Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC  
What is RoHS?  
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design  
and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous  
substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous Substances  
Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexava-  
lent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product.  
Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the market”  
in EU member states after July 1, 2006.  
RoHS Logo  
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Teklogix  
Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:  
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the  
battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signi-  
fies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below,  
a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it  
was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.  
Note:  
Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space  
limitations or as a result of their exempt status.  
Disclaimer  
Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-to-date. In  
addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein; these changes will be  
incorporated into new editions of the publication.  
Psion Teklogix Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes in the prod-  
uct(s) and/or the program(s) described in this document without notice, and shall not be  
responsible for any damages, including but not limited to consequential damages, caused by

Chapter 2: Basic Checkout  
Setting Up The Model RA2040 802.11g Radio  
Note:  
WEP cannot be disabled if you are using WPA or WPA-PSK authentication.  
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included as part  
of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs. Designed to enhance WEP, TKIP  
uses the original WEP programming but ‘wraps’ additional code at the beginning  
and end to encapsulate and modify it, encrypting each data packet with a unique  
encryption key.  
Authentication  
802.11 supports a number of subtypes of network authentication services: Open,  
Shared, WPA and WPA-PSK.  
Using Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The  
station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentica-  
tion management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiv-  
ing station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity  
of the sending station.  
Using Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a  
secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless  
network communications channel.  
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to  
provide strong data encryption, and offers two user authentication and key manage-  
ment methods.  
The first method of user authentication is intended for environments using a central-  
ized Authentication Server, such as RADIUS. User authentication is based on IEEE  
802.1X and mutual authentication based EAP.  
In environments where a centralized Authentication Server or EAP framework is  
not available, user authentication is based on a ‘Pre-Shared Key’ method—WPA-  
PSK. If you are using Pre-Shared Key authentication, you will need to manually  
enter a password (Master Key) in the Access Point or Wireless Router and enter the  
same password in each client device that accesses the wireless network. The manu-  
ally configured WPA password (Master Key) automatically starts the TKIP data  
encryption process.  
Network Key  
This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent  
10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the  
access point.

“802.1X” is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area net-  
works. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet network,  
whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS or MD5 encap-  
sulated in an “EAP” is used in conjunction with the “802.1X” standard to authenti-  
cate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed in the dropdown menu next  
to the ‘EAP’ option.  
To activate “802.1X”, tap on the checkbox next to ‘Enable 802.1X authentica-  
tion’, and press the [SPACE] key to enable it.  
EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol):  
This dropdown menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The items in  
this dropdown menu will vary depending on your network setup. Keep in mind also  
that some authentication protocols require that you select a ‘Certificate’. By select-  
ing the Properties button, you will be able to select a Certificate. “Certificate  
Assignment” on page 90 provides a website that outlines how to create certificates  
for your network.

Assigning An IP Address  
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a pre-  
ferred network. The radio will search for the SSID and will compare the WEP and  
authentication information you specified. If there is a match between your 8515 set-  
tings and the access point settings, the 8515 will communicate on the network  
through the access point.  
2.7.1  
Assigning An IP Address  
If your network is not using a DHCP server, you will need to assign an IP address.  
Figure 2.7 Configuring An IP Address  
Note:  
Choosing the Renew button forces the 8515 to renew or find a new IP  
address. This is useful if, for example, you are out of communication range for  
a longer period of time and your 8515 is dropped from the network.

EAP-Type & Encryption: Security settings. These settings allow you to enhance the

2.9.2.1 SCU Security Capabilities  
The SCU provides integrated security to protect transmitted data as well as the vehicle-  
mount infrastructure that transmits and receives data.  
A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a  
critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an  
interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and en-  
cryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as  
well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated suppli-  
cant that supports a broad range of security capabilities, including:

802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for WPA2  
and WPA.  
Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.  
Common EAP types include:  
•
EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It  
provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication.  
•
PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to encrypt EAP traf-  
fic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP:  
- EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate for use against  
Windows Active Directory and domains.  
- EAP-GTC, resulting in PEAP-GTC: This is for authentication with one-time pass-  
words (OTPs) against OTP databases such as SecureID.  
•
•
LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP  
does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active  
Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to  
offline dictionary attacks.  
EAP-FAST: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to protect  
against offline dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the use of  
server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.  
Note:  
PEAP and EAP-TLS require the use of Windows facilities for the configura-  
tion of digital certificates.  
SCU EAP Types  
The following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be configured  
in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With each of these four  
types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the config, you will be prompted to enter  
credentials the first time the radio attempts to associate to an access point that supports  
802.1X (EAP).  
Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:  
•
•
•
PEAP-GTC: SCU supports static (login) passwords only.  
LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended.  
EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning.  
EAP-TLS will work with a Summit DC-802.11 SC CF (Model RA2041) radio module  
when Windows Zero Config (WZC) rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With  
WZC, the native Windows supplicant instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used.

