About iBrowse
The goal of the iBrowse application is to provide a web browser for
Intermec computers that is compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer
but permits only limited, “locked-down” functionality.
You should be aware that no application can ever be completely locked
down on a Windows CE-based computer. Windows CE platforms are
multi-tasking environments where any number of applications can be active
simultaneously. In addition, Windows CE provides numerous services and
utilities that launch and remain active after a warm-boot or cold-boot.
These services and utilities may, at any time, force pop-up menus or
windows on top of any active application, including iBrowse. For example,
Microsofts Connection Manager application may pop up Network Status
messages at any time. Such messages and pop-ups are beyond the control of
lock-down applications.
iBrowse has different compatibility modes depending on the operating
system and the computer model. All Pocket PC computers, Windows
Mobile computers, and the CK30 standard version are Pocket Internet
Explorer compatible. All other Windows CE computers (with the
exception of the CK30 standard CE image) support Internet Explorer 6-
like functionality.
What “Locked Down” Means
“Locked down” means deliberately limited functionality. Users do not have
the ability to exit the program, key in URLs, or use the Back button. Users
are also prevented from accessing the normal Navigation bar, Command
bar, and Start Menu in Pocket Internet Explorer. The web page navigation
completely defines where the user is to go. The onscreen keyboard is still
available if needed, but iBrowse prevents it from popping up when an edit
box gets focus.
Locked-down applications are can prevent users from getting “lost” in other
parts of the system, help prevent users from changing system settings, and
help ensure that users stay as focused and therefore as productive as
possible. An administrator can modify system settings or exit the iBrowse
application as necessary using a password.
Note: “700 Color” denotes the Intermec 730, 740, 741, 750, 751, 760,
and 761 Mobile Computers, unless otherwise specified.
Note: The iBrowse application is included in the default factory build of
the CK30 and CK31 computers. No purchase is required.
14 iBrowse User’s Guide
iBrowse Requirements
iBrowse only runs on 700 Color, CK30, CK31, CK32, CK60, CN2A,
CN2B, CN3, CN30, CV30, and CV60 computers.
A nonvolatile form of storage must be available. This can include
CompactFlash (CF) storage cards, Secure Digital (SD) storage cards,
Flash file storage, and disk on chip (DOC).
iBrowse requires approximately 450 Kb of free space on the storage
media and approximately 400 Kb of memory space.
iBrowse does not support user rotation of the screen. Buttons that
normally perform this rotation are disabled.
The iBrowse .ini File
The .ini file associated with iBrowse controls many of the features of
iBrowse. For example, some of the options specified in the .ini file are the
home page to navigate to, the exit password, and the display of information
icons. Semicolons can be used in the .ini file to denote comments. You
must save the .ini file as an ASCII file. If you edit the .ini file, save it as a
standard ASCII file, not as a Unicode file. The file name of the .ini file is
Browse.ini. The .ini file must always be in the same directory as the
Browse.exe application. The installation location varies based on the
computer and available storage options.
META tags are available to update most .ini settings. See “Custom META
Tags for iBrowse” on page 41 for information.
Admin Section
The [admin] section is required in the .ini file.
Homepage
Password
This key is required. This key holds the password that allows an
administrator to exit iBrowse and enter the operating system. This may be
necessary if you are modifying system settings. If you leave the password
field blank, you can exit the system without entering a password. The
password in the default .ini is 123456 or 111111 (the sample HTML files
Note: Related desktop icons shown to the left apply to all computers,
except for the CK30 computer. See “Keyboard Navigation” on page 72 for
information on navigating within the iBrowse application.
This key is required. This key specifies the page which iBrowse attempts to
load on startup. Tapping the Home icon on the navigation bar also
attempts to load the home page. The home page can be a URL on the
Internet or a location in the local file system.
iBrowse User’s Guide 15
can change the password). If there is a space after the = on the password line
of the .ini file, a space becomes the password. If no password is required,
make sure that there is no space after the equal sign. The password is
limited to six characters but keep in mind that entering more than a few
alphabetic characters is extremely difficult on some computers.
F1HelpPage
This key is required. This key specifies a page to display if the F1 key is
pressed on a computer. The .cab file installs a default help page
(F1HELP.HTML) in the Windows directory. It is recommended that you
install the help page in non-volatile storage on the computer. The [Keys]
section of the .ini file has the F1HelpKey key that must be set to TRUE to
enable this option.

page to be lost. The page will be reset to its original condition.
16 iBrowse User’s Guide
PerformNetworkTests
This key is optional. This key enables or disables network tests that are
performed when iBrowse starts up and before every page navigate. The
purpose of these tests is to inform the user when navigating to a new web
page is not possible. Valid values are TRUE (default) and FALSE. Set this
value to FALSE to disable the network testing and associated error
messages.
Display Section
You can include an optional section named [Display] to display status
indicators on the command bar. Indicators for the current battery status
and signal strength are available. A key is also available to indicate how
often to update the icons on the screen. The keys and valid values are as
follows.
DisplayBatteryStatus
This is the key that shows the battery icon on the command bar. Valid
values for this key are TRUE and FALSE. If this key is not specified, the
default setting is FALSE. For more information on the icons and their
meaning see “Running iBrowse” on page 25 for more information.
DisplaySignalStrength
Use this key to display an icon on the command bar that indicates the
wireless signal strength. Valid values for this key are TRUE and FALSE. If

battery status and signal strength. If this key is not specified or an invalid
value is supplied, the interval is set to the default of 30 seconds. Valid values
are 5 to 120 seconds.
Scanner Section
You can include an optional [Scanner] section to control certain aspects of
scanning.
Note: iBrowse supports built-in scanners, the SF51 Cordless Scanner in
700 Color computers, and the 1552 PicoLink Scanner in CV60 computers.
iBrowse User’s Guide 17
UseWedgeMode
This key specifies whether the scanner functions in wedge mode. Valid
values are TRUE and FALSE. FALSE is the default setting if this key is not
found or is not valid. This key is optional
Setting this value to TRUE causes iBrowse to use the scanner in wedge
mode. This mode enables the scanner on all pages and “wedges” the data
from a valid scan into the keyboard buffer. This makes it appear as though
the scanned data came from keyboard input.
When using this mode, the META tags to enable scanning are ignored by
iBrowse. The META tags to configure scanner symbologies are still
available if the supported symbologies need to change. Set this value to
FALSE to force each web page to enable scanning via META tags. You
cannot change this value via the downloaded META tags.

Keys Section
The [Keys] section is an optional section that can map specific keys to
handle actions such as navigating home and opening other iBrowse dialogs
such as the about dialog, exit dialog, and options dialog. The section also
contains a value to enable the [F1] help key functionality.
Leaving any option blank disables that option, preventing the user from
using that option. The Options and Exit screens prompt for a password
entry before allowing access to either screen. Any keys used in this section
are not available for data entry. For example, if the x key is mapped for exit,
the user is not able to type in a value with an x. Keys mapped using the
IBrowse_OnKey META tag precede these persistent keys.
Note: PL4 printing is only supported on 700 Color computers running
Pocket PC and CN3 computers running Windows Mobile 5.0.
