Launching an Application Automatically

CN4 Mobile Computer User's Manual
The CN4 has a built-in FTP server that connects to a network through
Ethernet, 802.11 b/g, or WAN (Wireless Access Network). You can use
the server to transfer your application file to the computer. Because
you can create FTP scripts to automate the process of copying files to
the computer, this option is useful when you need to send files to a
large number of computers.
The easiest way to manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu
within iConnect.
To enable the FTP menu
• Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1:
The iFTP menu is available the next time you start iConnect.
To manage the state of the FTP server
Modify these existing registry keys:
•
where 1 = enable and 0 = disable.
There are two ways to automatically launch your application when
you perform a reset on the computer:
• Make sure your .cab file places a shortcut to your application in
the \Windows\StartUp folder.
• Configure the AutoRun program to launch your application.
The computer contains a program called AutoRun.exe which
automates operations such as launching other processes. You can
configure AutoRun.exe through the AutoRun data file, AutoRun.dat.
For compatibility with other Intermec computers, you can place a
copy of AutoRun.exe in the same folder as your AutoRun.dat file but
it is not required.
