Getting Started
Overview
®
®
The Thor VM1 Vehicle Mount Computer (VMC) is a rugged, vehicle mounted computer running a Microsoft Windows Embed-
ded Standard 2009 operating system and capable of wireless data communications from a fork-lift truck or any properly config-
ured vehicle. Wireless communications are supported over a 802.11 WLAN network and, optionally, over a WWAN network.
®
The Bluetooth module supports Bluetooth printers and scanners.
!
The Thor VM1 is designed for use with a vehicle Quick Mount Smart Dock. The dock installs in the vehicle and connects to
vehicle power. The dock provides conditioned input power for the Thor VM1. Peripheral connections are on the dock. The Thor
VM1 is designed to easily be removed from the dock with a latch on the lower rear of the Thor VM1 housing. Since the dock
remains attached to the vehicle, the Thor VM1 computer can easily be moved from one vehicle equipped with a dock to another
vehicle equipped with a dock.
The Thor VM1 contains a UPS battery which, when fully charged, can power the Thor VM1 for a minimum of 30 minutes. This
can be when the Thor VM1 is not attached to a Quick Mount Smart Dock or when the Thor VM1 is attached to a dock but the
vehicle power is interrupted, such as when the vehicle battery is being changed.

Uninterruptible Power Supply
The UPS battery is automatically charged when the Thor VM1 is placed in a powered dock, provided the safe charging tem-
perature conditions below are met.
When external power is removed, the UPS automatically powers the Thor VM1 with no user intervention. When running on
UPS power, the power management timeouts may be different than when vehicle power is applied.
The UPS allows the Thor VM1 to continue operation when not mounted in a dock or when the vehicle battery is being
swapped. When fully charged the UPS battery is designed to power the Thor VM1 for a minimum of 30 minutes at tem-
peratures of -20ºC (-4ºF) or greater. For the extended temperature version of the Thor VM1, the UPS provides a minimum
of 10 minutes of operation between -20ºC (-4ºF) and -30ºC (-22ºF).
If operating on UPS power and the UPS battery becomes critically low, the Thor VM1 performs a controlled shutdown.
If there is no external power available, there must be 10% or greater power in the UPS battery or the Thor VM1 does not
power on.
The UPS status LED and the Battery Control Panel can be used to monitor the state of the UPS battery.
Safe Charging Temperature Range
The internal temperature of the Thor VM1 is the trigger for UPS battery charging.
•
•
•
The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM1 temperature is below 0°C (32°F). This corresponds to
an ambient (room) temperature of approximately -10°C (-14°F).
The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM1 temperature is above 45°C (113°F). This corresponds
to an ambient (room) temperature of approximately 35°C (95°F).
If the UPS battery cannot be charged due to a temperature extreme, the UPS Status LED (page 3-11) is amber.
Move the Thor VM1 to a different location to charge the UPS battery.
When the Thor VM1 is operated in an environment where the UPS battery is not able to charge due to temperature
extremes, the Thor VM1 should be removed to a location within the safe charging temperature range during off hours.
A discharged UPS battery cannot protect against data loss in the event vehicle power is interrupted.
Charging Timeout
•
A fully discharged UPS battery normally recharges in less than 4 hours when the Thor VM1 is in a powered dock and
within the safe charging temperature range.
•
If the UPS battery is not charged before an 8 hour (or 4 hours for some earlier software revisions) timeout period
•
•
The charge timeout is reset if charging resumes upon application of external power.
The charge timeout is reset if charging resumes when the Thor VM1 enters the permissible temperature range for
charging.
Charging and Power Management
•
Charging of the UPS battery continues when the Thor VM1 is in power management (display off, suspend or
hibernate modes).
Backup Battery
The Thor VM1 has a permanent Lithium battery installed to maintain time, date and CMOS setup information for a minimum
of 90 days. The lithium battery is not user serviceable and should last five years with normal use before it requires replace-
ment.
Note: The backup battery should only be changed by authorized service personnel.

Display
The display is a thin-film transistor display capable of supporting WSVGA graphics modes. Display size is 800 x 480 pixels.
The display covering is designed to resist stains. The touch screen allows signature capture and touch input. The display sup-
ports screen blanking to eliminate driver distraction when the vehicle is in motion.
Touch Screen
The touch screen is a Resistive Panel with a scratch resistant finish that can detect touches by a stylus, and translate them
into computer commands. In effect, it simulates a computer mouse. Only Delrin or plastic styluses should be used. A right
mouse click is simulated by touching and holding the screen for the appropriate time interval.
When a dialog box is too large for the display, tap and drag the dialog box up or down or from side to side to view the
remainder of the dialog box.
Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use an actual pen, pencil, sharp or
abrasive object to write on the touch screen.

