Because of its VGA output capability, the IA260 can be used for protocol conversion or data acquisition for field site devices, and is also suitable for SCADA systems in industrial applications, such as manufacturing automation, production line process monitoring, and mining automation.
C Libraries and Run-times—Compared to the C libraries and run-times used on a desktop PC running Windows®, the C libraries and run-times on an IA260-CE are a subset of the WIN32 APIs. They support full ANSI C run time, standard input/output library, standard input/output ASCII library, and standard ASCII string functions.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP), name resolution and registration, and DHCP. Supported Servers and Daemons In addition to development and communication capabilities, the IA260-CE is also embedded with the following services and daemons. These common and easy-to-use application servers help users migrate the IA26X-CE embedded computer to industrial communication applications easily and conveniently.
Inserting a CompactFlash Card The IA260-CE is equipped with a CompactFlash slot of type II that supports cards of both types I and II. A mass storage card is considered to be a standard attachment to the computer. Thus, when an empty mass storage card is inserted into the slot, the computer automatically formats it to the FAT system.
128 MB Inserting a USB Mass Storage Device When an empty USB storage device is plugged into the USB slot on the IA260-CE’s rear panel, the computer automatically formats device to the FAT system. When the first USB mass storage device is plugged in, a directory named “USBDisk” is created in the internal file system under the root directory as a link to the storage device.

IA260 WinCE User’s Manual Getting Started Powering on the IA260 To boot up the system, connect the power source to the power input located on the computer’s top panel. It takes about 5 seconds for the system to boot up. You will hear a clear “BEEP” sound when the boot up procedure is finished.
Three functions are provided to enhance the stability of the operating system. Reset to default—This function allows users to load the factory default into the IA260. Format storage flash—CE 6.0 is a FAT-based system. The system cannot work well when the FAT table is crashed.
LAN 2 192.168.4.127 255.255.255.0 There are two methods to change the network settings of the IA260: Use the network settings function of the OS, or use the Serial Console connection. Use the following procedure to change your network settings. 1. Go to [Start] [Settings] [Network and Dial-Up Connections].

2. Right click the LAN icon and the click Property. 3. Click OK. Another method to change the network setting is via Serial Console. Refer to “Operating the IA260-CE Computer via Serial Console”, and connect the IA260. Type netconfig -h to get help on this utility.
VPN by using TCP/IP-based data networks. Currently, this function is supported only by the IA260-CE. For VPN questions concerning the IA261-CE and IA262-CE, please contact Moxa’s Technical Support team.
Getting Started Operating the IA260-CE Computer via Telnet Before operating your IA260-CE computer using a Telnet client, we suggest that you change the network settings of the computer (see an earlier section) so that at least one of the two network ports is on the same LAN as your development workstation.
Starting and Stopping Services After booting up, the IA260-CE computer runs several services continuously to serve requests from users or other programs. Notable services include telnet (“TEL0:”), console (“CON0:”), world wide web HTTP (“HTP0:”), file transfer FTP (“FTP0:”), and others. You will seldom need to use these services.
