Chapter 9 Software Configuration

Introduction

This chapter provides special instructions required for third-party software that can be used with the VC70 vehicle
computer.

Wavelink TelnetCE

When using a serial scanner in a Wavelink TelnetCE session, the Wavelink Client communications parameters
must be updated to reflect the connection of a scanner to one of the vehicle computer COM ports. Serial options;
such as baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity, of the host session and the scanner must match.
The Wavelink Client defaults are:
Baud: 9600
•
Data bits: 8
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Parity: None.
•
Ensure that scanner default parameters match the Wavelink parameters. If they do not, configure the scanner
accordingly. Refer to the scanner Product Reference Guide for information on the default scanner settings.

Disabling the VC70 Heater

The VC70 vehicle computer and the optional keyboard contain internal heaters. By default the heaters are
enabled. When the vehicle computer or optional keyboard temperature falls below the threshold level, the heater
turns on. The heater can be disabled. Use the following registry settings to disable the heater:
For the optional keyboard:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SystemManagement\KeyboardHeater]
KbdHeaterEnabled"=dword:1 - Making it 0 will never turn on the Keyboard heater.
UsbKbdCheckReqd"=dword:1
