Reading out the operating system version
You can view the Android operating system version and other version information in the
system settings under "Desktop > App overview > Settings > About tablet".
You can view, for example, the following version information in the system settings:
• Android version
This area contains information on the Android operating system version. It offers
conclusions relating to basic functions of the Android version and its API level.
• Build number
This area contains information on the product version as well as a unique internal ID of
the software version.
• Kernel version
This area contains information about the version of the standard Linux kernel used and its
modifications. The date shown indicates the creation date of the modified kernel.
SystemApp
Using the "SystemApp", you can read out various Android-based device, memory, network
and battery information relating to the reader.
NTP server
Android operating systems usually need Internet access to synchronize the device clock. By
default, Android synchronizes its clock with the time server "2.android.pool.ntp.org".
Synchronization with an NTP server is not planned and, therefore, it is not usually possible to
set a specific NTP server in an Android operating system.
However, the SIMATIC RF160B has a function for synchronizing the device clock with an NTP
server. You can find this function at the following path: "Desktop > App overview > Settings >
Date & time > NTP server".
Ethernet/WLAN
Ethernet (charging/docking station)
The charging/docking station of the reader has an Ethernet interface via which the
charging/docking station or the mobile reader can be integrated into a wired network. The
device obtains its network configuration via DHCP by default.
To integrate the charging/docking station into a network, you need to create the
"network_settings.ini" file under the path "sdcard > ACD". The file must contain the following
entries:
