8.4.4 Installation of Application Program
This section describes how to install the application program, after it has been debugged, on the
actual terminal. The following table summarizes IT-2000 installation required after purchase.
(1) Installation of main battery and sub-batteries
(2) Calibration
(3) Formatting the F-ROM drive (for models with an F-ROM drive).
(4) Setting the RAM disk size and formatting it (if the RAM disk is used)
(5) Setting the system time
(6) Other various setups including the Auto Power OFF time, etc.
(7) Copying application programs, CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, etc.
This section mainly explains about point (7) in the above table. For information about (2) through
(6), refer to Chapter 3 "System Menu".
There are three ways of installing applications in the IT-2000. Each is explained in detail below:
(1) Installation with a PC card
(2) Installation from a PC
(3) Copying application program onto another IT-2000
(1) Installation with a PC card
This method is used to automatically install the application using the card boot function. To do this,
first create an ATA card for card boot and store the developed application program on it. Then
provide a line through which to copy the application program into the IT-2000 in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file that will be executed at card boot.
How to create a card for installation :
Make an appropriate directory on the ATA card and copy the application program, files
that are used by this application program, CONFIG.SYS, and AUTOEXEC.BAT onto
this directory.
Create CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT for card boot. At the end of
AUTOEXEC.BAT add a line for copying the above mentioned directory wholly onto the
user disk.
The above steps complete the creation of a card for installation.
