CHAPTER THREE - PL3000 BASICS

Error Reporting
In Windows Embedded CE there is a set of technologies to get information
about the state of the machine at the time of a program crash. With an ‘Error
Reporting’ applet you can disable or enable this system property. Furthermore, you
can select how much memory the error reporting system allocates for its report
files.
Input Panel
With an Input Panel applet you can change the appearance of the touch
screen input methods. It is also possible to choose between the soft-key and the
transcriber input panel. In practice, however, you may need this applet if you want
to use larger soft keys on the soft-key input panel. The button bar of the transcribe
input panel makes the same property sheet available for the transcriber input
method.
Internet Options
Internet Options is a utility to configure Internet Explorer. This property sheet
dialog is also available on the view menu in the Internet Explorer.
Keyboard
A Keyboard applet makes it possible to enable/disable the auto-repeat
property of the keys on the keypad, and to adjust the following auto-repeat
parameters: repeat delay and repeat rate
Network and Dial-up Connections
The name of this applet refers to a central connectivity panel that may be
expected to be a center of all the means of connectivity in the Windows CE system.
In some senses, the Network and Dial-up Connections panel could be considered
to be a control center, but in reality it does not play its role unambiguously. Further,
you may need this sub-control panel only to assign static IP-address information to
a WLAN interface; DHCP is set default to the interface. A double-tap on a
‘SDCCF10G1’ icon in the panel window opens a dialog to assign IP-address
information to the WLAN interface.
With every connectivity option of the PL3000, there is an icon for making a
new connection. A double-tap on the ‘Make New Connection’ icon opens the dialog
to add a new connection such as virtual private network or point-to-point
connection among others. Besides, there is a ‘Gprs’ icon in the window of the
Network and Dial-up Connections. This icon’s presence has no informative value
other than that the installed Windows CE image on your PL3000 is capable of
handling GPRS modems that the dialog of the ‘Gprs’ connection lists. If you select
the ‘Gprs’ icon, and then tap on the ‘Properties’ item on the ‘Connection’ menu, you
gain access to a GPRS modem list called ‘Select a modem:’.
In case of uncertainty about the presence of the mobile option (GPRS) on your
PL3000, try to open a WWAN Configuration applet by double-tapping a NID
WWAN icon in the control panel. If the NID WWAN applet opens, your PL3000