2.9.2.2 EAP Credentials  
Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:  
•
If the credentials specified in the config are incorrect and that config is used, the authen-  
tication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted to enter  
correct credentials.  
•
•
If the credentials are not specified in the config, when the radio tries to associate using  
that config, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.  
When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials, or cancel  
the operation.  
- If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and authenticate.  
- If you enter invalid credentials and tap on OK, the radio will associate but will not  
authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter credentials.  
- If you tap on Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap on OK, the radio will not  
attempt to associate with that config until you perform one of the following actions  
(while the config is the active config):  
-
-
-
Cause the vehicle-mount to go through a power cycle or suspend/resume.  
Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the Diags windows.  
Modify the config, and tap on Commit.  
Alternatively, you can choose another config as the active config and then switch back to the  
config for which EAP authentication was cancelled.  
2.9.2.3 ThirdPartyConfig  
If you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating sys-  
tem’s Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for the CF radio  
installed in the unit.  
Choosing this config means that WZC must be used to define the following radio and secu-  
rity options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption.The SCU settings for ThirdParty-  
Config include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and Radio Mode. These SCU  
settings along with SCU global settings and the WZC settings will be applied to the  
radio module.

The Internal Backup Battery  
3.2  
The Internal Backup Battery  
The 8515 vehicle-mount is equipped with an internal battery that will provide backup power  
to the unit for up to 30 seconds of normal operation. The display will be blank during this  
time. After 30 seconds, the unit will shut off to preserve the contents of RAM. The backup  
battery provides one hour of memory backup. For configuration information, please see  
“Power Properties” on page 82; for specifications, see “Internal Lithium-Polymer Battery”  
on page 145.  
The backup battery is not user accessible. It must be replaced by authorized Psion Teklogix  
personnel.  
3.3  
3.4  
The Stylus  
The stylus is supplied with a holder with double-sided adhesive tape so that it can be at-  
tached wherever is most convenient for you.  
The Keyboard  
The 8515 provides a 58-key QWERTY or ABC alphanumeric keyboard layout (see Figure  
3.1 on page 33).  
Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. If a key or key  
function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.  
Note:  
A soft keyboard that is a replica of the external keyboard is available. Refer to  
“Input Panel” on page 105 for details.  
3.4.1  
Modifier Keys  
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] ad [ORANGE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a  
modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, a square bracket is  
printed in orange print above the [4] key. Pressing the [ORANGE] key followed by the [4]  
key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4.  
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that  
they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be  
pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.  
3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys  
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the  
bottom of the 8515 screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, ctrl keyis dis-  
played at the bottom of the unit screen. Once another key is pressed, the modifier key  
becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The 8515  
The Keys  
3.4.1.2 Locking Modifier Keys  
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed  
in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [BLUE] key twice locks it  
on—it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.  
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it  
off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase representation at  
the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.  
Note:  
The locking function of modifier keys can be disabled so that pressing a modi-  
fier key once will lock the key ‘on’. If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of  
these keys, pressing a modifier key once will lock it ‘on’. Pressing the same  
key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 74  
for details.  
3.4.2  
The Keys  
The [BLUE] And [ORANGE] Keys  
The [BLUE] and [ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional symbols and keys.  
These additional symbols and keys are colour coded in blue and orange print above the key-  
board keys.  
Press the [BLUE] key to access functions or characters displayed in blue print on the key-  
board. Press the [ORANGE] key to access functions or characters displayed in orange print  
on the keyboard.  
The [SHIFT/CAPS] Key  
The [SHIFT/CAPS] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters. Pressing  
[BLUE][SHIFT] turns the [CAPS] key on so that all alpha characters are printed in upper-  
case until the [BLUE][SHIFT] sequence is pressed again.  
The Arrow Keys  
The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow—up, down,  
left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the  
next character you type will appear.  
The [INS] Key  
The [INS] key inserts a character at the cursor position.  
The [DEL] Key  
The [DEL] key erases the character at the cursor position.

