Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Configuring Parameters

You can configure many parameters on the 751G, such as the bar code symbologies it decodes or the network settings. These characteristics are controlled by configuration parameters. The values you set for these configuration parameters determine how the computer operates. Use configuration commands to configure the 751G.

Configuring the Computer With Intermec Settings

Use the Intermec Settings applet to configure the 751G and view system information. You can access the Intermec Settings applet while running any application.

From the 751G desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-tap the Intermec Settings icon.

For detailed information on most of the commands available in the

Intermec Settings applet, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference

Manual (P/N 073529) via the Intermec web site. Go to “Before You

Begin” for access information.

Synchronizing the Computer System Time with a Time Server

It is important that the time on all of your 751Gs be synchronized with a network time server to ensure real-time communications and updates. Network time servers acquire Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from an outside source such as the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The 751G uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize with a network time server.

The default reference time server is the USNO (tock.usno.navy.mil). To synchronize the time on your 751G with this time server, you must have a valid connection to the Internet. You can also synchronize the 751G system time with a corporate network server within your firewall that is SNTP- capable. To use an internal corporate network server, you need to set the command name in the registry.
