Rapid Deployment Client; Creating A Splash Screen - Motorola MK3100 Product Reference Manual

Rapid Deployment Client

The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client facilitates software downloads to an MK3100 from a Mobility Services
Platform (MSP) Console's FTP server. The MSP Console is a web-based interface to the wireless
infrastructure monitoring and management tools provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.
When software packages transfer to the FTP server, an MK3100 on the wireless network can download them
by scanning RD bar codes encoding the location of the software packages. Multiple MK3100s can scan a
single RD bar code.
NOTE For detailed information about the Rapid Deployment Client and creating RD bar codes, refer to the MSP
3.X User's Guide.

Creating a Splash Screen

The DCP for MK3100 includes the source bitmap files that create the default splash screens. You can
customize the screen by modifying these files using any standard windows image editor.
To create a custom splash screen:
Use an image editor to open the Splashcolor.bmp file included with the DCP for MK3100.
1.
Modify the bitmap file and save.
2.
Create a splash partition.
3.
If you don't use the default files to create the new splash screens, be sure to preserve the image format of
800 x 480, 8 bits per pixel. Note that 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE
is running, the color density is 16 bits per pixel. See
splash screen.
