Chapter 2
Getting Started
In this chapter, we explain how to use a PC to operate a W406 embedded computer. We will refer
to the PC that connects to the W406 as the
development workstation
, and the W406 embedded as
the
target computer
.
development workstation =
PC used to operate the embedded computer
target computer
=
W406 embedded computer
In addition, we describe the steps you should follow to carry out certain operations, such as setting
the system time and troubleshooting network connectivity. Some of these operations can be carried
out using system commands after gaining access to the target computer, and others can be carried
out using a web-based management system. The web-based management system is described in a
later chapter.

Operating Your W406 Computer through the Serial Console
