• The exact error messages that show up on screen

In addition, for the software compatible issue that we suggest to visit the website of our distributor to find the update information about the product first. Normally, the way might help solve application software problem quickly.

Precautions for use

• More frequent and larger data access on eMMC memory makes the eMMC life span shorter. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use a Micro SD card for large data access.
• When both DC-in and PoE+ are connected to the FES101E6, the connection with higher voltage will be the main power source.
• The Operating Temperature is a result of the test performed in experimental chamber. It is highly suggested to execute a solid testing under actually application environment.

Software and Technical Supports

Android Programming Guide

ADB installation

Originally, the USB3.0 was defaulted as host mode. Before use function ADB, the USB 3.0 Port have to be set to device mode by following steps.

Step1. Scroll to “Settings > About Tablet”

Step2. From “Settings” select “About tablet” to enter the dialog, and then click “Build number” in the dialog as shown. Android will pop up a countdown message. Keep clicking it until zero for Android to authorize the user to be a Developer.

Step3. After finished above action, a new item “Developer Options” will appear in the system block.

Step4.Get into the new item “Developer Options” and turn on the USB debugging function.

Note: Please do not change the others that you do not understand what it does.

Step5. Scroll to “Settings > USB”

• Then Scroll to “USB > ADB/HOST”
  

• Set USB3.0 as ADB
  

To install APK software over the ADB function of PC :

1. Complete the connection between USB3.0 (Type A) port of FES101E6 and USB port of PC.
2. Enter the command string “adb install xxxxx.apk” from pc that will begin user’s APK software installation.
