6)

How is DCS/CE loaded?

 

DCS/CE follows the Microsoft installation procedures required for Windows CE logo certification. DCS/CE is shipped electronically or on diskette and is initially installed onto your companion desktop or laptop PC. If your Windows CE-powered device is connected at the time of installation, DCS/CE will be automatically installed onto the device. If a connection does not exist at the time of installation, DCS/CE will be automatically installed the next time a connection is made.

How can I decrease the DCS/CD footprint on my Windows CE-powered device?

 

Below is a table showing the names of files that may be deleted when the corresponding connector, emulator, tool or utility is not required. Deleting unnecessary files will free up memory for other applications. ANSI-BBS is the default emulator. As such, this file should NOT be deleted.

Notes:

  1. ANSI-BBS is the default emulator. As such, this file should NOT be deleted.
  2. The VT-Series and AT&T 605 emulation file (vtseries.dll) can be deleted ONLY if the VT-Series AND AT&T 605 emulations are not needed. This file is used by both the VT-Series and AT&T 605 emulations.

With only the ANSI emulation and the Telnet connector installed, the smallest achievable product size is:

  • MIPS CPU: 1,008,452 bytes
  • SH3 CPU: 801,092 bytes
  • SH4 CPU: 801,604 bytes
  • StrongARM CPU: 837,444 bytes

NOTE:  The MFCCE211.DLL file must be present for DCS/CE to operate. If it is not already installed on your device, the DCS/CE installation program will automatically install it. The file size is:

  • MIPS CPU: 537,428 bytes
  • SH3 CPU: 392,019 bytes
  • SH4 CPU: 392,019 bytes
  • StrongARM CPU: 397,139 bytes

I recieved an invalid serial number message when I entered the provided serial number at the prompt.

 

When entering the serial number during installation onto the Windows CE-powered device, you MUST type the dashes between the groups of numbers.
