USB Port

The USB port is an USB2.0 full speed host port. It can be used to expand the storage of Matrix 604. USB client can work with

ActiveSync to exchange file and data between PC and Matrix

604.

Reset Button

Press the “ Reset ” button to activate the hardware reset. Please always use

“ reboot

”

command to reset Matrix 604. You should only use this function if the software reboot does not function properly.

Power LED

The Power LED will show solid green if power is properly applied

Ready LED

After Power ON, Matrix 604 starts booting. Once system is boot up, the Ready LED will show solid green.

Link/Act LED

When Ethernet port are connected to the network, Link/Act will show solid green and if there is traffic in the Ethernet, this

LED will flash

Serial Port LED

These four dual color LEDs indicate the data traffic at the serial ports. When RXD line is high then Green light is ON and when TXD line is high, Yellow light is ON.

Serial Port

The four serial ports can be configured as RS-232, RS-422 or RS-

485 by software. They use RJ45 connector and the pin assignment are shown as following table.

Port 1: RS-232/422/485

RS-232: RXD,TXD,RTS,CTS,DSR,DTR,DCD,GND

RS-422: TXD+, TXD-,RXD+,RXD-,GND

RS-485: DATA+,DATA-,GND

Port 2/3/4:

RS-232: RXD,TXD,RTS,CTS,GND

RS-485: DATA+, DATA-, GND

Serial Console & GPIO Port:

Serial console port is used for locally accessing Matrix 604 system using RS-232 port. The console port uses RJ45 connector and is next to Ethernet port. Therefore please be careful to plug in the right connector

Port 0: RS-232:RXD,TXD,GND

Console

Therefore you need to prepare or purchase the serial console cable (CB-RJ2CON-100) in order to use the serial console port .

In addition to the serial console signal, the console RJ45 port also provides GPIO ( programmable I/O signal) function. The GPIO port is CMOS I/O and can be programmed as digital input or output. Power up setting is digital input mode with 75K ohm pull up resistor.

Power Connector

Connect the 9 to 48VDC power line to Matrix 604. If the power is properly supply, the power LED will show a solid green color.

Ethernet Port

The Ethernet Port use RJ45 connector

Factory Default Settings

LAN 1 IP Address: DHCP

Login: None

Password: None

Serial Console Port:

Baud rate: 115200

Data format: 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop bit (N,8,1)

Flow Control: None

Terminal type: VT100

Power on and System boot up

Once Matrix-604 is correctly power on, you can see the message prompt from the serial console port. The system starts from the initial table and a batch file, autoexec.bat

which is located at \NandFlash will follow up. Therefore user can edit the autoexec.bat file or init table for your auto run program. To skip the autoexec.bat, please repeatedly key $

(shift+4) right after system boot up.

Initial Table:

WinCE uses initial table to decide the order of program/service to start after power on. You can use init command to configure the initial table as follow:

Number 70 is Artila Manager and Number 71 is WinCE remote display control.

Network Settings

To configure the network setting by serial console, you can use command ifconfig as followed. To check current network configuration, you can use command ipconfig

Telnet Configuration

Telnet is enabled without authentication as factory default. To disable or add authentication, please use command telnetdcfg as follow:

FTP Configuration

FTP is enabled without authentication as factory default. To disable or add authentication, please use command follow: ftpdcfg as

Serial Ports Configuration

The serial port of Matrix-604 is mapped as followed

Serial 1=> USB Console (ActiveSync)

Serial 2=> Hardware Console Port (RS-232)

Serial 3=> Matrix-604 Port 1 (RS-232/422/485)

Serial 4=> Matrix-604 Port 2 (RS-232/485)

Serial 5=> Matrix-604 Port 3 (RS-232/485)

Serial 6=> Matrix-604 Port 4 (RS-232/485)

To configure serial port settings, please use command setuart as follow:

User Account Manager

To create user group and account, you can use command usrmgr. After user ’ s account and password are created, user can add authentication in telnet and ftp function by using telnetdcfg and ftpdcfg .

File System

User programs and files should be saved at NandFlash. The other folders are saved as RAMDisk therefore do not save your data to them. Under NandFlash, you will find www folder and autoexec.bat file. Www is for web page and autoexec.bat is for auto run program. If you have a USB disk plugged in Matrix-604, you will find a new folder Hard Disk available.

Serial Console Configuration

The serial console port of Matrix-604 can be disabled or redirect to other serial port by command setconsole as follow:

GPIO Control

Matrix-604 comes with five GPIO which share the serial console port connector. Use gpioctl command to control the

GPIO port. The I/O number starts from #1 to #5 and can be configured as input or output independently.

Beep

Beep command will beep the buzzer as follow. update update command is used to update the kernel and loader of

WinCE 6.0. Current version of WinCE is available in Artila

CD.

Remote Display Control

Matrix 604 comes with WinCE remote display control software. You can find this software in Artila CD at

\tool\cerhost.exe. Choose connect to find and connect Matrix-

604 and ok to connect it. You can also enter the IP address of

Matrix-604 to connect it.

ActiveSync

Matrix-604 supports Microsoft ActiveSync via USB client.

You can download ActiveSync from Microsoft web server.

ActiveSync provides an easy way to transfer files between PC and Matrix-604.

Install Matrix604 SDK

Matrix-604 WinCE 6.0 SDK is located at Artila CD\SDK folder. You need to install Microsoft Studio 2005 before installing Matrix604 SDK.

Choose Matrix604_CE_SDK for the smart device application and click the device option.

Web Page Directory

The web pages are placed at /NandFlash/www and the home page name should be index.htm

Reboot

Reboot command is used to reboot the system.
