Version Differences for H25 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

==How to:==

+

===Configure Ethernet Cradle Options===

+

To use the optional Ethernet Cradle interface and enable Windows File Sharing we should first configure user accounts and the device name using the web interface. To do this, first connect your Ethernet cradle both to power using the supplied power adapter, and to an active Ethernet port on your local network using an Ethernet patch cable.

+

====Remote Device Administration====

+

To remotely manage the device, open up a web browser on a local computer, and navigate to the device using its [[#Find the IP address | IP address]]. For example, to navigate to the H25 with Ethernet IP address 172.30.101.90, open up Internet Explorer or your web browser of choice, and enter "http://172.30.101.90/" then press Enter.

+

If you have not previously set an Admin password for the device, the first page that you will see will prompt you to set one. Please choose a secure password, and enter it twice. The interface will restart, and after 30 seconds will present you with the Windows CE Remote Management Tool.

+

'''Device Management'''

+

Device Management presents two options:

+

*Configure Network: Here you are able to configure the IP address and other network information for each of the available network interfaces on the H25. Be careful when editing this information as you can render the device inaccessible by changing these settings.

+

*HostName Config: Use this page to set the local network Hostname of your device. If your network supports hostname discovery, then setting this will allow you to access devices using their hostname rather than their IP address, which is useful when the device uses DHCP to get its IP address rather than using a statically configured IP.

+

'''Security'''

+

Security presents one option, which allows you to reset the Admin password to something new.

+

'''Add/Del Users'''

+

This page allows you to add additional users to your CE device. Each user can be given access to their own shares on the device, allowing you to for example give different services or users remote access to different files without having to use the device administrative password.

+

'''File Server and Printer'''

+

This page contains some very useful capabilities, and gives you the ability to configure remote Windows Shares from which you can download data off the device.

+

* Add/Del Share: This page allows you to share any available folders on the device filesystem. To add a share, enter a network name for the share in the box next to a given local folder, then click Add. To configure the share, select Permissions to configure individual user permissions on the device.

+

*Add/Del Network Adapter: This page allows you to enable sharing via individual network adapters on the CE terminal. By default, sharing is only available via the cradle's ethernet port.

+

*SMB Server Statistics: This section just indicates how many packets have been sent and received by the device while file sharing is enabled.

+

===Find the IP address===

+

To find the IP address of the device, navigate to Start->Settings->Network & Dial-up. The IP address for the Ethernet interface will be available on the AX88772B network connection, while the IP address for the wireless interface will be available on the SDCS30AG interface.

===Performing a Warm Boot ( Soft Reset ) on the H25===

To perform a Warm Boot on the H25, press and hold the following keys at the same time: "Fn"+"ALPHA"+"Enter". Then release the buttons. A Warm Boot will not delete any data or erase settings.
