Q. Is a watchdog timer available?
A. The SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series supports the watchdog timer function.
User applications can use the watchdog timer function by calling the watchdog timer API.
For detailed API usage, refer to the CONTEC Platform SDK.
Q. Can I use a PS/2 mouse?
A. Yes. You can use the PS/2 mouse by starting the “System Setting” applet from within the Control
Panel, selecting the “Input” tab, checking “Used PS/2” and “Show Mouse Cursor”, then saving the
registry.
However, the SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series requires a PS/2 keyboard/mouse splitter cable
plugged into the PS/2 connector on the main unit.

even without checking the “Show Mouse Cursor” option under the “Input” tab in the “System
Setting” dialog box opened from within the Control Panel.
Q. I want to use a Japanese keyboard. Do I have to switch the driver.
A. Launch the “System Setting” applet from within the Control Panel, and you can select either the
101-key or 106-key keyboard.
You can use the selected type of keyboard after saving the registry
Q. I wish to use a touch panel…
A. As the panel computers in the SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series have their LCD equipped with
a touch panel, it is readily available.
Q. How can I turn on the touch panel beep?
A. On the panel computer in the SH4 CPU & .NET installed IPC series, start the “System Setting”
applet from within the Control Panel, select the “Backlight” tab, then check “Touch Panel Beep ON”
to let the touch panel beep sound.
