• System administration
• Network configuration
• Operating system installation
Product Overview
Installation
The DeviceMaster ATS-LNX is a standalone, user-programmable microcomputer
designed to run Linux applications in a solid-state environment. The ATS-LNX
model provides built-in Ethernet connectivity and is designed for remote
deployment and management of local programs and the attached serial devices.
The ATS-LNX is designed as a deployment platfo rm, not a development platform.
The solid-state compa ct fl ash t ec hnolo gy does not supp ort an unl imi ted numb er of
writes. Whi le deve lopment co uld be done on the A TS -LNX, i t is recommend ed tha t
application development is conducted on a different machine and the resulting
application moved to and tested on the ATS-LNX.
The ATS-LNX is running Comtrol Corporation’s customized version of t he Debian
3.0 operating s ys te m. S ee A ppendix B.
31 for detailed default system information.
If you are unfamiliar with using an embedded operating system, you should
review information about the operating system before installation. Please refer to
the existing documentation provided by Debian at
Installation of the hardwa re may vary depending on t he configuration yo u ordered
from Comtrol. Although the ATS-LNX can be placed in a remote location, you will
need to configure the ATS-LNX before it is placed into service.
Use the following procedures to setup the DeviceMaster ATS-LNX.
Note: If you need pin out information about any of the connectors on the ATS-
LNX, see Appendix A.Connectors

Installation to
Configure the ATSLNX
1. Place the DeviceMaster ATS-LNX on a stable
surface or attach it to a suitable surface
using the mounting brackets shipped with
the device.
2. Verify that the compact flash is fully
inserted. When installed correctly, the
compact flash is recessed into the ATS-LNX
and the eject button protrudes about 1/4
inch. If necessary, without using excessive
force or sharp objects, seat the compact flash
in its socket. Too much force can damage the
device.
3. Use one of the following methods to set up communications:
ASCII Terminal
You can use a VT100 compati bl e te rmin al to perform the system configuration.
a. Configure the terminal for these port attributes:
• Bits per second = 57600
• Data bits = 8
•Parity = None
•Stop bits = 1
• Flow control = None
b. Connect the ASCII te rminal to the CONSOLE port.
PC COM Port
You can connect the ATS-LNX to a PC COM port to perform the system
configuration.
a. Connect a null-modem cable from a COM port on a PC or laptop to the port
labeled CONSOLE on the ATS-LNX. See AUX A and CONSOLE Port
Connectors on Page 29 for connector information.
b. Start a terminal program, for example, Minicom and configure the
following port attributes:
• Bits per second = 57600
• Data bits = 8
•Parity = None
•Stop bits = 1
• Flow control = None
Monitor and Keyb oard
You can connect a standard monitor and keyboard to perform the system
configuration.
a. Connect the 15-pin monitor cable from a standard VGA monitor to the
VGA connector.
b. Connect a standard PS/2 compatible keyboard (6-pin mini DIN) into the
KEYBOARD co nnector or a USB keyboard to one of the USB ports.
c. Optionally, connect a PS/2 compatible mouse (6-pin mini DIN) into the
MOUSE connector or a USB mouse to one of the USB ports.
Network
You can configure the ATS-LNX thro ugh the network, if you can communicate
to one of the default IP addresses. Connect an Ethernet cable between the port
that corresponds to the IP address to which you want to communicate and a
NIC or Ethernet hub.

