Object store
The persistent storage that Windows CE makes available to applications. For example, Windows CE reserves part of
its available RAM for the operating system and uses the rest for the object store. This data can be stored in files,
registry entries or Windows CE databases.
PING
Protocol that sends a message to another computer and waits for acknowledgement, often used to check if another
computer on a network is reachable.
Program memory
Memory that is used for stack and heap storage for both system and non-system applications. Non-system
applications are taken from storage memory, uncompressed and loaded into program memory for execution.
WiFi
A device installed into the iDLMax that allows wireless connection and communication with a network.
RAM (random access
You can add applications and data files to RAM or into Flash memory via the DiskOnChip. While flash memory
memory) is persistent (as long as the backup is charged), RAM is not and will be cleared when you remove or replace the
battery. As you can only suspend the device, the only way to turn it fully off is to remove the battery or to perform a
hard reset.
ROM (read only memory)
The operating system (Windows CE.NET) and applications are pre-installed on ROM and cannot be removed or
modified. These applications are persistent.
RAS (remote access server) A feature that connects a device to a host computer. Windows CE can connect to a remote access server using USB
and dial-up connections. Windows CE supports the standard Microsoft Win32 RAS functions; however, it allows only
one connection at a time. RAS functions can be implemented for direct USB connections or dial-up modem
connections.
RTC
Real Time Clock on the iDLMax.
Secure Digital (SD)

computer’s keypad to enter alpha numeric and symbols in the currant application.
SSID
The SSID (Service set identifier) is a network name; it is a name that identifies a wireless network. The SSID
differentiates one WLAN from another; so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN
must use the same SSID. Devices must provide a unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a
packet it does not supply any security to the network.
Start button
The start button opens the Start menu. The Start menu contains a list of the resident applications, applets and utilities
viable to the user.
Status bar
An area that displays state information for the content in the window, typically placed at the bottom of a window.
Status icons
A graphic representation of the status of a feature or function.
Stylus
The stylus is the equivalent of a mouse on the iDLMax. Use the stylus on a touch-sensitive display. Only a plastic
tipped stylus should be used on a touch-sensitive display. Use the stylus to navigate by selecting characters in the
soft input panel (SIP). Select applications from the desktop or system tray, select tabs, fields and text within
applications and dialog boxes.
Suspend mode
The iDLMax will go into a ‘suspend’ or ‘sleep’ mode when it is idle for a configurable period of time. Suspend mode
works and looks like you have turned the unit off. Press the <Power> key to suspend (put to sleep) the iDLMax. Press
the <Power> key again for the iDLMax to resume its previous state.
