• The SDK Add-on package includes: • Libraries for Symbol APIs and Mediatek APIs.

• Sample code for Scan API

• SDK Add-on Installation (Use Eclipse as example)

• Make sure the Android SDK and Eclipse are installed.

• Extract MC36 SDK Add-on file to “add-ons” folder of Android SDK Installation

folder

• Open Android SDK Manager to check if MC36 SDK add-on is installed

• Use SDK Add-on in Eclipse:

• Open Eclipse IDE

• Create a new Android Project; Select Symbol Add-on in “Compile With” as target
