9. On the Workgroup or Computer Domain dialog window, assign the computer as a
member of the appropriate Domain or Workgroup for your network. Select Next to
continue.
After network configuration, the computer will automatically restart and attempt to log in
with the administrator user account.
After rebooting, complete any network configuration required for the computer. By
default, the computer is configured to obtain an IP address automatically (dynamically
obtain an IP address from a network server).
Using a touchscreen
The VersaView Integrated Display Computer is equipped with a touchscreen. The
touchscreen and the touchscreen controller are both factory installed and connected.
Touchscreen serial port usage
The touchscreen controller for a VersaView computer connects internally to the COM2
serial port. The touchscreen is factory configured with the proper COM2 and touchscreen
driver settings, so no user configuration is required.
If for any reason these settings are corrupted, reset the COM2 serial port to 9600bps, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Driver software
The touchscreen driver is already loaded on the computer. The driver software is also
provided on a floppy diskette.
Resistive touchscreen technology
Resistive touchscreens are activated by pressure applied to the touchscreen by an
operator’s finger. You can operate a resistive touchscreen while wearing gloves.
If your computer is being placed on a domain you will be prompted for a network
administrator login.
After the Discrete MPS on-site services are completed, do not change the password for the
administrator user account. Changing the password for the administrator user account will
prevent the Discrete MPS from functioning properly.
The touchscreen utility defaults to COM1 serial port setting. You must change this setting to
COM2 when reloading the touchscreen driver.