The [BKSP] Key  
The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one  
character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.  
The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key  
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application  
dependent.  
The [TAB] Key  
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.  
The [ESC] Key  
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or  
activity and return to the previous one.  
The [SPACE] Key  
Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, press-  
ing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.  
The [HOME] Key  
The [HOME] key moves the cursor to the top of the form or page.  
The [END] Key  
The [END] key moves the cursor to the bottom of the form or page.  
The [PgUp] And [PgDn] Keys  
The [PgUp] key displays the previous screen of information. The [PgDn] key displays the  
next screen of information.

Audio Indicators  
3.7.3  
3.8  
Audio Indicators  
The 8515 beeper provides a variety of sounds and can be configured to emit a sound when a  
key is pressed, a keyboard character is rejected, scan input is accepted or rejected or an oper-  
ator’s entry does not match in a match field.  
Note:  
Refer to “Volume And Sound Properties” on page 81 for details about the Vol-  
ume & Sound Properties dialog box.  
Scanning  
Decoded scanners must be configured by scanning special configuration bar codes. In these  
cases, the scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for configuration purposes.  
The 8515 supports a variety of one dimensional (1D) scanners and two dimensional (2D)  
laser and imager scanners. “Scanning Techniques” outlines the mechanics of a successful  
scan. In addition, “Troubleshooting” on page 42 provides some helpful suggestions should  
the scan fail.  
3.8.1  
Scanning Techniques  
Note:  
External scanners can be connected to the 8515 serial or USB device port.  
•
•
Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.  
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back  
into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.  
•
Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or 2D scanner, make certain that the scan  
beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on either end  
of the symbol.  
•
•
If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval-shaped framing mark  
is centered within the bar code you want to scan.  
When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the bar code.  
Movement blurs the image.  
•
•
Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.  
Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.  
3.8.2  
Scan LED Indicators  
External scanners have integrated LED indicators that are not controlled by the 8515.

Troubleshooting  
3.8.3  
Troubleshooting  
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:  
•
•
Is the 8515 on?  
Check that the scanner settings are correctly configured (see “Scanner Settings” on page  
109).  
•
Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to  
verify that the problem is not with the bar code.  
•
•
Check that the bar code is within the proper range.  
Does the vehicle-mount display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hard-  
ware problem in the 8515.  
•
•
Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?  
Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.  
3.8.4  
3.8.5  
Operating One Dimensional (1D) Laser Scanners  
•
•
Turn the 8515 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.  
Aim at the bar code and press the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear  
until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.  
Operating PDF Laser Scanners  
This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.  
•
•
Turn the vehicle-mount on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.  
Aim at the bar code and press the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering  
the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator are visible until  
a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed.  
3.9  
Monitoring The Network Connection  
If your vehicle-mount is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate with  
the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative  
strength of the communication link. To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:  
•
Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the Wireless Statistics dialog box.  
Note:  
Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on a  
network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging  
in again.

Connecting An 8515 To A Windows 2000 Or XP PC  
®
®
ActiveSync —Microsoft PC connectivity software— can be used to connect the 8515 to a  
Windows 2000 or XP PC (desktop or laptop) running this software. By connecting the 8515  
to a computer with a cable and running ActiveSync on the PC you will be able to:  
•
•
View 8515 files from Windows Explorer.  
Drag and drop files between the 8515 and the PC in the same way that you would  
between PC drives.  
•
Back up 8515 files to the PC, then restore them from the PC to the vehicle-mount again,  
if needed, etc.  
To install ActiveSync, follow the step-by-step instructions provided with the program’s  
setup wizard. Refer to the following website for details:  
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/activesync35.mspx  
Note:  
You’ll need to run an application—usbsetup.exe—to configure Windows to  
recognize the 8515. For information about this USB application, refer to  
Appendix C: “USB Setup Application”.  
3.11  
Connecting An 8515 To A Windows Vista™ PC  
Device connections to a PC are handled by different applications for Windows Vista™ and  
Windows XP or earlier.  
Unlike earlier Windows operating systems, ActiveSync (see Section 3.10) is not used to  
connect devices to Windows Vista™. The Windows Vista™ ‘Windows Mobile Device  
Center’ makes the connection automatically. The Windows Mobile Device Center helps you  
to set up new partnerships, synchronize and manage information, and transfer files between  
your device and PC. Refer to the following website for details:  
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx  
When a connection is established with the Psion Teklogix 8515 Vehicle-Mount Computer  
running Windows Embedded CE 5.0, you will be able to map to the drive and deploy soft-  
ware (however, it will not be recognized by the Windows Mobile Device Center).