Connecting Optional
Devices to the ATSLNX
Powering on and Configuring the ATS-LNX
Connect the devices appropriate for how you plan to use the ATS-LNX:
1. T o dial-in and manage the ATS-LNX through a modem, connect an external
modem to the AUX A connector of the ATS-LNX.
If you want to connect a serial device (other than a modem) to this port, see
Using the AUX A Port as a Standard tty Port
on Page 22 to change the default
port set up.
2. If you want to connect a parallel printer to the system, connect the printer
cable to the PARALLEL connector.
Note: Go to www.debian.org to download a print spooler or printer driver.
3. Optionally, insert a PCMCIA device into one of the PCMCIA slots. See
PCMCIA/USB Package Supported
on Page 45 for detailed information.
4. Optionally, connect up two USB devices to the USB ports.
5. If the PC104 RocketPort
®
option is installed, connect the PC104 RocketPort
cable (quad- or octacable) to the SERIAL PORTS 1-8 connector.
Note: If you have the PC104 RocketPort card option installed, do not connect
any RS-422 or RS-485 devices to the serial ports until you have
configured the driver.
After connecting the cables and devices , yo u can power on the A TS-LN X and log in
to the operating system.
1. Connect the power cable in to the power supply and connect the power supply
(with the latch and key up) into the POWER connector.
2. Connect the power cable to a power source.
Note: The system beeps during the power on cycle. If you have the RocketPort
PC104 option installed, solid yellow Tx LEDs also indicate that you
have power to the unit.
3. If connected to the CONSOLE port, press any key when this message appears:
Press key to activate this console.
4. Select the kernel that you want to run:
• /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-comtrol-dm-ats (VGA) - Default
Boots a kernel that has been compiled specifically for the ATS-LNX
platform, which selects the VGA graphics adapter as the system console.
• /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-comtrol-dm-ats (serial)
Same kernel as the above selection, but the CONSOLE serial port is
selected as the system console.
• /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4
Boots the standard bf2.4 kernel distributed by the Debian project, which
selects the VGA adapter as the system console.
In all three cases, kernel messages are sent to both the serial and VGA
consoles. The system console selection controls which device is used by
daemons and the syslog facility . You can modify the console settings by editing
the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
5. Log in as root at the Debian prompt. The default system password is
devicemaster and it is case-sensitive.

Telnet and FTP
Hints and Tips
This section discusses the following topics:
• Telnet and ftp (servers and clients)
• Parallel port information
• Installing and adding packages
•Default device names
The ATS-LNX is shipped with telnet and ftp client and server packages installed.
However, the telnet and ftp servers and the ft p c lie nt hav e b een dis abl ed since the
ssh package provides the same functionality in a much more secure manner.
Note: The ftp client is enabled by default.
Enabling Telnet and FTP Servers
Removing Telnet and FTP Packages
To enable the telnet and ftp servers, use the following commands:
# update-inetd --enable telnet
# update-inetd --enable ftp
By default, you can not ftp to root, a user must be created with the proper
permissions.
To remove the telnet or ftp server packages entirely use the following commands:
# dpkg --purge wu-ftp
# dpkg --purge telnetd
To remove the telnet and ftp client package:
# dpkg --purge telnet
# dpkg --purge ftp
PARALLEL Port Information
The parallel port works as-is, and you can send data to a printer using commands
like:
# echo "Hi there" >/dev/lp0
# cat myfile.txt >/dev/lp0
If you want print-spooling (queuing of print jobs) you have to download a package
(e.g. lpr). If you w ant to b e a ble t o print graphi cs o r u se diffe rent fonts, you have to
download a graphics converter for your printer (usually the ghostscript package is
used, possibly with another package that automatically detects the format of files
to be printed).
Hints and Tips 12

Windows SSH Client
You can use PuTTY as a Windows ssh or telnet client, which can be found at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
The http://linux.rice.edu/help/tips-ssh.html
clients.
Installing and Adding Packages
To install packages from the main Debian archive at ftp://ftp.debian.org:
1. Verify that the network is configured (including DNS server) so that you have
http access to the server ftp.debian.org with the command:
# telnet ftp.debian.org http
2. Connect to the server by typing GET and pressing the Enter key. You should
see something like this:
# telnet ftp.debian.org http
Trying 128.101.80.131...

