TARTUP BEHAVIOR

1.1.1 XV400

With all MICRO PANEL devices from image version 2.00 (see also

System properties

), the operating

system is started from a PCMCIA or CompactFlash card. The operating system is stored in the OS
directory on the Flash card. The device only contains the bootloader which searches for the operating
system on the Flash card when the device is started, and then launches it. The following screen at
least is shown during startup:

The display shows different information such as the network settings, the serial number and the
number of license points. If the Flash card does not contain an operating system, the screen shows
the following:

If this display appears on the screen, this means that either there is no Flash card in the device, the
card is not correctly formatted or does not contain a valid operating system. The valid operating
system depends on the device concerned!

Note:
The display may vary according to the device type!

Important:
The PC must contain a suitable drive for writing the PCMCIA or Compact Flash card for the first time!

After Windows CE is launched, the following functions are run if the

CTRL/DOWNLOAD button

is not

pressed:

1. The registry entries are transferred once the AUTOEXEC.REG file is found in the root directory of

the Flash card. See also chapter

Autoexec.reg

.

2. The bootloader also looks for the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the root directory. This file is run if it is

present. See also chapter

Autoexec.bat

.