Caring For The Touchscreen  
3.12.2 Caring For The Touchscreen  
The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive  
coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is  
susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or  
cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating.  
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen pro-  
tector. These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the  
useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily  
removed and replaced.  
The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:  
•
•
•
•
•
mustard, ketchup,  
sodium hydroxide,  
concentrated caustic solutions,  
benzyl alcohol, and  
concentrated acids.  
3.12.3 Cleaning The 8515  
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent  
to wipe the unit clean.  
•
•
•
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the vehicle-mount unit.  
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning.  
To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Navigating In Windows Embedded CE 5.0 And Applications  
Note:  
In order to access many of the menus discussed in this chapter, the security  
level must be set to “Supervisor” (see “Security Level” on page 52).  
Graphic user interfaces like Windows Embedded CE 5.0 for portable devices and desktop  
Windows operating systems (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista™, etc.) utilize  
‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every  
‘point and click’ action.  
Windows Embedded CE 5.0 supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard  
shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference—the ‘point and click’ action is accom-  
plished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any com-  
bination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping.  
4.1.1  
Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus  
Note:  
If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may need  
recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 38.  
Each 8515 Vehicle-Mount Computer is equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks  
like a pen—that is used to select objects on the touchscreen.  
Note:  
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with  
your 8515.  
To open a file, launch an applet, or open a folder:  
Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.  
•
To navigate through a dialog box—for example, display the information in a tab, choose a  
radio button, check a checkbox, etc.:  
•
Tap the stylus on the tab, radio button, checkbox, etc.  
4.1.2  
Navigating Using The Keyboard  
If your touchscreen has been disabled, you can use the keyboard rather than a stylus to  
choose icons and navigate dialog boxes, display the desktop, etc. If your unit has already

Macro Keys  
The options in this tab allows you to determine how modifier keys on your 8515 behave. For  
each modifier key—[ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ORANGE] and [BLUE]—you have the  
following options in the drop-down menu: Lock, OneShot, and OneShot/Lock.  
Note:  
Keep in mind that checking the taskbar lets you know whether or not these  
keys are locked on. For example, if the [ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’, the  
taskbar at the bottom of the screen displays it in uppercase charac-  
ters—ORANGE KEY. If this key is displayed in lowercase characters in the  
taskbar, you’ll know that the orange key is not locked. It will become inactive  
following a key press.  
Important: Once you’ve assigned a One Shot mode to a modifier key, you need to tap on  
the OK button at the top of the tab to activate your selection.  
Lock  
If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it ‘on’  
until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off.  
OneShot  
If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed.  
OneShot/Lock  
OneShot/Lock allows you to combine these functions. When you choose this option and you  
press the modifier key once, it remains active only until the next key is pressed.  
If you press the modifier key twice, it is locked ‘on’, remaining active until the modifier key  
is pressed a third time to turn it ‘off’.

Scancode Remapping  
A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has  
a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remap-  
ping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be  
remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents  
the [ENTER/ON] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change vol-  
ume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.  
There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Orange table  
and the Blue table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Orange table

Scancode Remapping  
defines key presses that occur when the [ORANGE] modifier is on; the Blue table defines  
key presses that occur when the [BLUE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scan-  
codes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab  
accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box.  
Figure 5.14 Scancode Remapping Tab  
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the Scancodes in hexidecimal. If  
the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column la-  
belled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column  
labelled ‘Function’.  
If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain  
blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key number (for example,  
Macro 2).

If external power is removed, the battery will supply enough power to the computer to allow  
it to shut down gradually with up to 30 seconds of run time to do this. The display will be  
blank during this time. The computer will save any sessions, and the state of the computer is  
maintained. There is also a one hour backup of the state of the computer from when the ex-  
ternal power was removed. All of the activities that were occurring when external power  
was removed will be stored in memory. When external power is applied again within the  
one-hour window, the computer will resume from suspend mode and you can continue  
working from where you left off. The battery will also keep the RTC running for 7 days.

