General
The
General
page displays basic system information. There are two main
parts:
System
and
Disk & Memory
.
System
shows the OS image version
and CPU type.
Disk & Memory
includes total capacity, usage, and
currently available capacity of the disk and memory.
Network
The
Network
page displays information about the active network adapter.
Click

Ping
to
ping a specified IP address to test the connection.
Click
Advanced
for more detailed IP information, including the default
gateway, DHCP server, primary WINS server, and DNS server addresses.
Watchdog
Using the watchdog function, the device automatically resets if a program
does not respond in time. This prevents system crashes and hangs from
stopping your critical applications, as the watchdog automatically restarts
the machine when required.
Use the
Watchdog
tab to set the response time, which is the period that the
watchdog waits for a response.
The response time is in effect only when you select a time span and enable
the watchdog. When you enable the watchdog and click the
Test
button,
the no resetting signal is sent to the watchdog hardware periodically. The
watchdog assumes the machine is deadlocked and reboots it after
the watchdog response time. If the machine reboots as expected after the
watchdog response time, the watchdog is working properly.
Misc
The
Misc
tab includes the following functions:
Caution
Do not
enter the CompactFlash folder name in the
CF Disk Name
text box
directly. Renaming the CompactFlash folder to a name not on the list causes irreversible
problems with application program settings.
•
Use
Startup Programs
to set the startup programs without editing.
The programs listed under
Startup Programs
are automatically
executed after the system has successfully booted. Click
Add
to add
a file to the startup. Click
Delete
to remove a file from the startup.
