Qlarity-Based Terminal Hardware 97
CHAPTER 8
POWER ON SETUP
The Power On Setup utility is used to set up or change the operation settings of the terminal.
Power On Setup includes functions to do the following:
• Download new firmware to the terminal
• Download user applications to the terminal
• Select the application mode
• Set communications settings for the terminal
• Adjust display settings (contrast, backlight, orientation)
• Enter network (Ethernet) settings
• Enter/change password (if used)
• Perform touch screen calibration (touch screen-based terminals only)
• Set the real-time clock
Most of these parameters can also be accessed and changed by the application at runtime.
Refer to the Qlarity Foundry online documentation for the GetSystemSetting( ) and SetSys-
temSetting( ) API functions.
The method of entering the Power On Setup utility varies depending on whether you use a
touch screen, a keypad or a keyboard. Instructions are provided for each type of input device in
the following sections.
8.1 Using a Touch Screen
The touch areas used to enter the Power On Setup utility and calibrate the touch screen are not
shown on the screen. However, after you enter the Power On Setup utility, the touch keys used
to perform the functions are shown on the screen, with the exception of the QTERM-G58 (see
the note on page 99).
The
[Setup] touch area on a screen in landscape orientation is the left quarter of the touch
screen, and the
[Calibration] touch area is the right quarter of the touch screen. If the terminal
screen is in portrait orientation, the
[Setup] touch area is the top quarter of the touch screen,
and the
[Calibration] touch area is the bottom quarter of the touch screen. This means that you
can touch the upper left corner to access the Power On Setup utility and the lower right corner
to perform calibration in either orientation.