Advanced Power Properties  
When the 8515 is idle—not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, etc.) or system ac-  
tivity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, etc.)—the value chosen in the  
Suspend Timeout dropdown menu determines when the unit will go to suspend state  
(appear to be off).  
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters  
Suspend state. In Suspend state, the 8515 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off.  
The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the system  
from suspend state. When the 8515 is in suspend state, the network connection is broken im-  
mediately; therefore you must re-establish the network connection.

Trigger Mappings  
Figure 5.29 Manage Triggers Menu  
5.10.1 Trigger Mappings  
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or  
application, the “owner(s)” of the trigger source. When the specified key is pressed, the  
owner (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.  
Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1]  
cannot be mapped to the Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger type  
is different.  
A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key  
data, or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is  
used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters  
to applications.  
Double-Click  
When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between  
0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger Type” on page 90.  
Show All  
By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or  
applications that are not currently active are not normally displayed. By checking this  
checkbox, all mappings, both active and inactive, are displayed.

key [F1], for the Trigger Owner selected.  
Note:  
It is possible to map the same source to different owners—for example, [F1]  
can be mapped to both the Imager and RFID. If so, both devices/operations  
will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially  
with devices that draw a great deal of current, such as imagers.  
It is also possible to map different sources to the same owner.

Certificate Assignment  
Trigger Type  
You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally,  
when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to  
the “owner”—that is, the application receiving the trigger press information followed by a  
“trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released,  
and then pressed again, a “double-click” event is generated. If a mapping with the type  
Up/down has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of  
trigger events.  
Trigger Owner  
This identifies the driver or application receiving the trigger presses.

Bluetooth Setup  
Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is intended  
for Personal Area Networks (PAN). The technology is based on a short-range radio link that  
operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a  
2 meter range of each other, they can establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a  
radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate.  
Note:  
The Bluetooth radio uses an internal antenna.

The Devices Tab  
Note:  
During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by names.  
Only the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio coverage range  
will be retrieved.  
The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When a  
service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected during  
the scan.  
The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.  
At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once you high-  
light a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available.  
5.12.1.2 Services  
A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to communicate, and  
you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles that can be activated include:  
DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial service), and LANPPP (LANAccessUs-  
ingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is another available profile.  
•
To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then click on the  
Services button or double-click on the device entry.  
Note:  
If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take considerable time  
for the Services dialog box to appear—it may appear to be frozen.  
Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:  
•
•
Highlight the service to be activated.  
Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu.  
The Activation menu contains four options—Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing and Encrypt.  
Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will appear in the  
Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or COM as the port name.  
BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but older applications assume serial  
ports are COM. When using COM as the port name, the Bluetooth manager will try to find  
and use a free port between COM7 and COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to  
BSP9 are available for use. The port is available as soon as it is activated.  
Note:  
The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the service is  
RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed except for debug-  
ging purposes.

To add a service to the Outgoing port, an active service must first be deactivated. Then you  
can choose the ‘Outgoing’ option from the Activation menu (highlight a service, right-click  
or press the [SPACE] bar to display the Activation menu).  
The Authentication and Encryption options can be changed only before activation. To  
change these after activation, deactivate the service first, then change the options.  
Once a service is activated, all the information regarding the service, including the  
RFCOMM channel number, is saved in the registry. (Some remote devices may change their  
RFCOMM channel numbers when they reboot, so your saved setting may not work when  
the remote device is rebooted. In that case, you must deactivate the service and reactivate it  
to detect the current RFCOMM channel.)  
5.12.1.3 Set PIN  
PINs can be set for each device by pressing the Set PIN button in the Devices tab, or you  
can skip this step and try to connect to the device first.  
Important: The remote device must have authentication enabled, otherwise the PIN  
authentication will fail.  
•
Highlight a device, tap on the Set Pin button, and type the PIN.  
You will receive a message, either that the PIN has been successfully validated or that it has  
been rejected.  
If the PIN has been validated, an asterisk (*) appears in the PIN column in the Devices list  
box, indicating that this device has a PIN set. Once a PIN is entered, it is saved in the registry.  
To remove the PIN:  
•
Choose Set PIN, and press [ENTER].  
If the 8515 attempts to connect to a remote device that has Authentication enabled and does  
not have a required PIN set, an Authentication Request dialog box is displayed.

