5 Within the Mobile Device directory, go to the directory where you
want the files located on the 700 Color Computer, do a right-click for a
pop-up menu, then select Paste.
6 When all of the files are pasted, perform a warm-boot on the 700 Color
Computer. When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top
left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start > Programs > File
Explorer to locate the newly copied executable files, then tap these files
to activate their utilities.
Using t he FTP Server
The 700 Color Computer has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a net-
work via Ethernet, 802.11b, or WAN (Wireless Access Network). This
allows connections to the 700 Color Computer to perform file transfers or
computer management functions. Another benefit is you can create FTP
scripts to automate the process of copying files to the 700 Color Comput-
er. This option is good for when a large number of 700 Color Computers
need updating. See Chapter 7, “Programming,” for more information.
Using a Storage Card
Note: The 730 Computer does not use the CompactFlash storage card,
only Secure Digital storage cards. Use these instructions only if you are
using either a 740 or a 741 Computer that does not have an 802.11 radio
installed. 730, 750, 751, 760, 761 Computers only use Secur e Digital
storage cards.
Use the following steps to install an application using either a Compact-
Flash or a Secure Digital storage card:
1 Suspend the 700 Color Computer and remove the storage card.
2 Insert the storage card into the storage card reader connected to your
desktop PC.
3 Create a “\CabFiles” directory on the storage card, then copy (build into
cabfiles) your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers
into this directory.
4 See “Creating CAB Files” on page 188 to build a “\2577” directory to
control the autolaunching of these CAB files.
5 Remove the storage card from your card reader and reinstall it into the
700 Color Computer.
6 Warm-boot the 700 Color Computer to install these files.
Replicating 700 Color Settings Using the Registry
This information updates the registry on your 700 Color Computer, con-
firms the registry update, then copies the information onto other 700 Col-
or Computers in your network. If using DHCP, no changes are necessary.
If you are using Static IP, the new 700 Color Computer will have the IP
address of the original 700 Color Computer because the copied registry
includes this information.