PC104 RocketPort Option
The PC104 RocketPort serial card is optional in the DeviceMaster ATS-LNX.
Note: This option can only be installed by Comtrol.
This section discusses the following topics:
• Configuring the serial ports for your serial devices.
• Connecting your serial devices to the ATS-LNX.
• RocketPort quad- or octacable:
- Connector pinouts
- Building loopback plugs
- Building cables (null-modem and straight-through).
• Testing PC104 serial ports.
Configuring the RocketPort PC104 Serial Ports
Use one of the following methods if you need to configure any of the RocketPort
PC104 serial ports for RS-422 or RS-485 use.
Note: The device driver is installed and loads on demand when /dev/ttyRxx devices
are opened. The port default is RS-232.
• The initial configuration used by the driver is specified in /etc/modules.conf:
options rocket board1=0x180 pc104_1=232,232,232,232,232,232,232,232
To change /dev/ttyR3 to RS-422, modify the options line like t his:
options rocket board1=0x180 pc104_1=232,232,232,422,232,232,232,232
Changes to the opti ons line in modules.conf will not take effect until the next
time the driver module is loaded. You may manually unload or load the driver:
# rmmod rocket
# modprobe rocket
•The setrocket utility may be used to change the mode at anytime. Changes
made by setrocket are not persistent, that i s , the next t ime the driver is loa ded,
the setting reverts to those speci fied in the /etc/modules.conf file. An example of
setrocket usage is shown below:
# setrocket /dev/ttyR2 rs485
# setrocket /dev/ttyR5 rs232
To display the current configuration of a port, use setrocket with the device
name:
# setrocket /dev/ttyR4
Invoking setrocket with no arguments displays a summary of t he options.
Note: Settings changes using setrocket are only valid during the current login
•An ioctl() call may be used to read or write the port configuration (this is what
is done by the setrocket utility):
session.
#include "rocket.h"
void set485(int fd)
{
struct rocket_config config;
ioctl(fd, RCKP_GET_CONFIG, &config);
PC104 RocketPort Option 14
Page 15
config.flags &= ~ROCKET_MODE_MASK;
config.flags |= ROCKET_MODE_RS485;
ioctl(fd, RCKP_SET_CONFIG, &config);
}
For a more detailed example, see the setrocket source code available in the Linux
driver at ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/RPort/Drivers/PC104/Linux
Connecting Serial Devices
There is a remote possibility that connecting a peripheral using the wrong
configuration (RS-232 device connected to a RS-422 configured port) could
damage the peripheral. Configure each serial port specifically for the peripheral
that will be connected prior to connecting the peripheral to the ATS-LNX.
Connect your serial devices to the configured port s using the appropriate cables. If
you need to build cables, see RocketPort Serial Port Connectors
RocketPort Serial Port Connectors
The following subsections illustrate the pinouts for the quad- and octacable
connector types and how to build loopback plugs for testing serial ports.

PCMCIA Network Cards
The ATS-LNX includes drivers for a variety of ethernet cards, and a driver for modem and
serial port cards. All modems should work with the supplied driver.
For overall PCMCIA information, refer to: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/
Network Card Installation and Configuration
1. Configure IP address information as describe below.
2. For 802.11 wireless cards, configure ESSID and Key as described below.
3. Insert PCMCIA network card.
4. Examine /var/log/daemon.log to see if card was recognized.
5. Use ifconfig and iwconfig (802.11 only) commands to see if card was configured properly.
.
ESSID and Encryption Key (802.11)
IP Configuration (802.11 and Ethernet)
Settings used for PCMCIA 802.11 wireless networking cards are stored in the
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts file. Two values will usually have to be placed in this file,
the ESSID and encryption key.
There are multiple configurations in the wireless.opts file. The first configuration
that matches the PCMCIA card's MAC address is used. If the same configuration
is to be used for any PCMCIA wireless card, then the section starting with *,*,*,*)
may be used.
1. Remove the followin g four lines from the wireless.opts file.
# --------- START SECTION TO REMOVE ----------*,*,*,*)
;;
# ---------- END SECTION TO REMOVE ------------
2. Add the following lines in the wireless.opt file for the ESSID and encryption
key for your device.
*,*,*,*)
ESSID="
KEY="
;;
your_ESSID
your_key_number
"
"
IP configuration information for PCMCIA network interface cards is stored in the
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts file. The layout of this file is similar to that of wireless.opts:
there is a case statement which can contain multiple configurations. The system
uses the first configuration that matches the card's mode and MAC address
information. If you want the same network configuration used for all PCMCIA
network cards, put the configuration in the *,*,*,*) section at the top of the file.
PCMCIA Network Cards 19

IP Configuration (802.11 and Ethernet)
The /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file looks something like this:
# Network adapter configuration
#
# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr".
#
# the "network address" here is NOT the same as the IP address.
# See the Networking HOWTO. In short, the network address is the IP
# address masked by the netmask.