Vehicle Mounting and Accessory Installation
Introduction
The Thor VM1 is designed to be mounted to a Quick Mount Smart Dock in a vehicle with either a RAM mount or U Bracket sys-
tem. A power cable is provided with the Thor VM1 dock. Optional communication cables are available.
Vehicle mounting brackets are specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The vehicle mounted assembly restrains the
Thor VM1 and isolates it from shock and vibration. A RAM metal table stand is available to secure the Thor VM1 and dock when
in an office environment, for example.
The vehicle mount holds the Quick Mount Smart Dock and the Thor VM1 attaches to the dock. The dock remains attached to
the vehicle, however, the Thor VM1 has a quick release located on the lower rear side that allows the Thor VM1 to easily be
removed from the dock. The Thor VM1 can be operated for a minimum of 30 minutes from an internal UPS battery when not
attached to a dock. The Thor VM1 can be transferred from one dock equipped vehicle to another for easy portability. The dock
provides accessory attachment and conditioned power for the Thor VM1.
Overhead, dash and roof support pillar mounting is via a RAM Mount or U-bracket accessory which includes all the hardware
required for vehicle mounting.
Never put the Thor VM1 into the vehicle mounted assembly until the assembly is securely fastened to the vehicle.
Prepare for Vehicle Mounting
The Thor VM1 should be secured to an area in the vehicle where it:
•
•
•
•
Does not obstruct the driver's vision or safe vehicle operation.
Will be protected from rain or inclement weather.
Will be protected from extremely high concentrations of dust or wind-blown debris.
Can be easily accessed by a user seated in the driver's seat while the vehicle is not in operation.
Quick Start
The following list outlines, in a general way, the process to follow when mounting the Thor VM1 in a vehicle. Refer to the fol-
lowing sections in this document for more details.

•
When the Thor VM1 is not installed in the dock, use the I/O Pin Cover to protect
the pins on the dock as shown.
When a Thor VM1 is installed in the dock, the I/O Pin Cover can be placed out of
the way behind the dock.
Padlock
It may be desirable to secure the Thor VM1 in the dock so it cannot be
removed from the dock. The quick release handle on the Thor VM1 is
notched to allow a user supplied standard padlock to be placed through a
hole in the bracket on the back of the Thor VM1 in the location shown
below. Once the padlock is installed, the release handle cannot be moved
so the Thor VM1 cannot be removed from the dock. The padlock shackle
must be smaller than 3/16” (4.76mm).
A cable tie wrap can be used instead of a padlock if desired.
Laptop Security Cable
The Thor VM1 can be secured with a standard laptop security cable
using the slot on the back of the Thor VM1.

5. Route the power cable the shortest way possible removing any left-over cable. The cable is rated for a maxi-
mum temperature of 105°C (221°F). Therefore, when routing this cable it should be protected from physical
damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature. Cable should be protected from physical
damage from moving parts. Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation
to deteriorate. Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the
vehicle.
6. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot inter-
vals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate outer cable jacket.
7. Connect the watertight connector end of the power cable to the Thor VM1 Quick Mount Smart Dock power
connector by aligning the connector pins to the power connector; push down on the watertight connector and
twist it to fasten securely.

Apply Touch Screen Protective Film
The optional Thor VM1 touch screen protective film is shipped in packs of 10. The protective film is flexible and treated with an
anti-glare coating on the outer surface.
The protective film is slightly larger than the Thor VM1 touch screen,
however the notches on the edge of the protective film (indicated by the
arrows) correspond to the display size of the Thor VM1. The protective
film is not adhesive. The corner edges are designed to fit between the
Thor VM1 display and the display housing to hold the protective film in
place.
A protective backing is applied to the rear surface of the protective film. A
pull tab is attached to the protective backing for easy removal of the pro-
tective backing from the film.
Pull Tab
Installation
1. Make sure the touch screen is clean and dry before installation. See Cleaning (page 4-16) for instructions on suitable
cleaning agents.
2. Pull the release tab to separate the protective backing from the rear of the protective film. Avoid touching the rear side
of the protective film while removing the liner.
3. Place the rear side of the protective film against the Thor VM1 display, roughly centering the protective film over the
display.
4. Slide the protective film until one corner can be slid back between the touch screen and the display housing as the
protective film is re-centered on the display. It may be necessary to press the edges of the protective film against the
display to ensure the entire edge slides under the display housing. It is easiest to start with one of the bottom corners.
5. Slide the protective film away from the other bottom corner. The film may bulge sligthly away from the Reference Guide
as it is being slid. Only slide the protective film enough so that the protective film can slide under the display housing on
that corner when the protective film is returned to center.
6. Repeat with each of the top corners, sliding the protective film away from the corner just enough that the protective film
can slide under the display housing when the protective film is returned to center.
7. It may be necessary to flex the protective film during the install, however use care not to flex the protective film so much
that the protective film kinks.
8. Once all corners are secure under the display housing, adjust the protective film, if necessary, so it is centered on the
touch screen.
Removal
1. To remove the protective film, slide the protective film in one direction until the edge clears.
2. Lift up on the edge of the protective film so it does not slide between the touch screen and display housing when the
protective film is slid back to the center.
3. Repeat until all edges are free and remove the protective film.

