Preparing a Windows CE Target for downloading
The following steps need to be completed on the ControlStation/ViewStation CE,
CE II, CE IIx, and QuickPanel CE (QuickPanel View and QuickPanel Control)
targets before you can download a project to it. If you are not physically connected
to a ControlStation/ViewStation CE but want to test your project, you can
download the project to your local computer by setting the Use Simulator target
property to True. Note that you cannot download a project that contains a logic
component to a ViewStation CE, since ViewStation CEs do not support logic.
1. Physically connect the ControlStation/ViewStation CE to the Ethernet network. This step may require the help of a
network administrator.
2. Within your Machine Edition project, specify the IP address of the ControlStation/ViewStation CE in the Computer
Address target property.
To find the IP address of a ControlStation/ViewStation CE, double-tap the
System Information icon located on the desktop of the CE unit.
By default, the CE unit uses a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) IP
address. This means that the IP address is dynamically assigned by the Ethernet
network server using DHCP. If you want to use a fixed IP address, you must
manually set the IP address on the ControlStation/ViewStation CE.
Want to know more? In the Help Index, look up downloading and choose “Preparing
Windows CE Targets for Downloading”.
Type the IP address of the
ControlStation/ViewStation CE to which
you want to download your project files.
