IPC/NETIPCFW-1A: User Documentation
DOC/NETIPCFW-E; V3.0
Menu Console Redirection
Allows setting of the COM port number to be used for console redirection. No redirection (i.e.
console = standard video output) is specified by 0 (default). See also 4.1.3 for more
information.
Note:
Any VGA-BIOS-Extension must be removed to enable the BIOS console redirection
(e.g. using boot loader command ‘vgadel’).
Menu ROM Scan/ROM BASIC
Allows setting of the segment addresses for the video and Embedded DOS-ROM segments and
the scan range and scan interval for standard BIOS extensions. Note that these values are all
segment addresses and must be multiplied by 16 to get the absolute address. The scan of the
Embedded DOS-ROM segment must be disabled if any other operating system should be
loaded.
Note:
If the Embedded DOS-ROM BIOS extension (DOS.BIN) was installed before, it must be
deleted manually (using boot loader command ‘edosdel’).
Menu Misc BIOS Controls
Allows setting of the BIOS equipment byte, and memory test base size for POST. The
maximum low memory setting specifies the scan size of the main memory in kbyte (default
640).
Additional options allows the protection from manual CMOS changes by forcing the update of
the CMOS parameters from the BIOS-ROM and enable/disable the BIOS configuration box
display on BIOS startup.
Menu Disk I/O & Booting
Allows setting of the boot drive.
If WindowsCE binary image loading/booting is enabled, the BIOS searches for a file named
NK.BIN (must be upper case !) on any of the boot drives and tries to load and boot it according
to the WindowsCE binary image definition. The searched drives must have a FAT file system if
this option is enabled. Some WindowsCE startup arguments may be configured in the separate
WinCE configuration menu.
Menu Video Configuration:
Allows setting of the video segment addresses. Note that these values are all segment addresses
and must be multiplied by 16 to get the absolute address.
If no Video output or an add-on graphics card is used, the on-board graphics controller may be
disabled here. This also sets the frame buffer size to 0 freeing some memory for the application
and saves power.
On some NETIPC boards (e.g. IPC/NETIPC-2A) a TV/Video output may be enabled and
configured for special video formats.
