Chapter

Using PDAs with DigiLinX

This chapter describes the requirements and procedures for controlling the DigiLinX

system using a PDA. The DigiLinX system can be controlled by a device that is web-

browser enabled and can run Adobe

Flash

Requirements

 The PDA must run the latest Windows

Mobile

operating system and be powerful

enough to run a web browser with Flash, as well as any other applications that are

running.

NOTE: For a list of devices that support the Windows Mobile operating system, see

Microsoft Windows Mobile at www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/pocketpc.

Although other operating systems and devices may meet the minimum

requirements, they have not been fully tested with NetStreams products and we

cannot guarantee their operation or integration with DigiLinX.

 The PDA must have Adobe Macromedia Flash Player 6 installed. To download

Adobe Macromedia Flash Player 6, go to www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

pocketpc/2002.html. For more information on Macromedia Flash, see

www.adobe.com/mobile

NOTE: Most PDAs do not support direct software downloads. Follow the instructions

from your manufacturer for loading software to the PDA.

 Make sure that the screen size is large enough to display the additional soft buttons

controlling volume and power. A screen too small will display a slightly smaller

version of the DigiLinX interface and could make touch operation difficult.

 Display the DigiLinX interface in landscape mode. See your device’s user’s guide

for information on rotating the screen.

 Run DigiLinX in full-screen mode to avoid scroll bars that cut off some areas of

the interface. If you require a third-party application to display contents in full

screen format, see http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus.
