MC67NA Operating System 1.06.02 FIPS Release Notes

Introduction

MC67 is a ruggedized device based on Android for the enterprise market that blends the capabilities of a smart phone with those of a traditional enterprise PDA. MC67 has a number of enterprise-grade features, including a touch-screen that can be used with gloves, support for stylus input for signatures, barcode capture capability.
It also features MX to make the Android operating system more enterprise ready, with security enhancements and hooks for device management tools, and is designed for a longer lifecycle than the typical smart phone. MC67 is designed in response to customer feedback from using consumer-grade smart phones in the workplace.

With MC67 the workers can capture practically any type of data — from bar codes and signatures to photos and videos — improving on the job efficiency and customer service. The screen is optimized for Enterprise viewing, helping ensure the battery lasts a full shift. And with a drop, tumble and environmental sealing specification you can count on, it has the durability required to serve your field workers for years. 

This software is intended to be loaded and run on the MC67NA FIPS SKU devices. MC67NA device with FIPS JB OS can be directly updated to FIPS KK OS using the recovery upgrade package. It is important that care be taken to match the device configuration with the appropriate Recovery update package. If an incorrect Recovery update package is loaded, the device may not boot.

Known issues:

   1. Key remapping takes approximately 40 seconds after the first reboot to take effect. There is no delay on subsequent reboots.

   2. MC67 Numeric Android Keyboard has multi-tap physical key board. If a user needs to input a character 'B', he needs to press orange modifier key + press the numeric key '2' twice. The limitation with multi tap key is, it cannot return unique key codes for multi-taps. Ex: Numeric key '2' returns character 'A' on single tap, return character 'B' on double tap and returns character 'C' on triple tap. But the key code returned by Android for numeric key '2' is KEYCODE_A ( value=29) regardless of the single tap, double tap or triple tap. This limitation affects those applications which have logic based on the key code value returned by Android. Ex: If an application is designed to open calendar settings on receiving KEYCODE_B ( value=30), it would not function as intended. Reason: Android would never return KEYCODE_B (value=30) on double tap. Instead, it would return KEYCODE_A ( value=29). Since this is a design limitation of Android framework, we cannot fix this issue. Workaround: Using the SIP keyboard, it would return the desired key code and the applications designed on the key code input, would work properly.

   3. Cisco any connect VPN client and Open connect VPN client are not supported.

   4. If Data Partition of the device is encrypted JB to KK Persistence cannot be supported hence a enterprise reset is required before OS upgrade.