Screen Blanking
Screen blanking allows the Thor VM1 display to automatically be turned off whenever the vehicle is in motion.
Use the Screen on delay to specify the period of time in ms (milliseconds) between when the vehicle stops and the
Thor VM1 screen turns on. For example, use the delay if the switch end of the cable is attached to the vehicle’s accel-
erator pedal. Release of the accelerator may mean the truck is coasting to a stop rather than stationary. Configure the
delay to allow time for the vehicle to coast to a stop. The default value is 1000 ms.
Specify the COM Port to which the screen blanking cable is attached. If a COM port is in use by another application,
that COM port is grayed out and cannot be selected for screen blanking.
Do not enable Screen Blanking until the cable is properly connected to the specified COM port.
!
To disable screen blanking, uncheck the Enable screen blanking checkbox.
Refer to the wiring instructions, including appropriate cautions and warnings, in the Connect Power (page 4-28) sec-
tion.

the display. The default is disabled. To enable, check the Enable automatic brightness control checkbox and spec-
ify the thresholds for display backlight transition.
When enabled, the thresholds can be entered for display brightness transitions.
•
•
When a low level of ambient light is detected, the display backlight is set to low level.
When the ambient light exceeds the threshold specified in Low to medium light level (%), the display backlight is
automatically increased to a medium level.
•
•
When the ambient light exceeds the threshold specified in Medium to high light level (%), the display backlight is
automatically increased to a high level.
Likewise if the Thor VM1 is returned to a lower ambient light area, the display backlight automatically transitions to
the appropriate lower display backlight level.
Current Level
Current levels of LCD brightness and ambient light are displayed as a percentage. Ambient light level is detected by
the light sensor, located near the top right of the display.
Defroster Control
Enable the touch screen defroster, if installed, and set the trip point. Settings are ignored if the defroster is not
installed.
If a defroster is installed, the defroster can be switched between the Enabled and Disabled states using the check
box. The default is Disabled (unchecked).

tributed as cabinet (.cab) files. The .cab file contains the necessary firmware files (BIOS, EC and Screen MCU) and a utility to
install firmware files. The firmware update utility is installed as part of the factory software load. This utility can be used to
install newer firmware or to revert to older firmware.
It may be necessary to update firmware before installing an updated operating system.
Requirements
The automatic firmware update utility requires the hard drive (CompactFlash card) to have both C: and D: partitions. When
the Thor VM1 is shipped with either a Windows 7 Professional or Windows Embedded Standard 7 operating system, these
partitions are created during the manufacturing process.
The automatic firmware update utility is not supported for a Thor VM1 with a Windows Embedded Standard 2009 operating
system.
Firmware Distribution Files
The following software files must be copied to drive D: in the order listed. The files can be copied to the D: drive manually
FWxxyyzz.cab - This file contains the firmware update files and a utility to verify version compatibility and install the firm-
ware files. The file name is structured such that xx identifies the last digits of the BIOS firmware version, yy identifies the
Embedded Controller firmware version and zz identifies the screen MCU version.
UpdateFW.tag - The file that triggers the update utility to begin. Be sure to copy this file only after all the .cab file has been
copied. As soon as the Thor VM1 detects the presence of this file, the unit reboots in five seconds.
Update Process
1. Copy the files listed above to the D: drive. Copy the.cab file first then the .tag file.
Be sure to copy the updatefw.tag file to the D: drive last. The Thor VM1 begins the reboot process after detecting this
file.
!
2. The Thor VM1 automatically reboots and starts the update process after detecting the updatefw.tag file. No user
intervention is required to reboot the Thor VM1 or run the update utility after the reboot. The update utility operates in
a DOS screen.
3. If the update is not successful, the update is tried three more times.
4. If the update fails, drive D: is cleaned up leaving flashapp.exe, a flashlog.txt and a retry.tag file.
5. Review the flashlog.txt file. The log file lists what firmware (if any) has been installed. If an error has occurred during
the update process, it is detailed in the flashlog.txt file.

