6 Chapter 01: Getting StartedStep 5: Completing the Operating System InstallationWhen your system powers on for the first time, Windows will have a few questions for you to answer in order to localize your installation.NOTE: You’ll need a USB keyboard connected to your a7330T in order to answer some of the questions that require text input. You can use the on-screen keyboard with your a7330D in Active Digitizer mode.Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any of the questions you are unsure how to answer.Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch ScreenUnlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational activities on an Ultra-Mobile PC are completed using the stylus pen, or even your fingers if using the touch screen. The screen will react to the pen differently depending on whether you are using the Touch Screen mode or the Active Digitizer mode.Touch Screen modeNavigating with a touch screen is different from navigating with a mouse. The pen will interact with the computer whenever you touch it to the screen.Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen. Instead of sliding the pen around the screen, just tap on what you want to interact with. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In other words, you would be performing what is known as a drag operation.Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch, resting your hand on the screen while using the pen might make the pointer react unpredictably.TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead of the tip of the pen.
Chapter 01: Getting Started 7Tapping lightly on the screen will perform a standard left mouse button click. Holding the tip of the pen against the screen with-out moving it for about a second or so will perform a standard right mouse button click.Active Digitizer mode (a7330D only)The eo a7330D dual mode screen is auto-sensing. The screen will default to touch screen mode until is senses that the stylus pen is near the screen. Once the pen is close enough to the screen to be detected, the eo a7330 will automatically switch to digitizer mode.Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen. Place the tip of the stylus just above the screen and move it around. The pointer should follow the tip of the pen. In this mode your hand may rest on the screen, since this will not affect the behavior of the pointer.TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead of the tip of the pen.Tapping lightly on the screen with the tip of the stylus will perform a standard left mouse click. If you want to perform a right mouse click, press and hold down the tip of the stylus lightly on the screen. In a moment, an animated icon will draw around the pointer. Lift the stylus from the screen to complete the button press.NOTE: Animated cues, or floating tablet tips, will only appear in the Active Digitizer mode if your Sahara Slate PC is running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition or Windows Vista.
Chapter 02: Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC 9The eo a7330 Ultra-Mobile PC features a number of physical characteristics designed to help you work as efficiently as possible. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the controls and Input/ Output (I/O) ports on the faces and sides of the computer. Understanding the layout of the system will help you use your eo a7330 more efficiently while in the field or on-the-go.Chapter 02Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PCThe eo a7330T features a resistive touch screen,while the eo a7330D features an all new auto-switching, dual mode digitizer/touch screen by Wacom that is also sunlight viewable.

Chapter 02: Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC 114. Auto-Switching Dual Mode Screen (a7330D only)Screen mode is set to Touch Screen by default. When the stylus pen’s writing tip is within sensing distance—approxi-mately 12-15mm—the screen will automatically switch to Active Digitizer mode. When the pen’s writing tip is moved away from the screen, it will switch back to Touch Screen mode. When in Digitizer mode, the screen is not sensitive to touch (except by the stylus pen’s writing tip), and thus resting your hand on the screen while writing or navigating will have no influence on the pointer’s position.4. Passive Resistive Touch Screen (a7330T only) Touch Screen is responsive to touch by any object, as the screen’s sensors react purely to pressure, as opposed to a magnetic tip or electrical conduction. Resting your hand on the screen while writing or navigating may affect the pointer’s position.

20 Chapter 03: Battery Usage and CareTo calibrate the battery pack, follow these steps:1. Turn the computer off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge.2. Disconnect the AC adapter and power on the computer. Let the battery run down until it is so low that the battery charge light turns red and the system automatically enters the Suspend mode.3. Reconnect the AC adapter, let the battery fully recharge and then run the computer with the external power still con-nected for at least five (5) continuous hours.The battery pack should now be properly calibrated. If you find that battery life doesn’t correspond to the battery status as reported by your operating system, repeat steps 2 -3 again.If after performing a calibration for a second time you still find you are having a problem with the battery life, contact your dealer and arrange for a replacement. The battery may be defective.In general, using the battery until the “Battery Low” warning indicator appears and then fully recharging the battery (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accuracy of the battery status gauge.If you find you are using the computer almost exclusively attached to an external power source, calibrating at least once a month is recommended.Charging the Battery Under Typical ConditionsWhen you connect the computer to an electrical outlet, the Smart Battery IC in the battery pack checks the battery’s charge and temperature. If charging is necessary, the battery indicator on the front of the eo a7330 will glow amber and the AC adapter will automatically charge the battery.
Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 21When fully charged, the battery indicator will change to green and the battery’s charge will be maintained while connected to the external power source. When the computer is disconnected from the electrical outlet, the battery indicator will turn off.NOTE: The time to fully recharge the battery is approximately 90 ~ 100 minutes when the computer is powered off. The time to fully recharge the battery when the computer is in use varies according to the power requirements of the operations that the computer is performing while charging.Problems Charging the BatteryEnvironmental conditions can affect the ability of the computer to charge the battery. If the battery is too hot from either being used in your computer or being exposed to an overly hot environment, the battery may not charge when you connect the computer to an electrical outlet.If this occurs, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet and allow it and the battery to cool to room temperature. Then reconnect the computer to an electrical outlet to continue charging the battery. Battery StatusBoth Windows XP and Windows Vista have an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the computer is running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter. This applet also displays a meter that indicates approximately how much of a charge is remaining in the battery. Low Battery Warnings A beeping sound will be heard once to alert you to a “Battery Low” status. The Battery LED indicator will begin to flash red.When the battery’s power level drops to a “Battery Very Low” status the beeping sound will be heard every second.
22 Chapter 03: Battery Usage and CareWhen this continuous beeping occurs, your battery has only approximately one to two minutes of charge left. You should save what you are working on and plug in the AC power adapter to avoid potential data loss.When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the computer will suspend its current state to the hard drive and power off. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the computer back on to resume your work.About Battery Pack UsageOver time, even with proper care, battery performance (the time the battery can operate the computer before needing to be recharged) will decrease. Depending on how often the battery is used, how many times it has been charged and the conditions under which it is used, you may need to purchase a new battery during the life of your computer.IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, only use replacement batteries recom-mended by TabletKiosk. To prevent the loss of data when the system loses power, do not remove the main battery pack while the power is on unless attached to an external power source. If you must hot swap, both battery packs must be attached to the eo a7330, and we recom-mend putting the system into a sleep or hibernation state.NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your battery no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal or environmental agency for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion or Lithium Polymer battery.Real Time Clock BatteryIn order to maintain certain system information while the power is off, the motherboard contains a small built-in battery pack that constantly supplies power to the system. If the computer is left without a power source for long periods of time, this battery can be exhausted and system information will be lost. This will not affect any of your data stored on the computer’s hard drive, but rather the settings in the BIOS that tell the computer how to operate. It is recommended, therefore,
Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 23that if you plan to store the computer for a long time you periodically attach the battery pack, plug in the computer to an external power source and allow the battery to recharge.If you find out, after removing the computer from storage, that you have lost this system information, by receiving a BIOS error when you boot up for the first time, contact your dealer or visit TabletKiosk’s website at www.tabletkiosk.com to obtain the proper BIOS settings.Storing a BatteryWhen storing your computer for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you remove the battery pack and store it in a dry, cool location (Do not freeze). Also, we recommend storing the battery with a 40 - 50% charge.If you store the battery when it is fully discharged, it is possible that the battery could fall into a deeply discharged state. This can cause the battery to loose its ability to hold any charge at all. Conversely, storing a fully charged battery can cause damage to the storage cells rendering its total charge capacity to become prematurely diminished.Since a smart Lithium-Ion battery slowly discharges during prolonged storage, you should fully recharge the battery before you use it again. Additionally, you should consider periodically charging and discharging a battery in long term storage to promote optimal battery performance and life.TIP: If storing the batteries for a long period of time, we recommend charging and discharging the Lithium-Ion main battery every 1 - 2 months, while we recommend every 2 -3 months for the Lithium Polymer secondary battery. Remember to bring the charge level to approximately 40 - 50% capacity before replacing into storage.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 25While your eo a7330 Ultra-Mobile PC is a versatile, mobile com-puter capable of accomplishing all the same tasks as a netbook, and running most all the same applications as standard laptops and desktop PCs, there are some differences in the way that you interact with Windows using a stylus pen, or your fingers, as op-posed to a mouse and keyboard. This chapter contains tips and details to get the most from your eo a7330 while using Windows.Navigating with the Stylus PenWith an Ultra-Mobile PC, you use a stylus pen or your fingers in-stead of a mouse to interact directly with objects on your screen. You can open, move, edit and delete items — such as icons, files, windows and more — with easy-to-use basic functions similar to those performed with a mouse.Stylus Pen Action Equivalent Mouse ActionPoint PointTap ClickDouble-tap Double-clickPress and hold Right-clickDrag DragHold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen. Instead of sliding the pen around on the screen, just tap on what you want to interact with. In digitizer mode (a7330D only), moving the stylus pen’s tip just above the screen will cause the Chapter 04Using Your eo a7330 with Windows