If no configuration is found in /etc/pcmicia/network.opts, the system will try to use
configuration information found in /etc/network/interfaces. This method has not
proved successful with wireless cards (though it seems to work with normal
Ethernet cards).
If you put IP configuration in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, make sure it is not
duplicated in /etc/network/interfaces. Ha ving configurations in both places (that is,
eth2 configuration in /etc/network/interfaces) has been known to cause problems for
802.11 wireless networking cards.

AUX A Port
This section discusses the following topics:
• How to change the default function of the AUX A port from the default
configuration to a standard RS-232 serial port.
• The default modem initialization string.
By default, AUX A (ttyS1) is configured for use with a modem.
Using the AUX A Port as a Standard tty Port
To disable the dial-in support on the AUX port, use a # character to comm ent ou t
the ttyS1 line in the /etc/inittab file.
#T1:23:respawn:+/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 115200 ttyS1
In both cases you will have to either reboot or do one of the following:
•Notify init of the changes with this command:
# telinit q
• Kill any getty or mgetty running on the port in question:
# ps
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1 ? S 0:05 init [2]
2 ? SW 0:00 [keventd]
[...]
1149 ttyS0 S 0:00 /sbin/getty -L ttyS0 57600 vt100
[...]
# kill 1149
Modem Initialization
The ATS-LNX mgetty configuration uses the AT&F1 command to set the externally
attached modem to factory defaults.
Note: If factory default initialization string is not working, consult your modem's
The initialization string should set the modem to:
•Locked DTE baud rate.
• Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS).
• Verbose result codes.
• Reset when DTR dropped.
The modem initialization string is contained in the /etc/inittab file:

CONSOLE Port
This section contains information about how to use the CONSOLE port. In
addition, this section discusses how to change the default configuration and use it
as a standard RS-232 serial port.
By default, the CONSOLE (ttyS0) port is configured for serial console
administration.
Using the CONSOLE Port as a Standard TTY Port
To disable the login prompt on the CONSOLE port, comment out the ttyS0 line in
the /etc/inittab file.
#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 57600 vt100
In both cases you will have to either reboot or do one of the following:
•Notify init of the changes with this command:
# telinit q
• Kill any getty or mgetty running on the port in question:
# ps

Using the Recovery CD
Comtrol ships a Recovery CD with each ATS-LNX system. You can use the
Recovery CD to:
• Reflash the compact flash in the event that the L inux Embedded system
becomes corrupt.
• Recover the default image to the ATS- LNX compact flash.
• Replace the existing flash with a larger flash using the larger image file.

Using the Recovery CD
To use the Recovery CD, you will need the following:
• A PC with a Linux operating system.
Note: Make sure that the PC is dd capable and is able to access a compact
flash adapter or reader as a block device.
• One of the compact flash adapters or readers:
-IDE
Note: The IDE flash adapter must be a master with no other devices on
that channel because the recovery process is propagated to all
devices on the channel.
-USB
- PCMCIA
• A compact flash.
Use the following proce dure to recover t he default A TS-LNX ima ge onto a co mpact
flash.
1. Install the compact flash adapter or reader using the instructions that came with the device.
2. Insert a compact flash into the compact flash adapter or reader.
3. Log in with root privileges.
4. Mount the CD-ROM drive. For example, on a Redhat machine:
mount /dev/cdrom
5. Change the directory on the CD-ROM:
cd /mnt/cdrom
6. Determine the IDE drive by entering:
ls /proc/ide
7. Reformat the compact flash using this command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/
where
hdc
is the IDE drive from the previous step.

lcom(1) - multi-port serial I/O test program.
lcom [options] [dev [...]]
lcom is a program that can open multiple serial ports or TCP/IP connections and
exercise them in different ways. lcom uses ncurses to provide a text-mode
windowed user interface. Each open channel (tty device or TCP/IP connection is
displayed in its own window. Each window has a status line at the top and the
remainder of the window displays data received on that channel (unless the quiet
flag is selected for that window).
Channel Modes Each of the channels will be in one of the following modes:
test The test mode performs a rudimentary self-test on the connection using an
echo The echo mode transmits any data it receives. Received data is displayed
term The terminal mode acts as a simple dumb terminal. Received data is
mon The monitor mode displays received data (unless the quiet flag is set). No
tput The throughput mode transmits a continuous stream of test data and
All of the modes maintain transmit and receive byte counts and calculate transmit
and receive throughput (averaged over 5-second intervals).
Options A summary of command-line options will be displayed if lcom is invoked with the
-? option. That summary is authoritative. If there are discrepancies between the
displayed summary and this manual page, believe the summary.
The available command-line options are:
-x level Specifies a debugging level from 0 (least verbose) to 9 (most verbose).
-B Use the top window border for status information rather than using
-a Automatically raises the active window to the top when a different
external loopback connector. Modem control lines are exercised for tty
devices, and a block of data is transmitted to the port and will be verified
when it is received back from th e loopback connector. The results of the
tests are displayed in the channel's window (data is not displayed).

