Wireless - Bluetooth Do not operate the ReVolution in areas sensitive to radio interference, such as airplanes and hospitals. There is no means to shut off the Bluetooth and WLAN radios installed in the system. For PAN environments, Bluetooth provides freedom from wired connections. By using this radio-based link, computers, mobile phones, PDA and other portable handheld devices are able to transmit data to each other or connect to Internet without a single cable. While the possibilities are nearly endless for the applications of the technology, some of the current capabilities include: • Eliminating the need for wired connections between electronic products and accessories such as a keyboard, mouse, headsets, printers, other computers; • Exchanging files, business cards, calendar appointments, etc. with groups of Bluetooth users; • Transferring and synchronizing files between devices; • Connecting to localized content services in public areas; • Functioning as remote controls, keys, tickets and e-cash wallets. The Bluetooth wireless technology and Wireless LAN (802.11b) are complementary technologies. The Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to replace cables between cell phones, laptops, and other computing and communication devices within a 10-meter range. Wireless LAN is wireless Ethernet; it provides an extension or replacement of wired networks for dozens of computing devices. Issues do arise with the coexistence of both Bluetooth and Wireless LAN. Any time devices are operated in the same frequency band, there is the potential for interference which results in a lower bandwidth This device has a maximum range of about 10 meters, depending on the environment. The maximum data transfer rate is 1.0Mbps. This is a Class 2 device with a typical Tx power of 0 dBm. The operating frequency range is 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz with a channel spacing of 1 MHz.

Embedded Controller The Embedded Controller (EC) in the ReVolution supervises its “power state” by monitoring incoming power levels and temperature, making decisions for safe operation. The EC also interacts with the system BIOS and informs the APM manager with power-related messages. When a fault condition occurs, the EC will change the power state and indicate the fault by flashing a series of codes on the power LED: Embedded Controller LEDs Refer to the “ReVolution at a Glance” section for LED locations. Symbol Name Purpose NumLock Indicates NumLock state. LED is on when NumLock is active. Caps Lock Indicates capital letter state. LED is on when Caps Lock is active. Battery Indicator Indicates battery status Power Indicates AC power attached Hard Disk Drive Activity Indicates when hard drive is accessed. LAN Activity Indicates embedded LAN activity. Wireless Activity Future Use Mail Future Use You must clear the active fault before the EC will continue operation. The EC is continuously on when power is applied to the ReVolution. It is field-upgradeable. The EC will perform a power-down override, which forces the ReVolution to turn off, when a user presses the power on/off button continually for 4 seconds. Note: The Embedded Controller is active whenever there is a DC power source (external or battery) present, even with ReVolution power off. If the ReVolution is stored with one battery installed, the EC will discharge a fully charged battery in approximately 27 days. Kontron recommends that the ReVolution be stored for extended periods with no battery installed.

I/O Device Configuration Menu The CPU communicates with external devices such as printers through devices called Input/Output (I/O) ports such as serial and parallel ports. These I/O devices require the use of system resources such as I/O addresses and interrupt lines. If these devices are Plug and Play, either the BIOS can allocate the devices during POST, or the operating system can do it. If the I/O devices are not Plug and Play, they may require manually setting them in Setup. On some systems, the chipset manages the communication devices. Other systems have, instead, a separate I/O chip on the motherboard for configuring and managing these devices. Many systems allow you to control the configuration settings for the I/O ports. Select I/O Device Configuration on the Advanced Menu to display this menu and specify how you want to configure these I/O Devices: Use the legend keys to make your selections and exit to the Main Menu. Use the following chart to configure the Input/Output settings: Feature Options Description Serial port A: Serial port B: Disabled Enabled (Default) Auto OS Controlled Disabled turns off the port. Enabled requires you to enter the base Input/Output address and the Interrupt number on the next line. Auto makes the BIOS configure the port automatically during POST. OS Controlled lets the PnP Operating System (such as Windows 95) configure the port after POST. Parallel Port: Disabled Enabled (Default) Auto OS Controlled Disabled turns off the port. Enabled requires you to enter the base Input/Output address and the Interrupt number below. Auto makes the BIOS auto configure the port during POST. OS Controlled lets the PnP Operating System (such as Windows 95) configure the port after POST. Mode Output only Bi-directional ECP (Default) EPP & ECP Output only is standard one-way protocol for a parallel device. Bi-directional uses two-way protocol of an Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). Floppy Disk Controller Disabled Enabled Auto (Default) Enables the on-board legacy diskette controller. Disabled turns off all legacy diskette drives. Auto select per BIOS or OS Use this menu to specify how the I/O (Input and Output) ports are configured: • Manually by you. • Automatically by the BIOS during POST • Automatically by a PnP Operating System such as Windows 95 after the Operating System boots. Warning: If you choose the same I/O address or Interrupt for more than one port, the menu displays an asterisk (*) at the conflicting settings. It also displays this message at the bottom of the menu: * Indicates a DMA, Interrupt, I/O, or memory resource conflict with another device. Resolve the conflict by selecting another settings for the devices. ReVolution User Manual 1.00 02/25/03 63
