Boot Loader
For addressing OS stability issues, we provide an easy and useful function with Boot Loader for
the following tasks:
1.
Reset to default: you can set the flag to reset WinCE 6.0 to factory default settings.
2.
Format storage flash: The CE 6.0 file system is an FAT that can be damaged by unstable
power or improper application execution. If the FAT table crashes, do not start up the OS. You
can, however, format the file system and reboot your W406.
At startup, the W406 will check the file system and re-partition it if the file system is empty.
3.
Firmware upgrade: If you find a new firmware from Moxa’s website, you can upgrade the
firmware with this function (details in appendix A).

Operating Your W406 Computer through the Serial Console
The serial console port (located on the bottom panel) gives users a convenient way of connecting
the development workstation to the console utility of the target computer. This method is
particularly useful when using the computer for the first time.
After you have wired a serial cable, go back to the development workstation and start a terminal
program (e.g., HyperTerminal) by using the settings shown below for the serial console port.
