Software Configuration
Introduction
There are several different aspects to the setup and configuration of the MX7 Tecton. Many of the setup and configuration set-
tings are dependent upon the optional features such as hardware and software installed on the mobile device. The examples
found in this section are to be used as examples only, because the configuration of your specific MX7 Tecton may vary. The fol-
lowing sections provide a general reference for the configuration of the MX7 Tecton and some of its optional features. Contact
Technical Assistance (page 16-1) for information on the latest upgrades.
Windows Mobile
Note: For general use instruction, refer to commercially available Windows Mobile user’s guides or the Windows Mobile on-line
Help application in the MX7 Tecton
This section’s contents assumes the system administrator is familiar with Microsoft Windows options and capabilities loaded on
most standard Windows desktop computers.
Therefore, the sections that follow describe only those Windows capabilities that are unique to the MX7 Tecton and its Windows
Mobile environment.
Installed Software
Note: Some options require an external modem connection. Modems are not available from Honeywell.
When you order an MX7 Tecton you receive the software files required by the separate programs needed for operation and wire-
less client communication. The files are loaded and stored in folders in the mobile device.
This section lists the contents of the folders and the general function of the files. Files installed in each MX7 Tecton are specific
to the intended function of the MX7 Tecton.
Files installed in mobile devices that are configured for a wireless environment usually contain a radio specific driver – the driver
for the radio is specific to the manufacturer of the radio installed in the wireless host environment and is not interchangeable.
Software Load
The software loaded on the MX7 Tecton computer consists of Windows Mobile Operating System, hardware-specific OEM
Adaptation Layer, device drivers, Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile browser and MX7 Tecton-specific utilities. The soft-
ware supported by the MX7 Tecton is summarized below:
• Operating System - Full Operating System License: Includes all operating system components, including Windows
Mobile kernel, file system, communications, connectivity (for remote APIs), device drivers, events and messaging,
graphics, keyboard and touch screen input, window management, and common controls.
• Network and Device Drivers
• Bluetooth (Option)
• AppLock (Option)
• RFTerm (VT220, TN5250, TN3270) Terminal Emulation (Option).
• CE API Routines
Software Backup
Application programs and data that are normally RAM resident are backed up via ActiveSync.
Version Control
Version numbers are applied to the boot loader and the OS image independently. The version information stored consists of
the build number, plus the date and time of compile (in lieu of a build number). These version numbers are stored in non-
volatile storage, where the user cannot inadvertently modify them. A Settings panel and API are provided so the user can
reference the version numbers for support purposes.
The MX7 Tecton has a unique 128-bit ID code as required by the Windows Mobile specification. This ID number is gener-
ated by the boot loader. This ID code is available in the About Info settings panel, and via a Win32 standard API.
