6.1.0 BEFORE yOU BEGIN
The ProScribe is intended for use as Windows XP embedded powered wireless thin client touch-screen device.
To use your ProScribe you must have the following;
• 0V mains plugs to charge the battery for using it as portable device
• a wireless access point to access the corporate network or
• an Ethernet connection in case you plan to use the ProScribe on a fixed location
6.2.0 GETTING STARTED
The Windows XP embedded operating system provides you all the convenience to set-up any type of thin-client session
with centrally located applications or web-based services. Before doing so, please make sure to apply the following
instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE :
Write protect
The ProScribe is pre-configured with a Windows XPe feature called Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) to prevent
writing on the CF card. When write protection is activated, all recently installed software products and changed
user settings are not stored into the CF and hence are removed after a reboot. The procedure to save such data in
the CF card is described hereunder. It is strongly advised to re-enable EWF after disabling it for storing user data.
EWF protects the OS but also the CF card itself.
Procedure to disable EWF
(valid only for software release ≤ 0LBMXNF5107, 0LBMXN1F206)
• press "start" button then "Run..." and type "cmd"
• on the console window type : "ewfmgr c: - commitanddisable -live"
• wait for the command execution
• now the CF is write enable, so the modification are really stored into the CF card, meaning that modifications
will be retained on reboot also if the CF is sets again to read only mode.
• after applying the desired modifications, enable the EWF (reboot is required for re-enable EWF).
(valid only for software release ≥ 0LBMXNF5108, 0LBMXN1F207)
• press "start" button then "Run..." and type "ewfd"
• the ProScribe will logout and reboot automatically
• now the CF is write enable, so the modification are really stored into the CF card, meaning that modifications
will be retained on reboot.
• after applying the desired modifications, enable the EWF.
Procedure to enable EWF
(valid only for software release ≤ 0LBMXNF5107, 0LBMXN1F206)
• press "start" button then "Run..." and type "cmd"
• on the console window type: ewfmgr c: -enable"
• wait for the command execution
• reboot (it is required for EWF to be really enabled)
(valid only for software release ≥ 0LBMXNF5108, 0LBMXN1F207)
• press "start" button then "Run..." and type "ewfe"
• the ProScribe will logout and reboot automatically
• now the CF is write disable, so modification are not stored into the CF card, meaning that modifications will
be lost on reboot.
CAUTION: (valid only for software release ≤ 0LBMXNF5107, 0LBMXN1F206)
Reboot the ProScribe first and disable EWF before installing any new software. Installing software and
disabling EWF afterwards is not supported by Windows XPe and results in some cases in a software crash.