26 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windowspointer to follow along similarly to how it behaves when moving a mouse. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In other words, you would be performing what is known as a drag operation.Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch, resting your hand on the screen while using the stylus pen might make the pointer react unpredictably. Actually, this is only true with the eo a7330T, as when using the stylus pen with an eo a7330D the screen will automatically switch to digitizer mode which is not touch sensitive except to the pen’s tip.It is also important to note that some of the context-sensitive features of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and Windows Vista, such as the floating Input panel icon, will only function when you are using the pen and your eo a7330D is in Active Digitizer mode.Touch Screen Settings and CalibrationWacom’s “Touch Settings” Control Panel allows you to custom-ize the way your touch screen behaves as well as calibrate the screen for more accurate input.1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “Control Panel” in the right hand column.2. From the Control Panel window, double-tap on the “Touch Settings” icon to open the control panel.Right-Click EmulationYou can enable and disable the “Right-Click” emulation by tapping the check box in the “Press-and-Hold-to-Right-Click” section, as well as set the duration that you must hold before a “Right-Click” is performed by adjusting the slider.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 27Touch Screen BehaviorThe following check boxes will alter the way that the touch screen behaves. These options have no affect on how the screen behaviors when in digitizer mode (a7330D only).Enable TouchThe “Enable Touch” check box allows you to enable and disable the touch screen.NOTE: a7330T owners should be careful, for if you disable the touch screen you will need to attach a keyboard or mouse in order to navigate and interact with your system. a7330D users can still use the digitizer. This essentially turns the a7330D into a pen only system.Hide CursorThe “Hide Cursor” check box will hide and show the mouse pointer when interacting with the touch screen. When this feature is enabled, the cursor will not be visible when in touch mode. This is handy for using your system as a button driven touch screen kiosk or controller.NOTE: a7330D users, when the proximity of the stylus pen’s tip auto-switches the screen to digitizer mode, the cursor will appear. Tap on the screen with something other than the pen’s tip to return to touch screen mode and re-hide the pointer.Touch SoundThe “Touch Sound” check box will enable an audible beep to be produced when the touch screen registers an input. This can be helpful for supplying kiosk customers or a remote controller user some feedback to let them know that their input was accepted (i.e. a button press was registered, etc.).
28 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with WindowsCalibrating the Touch ScreenTapping the “Calibrate...” button will initiate the system’s touch screen calibration routine. Simply follow the instructions that appear on screen and tap the center of the targets with your finger. When done, tap the “Finished” button to accept your calibration input and exit, tap “Try Again” to redo the calibration routine, or tap “Cancel” to quit without saving the new calibra-tion information.TIP: A quick way to access the both the Touch Screen and Digitizer (a7330D only) calibration routine is to use the “Pen” screen in the “Panel Control Center”. Simply press and hold on the icon in the system tray to bring up the “Launch Button Quickshow” menu. Tap the “Configure...” button to open the Panel Control Center and then tap the “Pen” button. Tap the “Configure...” button and choose the input screen to wish to calibrate.Digitizer Settings and Calibration (a7330D only)Wacom’s “Pen Tablet Properties” Control Panel allows you to customize the behavior of the Stylus Pen as well as calibrate the digitizer for more accurate input.1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “Control Panel” in the right hand column.2. From the Control Panel window, double-tap on the “Pen Tablet Properties” icon to open the control panel.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 29Pen TabThe options on this tab will adjust the behavior of how the pen interacts with the digitizer as well as how the pen itself will behave.Pen Button ActionThe button on the side of the stylus pen can be pro-grammed to perform a wide variety of tasks, including a stan-dard left-button click, a double-click, a right-click, opening the Tablet PC Input panels (see the section entitled “Entering Text with the Input Panels” later in this chapter), entering a keyboard keystroke combination, opening a program, and more.Pen Tip OptionsThe “Tip Feel” slider adjusts how much pressure you must apply to the screen to change the amount of input by the pen. This is primarily for applications that recognize different levels pressure sensitivity (i.e. the inking pen in Microsoft® OneNote™ or the paint brush tool in Adobe® Photoshop®).The “Double-Click Distance” slider adjusts how far apart you can perform two successive taps and still register a mouse “double-click” action.Enable EraserChecking this box will switch the options on this tab to support a stylus pen that has an eraser feature. The stylus that comes standard with the a7330D does not have such a feature.
