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 Renew to release the current IP and retrieve a new IP. 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.
