1.1 Operating System
The MVI module includes General Software Embedded DOS 6-XL. This
operating system provides DOS compatibility along with real-time multitasking
functionality. The operating system is stored in Flash ROM and is loaded by the
BIOS when the module boots.
DOS compatibility allows user applications to be developed using standard DOS
tools, such as Digital Mars and Borland compilers. User programs may be
executed automatically by loading them from either the CONFIG.SYS file or an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. In addition to MVI-ADMNET, ADMTCP.CFG is required to
assign an IP address to the module. Users can store the ADMTCP.CFG file
directly to a Compact Flash.
The format of the ADMTCP.CFG is as follows:
# ProSoft Technology
# Default private class 3 address
my_ip=192.168.0.148
# Default class 3 network mask
netmask=255.255.255.0
# name server 1 up to 9 may be included
# nameserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# name server 2
# nameserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# The gateway I wish to use
gateway=192.168.0.1
# some networks (class 2) require all three parameters
# gateway,network,subnetmask
# gateway 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.0,255.255.255.0
# The name of my network
# domainslist="mynetwork.name"
Note: DOS programs that try to access the video or keyboard hardware directly will not function
correctly on the MVI module. Only programs that use the standard DOS and BIOS functions to
perform console I/O are compatible.
