To create a wireless configuration for a CEPC

  1. On PBHOST, open Platform Builder, and then complete the New Platform Wizard. The following list shows the choices to make in the New Platform Wizard:

    1. Choose the CEPC x86 BSP.
    2. Choose the Enterprise Web Pad configuration, and then type CETEST in the Platform name field.
    3. Ignore the Application and Media Wizard page on the New Platform Wizard.
    4. On the Networking & Communications page, under the Local Area Network (LAN) node, select the Wireless Local Area Network (802.11) and Wired Local Area Network features.
    5. Read the security warnings, and then choose Next.
    6. On the Completing the New Platform Wizard page, choose Finish.

  2. In the Workspace window of your platform, verify that the following features appear.

    Feature Environment variable Location in Catalog
    Wireless LAN (802.11) - Automatic configuration and 802.1x SYSGEN_ETH_80211 Communication Services and Networking\Networking - Local Area Network (LAN)
    Network Utilities (IpConfig, Ping, Route) SYSGEN_NETUTILS Communication Services and Networking\Networking Features
    Extensible Authentication Protocol SYSGEN_EAP Communication Services and Networking\Networking Features
    NTLM SYSGEN_AUTH_NTLM Security\Authentication Services (SSPI)
    Schannel (SSL/TLS) SYSGEN_AUTH_SCHANNEL Security\Authentication Services (SSPI)
    Windows Internet Services SYSGEN_WININET Internet Client Services\Internet Explorer 6.0 for Windows CE Components
    Cisco 802.11b PC Card SYSGEN_ETH_CISCO Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking (LAN) devices

    If one of these features is missing from the Workspace window, locate the feature in the Catalog and drag it to the Workspace window.

    For information about creating a new platform, see Creating a Platform.

  3. To copy the certificate enrollment tool, Enroll.exe, to your CEPC when you download the image, you must edit the Project.bib file in your platform configuration. The following list shows the changes to make:

    1. In the Workspace window, on the ParameterView tab, open the project-specific directory for your configuration.

    2. Add the following statement to the FILES section in the project.bib file:

      enroll.exe     $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\enroll.exe          NK

    Note   You can also edit the Project.bib file manually by navigating to the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\<Platform Name>\WINCE410\CEPC\Oak\Files directory in Windows Explorer, and opening the file from there. Be sure to save the file before you close it.

  4. To build the CEPCTEST platform, from the Build menu, choose Build Platform.

    The time required to build the operating system (OS) depends on the number of features included in the platform configuration. You can observe the build process on the Build tab and by looking at the status icon at the lower right of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

  5. Configure a connection from PBHOST to the CEPC. For more information about configuring this connection, see Configuring a Connection for Downloading and Debugging.

  6. If you have not previously created a Boot Floppy Disk for the CEPC, do so now. For more information, see Creating a Boot Floppy Disk for an x86 SDB.

  7. To download the OS image to the CEPC, from the Target menu, choose Download/Initialize.

    If the download does not start within a few minutes, restart the CEPC. After the download is complete, the user interface (UI) of the platform you just created appears on the CEPC.
