E-EQ-MX1RG-D MX1 Reference Guide
Chapter 5 Utilities
Introduction
Note: Make sure there is a fully charged battery in the MX1 before beginning a process
described in this chapter. When using the Docking Cradle power supply, make sure there
is an uninterrupted power source during file transfer.
This chapter contains descriptions and instructions for the following MX1 resident utilities:
LXE BCWEDGE
This Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program is used to redirect input from COM1 or COM2
to the BIOS key ring buffer. With this TSR running, input from a communication port appears as
if it was typed in from the keyboard.
This utility is most useful with applications that do not know about the MX1’s scanner that is
connected to COM1. This utility, therefore, allows an off-the-shelf application to accept barcode
data.
LXE Diagnostics
Use the utility programs to verify, test and program the MX1:
• Comm Port Utility
• Keyboard Utility
• Display Utility
• File Transfer Utility
• Scanner Config Utility
• Beeper Utility
• Battery Discharge Utility
• Backup Battery Test Utility
• Parameter Auto-Detection Utility
• Set an API Function
NED ASCII Text Editor
A menu-based text editor provided for use with ROM-DOS. This editor uses the standard
Microsoft Windows interface for cut, copy and paste.
Serial File Transfer Utility
The file transfer utility consists of two programs.
• REMSERV is run on the host computer, usually the mobile computer.
• REMDISK is run on the client computer, usually a desktop or laptop PC.
The computers are connected with a null modem cable. This utility moves files from one
computer to the other over the serial line using DOS Copy or Xcopy commands.