5.17.2.1 Double Click  
Click Time (msec)  
This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click.  
If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is  
considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables  
this feature.  
A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in  
the ‘Click Data’ parameter. When a value is not assigned for the ‘Click Data’, double-click-  
ing the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the ‘Dot Time’ parameter and ini-  
tiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the ‘Click Data’ parameter, double-  
clicking the scanner trigger inserts the ‘Click Data’ value rather than initiating a scan.  
Click Data  
This parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your 8515  
following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key you want to  
insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.  
Pressing the [ESC] key in this dialog box resets the data to zero.  
5.17.2.2 Display  
Scan Result  
When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the  
screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible  
only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is  
cleared from the screen.

Translations Tab  
Scan Indicator  
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the  
scanner is activated.  
Scan Result Time (sec)  
The value assigned to the ‘Scan Result Time (sec)’ parameter determines how long the scan  
results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a  
value of ‘0’ (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box  
appears where you can enter a value.  
Note:  
To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has  
expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.  
Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep  
These parameters determine whether or not the vehicle-mount emits an audible scanner  
‘beep’ when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these  
parameters to either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it.  
Soft Scan Timeout  
This parameter is used by the SDK ‘Scan’ function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the  
SDK function rather than through a physical trigger press). The value assigned to this pa-  
rameter determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.).  
Scan Log File  
If this parameter is enabled, the input bar code and the modified/translated output bar code  
are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if this parameter is en-  
abled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans because the log  
file is written to persistent storage.  
5.17.3 Translations Tab  
The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in  
sequential order. Only one case will be applied to a bar code and a case will only be applied  
if all rules specified in the case are successful—if a rule within a case fails, the entire  
case fails.

5.17.3.1 Case Rules  
The case rules are defined as follows:  
•
•

No rule—ignored.  
Match at index—matches the match string at a specified index.  
Match and replace at index—matches the match string at a specified index and  
replaces/changes it.  
•
•
•
Replace at index—replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range.  
Add barcode prefix/suffix—adds a global prefix or suffix.  
Verify barcode size—verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally be assigned  
first, before creating subsequent rules.  
•
Search and replace—replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule  
cannot fail.)  
Note:  
Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into  
account when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code size is  
important, it should be checked before any rules that might change the size  
are applied.  
Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file, if  
enabled (see “Scan Log File” on page 111). This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying  
to determine why a rule is failing.

External Bar Code Readers  
The 8515 supports these external decoded scanner types:  
•
•
•
•
1D Scanner.  
2D Standard Range Raster Laser Scanner (PDF417).  
2D Imager.  
RFID Scanner.  
To connect a scanner to the 8515, attach the device to either the UART or USB port. Please  
refer to the scanner-specific programming manual provided by the manufacturer before  
you begin.  
6.1.1  
Entering Data With The Bar Code Reader  
Note:  
For helpful scanning tips, refer to “Scanning Techniques” on page 41.  
When a label is scanned successfully, the 8515 will beep if configured appropriately and the  
scan icon will be displayed on the screen. Occasionally, the bar code labels are poorly  
printed or damaged and cannot be read properly. In this case, use the keyboard to enter data  
from the label.  
6.2  
Bluetooth Peripherals  
All 8515 Vehicle-Mount Computers are equipped with Bluetooth radios, making it is possi-  
ble to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including scanners, printers, etc.  
The range of the Bluetooth radio in the 8515 is limited to between 2–5 meters.  
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Al-  
though the 8515 includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will  
not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in  
the 8515 at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously—this has a negative impact  
on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11g network,  
Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates  
(such as printers and scanners).  
Bluetooth peripherals are configured using the Bluetooth control panel applet. Refer to  
“Bluetooth Setup” on page 91 for information about setting up your Bluetooth devices for  
communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth device to deter-  
mine the method used to associate with the 8515 host.

Insert the adaptor’s USB connector into the Host USB port on the 8515.  
Connect your network Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the adaptor cable.  
6.3.1  
Network Access  
The 8515 automatically loads the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB-Ether-  
net converters.  
Network Addressing  
The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate, and communicate with  
a specific 8515 on the network.  
If a link is established between an 8515 and a host, the application on the host and on the  
vehicle-mount must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the 8515 is disconnected,  
interrupting the link.