Command Line Examples
-q Enable quiet operation. Serial data will not be displayed, though data
counters and throughput values will. Depending on the terminal
connection being used, displaying data at high baud rates may not be
practical or may use up an undesirable amount of CPU time.
-v Verify re ceived da ta agains t the transm itted dat a agai nst the e xpecte d
test pattern.
-m mode Specifies the channel mode. Available modes are mon, tput, echo, test,
and term (the default if no mode is specified).
-f flow Set the flow control to be used. Available flow control modes are sw
(xon/xoff), hw (RTS/CTS) or none (the default). [Affects tty devices
only.]
-w csize Set the character size. Legal values are 5,6,7,8. [Affects tty devices
only.]
-p parity Set the parity for the port. Available values are even, odd, and none
(the default). [Affects tty devices only.]
-b baud Set the baud rate for the port. [Affects tty devices only.]
-d device Specifies a device path to open. May be a tty device (e.g. /dev/ttyS1) or a
TCP/IP destination (e.g. 192.168.0.2:8000). The -d option is only
required if you wish to intersperse device paths with other options.
Device paths that are not followed by an y other options may be
specified on the command line without using -d.
This example start s lcom and opens the three devices specified using default port
settings [lcom -? will show available port settings and their default values].
lcom /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyR5
This example opens the two ports in throughput mode at 115200 baud with
hardware flow control.
lcom -b115200 -f hw -m tput /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyR0
This example opens two ports at 115200 baud with hardware flow control. ttyS0 is
opened in throughput mode, and ttyR0 is opened in ech o mod e. This ma y be u se f ul
if you have ttyS0 and ttyS0 connected to each other through a null-modem cable
and are using ttyR0 to echo data rather than using a loopback connector.
lcom -b115200 -f hw -m tput -d /dev/ttyS0 -m echo -d /dev/ttyR0
This example opens eight ports (ttyR0 through ttyR7) in throughput mode (you
probably have l oopba ck conne ctor s plugged into them). The -q option prev ents test
data from being displayed.
lcom -b230400 -f hw -m tput -q /dev/ttyR[0-7]
This example runs a loopback test. You must have a loopback plug installed on the
port for this test to pass. See RocketPort Serial Port Connectors
on Page 15 if you
need to build loopback plugs for the serial ports on the ATS-LNX.
lcom -m test /dev/ttyR0
This example runs a stream of ASCII data to the port. You must have a loopback
plug installed on the port for this test to pass.
lcom -m tput /dev/ttyR0
This example runs a stream of ASCII data to multiple ports. You must have a
loopback plug installed on the port for this test to pass.
lcom -m tput /dev/ttyR[0-7]
This example runs a stream of ASCII data at a specific baud rate. Y ou must have a
loopback plug installed on the port for this test to pass.
lcom -m tput -b9600 /dev/ttyR0
This example runs a stream of ASCII data with hardware flow control. You must
have a loopback plug in stalled on the port for this test to pass.
lcom -m tput -b9600 -f hw /dev/ttyR0

In the example show ab ove , the device s /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyR0 have been opene d.
Both ports have loopback connectors attached. /dev/ttyS0 is in terminal mode and
some text has been entered on the keyboard which has been sent and then
received and displayed in the window. /dev/ttyR0 is in throughput mode, and the
test data is seen in the window.
Each window has a status line at the top. The status line may be in place of the
upper window border or immediately below it (as shown above) depending on the
-B command line option. The layout of the status line is:
Dev [Mode] <Flags> <Modem> TxCnt/RxCnt TxThr/RxThr
Dev is the device name or IP destination. If the device path starts with
'/dev/tty', that portion will not be shown as a space saving measure.
Mode is the mode in which that port is operating. See modes under the command
line options section.
Flags is a set of single-c haract er f lags tha t are s hown o nly when t hey a re a cti ve.

