Network Time Update: SNTP Client

The MK1200 Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client can automatically set and update the MK1200 time and
date through the network. Use this feature to set the system time and date after reboots or power outages. This
feature also ensures consistent time and date stamping across a fleet of MK1200s. The SNTP Client program
queries the specified SNTP server over the network to set the time and date.
The SNTP client shipped with MK1200 WinCE 4.20 is the Microsoft default SNTP Client program. (This is a
change from the WinCE 4.1 operating system, which had a custom SNTP client).
MK1200 allows changing four parameters of the SNTP Client. See

Memory Management

Flash: Nonvolatile (Persistent) Memory

The MK1200 has 32 MB of available nonvolatile flash memory. 3.25 MB is committed for platform partition use to
install external driver packs such as RF drivers. 7.75 MB is available for developer's applications within the
application partition (folder). The data stored in flash memory persists through cold boot cycles.
To increase usable persistent (flash) memory, use TCM to adjust the allocation of memory between the application
and platform partitions.
Add a PC card to the MK1200 to increase the non-volatile memory available for file storage.

RAM: Volatile (Non-Persistent) Memory

The MK1200 has 32 MB of DRAM volatile memory. Developers can automate control of the device's RAM (volatile)
memory allocation (storage vs. memory used to run programs) to persist memory allocation settings through cold
boot cycles.
Use the Symbol RDM or the System Menu to permanently configure RAM memory allocations (memory used to
run programs). (

NOTE The RDM/System Menu can only configure unused RAM.
