Appendix C System Configuration – Pocket PC 2000
Introduction
There are several different aspects to the setup and configuration of the MX5. Many of the setup
and configuration settings are dependent upon the optional features such as hardware and software
installed on the unit. The examples found in this chapter are to be used as examples only, the
configuration of your specific MX5 computer may vary. The following sections provide a general
reference for the configuration of the MX5 and some of it’s optional features.
Note: When a new battery is installed in the MX5 for the first time (or when the Backup battery
is completely depleted), the Time and Date must be re-set.
Windows for Pocket PC
For general use instruction, please refer to commercially availableWindows for Pocket
PC 2000 user's guides or the Windows for Pocket PC 2000 on-line Help application
installed with the MX5.
This chapter's contents assumes the system administrator is familiar with Microsoft Windows
options and capabilities loaded on most standard Pocket PC devices and/or desktop computers.
Therefore, the sections that follow describe only those Windows capabilities that are unique to
the MX5 and it's Pocket PC environment.
Installed Software
Note: Some standard Pocket PC options require an internal or external modem connection.
Modems are not available from LXE nor supported by LXE.
When you order an MX5 you receive the software files required by the separate programs needed
for operation and radio communication. The files are loaded by LXE and stored in subdirectories
on the ATA CF card installed under the Main Battery pack.
This section lists the contents of the subdirectories and the general function of the files. Files
installed in each MX5 are specific to the intended function of the MX5.
Files installed in each MX5 configured for an RF environment contain PCMCIA card radio
specific drivers – the drivers for each type of radio are specific to the manufacturer (e.g. Cisco)
for the radios installed in the RF environment and are not interchangeable.
If you need to set up barcode reading parameters, please refer to the “Integrated Scanner
Programming Guide” on the LXE Manuals CD or the LXE website www.lxe.com.
