E-EQ-MX7RG-L-ARC MX7 Reference Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The LXE® MX7 is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 equipped

mobile computer capable of wireless data communications.

The mobile device can transmit information using an

802.11 network card and it can store information for later

transmission through an RS-232 or USB port.

The mobile device is vertically oriented and features

backlighting for the display. The touchscreen display

supports graphic features and Windows icons that the

Windows CE 5.0 operating system supports. Keypads are

available in 55-key alphanumeric and 32-key numeric-alpha

versions. Also available is an IBM 5250 55-key keypad

overlay.

This device is a Windows CE 5.0 compatible computer that

can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an

integrated RF scanning computer. The MX7 Cold Storage

(MX7CS) mobile device functions normally in various

temperature ranges. A trigger handle is available as an

accessory.

The attached stylus is used to assist in entering data and

configuring the mobile device. Protective film for the touchscreen is available as an accessory.

The MX7 is powered by a 2200 mAh Lithium-Ion main battery pack and an internal NiCd backup

battery. The MX7 Bluetooth® module supports LXE Bluetooth printers and scanners.

If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to “Chapter 6 – AppLock” for setup and

processing information.

Wireless configuration and security parameters are described in detail in “Chapter 5 – Wireless

Network Configuration”.
