There are at least three methods for installing a software application on
the RAC6182 Industrial Computer. Each software application has its
own defined installation process, so you should follow the installation
instructions shipped with the software application.
• ActiveSync can be used to transfer a software application file from the
desktop PC to the RAC6182 Industrial Computer. Once loaded, the
application file can then be run on the RAC6182 Industrial Computer
to install and register it with the RAC6182 Windows CE operating
system.
• A flash memory card can be used to transfer a software application
file into the RAC6182 Industrial Computer DOC flash memory (the
\Storage Card folder on the RAC6182). Install the flash memory
card in the RAC6182 PC card slot, and then open the flash card
window (\Storage Card2 or \Storage Card3). Copy the file into the
DOC flash memory using Windows Explorer. Once transferred, the
application file can be run to install and register the application with
the Windows CE operating system.
Note: To install an application permanently into memory, you
must ensure that the application is installed to the
\Storage Card folder. Applications installed into the
\Program Files folder are lost when power is cycled.
• The software application may provide a desktop PC program that
automatically uses the ActiveSync connection to download and
register the application to the RAC6182 Industrial Computer.
