By default, the device can be started using the capacitive button on the front side of the device. To do so, the button must be pressed and held for at least 1 s, depending on the configuration in the Configuration Center:

The button has a blue-grey LED and indicates the following states: – LED lights up grey: Device is being supplied with power but is switched off. – LED lights up blue: Device is on. – LED flashes blue-grey: Device is in an energy- saving state.
This button can be activated and deactivated in the Configuration Center.
Alternatively, the device starts when the power supply is switched on. For this to happen, the “Autostart” function must have been enabled in the Configuration Center (see the following section).

6.3 Configuring the device
After start-up there is an icon on the Windows Desktop that can be used to call up the ADS-TEC Configuration Center.
Important: To be able to configure settings, you will need to start the Configuration Center with administrator rights (right-click with mouse and select “Run as administrator” from the context menu).

The Configuration Center can be used to make a number of settings, e.g.: – Behaviour of the ON/OFF pushbutton – Disabling of the USB interfaces – Write- protection of the mass storage or parts of it – Configuring a soft keyboard – Enabling or disabling radio modules (= wireless devices) – Many other modules that are already available or in preparation

6.4 Operating multiple monitors on an MES9000
6.4.1 Number
Up to three monitors can be operated in parallel: – the integrated display of the MES9000, – a full HD monitor on the DP connection of the MES9000, – a full HD monitor via HDBaseT.
Tip: Using the X-Remote® software from ADS-TEC, you can clone a desktop to up to 8 computers and, thanks to clearly regulated access rights, operate it alternately from each of the computers.

6.4.2 Windows display settings
Possible display arrangements when using the “Display settings” integrated in Windows: a) Extend the desktop to all three displays (no cloning). b) Duplicate the desktop on 1 and 2 (desktop clone); have monitor 3 as an extended desktop. c) Duplicate the desktop on 1 and 3 (desktop clone); have monitor 2 as an extended desktop.
Notes: – Open the Windows display settings via:
Desktop -> right mouse-key -> Display settings – The settings on the “Display settings” page always relate to the monitor(s) selected above.

– You can adjust the arrangement of the monitors to meet your requirements by dragging and dropping.

– To switch from one clone mode to the other (b->c or c->b), you must first switch to the display extended across three monitors.

6.4.3 Screen resolution on cloned displays
When clones are created, the operating system automatically uses the lowest common value for the screen resolution.

Recommendation for use: For connection in parallel, only use full HD monitors with 1920 x 1080 px.

6.4.4 Displaying a start screen
Regarding the display of a boot screen, the following applies: · Aside from on the integrated screen, a boot screen is only shown on monitors that are connected via DisplayPort.
Regarding the display of the login screen, the following applies: · The login screen is only displayed on the integrated display of the MES9000 and on other monitors that have been configured as clones. · Monitors that are configured as an extended desktop are supplied with a picture signal by the operating system only once you have logged in successfully.

7 Features (some optional)
7.1 DisplayPortTM
The devices have a DisplayPort connection in version DisplayPort++TM (1.2) as standard for data transmission to a monitor.

7.2 HDBaseTTM

With HDBaseTTM, the connection between the computer and monitor is established using a LAN cable with RJ45 plugs. The distances that can be bridged depend on the network infrastructure used:
· with a CAT6a patch cable without sockets etc.: max. 70 m · with a Cat. 7 or 7a LAN installation cable + sockets + two 1 m patch cables: max. 100 m
Status indicators of the transmitter module The two LEDs in the connector indicate various system states:

HDCP HDBT

LED signal Flashing red Illuminates red On Off

Action No active encryption Encryption active Connection present No connection present

HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection; HDBT = HDBaseTTM

7.3 Big-LinX® (IoT platform)
Big-LinX is a versatile and scalable platform for different IoT applications.
· To establish a connection to the Big-LinX cloud, insert the Big-LinX smart card into the slot labelled SIM. To pull the drawer out: press the yellow button with a ballpoint pen or the like.

7.4 RAID system
The device supports two separate SSD mass storage devices that can be used together with the help of RAID technology (RAID = redundant array of independent disks).
To use this function, two type M.2 2242 Key M SSD cards with a SATA interface are required. NVMe cards with a PCIe interface cannot be used.
Supported options:
· RAID level 0 striping: this RAID variant is recommended when a large data storage system with high data access speeds is required. Since the data are not stored redundantly, this level is only recommended if data loss will not result in serious consequences, e.g. because the data can be recovered easily if a storage medium fails.
· RAID level 1 mirroring: both mass storage devices redundantly store the same data in this case. If a mass storage device fails, usually no data is lost and the defective mass storage device can easily be replaced. The total storage size corresponds to the smallest of the individual storage devices used.

The desired RAID level must be specified when placing the order.

7.5 WLAN/Wi-Fi
This optional function uses the resources provided by the respective operating system and an internal antenna.
7.6 BluetoothTM
Devices with WLAN also have Bluetooth, which allows e.g. the connection of a mouse or headphones. This function uses the resources provided by the respective operating system and an internal antenna.

Configuration of the “WhlHsUart” driver
As of 12/2021, the following IOCTLs are implemented in the driver for the RS232 interface:
– IOCTL_UARTTESTTOOL_OPEN – IOCTL_UARTTESTTOOL_CLOSE – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_BAUD_RATE – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_BAUD_RATE – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_MODEM_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_MODEM_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_LINE_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_LINE_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_CHARS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_CHARS – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_HANDFLOW – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_HANDFLOW – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_MODEMSTATUS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_DTRRTS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_MODEMSTATUS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_COMMSTATUS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_PROPERTIES – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_FIFO_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_STATS – IOCTL_SERIAL_CLEAR_STATS – IOCTL_SERIAL_PURGE – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_TIMEOUTS
As the IOCTLs IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_WAIT_MASK and IOCTLSERIAL WAIT_MASK have not been implemented in this version of the driver, it does not generate events such as RXCHAR, RXFLAG, TXEMPTY, CTS, DSR, RLSD, BREAK, ERR, RING, PERR. For this reason, user programs should not wait for events; instead, they should poll the data via read operations.
Detailed instructions for the driver “WhlHsUart” can be requested from ADS-TEC support.

8 Software / driver installation
8.1 Initial installation of the operating system
The devices are delivered with a pre-installed operating system depending on the client’s specifications. If the mass storage has been reformatted, the operating system can be reinstalled by using one of the existing interfaces (alternatively via USB or PXE). The files required for this (image, driver and firmware), along with a detailed description of the procedure, can be obtained from ADS-TEC support on request.
8.2 Write protection
If the mass storage or parts of it have been write-protected in the Configuration Center, this write protection must be removed again before changes are made to the software installation. Unified Write Filter After the software installation has been changed, the write protection must be set again and the device restarted.
8.3 Installing Hilscher netJACK modules at a later date
If these modules are installed at a later date, a driver must be installed and can be found in the following directory: C:DriversFieldbusHilscher From there, start the cifX Device Driver Setup. After successful installation, the device will appear in the device manager as cifX Communication Interface.

9 Cleaning
Clean the device using some glass cleaner on a soft cloth.
