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
SW Functionality Key Programmer 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 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-theair 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