Configuration Cloning Utility (CCU)
Windows Embedded Standard 7 and Windows 7 Professional only.
This utility provides an automated process to read the configuration settings from one Thor VM1 and then apply those settings
to one or more other Thor VM1s with the same operating system. The Configuration Cloning Utility (CCU) is installed as part of
the factory software load. Configuration settings for the following items may be included:
•
•
•
RFTerm
EZ-Pair (Bluetooth)
Honeywell Control Panels:
» Screen blanking
» USB powered in
» Enable/disable touch screen
» COM port pin 9 +5V or RI
» EWF and HORM (Windows Embedded Standard 7 only).
The CCU allows a configuration file (ccf file) to be created by:
•
•
Reading the current program settings from the source Thor VM1
Reading the default program settings from a ddf file.
If desired, settings can be modified (advanced user only) before saving the ccf file. If any changes have been made, the CCU
can also apply them to the source Thor VM1.
The configuration file can then be copied and deployed to the destination Thor VM1(s). Options include:
•
•
Import changes only - Only those configuration settings which have been modified from their default value are applied to the
destination Thor VM1. All other settings on the destination Thor VM1 are left unchanged.
Import changes and defaults - All configuration settings are applied to the destination Thor VM1. If a setting was modified on
the source Thor VM1 the modified value is applied to the destination Thor VM1. Otherwise the default value is applied for that
setting on the destination Thor VM1.
The Configuration Cloning Utility can be ran as a GUI or command line interface.
Before attempting to import settings from RFTerm (page 5-1), or Bluetooth (page 5-6) EZPair, open the program as an
administrator and make any desired changes before importing. These programs do not write to the system registry until
!
they have been opened as an administrator.

wireless adapter without rebooting the Thor VM1.
Summit Wireless Network Configuration
The Summit client device is a Summit 802.11a/b/g/n radio, capable of 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n data rates. The
radio can be configured for no encryption, WEP encryption or WPA security.
Security Options Supported are
Important Notes
It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VM1 and host computers when using any type of certificate. Certifi-
cates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
It may be necessary to upgrade radio software in order to use certain Summit Client Utility (SCU) features. Contact
!
When using the 802.11a radio, the U-NII 1 band is the preferred band for indoor operation. For regulatory domains in
which the U-NII 3 band is allowed, the following channels are supported: 149, 153, 157 and 161. The AP must be con-
!
figured accordingly.

Aggressive Scan
When set to On and the current connection to an AP weakens, the radio
aggressively scans for available APs.
Aggressive scanning works with standard scanning (set through Roam
Trigger, Roam Delta and Roam Period). Aggressive scanning should be
set to On unless there is significant co-channel interference due to over-
lapping APs on the same channel.

CHAP, EAP-MSCHAPV2
PMK Caching
Standard
Type of Pairwise Master Key (PMK) caching to use when WPA2 is in
use. PMK caching is designed to speed up roaming between APs by al-
lowing the client and the AP to cache the results of 802.1X authentica-
tions, eliminating the need to communicate with the ACS server.
Standard PMK is used when there are no controllers. The reauthentica-
tion information is cached on the original AP. The client and the AP use
the cached information to perform the four-way handshake to exchange
keys. Opportunistic PMK (OPMK) is used when there are controllers.
The reauthentication information cached on the controllers. The client
and the controller behind the AP use the cached information to perform
the four-way handshake to exchange keys.
If the selected PMK caching method is not supported by the network in-
frastructure, every roam requires full 802.11X authentication, including
interaction with the ACS server.
If the active profile is using WPA2 CCKM, the global PMK Caching set-
ting is ignored and the client attempts to use CCKM.
Options are: Standard, OPMK

If either option is enabled, the credentials entered here take precedence over any credentials entered on the profile
tab.
To use either option, select Logon Options from the Property list which activates the Logon Options button.
Click the Logon Options button.
Single Signon
To use the Single Signon option, select the checkbox for Use the Windows username and password when
available. When the active profile is using LEAP, PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC or EAP-FAST, the SCU ignores the
username and password, if any, saved in the profile. Instead, the username and password used for Windows
logon is used. Any certificates needed for authentication must still be specified in the profile.
Click OK then click Commit.
Pre-Logon Connection
To use the Pre_logon connection, select the checkbox for Enable pre-logon connection. This option is designed to
be used when:
•

dentials, whether entered on the saved credentials screen or the sign on screen, are sent to the RADIUS server. The
RADIUS server must have auto provisioning enabled to send the PAC provisioning credentials to the Thor VM1.
For automatic PAC provisioning, once a username/password is authenticated, the PAC information is stored on the Thor
VM1. The same username/password must be used to authenticate each time. See the note below for more details.
For manual PAC provisioning, the PAC filename and Password must be entered.
The entries on the Credentials screen are determined by the type of credentials (stored or sign on) and the type of PAC pro-
visioning (automatic or manual).

Because the keyboard only has 64 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor VM1
keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. NumLock is always On.
Note: When automatic brightness control is enabled for a Thor VM1 with an Outdoor display, the manual display brightness
controls in the table below have no effect.
