CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURATION

Overview

This chapter describes how to set up and configure MK3100 applications, communications, and network
settings which include parameters such as the device name, internet browser settings, date and time, and
several other key settings.
Configure these settings remotely using the System Configuration Manager (SCM), or locally on the MK3100
using the Control Panel. These settings are saved in the configuration registry file (mkconfig.reg) in the
MK3100 Application folder to maintain them across cold boot cycles.

System Configuration Manager

The System Configuration Manager (SCM) is a Windows
creates/edits an MK3100 configuration file (mkconfig.reg). Load this file onto the MK3100 and reboot the
device to set configuration parameters for the device. See
configurable options for the MK3100 are defined in an XML file that is available from Motorola Solutions
Customer Support at http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support. SCM is also available from Support.
SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings.

File Types

SCM uses three types of files:
•
Symbol Configuration Template (.SCT) files are XML files that define the configurable parameters for a
device.
•
Registry Configuration Service Provider XML files for device provisioning.
•
CAB Provisioning Format (.CPF) file which is a .CAB archive that contains the provisioning XML. This file
is downloaded to the MK3100 and merged upon a cold boot.