Keyboard Features Select Keyboard from the menu bar on the Main Menu. Use the legend keys to make your selections and exit to the Main Menu. Use the following chart to configure the keyboard features: Feature Options Description Numlock Auto On Off (Default) On or Off turns NumLock on or off at bootup. Auto turns NumLock on if it finds a numeric key pad. Key Click Enabled Disabled (Default) Enables key click. Keyboard auto-repeat rate 2/sec 6/sec 10/sec 13.3/sec 21.8/sec 26.7/sec 30/sec (Default) Sets the number of times per second to repeat a keystroke when you hold the key down. Keyboard auto-lag delay ¼ sec ½ sec (Default) ¾ sec 1 sec Sets the delay time after the key is held down before it begins to repeat the keystroke. Security Menu Select Security from the menu bar on the Main Menu. Use the legend keys to make your selections and exit to the Main Menu. Enabling "Supervisor Password" requires a password for entering Setup. The passwords are not case sensitive. Pressing <Enter> at either Set Supervisor Password or Set User Password displays a dialog box like this: Set Password Enter password: [ ] Confirm password: [ ] Enter: Accept Type the password and press <Enter>. Repeat. Note: In some systems, the User and Supervisor passwords are related; you cannot have a User password without first creating a Supervisor password. In other systems, you can create and use them independently. Use the following chart to configure the system-security and anti-virus options. Feature Options Description Set Supervisor Password Up to seven alphanumeric characters Pressing <Enter> displays dialog box for entering the supervisor password. In related systems, this password gives full access to Setup menus. Set User Password Up to seven alphanumeric characters Pressing <Enter> displays the dialog box for entering the user password. In related systems, this password gives restricted access to SETUP menus. Password on Boot Enabled Disabled Enabled requires a password on boot. Requires prior setting of the Supervisor password. If supervisor password is set and this option disabled, BIOS assumes user is booting. Diskette Access Enabled Disabled Enabled requires a password to boot from or access the floppy disk. 64 02/25/03 ReVolution User Manual 1.00
Boot Menu Select Boot from the menu bar on the Main Menu. Use this menu to arrange to specify the priority of the devices from which the BIOS will attempt to boot the Operating System. The BIOS will attempt first to boot from the CD-ROM drive (the only Removable Device listed). Failing that, it will attempt to boot from the Primary Master hard disk, and so on down the list. Removable Devices, Hard Drive, and Network Boot are the generic types of devices on your system from which you can boot an operating system. You may have more than one device of each type. If so, the generic type is marked with a plus or minus sign. Use the <Enter> key to expand or collapse the devices marked with <+> or <->. Press <Ctrl+Enter> to expand all such devices. Note: Floppy drives are not managed on this menu as part of Removable Devices. To change a device’s priority on the list, first select it with the up-or-down arrows, and move it up or down using the <+> and <-> keys. Pressing <n> moves a device between the Removable Devices and Hard Drive. Pressing <Shift+1> enables or disables a device. Feature Options Description Removable Devices Legacy Floppy Drives Keys used to view or configure devices Hard Drive Toshiba MK6412MAT-(PM) Bootable Add - Cards CD-ROM Drive Exit Menu Select Exit from the menu bar on the Main Menu. The following sections describe each of the options on this menu. Note that <Esc> does not exit this menu. You must select one of the items from the menu or menu bar to exit. Exit Saving Values After making your selections on the Setup menus, always select either "Exit Saving Value" or "Save Changes." Both procedures store the selections displayed in the menus in CMOS (short for "battery-backed CMOS RAM") a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After you save your selections, the program displays this message: Values have been saved to CMOS! Press <space> to continue If you attempt to exit without saving, the program asks if you want to save before exiting. During bootup, PhoenixBIOS attempts to load the values saved in CMOS. If those values cause the system boot to fail, reboot and press <F2> to enter Setup. In Setup, you can get the Default Values (as described below) or try to change the selections that caused the boot to fail. Exit Discarding Changes Use this option to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any new selections you may have made. The selections previously in effect remain in effect. ReVolution User Manual 1.00 02/25/03 65
Load Setup Defaults To display the default values for all the Setup menus, select "Load Setup Defaults" from the Main Menu. The program displays this message: ROM Default values have been loaded! Press <space> to continue If, during bootup, the BIOS program detects a problem in the integrity of values stored in CMOS, it displays these messages: System CMOS checksum bad - run SETUP Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup The CMOS values have been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in CMOS. Press <F1> to resume the boot or <F2> to run Setup with the ROM default values already loaded into the menus. You can make other changes before saving the values to CMOS. Discard Changes If, during a Setup Session, you change your mind about changes you have made and have not yet saved the values to CMOS, you can restore the values you previously saved to CMOS. Selecting “Discard Changes” on the Exit menu updates all the selections and displays this message: CMOS values have been loaded! Press <space> to continue Save Changes Selecting “Save Changes” saves all the selections without exiting Setup. You can return to the other menus if you want to review and change your selections. 66 02/25/03 ReVolution User Manual 1.00
BIOS Messages The following is a list of the messages that the BIOS can display. Most of them occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the way it has been configured. Following the list are explanations of the messages and remedies for reported problems. *If your system displays one of the messages marked below with an asterisk (*), write down the message and contact Kontron Technical Support. If your system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus, reset the computer, enter Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error. 0200 Failure Fixed Disk Fixed disk is not working or not configured properly.
