MX5 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX5PCRG-F-ARC
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.
Software Load
The software loaded on the MX5 computer consists of Windows for Pocket PC 2000, hardware-
specific OEM Adaptation Layer, device drivers, MS Pocket Internet Explorer browser and
utilities.
The radio drivers are stored on the compact flash card that is located behind the main battery.
During the cold boot process, the JmpStart program accesses the compact flash card and loads the
radio drivers and any saved parameters.
The software supported by the MX5 is summarized below:
Operating System
• Windows Pocket PC 2002. Only one Pocket PC version can be loaded on the MX5 at a
time.
Radio Drivers
• Only one radio is installed in the MX5 at any one time. The 2.4GHz type of PC radio
card resident on the MX5 determines the type of radio driver running on the MX5.

CAB Files
When updating CAB files, first delete the RegTemp.reg registry backup file, then perform a
cold boot. JmpStart.cld will install the drivers listed in it’s script. Configure the driver
settings and then create RegSave to save the registry contents. Then warm boot to load the
drivers.
When adding new (additional) CAB files, perform the same step shown above, except edit
JmpStart.cld to add the name of the new CAB(s).
Note: Please contact your LXE representative to get access to CAB files as they are
released by LXE.
