DeviceConfig
Overview
DeviceConfig consists of the DeviceConfig.exe and the DeviceConfig.exm file located in the \IPSM
folder. DeviceConfig.exe looks for and applies the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file.

DeviceConfig.exm File

The DeviceConfig.exm file contains terminal configuration settings. Because this file is stored in the
\IPSM folder, its configuration settings persist through cold boots and should be considered system
defaults.
Enabling DeviceConfig Functionality
By default, all sections except the About Section (see page 3-9) are disabled, which means that the key
values are not applied to the terminal. To use the DeviceConfig.exm file to configure the terminal, enable
the sections and keys required by your configuration in EZConfig Editor (page 2-2) on the workstation or
EZConfig Editor on the Terminal (page 2-30).
Autorun
Autorun (see page 4-1) launches DeviceConfig.exe, which applies the DeviceConfig.exm settings, then
launches a cold boot followed by a warm boot.
Bar Code Delivery
When the DeviceConfig.exm file is delivered to the terminal via bar code, EZConfig Client launches
DeviceConfig.exe automatically after decoding. DeviceConfig.exe then applies the settings in
theDeviceConfig.exm file in the terminal. For more information, see Creating Bar Codes (page 2-21) and
EZConfig Client (page 2-34).
The DeviceConfig.exm file must be associated with DeviceConfig.exe for EZConfig Client to launch
DeviceConfig.exe after decoding the bar code. In EZConfig Editor, the associated application path must
be
\IPSM\deviceconfig.exe
For more information, see Associating Applications, page 2-16.

Settings in the WLAN Supplicant

Many settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file match the settings in the WLAN Supplicant on the terminal
that allow the user to enter and save the same values. If a user changes a setting in the WLAN Supplicant,
that setting is applied but stored in RAM memory and erased during the next cold boot. During the next
cold boot, Autorun launches DeviceConfig, which then re-applies the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm
file.