30 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with WindowsClick SoundThis option is the same as the corresponding feature in the touch screen settings, except that it will cause the system to make an audible “clicking” sound when the pen’s tip touches the screen while in digitizer mode.Advanced SettingsTapping on the “Advanced” button opens the “Advanced Set-tings” window where you can specify how the pen’s side button will function.“Hover Click” mode means that in order to perform the action associated with the pen’s side button, all you have to do is hold the pen tip near enough to the screen to activate digitizer mode and then press the button.“Click & Tap” mode means that in order to perform the action associated with the pen’s side button, you must first press and hold down the button and then tap on the screen.Pop-Up Menu TabIn order to perform common actions more quickly and easily, you can use the controls on this tab to create a custom pop-up menu, filled with whatever entries you build from the drop-down of op-tions, that appears when you press the pen’s side button if you set the button’s action to “Pop-up”.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 31The sort of actions you can add to the pop-up menu includes keystroke combinations, opening specific applications, and changing the pen’s follow mode between “pen” and “mouse”.You can also choose the font face and the font size that will display in the pop-up menu.Calibrate TabThis is where you will find the digitizer’s calibration routine. Simply tap the “Calibrate...” button to start the calibra-tion. As with the touch screen, simply follow the on-screen instructions and tap in the center of each cross that appears on the screen. When finished, you can choose to save and exit the routine, or cancel and not save when you exit.The digitizer calibration is very similar to the touch screen calibration. Touch the center of the crosses when they appear.
32 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with WindowsWindows Tablet and Pen Settings Control PanelBesides the Wacom control panel, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition also features its own control panel.To access the “Tablet and Pen Settings” control panel:1. Tap on the START button to open the START Menu.2. Tap on the “Control Panel” and then in the Control Panel window that opens, tap on the “Printers and Other Hard-ware” category.3. From the “Printers and Other Hardware” window, look under “or pick a Control Panel icon” for “Tablet and Pen Settings” and tap to open the control panel.This control panel will allow you to set your handedness, where menus open, the default screen rotation, what mouse actions occur with different pen actions and more. You can tap on the “Help” button for more information on each of the individual features in the panel.Another important feature of the “Tablet and Pen Settings” control panel can be found on the “Settings” tab: it is the Digitizer Screen Calibra-tor. For improved accuracy, you can independently calibrate the digitizer screen for both landscape and portrait orientations. Choose the orientation from the drop down list and then tap on the “Calibrate…” button to start the calibration routine. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration. This is the same routine as from Wacom’s “Pen Tablet Properties” Control Panel.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 33Programming the Function ButtonsYour eo a7330 has three user-programmable function buttons located on the right side of the eo. You can use the “Launch Button” screen in the “Panel Control Center” to reprogram the buttons to activate a different preprogrammed task, or to launch a “Custom” application of your choice.To program a function button:1. Press and hold on the icon in the System Tray to open the “Launch Button Quickshow” panel that will give you a summary overview of the functions mapped to each of the buttons along with any custom parameters.2. Tap the “Configure...” button to open the Panel Control Center. By default, the “Launch Button” screen will be displayed.3. Choose the button you wish to program and then tap the appropriate “Change” button.4. On the screen that appears, choose either to open an application, document or web-page; or to pick from a list of pre-defined functions. Then tap the “Next” button.
34 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with WindowsOpening an Application, Document or Web Page5. Using the option buttons, choose the appropriate file type you’d like to open.6. Go down to the “File” field— or “URL” field if you chose to open a web page—and either type in the exact path to the file/program or tap the “Browse...” button and navigate to it. You will have to enter the exact URL if you chose to open a web page as no “Browse...” button is available. You can, however, copy & paste a URL from your web browse.7. Enter any program arguments, if applicable, and tap the “Finish” button to commit the change to the button’s func-tion and return to the “Launch Button” screen.Assigning a Pre-Defined Function5. Using the drop-down list box, choose the pre-defined function you’d like to assign to the button.NOTE: The first option in the list box, “menu”, refers to opening context sensitive menus. In other words this is equivalent to performing a right-click action.6. When you are satisfied with your selection, tap on the “Fin-ish” button to commit the change to the button’s function and return to the “Launch Button” screen.If at any point you wish to restore the all the buttons to their original programmed state, simply enter the “Launch Button” screen and tap on the “Default” button.