E-EQ-MX1ISRG-F MX1 I-Safe Reference Guide
Chapter 4 System Configuration
Introduction
There are many different aspects to the setup and configuration of the MX1-IS. Many of the setup
and configuration settings are dependent upon the optional features, such as hardware and
software, installed on the unit. The examples found in this chapter are to be used as samples only,
the configuration of your specific MX1-IS computer may vary. The following sections provide a
general reference for the configuration of the MX1-IS and some of it’s optional features.
Installed Software
When you order an MX1-IS you receive the software files required by the separate programs
needed for operation and communication. The files are loaded by LXE and stored in
subdirectories in the MX1-IS.
This section lists the contents of the subdirectories and the general function of the files. Files
installed in each MX1-IS are specific to the intended function of the MX1-IS -- an MX1-IS using
ANSI Plus and a 2.4GHz radio driver software will have a different file structure than that of an
MX1-IS being used for DOS batch functions.
Files installed in each MX1-IS configured for an RF environment contain PCMCIA card radio
specific drivers – the drivers for each brand of radio are specific to the radios installed in the RF
environment and are not interchangeable.
Drive C Internal Flash Array
The on-board Internal Flash Array (IFA) is 8MB, and it is configured as the C: drive - i.e., the
equivalent of a disk drive in a PC. One inherent difference between Flash technology and a
rotating media disk drive is the fact that it is solid-state, therefore it is much more rugged than a
rotating media would be. Another difference is that its write (but not read) time can be slower than
a rotating media.
Depending on which software configuration is ordered, the following sections list the files that
may be stored on the Flash or C drive.
ATTENTION Powering off the MX1-IS before a write (to disk) function has completed, may result in
the corruption of the flash drive. If the flash drive becomes corrupted, the unit must be
returned to LXE for repair.
