This document contains "SmartDocs" capabilities. This will allow you to easily see only the content that is relevant to the Zebra device you are working with.
MX Features will be available on a device based on a combination of factors:
After identifying the version information for your device, simply select them in the SmartDocs bar. Any section that does not apply to your device will be greyed out. You can clear all settings by hitting the SmartDocs button. Clicking the back and next buttons on the SmartDocs bar will navigate to the sections that are relevant to your device.
The WirelessMgr turns wireless radios On or Off, including Bluetooth, GPRS, NFC, etc.
Android devices often support a variety of wireless communication interfaces. These include bidirectional interfaces such Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN/cellular data), Bluetooth, and Near Field Communications (NFC). They also include unidirectional (receive only) interfaces such as that of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Wireless radios that can transmit may significantly affect battery life if turned on unnecessarily, and also may need to be turned off in certain situations (e.g. when on an airplane or in "incendiary" environments).
The WirelessMgr can prevent the state of various wireless radios from being changed, thus providing a sort of "lock" that is untouchable by the device user.
This parm will allow you to control whether the state (On/Off) of the Bluetooth radio can be changed.
Note: On JellyBean devices, this parm allows you to change the state of the Bluetooth radio by Turning it On or Off.
Parm Name: Bluetooth
| Option | Name | Description | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Do not change | This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will cause no changes to be made as to whether the state of the Bluetooth radio can be changed. |
OSX: 4.2+ MX: 4.2+ |
| 1 | Enable | This value will allow changes to be made to the state of the Bluetooth radio. On JellyBean devices, this will cause the Bluetooth radio to be Turned On. |
OSX: 4.2+ MX: 4.2+ |
| 2 | Disable | This value will prevent changes from being made to the state of the Bluetooth radio. On JellyBean devices, this will cause the Bluetooth radio to be Turned Off. |
OSX: 4.2+ MX: 4.2+ |
This parm allows you to change the state of the Bluetooth radio by Turning it On or Off. Turning the Bluetooth radio On would allow the device to connect to other to other Bluetooth devices that have previously been paired or would allow the setup of a new pairing.
Note: This parm is only available from KitKat onwards. It is not supported on JellyBean devices.
Parm Name: BluetoothState
| Option | Name | Description | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Do not change | This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will cause no changes to the state (On/Off) of the Bluetooth radio. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 5+ |
| 1 | Turn On | This value will cause the Bluetooth radio to be Turned On. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 5+ |
| 2 | Turn Off | This value will cause the Bluetooth radio to be Turned Off. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 5+ |
This parm allows you to change the state of the Near Field Communications (NFC) radio by Turning it On or Off. Turning the NFC radio On would allow the device to communicate with NFC tags by reading or writing them when they are in near proximity to the device.
Parm Name: NFCState
| Option | Name | Description | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Do not change | This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will cause no changes to be made to the state (On/Off) of the NFC radio. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 10+ |
| 1 | Turn On | This value will cause the NFC radio to be Turned On. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 10+ |
| 2 | Turn Off | This value will cause the NFC radio to be Turned Off. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 10+ |
This parm allows you to change the state of the Global Positioning System (GPS) radio by Turning it On or Off. Turning the GPS radio On would allow the device to receive information from GPS satellites and thereby determine the position of the device.
Parm Name: GPSState
| Option | Name | Description | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Do not change | This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will cause no changes to be made to the state (On/Off) of the GPS radio. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 1+ |
| 1 | Turn On | This value will cause the GPS radio to be Turned On. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 1+ |
| 2 | Turn Off | This value will cause the GPS radio to be Turned Off. |
MX: 4.3+ Android API Level: 1+ |
This parm allows you to change the state of the Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) cellular radio by Turning it On or Off. Turning the WWAN radio On would allow the device to establish a cellular data connection and would also enable cellular voice connections, if supported.
Parm Name: WWANState
| Option | Name | Description | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Do not change | This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will cause no changes to be made to the state (On/Off) of the WWAN radio. |
OSX: 4.3+ MX: 4.3+ |
| 1 | Turn On | This value will cause the WWAN radio to be Turned On. |
OSX: 4.3+ MX: 4.3+ |
| 2 | Turn Off | This value will cause the WWAN radio to be Turned Off. |
OSX: 4.3+ MX: 4.3+ |
Note: In JellyBean devices, this XML will change the state of the Bluetooth radio by Turning it On.
