APOLLO Windows XP Embedded Quickstart

Using the supplied Windows XP Embedded image

When switched on, the APOLLO loads the installed copy of Windows XP Embedded.
This may take up to two minutes. When loading is complete, the Windows XP
Embedded desktop appears. You do not need to enter a user name and password,
because Windows XP Embedded is set up to login automatically.
The default username and password used in the automatic login are as
follows:
Username: Administrator
Password:
At this point the APOLLO behaves in much the same way as the normal desktop
versions of Windows XP (Home and Professional), but with fewer applications
available. Commands and utilities can be run from the Start menu in the normal way.

Networking

The version of Windows XP Embedded installed on the flash disk contains a driver for
the on-board Ethernet controller and Microsoft TCP/IP networking. It also contains a
DHCP client that automatically configures TCP/IP to run on your network. If you don't
use a DHCP server for network configuration you must configure TCP/IP manually
from the control panel.
If the APOLLO is connected to a workgroup-based network it appears in the network
neighbourhood under the name 'WORKGROUP'. The name assigned to the machine
begins with APOLLO followed by a random series of characters unique to your system
(generated by Windows XP Embedded). This means the name format is APOLLO-
xxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the random part of the name, for example APOLLO-
QF7V7CIN0.
To find out the name assigned to your APOLLO, follow these steps:
Open a Command Prompt on Windows XP Embedded by selecting Start → All
1
Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt.
2 Type ipconfig /all at the Command Prompt.
The Host Name assigned to your APOLLO is the first item reported.
Other useful information is also displayed in the output of the ipconfig /all
command, such as the IP address assigned to the Ethernet adapters.
