Developing a Web-Based Application
You can develop web-based data collection applications for use
on the CN2G. For help, see any HTML source book. The
CN2G contains Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 for Windows CE for
you to use. The Microsoft standard IE 6.0 is available from the
desktop and provides all of the common elements you expect to
find.
To open Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Double-tap Internet Explorer from the desktop. The
Internet Explorer default window appears.
Installing Applications on the CN2G
There are several ways you can install applications on the
CN2G:
• You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.
• If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver
the .exe file.
• You can copy a directory structure that contains the
application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.
Intermec recommends using CAB files to install your
applications. The CN2G uses standard Windows CE CAB files
and will install third-party CAB files. After the CN2G executes a
CAB file, it deletes the file. To keep your CAB files so that they
can be installed when you perform a cold boot, you need to save
them to the \DiskOnChip\Persistent Copy\CABFiles directory.
On a cold boot, the CAB files are copied to the \CABFiles
directory in the object store where they are executed and deleted.
The original copy remains in the \DiskOnChip\Persistent
Copy\CABFiles directory to be installed on the next cold boot.
