Initial Startup

Reset the Terminal

The first time you start the system, the terminal goes through its power-up
sequence and launches FactoryTalk View ME Station Configuration mode.
You can change the action the terminal takes on startup by pressing Terminal
Settings then choosing Startup Options. You can configure one of these options:
• Launch a FactoryTalk Machine Edition HMI application that is
configured to run at startup.
• Launch FactoryTalk View Machine Station Configuration mode and run
the configuration options for the terminal (default).
• Launch the Windows Explorer desktop.
You can also configure a terminal to allow desktop access. Terminals are initially
shipped with desktop access disabled. To allow or restrict desktop access, press
Terminal Settings then choose Desktop Access.
For more information on changing the start-up option and restricting or allowing
desktop access, refer to
You have several options for restarting the terminal without having to disconnect
and reapply power:
• Use the Reset switch on the back of the terminal.
• From the terminal desktop Start menu, choose Restart System.
• On the FactoryTalk View ME Station configuration dialog box,
press Reset.
