The data cannot be edited by the MX9 user on these panels.
Version window information is retrieved from the registry.
Version Tab and the Registry
Modify the Registry using the Registry Editor. For best results use caution when editing the Registry and make a
backup copy of the registry before changes are made.
The registry settings for the Version tab are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ LXE \ Version in the registry.
To add a user application to the Version panel, create a new string value under the HKLM\Software\LXE\Version key.
The string name should be the Application name to appear in the Version window. The data for the value should be the
version number to appear in the Version window .
Version strings can be equal to or less than 254 characters. Because the strings are displayed in a text box, any num-
ber can be accommodated, up to the 64K byte text box limitation.
Languages
The Software tab displays any languages built into the OS image. The languages built into the OS image are noted in
the Language section of this tab:
• English only – No additional languages are built into the OS
• Japanese
• Simplified Chinese
• Traditional Chinese
• Korean
The above listed Asian languages are ordered separately and built-in to the OS image. Built-in languages are added to
registry entries and are available immediately upon startup. Thai, Hebrew, Arabic and Cyrillic Russian languages are
available in the (English only) default (extended) fonts.
Identifying Software Versions
The Versions tab displays the versions of many of the software programs installed. Not all installed software is included
in this list and the list varies depending on the applications loaded on the MX9. The Image line displays the revision of
the system software installed. Refer to the last three digits to determine the revision level.
MAC Address
The Network IP tab displays the MAC address of the network card.
