1. Features of the Windows CE .NET 4.2
Windows CE .NET 4.2 installed on the SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series has the following
CONTEC-proprietary features :
- VARIETY OF DRIVERS
As standard equipment, this series provides Windows CE drivers for all devices installed on the
motherboard. For information about the drivers, see Chapter 3, “Standard Drivers”.
- Setting function
This series allows you to set each standard driver using the dedicated control panel. You can use this
function to customize the unit to your needs.
For information about available adjustments, see Chapter 6, “System Setting”.
- CONTEC Manager
Supplies many remote maintain tools for use this series more easily.
For the details about functions in “CONTEC Manager”, please refer to Chapter 7, “CONTEC
Manager”.
- OBJECT STORE / REGISTRY BACKUP FUNCTION
When any modification is made to a driver we have provided, this function allows you to modify the
module without changing the Windows CE OS image (“NK.BIN”). Also, it allows you to back up
registry settings.
- NFDisk function
As Windows CE can handle onboard NAND Flash as its disk, your application can be copied onto
NFDisk.
- Quick boot
This series employs the XIP & memory loading boot function for faster startup (about 10 seconds)
and operation.
- WATCH DOG TIMER FUNCTION
This series supports watch dog timer function. User application can use watch dog timer by call
watchdog timer APIS.
- BACK LIGHT FUNCTION
This series supports backlight function. This function can be set from the control panel to ensure
that the LCD backlight is switched off when no input has been made for a certain period of time.
- Auto-Run function
It is possible to start programs when a ATA card or a CF card is inserted into PC card slots. By using
this function, many work can be completed automatically, such as file copying, program installation,
etc. Details about the usage of auto-run function, please refer to Chapter 12, “Auto RUN Function”.
- BIOS Update Function
This series uses an exclusive BIOS to provide hardware initialization as well as versatile boot
functions.
The BIOS is contained on an EEPROM and includes a BIOS update function which allows easy
updating for version upgrades.
Also included is an emergency boot function as a recovery means in case of failing to write BIOS.
Details about the recovery method , please refer to Chapter 11, “Emergency Boot Function”.

2. Basic operation
Run a program (Using TASKMAN)
The SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series has two shells : a simple shell (TASKMAN) and a Windows
like shell (IESHELL).
By default, TASKMAN is selected as the shell, so you need to take the following steps to execute an
application.
1. With Windows CE up and running, press the ALT and Tab keys at the same time (ALT+Tab) to
invoke TASKMAN (Task Manager).
2. When TASKMAN has been started, press the [Run] button to open the “Run” dialog box. When you
know the name of a desired program, enter its full pathname in the “Open” field and press the [OK]
button to run the program.
3. If you do not know the name of the desired program, press the [Browse] button in the “Run” dialog
box. In the dialog box that appears, select that program and press the [OK] button.
The full pathname of the selected program will be entered in the “Open” field in the “Run” dialog
box. Press the [OK] button to invoke the desired program.

2. Basic operation
Switching the Shell
To use IESHELL on the SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series, start the “System Setting” applet in the
Control Panel(control.exe) to select the shell to be used.
For details on “System Setting”, see Chapter 6 “System Setting”.

6. System Setting
Windows CE installed on the SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series has the “System Setting” icon in the
Control Panel as the assorted setting tool to flexibly meet the user’s needs.
CAUTION
- When you have made changes to system settings, you have to back up the registry to save the new
settings to the system.
The changes you made to most of the system settings take effect the next time you start (restart) the
system.
- If you save the registry after selecting SVGA while your system supports only VGA, for example,
the system may fail to get started normally.
In such cases, execute a forced reset to start the system restored with the factory settings.
