Parameter Description
Use password protection for
Psion Config
A password can be activated to allow access to programs.
Enter a password and repeat the entry in the
Repeat password field. This is case-sen-
sitive.
Allow read access without password:
Reading all data
Psion Config can be started without a password. It is possible to read all data, but no
changes may be made to the settings.
Limited to data without COM
port access A password is not required to start Psion Config. Reading of data is limited: The Envi-
ronment , Automatic Switch-off and Front Panel menus are not available.
Parameter Description
Language setting
The language of the Psion Config menus is defined. The default is always the system lan-
guage of the computer. If no language file is available for this language, texts will be dis-
played in English. Only those languages may be selected for which language files
(PsionCfg*_*.txt) are available in the Config EXE directory.
Parameter Description
Export customer settings
With this function, all Psion Config settings can be exported to a Config text file.
Each export file is displayed with an info header (see 17.2 Info header).
The export file can be imported to other 8585 to maintain identical settings on all
computers.
Import customer settings
Those files generated with the export function can be selected for import. It is not
possible to import the local Config_Local.cfg. Before the import, a message tells you
not to mix AC-DC configurations, as this can block the device.
In the event that a mandatory software key for activating diverse options on a PC is
missing, this is reported in a corresponding error message.
Please note: If options are released in the imported Config setting, which are
missing on this computer, a corresponding error message is displayed.
Caution: Property Damage
During import not all data is checked for validity; rather the data is saved in the
way that it is defined in the import file. False information could lead to failure of
8585 (such as malfunctions, data loss, equipment damage etc.).
Load factory defaults
Here default settings can be loaded that are saved in a file named:
FactoryDefault_<Serial number>.cfg .
This file can only be generated by Psion service with an internal program.
The AC-DC configuration warning does not appear, as it is assumed that this is taken
into account at installation.
If the file is not available, an error message about a 'defect' file appears.
Parameter Description
Show/hide the software keyboard
automatically on input fields in
Psion Config
The software keyboard starts automatically when Psion Config is started. When
the cursor is placed in an input field, it is always displayed.
A file named Keyboard.cfg must exist in the software keyboard installation
directory; otherwise an error message appears.
If the keyboard is started by Psion Config, it is also terminated when Psion
Config is closed. The software keyboard version 1.5 or higher is mandatory for
this. An error message is displayed when errors occur.
The message is only visible after logging on.
Warning with query on import of
static network data
(computer name, IP addresses)
If static IP addresses (when DHCP is disabled) and/or a computer name are
imported, a warning with corresponding security query may appear.
