CX80xx - Operating system

The CX80xx comes with a Microsoft CE operating system, version 6.0. This operating system is adapted and optimized for the CX80xx. Not all CE6.0 components are available.

Safety

From image version 3.54b security was tightened. This applies to CERHOST and TELNET. Both services are now switched off in delivery state. To reactivate these services, you need a Micro SD card reader.

CERHOST

CERHOST is deactivated by current images on first start-up via the registry file CeRemoteDisplay_Disable.reg, which is located in the folder RegFiles.

To reactivate CERHOST, delete the file CeRemoteDisplay_Disable.reg from the folder RegFiles and also the folder Documents and Settings.
Then reinsert the Micro SD card in the CX and reboot. The CX creates a new Document and Settings directory and then reboots automatically.
The CX is then accessible again via CERHOST.

TELNET

TELNET is deactivated by current images on first start-up via the registry file Telnet_Disable.reg, which is located in the folder RegFiles.

To reactivate TELNET, delete the file Telnet_Disable.reg from the folder RegFiles and also the folder Documents and Settings.
Then reinsert the Micro SD card in the CX and reboot. The CX creates a new Document and Settings directory and then reboots automatically.
The CX is then accessible again via TELNET.

IMAGE

If you do not know what image is loaded on the CX80xx, you can determine it quite easily.

• Via the web diagnostics page of the CX. Here you can find the build number under the TwinCAT device.
  Opening the web diagnostics page:
  - IP address</config
  or
  - CX name/config
  Example:
  - 172.16.17.201/config
  or
  - CX-01551E/config
  
  
• Via a Micro SD card reader.
  The Micro SD card contains a file with the name of the image.
  Example CX8000_CE600_LF_v354b_TC211R3_B2248.
  TC211R3_2248 indicates the TwinCAT build; in the example the build is 2248.