8515 Mounting Accessories: Installing The RAM Mounting Kit  
The 8515 is installed using an articulating RAM Mount (Model MT34XX – 4 in. or 12 in.  
arm) secured to either a Vesa or circular base.

8515 Mounting Accessories: Installing The RAM Mounting Kit  
Warning: Failure to install the mount correctly, or modifications to the mount, may  
result in serious injury or damage to property. Contact Psion Teklogix Tech-  
nical Support or your Psion Teklogix representative if you have problems  
installing this mount (see Appendix A: “Support Services / Worldwide  
Offices” ). To ensure operator safety, you must use a calibrated torque  
wrench and the supplied mounting hardware when fastening the cradle and  
mount. Use of this mount in vehicles driven on public roads or highways is  
prohibited. Contact Psion Teklogix for further details.  
Before mounting an 8515 in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety  
issues that require careful attention. When mounting an 8515 use only  
approved Psion Teklogix mounting hardware and mounting parts which are  
specific to the 8515 model purchased. An improperly mounted 8515 or use of  
non-approved parts may result in one or more of the following: operator  
injury, property damage, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction,  
and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recom-  
mends that you seek professional mounting advice from the  
vehicle manufacturer.  
If it is necessary to mount the 8515 overhead, or in any position that could  
cause injury to the operator should the unit fall, it is critical that a secondary  
tether or other failsafe device be installed.  
The following restrictions must be strictly enforced:  
• Do not use the mount and/or the 8515 as a hand-hold. Using the mount  
in this manner may cause the person to fall or dislodge the mounting  
hardware and/or mounts.  
• Do not add weight or attach any other items to the mount or 8515. Addi-  
tional elements may fall causing injury, or may increase the chance of  
failure and/or damage in mounting hardware and/or mounts.  
Mounts used in industrial or vibration generating environments may be sub-  
jected to fatigue, stress, and/or part wear. A periodic inspection of the mount-  
ing hardware and mounts should be performed to ensure parts are  
retightened to the correct torque, free of fractures, excessive wear, and/or  
other environmental damage. Any parts found to be unsafe should be  
removed and replaced immediately. After inspection or replacement of parts,  
readjust the mount as outlined in step 4 below and tighten with the approved  
tightening tool (P/N 9000594).  
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, espe-  
cially for separately connected scanners and other devices with loose cables.  
If you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact Psion Teklogix for assist-

Preparation  
Important: The tilt and rotation of the cradle can be easily adjusted by the operator.  
Ensure that if the handscrew is loosened and the cradle slips, the operator  
and any equipment cannot be damaged by it. Also note that under extreme  
vibration, the mount may slowly ‘settle’, requiring readjustment and tight-  
ening of the handscrew. Psion Teklogix offers a tightening tool (P/N  
9000594) which can be used to minimize settling.  
Figure 6.5 Tightening Tool P/N 9000594  
The mounting platform on which you secure the vehicle-mount must be strong enough to  
support 25 kg. Never attach the mount to a plastic dash or a wooden platform without the ap-  
propriate backing plate and bracing. When selecting a mounting location, you must provide  
the operator access at the top, bottom, and sides.

Wiring Guidelines  
Before installing cables between the computer and other devices, consider the following:  
•
Ensure the vehicle body and underlying wiring is not damaged while drilling  
mounting holes.  
•
•
•
Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.  
Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.  
Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired loca-  
tion, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.  
•
•
•
Keep the cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid, and other  
potential hazards.  
Keep the cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may pull on the  
cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.  
Leave enough slack on the cables so that the computer can be removed easily  
for maintenance.

