Audio Support

Speaker

The speaker supplies audible verification signals normally used by the Windows operating system. The speaker is located on the front of the MX7 Tecton, above the MX7 Tecton logo. The mobile device emits a Sound Pressure Level (loudness) of at least 102 dB measured as follows:

•Frequency: 2650 + 100 Hz

•Distance: 10 cm on axis in front of Speaker opening in front of unit.

•Duration: Continuous 2650 Hz tone.

The default is 1 beep for a good scan and 2 beeps for a bad scan.

Volume Control

Volume control is managed by a Windows control panel, an API and the Orange-Scan up/down arrow key sequence.

Voice

All Microsoft-supplied audio codecs are included in the OS image. The hardware codecs, the input and output analog voice circuitry and the system design are designed to support voice applications using a headset connected to the Adapter, Audio accessory cable and the MX7 Tecton I/O connector.

Scanner / Imager Port

The MX7 Tecton has one integrated bar code scanner/imager port. Only one scan engine is installed at a time. Scan engines are not “hot swappable”. The MX7 Tecton may have one of the following bar code decoding engines:

•Short Range Laser Scanner, SE955I

•Base Laser Scanner, SE955E

•Multi-Range “LORAX” Laser, SE1524ER

•Hand Held Products 2D Area Imager, 5300

•Honeywell Laser Scanner, N43XX

•Honeywell Laser Scanner, N73XX

Note: 955E does not support aim mode. Any attempt to adjust the aiming beam using 955E programming bar codes will fail. The Base Laser scanner does not decode Codablock, Code93i or Telepen symbologies.

The integrated scan engine activates when the Scan button on the front of the MX7 Tecton is depressed or when the trigger on an installed trigger handle is depressed. The Data Collection application is available to set scanner/imager options.

Functionality of the integrated scan engine driver is based on the decoder driver version installed in the MX7 Tecton. Functions may include audible tones on good scan (at the maximum dB supported by the speaker), failed scan, Scan LED indication of a scan in progress, among other functions. If enabled, a vibration device provides a tactile response on a good scan event.

Bluetooth EZPair (or LXEZ Pairing)

The MX7 Tecton contains Bluetooth version 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR). Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. The wireless client retains network connectivity while Blue- tooth is active and the paired device is within range.

The user will not be able to select PIN authentication or encryption on connections from the MX7 Tecton. However, the MX7 Tecton supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the MX7 Tecton displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of the user’s passcode.

Bluetooth devices can be paired and managed using the EZPair (or LXEZ Pairing) control panel.

•The MX7 Tecton does not have a Bluetooth managed LED.

•The LED on a mobile Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation; the Scan LED on the MX7 Tecton does not illuminate.

•Bar code data captured by a mobile Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the Data Collection control panel.

•Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using a mobile Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the mobile Bluetooth scanner as the bar code data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the MX7 Tecton during final bar code data manipulation.
