Note: Indicates an operational procedure, practice, or condition to which you should pay special attention. CAUTION: Alerts you of conditions, which can result in loss or corruption of data, or damage to device. DANGER: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices and property-damageonly accident hazards.
MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual Section 1: Getting Started What is the CPU Box? The Motorola Mobile Workstation 800 (further MW800) series is Motorola's highest-performing and most rugged data communication and computing solution. It is specifically designed for the harsh conditions of the mobile environment--areas not suitable for conventional notebook or desktop computers. Refer to Appendix D for detailed specifications.
Section 2: Basic Operations This section describes the following operations: • • • • • Power On Power Off Standby Wake Up Reset Power On This chapter describes methods to power on the CPU box in normal and extreme conditions. NOTE: Prior to powering on the CPU, ensure that the main power switch on the rear CPU panel is in the ON position. Normal operation The CPU box can be turned on either from the vehicle ignition switch or by the power button located on the front panel.
MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual Low Temperature Conditions The device supports working hard disk conditions even if it’s turned off. When the ambient temperature drops below the low hard disk operational limit, an internal heater will automatically adjust and maintain the working conditions (see Hard disk heating when device is off parameter in section 3) for pre-defined time.
Normal Operation The CPU box can be turned off either by the vehicle ignition switch or by the power button located on the front panel. The CPU box can also be turned off with the Windows Shut Down process. Remember to save important information before turning the device off. • If the CPU box is connected via the ignition and configured to be powered off by the ignition switch (see section 3, Ignition shut down preference setting is SHUTDOWN), rotate the car key it to OFF position.
MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual • Internal temperature exceeds the high operational limit. If during operation the ambient temperature exceeds the operating temperature range or internal temperature exceeds the high operational limit for any reason, the CPU processor gradually slows down, and eventually powers off. A message ”CPU temperature is high. The system will shutdown in 3 minutes. Please save your work” will warn you about this event.
Resume If the device is in Standby mode, the following methods will resume it: • • • • • • • • • Ring Indicator from a serial port USB bus activity An input from the keyboard Changing a touch pad position A contact to the touch panel of the MW800 display Pressing the Emergency key of the MW800 display Pressing the Function key of the MW800 display LAN (Wake on LAN message) Power button (if configured) If the CPU box configuration allows wake up from a serial port (see section 3, Radio ring indicator (
MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual CAUTION: If the system does not respond, you can turn the device off by pressing and holding the power button for 6 seconds or more. Be aware, this method of hardware power off may damage your hard disk.
Section 3: CPU Configuration The CPU has a protected memory area to store the configuration parameters accessed when you turn it on. That binary-format data contains basic information about CPU capabilities including general settings, power-up, power-off modes, etc. This chapter describes the various configuration parameters that can be selected and modified as required. CPU Configuration Parameters Power source Provides capability to select a power source: either 13.8VDC or 9VDC car batteries.
MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual Ignition shut down preference Selects desired CPU action when turning the ignition switch off. The following options are available: • • NONE SHUTDOWN Ignore turning the ignition switch off. Shut the device down when the ignition switch is turned off. If this option is selected, set Ignition shutdown timeout, which specifies the period to elapse between turning off the ignition switch and the CPU shutting down. Factory setting is NONE.
Selects initial mode of a GPS receiver if your CPU is fitted with the internal Trimble GPS unit. Factory setting is OFF. GPS mode This parameter is pertinent if your CPU is fitted with the internal Trimble GPS device. It selects the standard protocol used by GPS receiver to transmit data. The NMEA and TSIP/TAIP options are available. Factory setting is TSIP/TAIP for F5207A and NMEA for F5217A. Radio ring indicator (RI) Enables or disables wake-up from the RI line of the serial COM3 port.
MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual BIOS Setup The BIOS is a program stored on a Flash chip on the motherboard with a default configuration that starts when you turn on the CPU. The device provides a BIOS Setup Utility that enables the selection and modification of different BIOS setup parameters. Note that incorrect BIOS changes can prevent the device from working. Factory BIOS setting can be found in Appendix J.
Figure 2. Codeplug Editor To modify configuration parameters use the MPS tool as the following: • • • • • Click on Read from CPU to read the codeplug parameters. If your device is successfully read, you will see CPU parameters. Click on Save to file to backup the original codeplug data. Modify a parameter per your selection. Click on Write to CPU to program the device. If the device is successfully programmed, the following message appears.
MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual Section 4: CPU Software This manual assumes that you are familiar with basic Windows operations. If this is not the case, be sure to read the documentation that came with your version of Windows before you proceed.