Non-Vehicle Installations  
Note:  
Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage of the vehicle.  
6.5.2  
6.5.3  
Non-Vehicle Installations  
Using AC power, the 8515 Vehicle-Mount Computer can be mounted at fixed locations ad-  
jacent to cross-dock doors, manufacturing stations, or in offices. The 110/220V Psion Tek-  
logix AC adaptor Model PS1400 should be used to power the computer from an AC source.  
Wiring Vehicle Power To The 8515  
Warning: The 8515 accepts DC power sources between 10V and 30VDC nominal.  
Applying a voltage above 30VDC or reversing polarity may result in perma-  
nent damage to the 8515 and will void the product warranty.  
A 1.8 meter (6 ft.) extension power cable (P/N 13985-302 or P/N 13985-301 with screen-  
blanking sensor) is supplied with your 8515 (see Figure 6.12 on page 139). This cable  
should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 6A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The  
8515 draws no more than 6A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any addi-  
tional wiring (minimum 18 gauge), connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at  
least 90 VDC, 10A.  
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead con-  
nects to the negative supply—this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to  
the vehicle body. The 8515 is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive  
chassis vehicles.  
You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is prefera-  
ble to wire the 8515 after the key switch—that is, the 8515 cannot be switched on without  
turning the vehicle key on.  
If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (P/N 19440-300) must be added  
to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only  
a 6A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly. The fuse assembly must be located  
as close as practical to the DC supply, and shall connect to the positive side of the  
DC supply.  
6.5.3.1 Installing The Power Pre-regulator (PS1300)  
The power pre-regulator should be used on all vehicles that run off voltages from 10V to  
30VDC. This helps to eliminate power irregularities that may affect the computer’s operat-  
ing system.

Wiring Vehicle Power To The 8515  
1. Attach the pre-regulator cable with male connector to the Psion Teklogix extension  
power cable P/N 13985-302, which has been installed on the vehicle.  
Important: The Psion Teklogix extension power cable P/N 13985-302 positive lead is  
red and the negative lead is black.  
It is recommended that all connections be secured with electrical tape or  
heat shrink to prevent contaminants from degrading the connection.  
2. Next, connect the pre-regulator cable with female connector either directly to the  
8515 power cable, or to the extension power cable P/N 13985-303 (for screen  
blanking option) (see Figure 6.12 on page 139 — ‘With Power Pre-regulator’).

Note:  
When installing the 8515 on vehicles operating on 24 Volts and above, the  
diode assembly (supplied with the extension power cable 13985) should be  
used to reduce the AC ripple produced by the SCR traction motor controller  
on the vehicle.  
To connect the diode, push the male connector on the diode assembly into the  
female connector on the positive (red) lead of the power cable. If the fuse  
assembly is already installed, connect the diode assembly to the fuse assembly  
as described in the previous sentence. Connect the red wire from the diode  
assembly to a fused power source on the vehicle.  
It is recommended that all connections be secured with electrical tape or heat  
shrink to prevent contaminants from degrading the connection.

APPENDIX C  
USB SETUP APPLICATION  
C.1  
USB Setup  
The USB Setup application is used to update a Windows 2000 or XP PC so that it can  
connect to a Psion Teklogix 8515 Vehicle-Mount Computer.  
Note:  
For details on connecting devices to Windows Vista™ PCs, see page 43.  
To download the USB Setup application, go to:  
www.psionteklogix.com/downloads  
This will take you to the Teknet home page.  
•
Login with your Teknet Username and Password. (If you’re not already a member of  
Teknet, you can register for free at this home page so that you can access the USB Setup  
application.).  
Once you’ve entered your name and password, the Download page is displayed.  
•
Scroll down to the Utilities heading, and then under USB Setup, tap on Download. If  
you need further assistance, please contact Psion Teklogix support (1-800-387-8898).  
System Requirements  
•
•
Windows 2000 or XP.  
ActiveSync 3.5 or later.  
The install program:  
-
updates copies of the device installation scripts usbstor.infand  
wceusbsh.infwith Psion Teklogix-specific information, and  
-
sets up a USB connection between the PC and the 8515.  
C.1.1  
Launching The Application  
Before running the USB Setup application:  
1. Unplug the 8515 from your PC, and exit all running applications.  
2. Double-click on the USB Setup executable in the directory to which you copied it.

Appendix C: USB Setup Application  
Launching The Application  
Figure C.1 Welcome Dialog  
If you check the “Install as a generic device” checkbox, the Hardware Manager on  
your PC will not prompt you to install every new device you connect to your PC. A  
generic configuration will be used for the Psion Teklogix devices.  
3. Tap on the Install button to configure your PC or the Cancel button to exit the USB  
Setup program.  
The program checks that ActiveSync is installed and that it is a supported ver-  
sion—3.5 or later. If the version installed on your PC is not supported, you’ll need  
to exit the USB Setup application, and install a later version of ActiveSync. Active-  
Sync can be downloaded from Microsoft at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads.  
In some cases, you may see an additional dialog (see Figure C.2 on page 3).