The lcom program is entirely keyboard driven. One of the open windows will be
active. The active window is indicated by havi ng its status line displayed in
reverse-video. Keyboard commands always apply to the active window (unless
otherwise noted).
All commands except for the next window command consist of an Escape fo l l o w e d
by a single character. Escape-H will display a sc reen showing th e ke y bi n di ngs. On
many PC platforms, holding down the ALT key while striking another key will
prefix that key with Escape (e.g. pressing Alt-x will send Escape-x). On some
terminals, the Meta will work in the same way.
The following commands are available. Except for the next window command, all
commands must be prefixed by Escape:
Ctrl-I Next window
Selects next window as active. Most terminals send Control-I when the
TAB key is pre s se d.
s Stack windows
Arranges all windows in a stacked manne r. Each window will be full width
and they will have enough vertical displacement so that all status lines
are visible.
t Tile windows

Appendix D. Changing the WatchDog Timer
The hardware watch-dog timer is not supported by the installed Linux kernel.
However, it may be accessed directly by user applications if desired.
The W atch-Dog Timer is a device used to ensure that standalone systems can reset
themselves and recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to hang
or crash. The Watch-Dog Timer is a countdown timer that will reset the CPU
when it times out.
The Watch-Dog Timer is enabled by reading port 443H. It should be triggered
before the time-out period ends, otherwise it will assume that the program
operation is abnormal and will issue a reset signal to restart, or activate NMI to
CPU.
The Watch-Dog Timer is disabled by reading port 843H.
JP4 Watch-Dog Timer Settings Description
1-2 Activate NMI to CPU when WDT times-out.
2-3 Reset when WDT time-out.
Open Disable WDT.
Note: Bold text (shaded green in the online version) illustrates the default value.
Three I/O ports control the Watch-Dog Timer and are accessed using the addresses
defined in the following table.
Hex Address Read/Write Description
443H Write Set Watch-Dog Time period
443H Read Enable and refresh the Watch-Dog Timer.
843H Read Disable the Watch-Dog Timer.
Prior to enabling the Watch-Dog Timer, the user has to define the time interval to
be used. The timer interval is defined by writing a value to address 443H. This
value is within the range from 01 (hex) to FF (hex) and defines an interval
between 1 second to 255 seconds, respectively. The following table illustrates this
correlation:
Hex Va lue Time Interval
01 1 sec
02 2 sec
03 3 sec
04 4 sec

FF 255 sec

Appendix D. Changing the WatchDog Timer 65
Page 66
Changing the WatchDog Timer
The Watch-Dog Timer is activated by reading the value at address 443H. To
ensure that a reset condition does not occur, the timer must be periodically reset to
restart the countdown at the begi nning of the defined interval before the time out
period has expired. This is achieved by first disabling the timer by reading address
843H and then re-enabling it by reading the value at 443H before the timer
reaches zero. Refer to the example of the assembly progr am below.
A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within
the operating sys tem, suc h as disk I/O that ca n be very time consuming . T herefore
if the time out period has been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read
within 7 seconds.
Note: When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watch-Dog Timer,
otherwise the system will reset.

Getting Started
Appendix F. Changing BIOS Configuration
This section discusses using the BIOS to change the system defaults. The
DeviceMaster ATS-LNX uses the AW ARD PCI/ISA BIOS for system configuration.
The AWARD BIOS setup program is designed to provide maximum flexibility in
configuring the system by off ering various options which may be selected to meet
your requirements.
Note: The information in this appendix is for reference only. The DeviceMaster
ATS-LNX is pre-configured before shipment. If you need to recover the
Comtrol BIOS default, use this Appendix to reconstruct the proper BIOS
settings.
The Recovery CD does not recover the Comtrol BIOS settings.
When you apply power on the DeviceMaster ATS-LNX, the BIOS enters Power-on-
-Self Test (POST) routines. These rout ines are executed for system test,
initialization, and system configuration verification. After the POST routines are
completed, the following message appears:
" Hit DEL if you want to run SETUP"
To access the AWARD BIOS SETUP UTILITY, press the <Del> key. This screen
