Version Tab and the Registry

Modify the Registry using the Registry Editor. Use caution when editing the Registry and make a backup copy of the
registry before changes are made.
The registry settings for the Version tab are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ LXE \ Version in the registry.
To add a user application to the Version panel, create a new string value under the HKLM\Software\LXE\Version key.
The string name should be the Application name to appear in the Version window. The data for the value should be the
version number to appear in the Version window.
Version strings can be equal to or less than 254 characters. Because the strings are displayed in a text box, any num-
ber can be accommodated, up to the 64K byte text box limitation.

Languages

The Software tab displays any languages built into the OS image. The languages built into the OS image are noted in
the Language section of this tab:
• English only – No additional languages are built into the OS
• Japanese
• Simplified Chinese
• Traditional Chinese
• Korean
The above listed Asian languages are ordered separately and built-in to the OS image. Built-in languages are added
to registry entries and are available immediately upon startup. Thai, Hebrew, Arabic and Cyrillic Russian languages
are available in the (English only) default (extended) fonts.

Identifying Software Versions

The Versions tab displays the versions of many of the software programs installed. Not all installed software is
included in this list and the list varies depending on the applications loaded on the HX3. The Image line displays the
revision of the system software installed. Refer to the last three digits to determine the revision level.

MAC Address

The Network IP tab displays the MAC address of the network card.
