Advanced Device Configuration

StartUp/ShutDown Mode

The mode described below applies only to the TaskBook
inserted in the Docking Station with VDC power supply,
the use designed for VMC solutions.
NOTE
The TaskBook has 3 modes of controlling Startup and Shutdown.
The mode is set by commands in the "\Utilities\UtilConfig.cfg" file.
Each mode controls how the Ignition Sense power connector wire
(IGN) and the TaskBook's front panel Power button (PWR) work
together. In the default mode (mode 1), IGN must be at a voltage
greater than 10 VDC and PWR must be pressed and held for a
specified period to power up the VMC. Shutting down in this mode
may be accomplished by removing the positive voltage from IGN or
pressing the PWR button, either must be for a specified time to
shutdown.
The other common mode (mode 0) allows IGN or PWR to control the
Startup/Shutdown. In this mode connecting IGN to positive voltage
will power up the VMC, and disconnecting it will power down.
Similarly powering up via PWR then pressing PWR again will power
back down. If using PWR to control the VMC in this mode, IGN
should NOT be switched or tied to + power. When using this mode
you should either be exclusively using IGN to control the VMC, or
PWR but not mixing the two.