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 35Setting the Screen BrightnessThe “Brightness” applet, accessible by simply tapping on the p icon in the System Tray, allows you to set an overall brightness level for the display screen. Simply drag the slider down to dim the display or up to brighten the display. This control is independent from the sliders in the Intel Media Accelerator Driver control applet.Changing Screen Resolution, Color and RotationUsing the control panel of the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver, you can enable multi-monitor support, adjust color bal-ance and gamma, change the screen resolution, enable/ disable screen rotation and more. This section will get you started with the control panel. For more detailed information about the panel’s features, click on the question mark icon located on the right-hand side of the panel’s title bar.To access the control panel of the Intel Media Accelerator Driver, tap on the screen icon located in the Windows system tray. When the pop-up menu appears, tap on “Graphics Properties…” to open the panel.Display SettingsThe Display Settings tab holds the controls that affect color depth, screen resolution and screen rotation. Most of the time you will probably want to use the default values, but you may encounter specialized applications where it is advantageous to lower the screen’s resolution or disable the screen rotation function.Display ExpansionBy default, the native resolution of the eo a7330’s screen is 1024x600 (16:9 wide screen aspect ratio). The other three screen resolutions you can change to (640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768) are standard 4:3 aspect ratios. The “Aspect Ratio Options” panel
36 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windowsallows you to control how these non-native screen resolutions will resolve on your display (i.e. stretched or pillar boxed).Color CorrectionThe Color Correction tab is where you will find the controls that affect the color balance, brightness and contrast of the display screen. Use the control sliders to adjust the screen values. Moving a slider to the left decreases the corresponding value, moving a slider to the right increases it.By using the color channel option buttons at the top of the panel, you can change the RGB color values equally or individu-
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 37ally. The Gamma control will adjust the screen’s brightness without affecting the white point or the black point of the display.Tap on the “Restore Defaults” button to return the control settings to their default values. This is useful if you are experi-menting with the sliders and are unhappy with the results, or if you decide to make additional changes at a later time and want to discard your previously-applied settings. Tap on the “Apply” button to accept your changes, the “Cancel” button to reject the changes, or the “OK” button to accept the changes and exit the control panel.Entering Text with the Input PanelsComplementing Microsoft’s Digital Inking handwriting recogni-tion technology, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition features input pads that accept and convert handwriting to text, as well as provide a more compact and convenient on-screen keyboard.Tap the “Keyboard” icon located next to the START button on the Windows Taskbar to display the on-screen keyboard and writing pads. These input tools allow you to enter information directly into any application that accepts standard keyboard inputs.Writing PadThis pad allows you to enter text on a word-by-word basis. You write on the lines inside the writing pad just as you would write on a lined piece of notepaper. When you reach the end of the line, the pad will expand automatically so you can keep on writing without having to stop. Windows will convert your handwriting into text, on the fly, and then insert it in the appro-priate location when you tap “Insert”.
38 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with WindowsCharacter PadThis pad accepts input on a character-by-character basis and is useful for entering information that requires a higher level of precision, such as passwords, website URLs or e-mail addresses. When you reach the end of the line, the pad will expand auto-matically so you can keep on writing without having to stop. Windows will convert your handwriting into text, on the fly, and then insert it in the appropriate location when you tap “Insert”.On-Screen KeyboardUse it the same way that you would use a standard keyboard. By tapping on the individual keys with the stylus, text and symbols can be entered as well as Function Key equivalents and menu item short cuts.Tap the <Num> or <Sym> keys to display the “Numeric” and “Symbol” keypads respectively. Tap <Func> to bring up the Function keypad.Tap on the gear icon, on any of the input panels, to display a menu that you can use to invoke Windows XP Tablet PC Edition’s speech recognition capabilities, adjust where you want the input panels to appear on the screen, undock the panel to move it anywhere on the screen, or open the panels’ “Options” menu.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 414. If the wireless network you are attempting to connect to is security-enabled, you will see a dialog box requesting either a network key or, if the wireless network supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), a PIN.Most failures to connect to a wireless network occur because the network key has been improperly entered. Be very careful when entering this key. If you do not know the correct key to enter, or still can’t connect after entering the key properly, contact your network administrator or the technical support line of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).NOTE: If your network access point or router uses WiFi Protected Set-up, the WPS Wizard will appear on the screen. Choose your access point from the drop-down list, enter your PIN when prompted. Unless you need to configure your access point/router for the first time, just tap on the “No” button when asked. If you entered your PIN properly, you should see the same pop-up window informing you that you are connected. Check with your Network Administrator or the instructions that came with your access point/router for locating the PIN.
42 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with WindowsUsing a Wired LANAnother way to connect to the Internet with your eo a7330 is by a wired LAN environment accessed via the RJ45 port located on the left side of the a7330 (see the chapter Touring Your eo a7330 for the exact location). Using this method, an Ethernet jack or a broadband modem must be within the reach of the networking cable you are using. 1. Connect an Ethernet networking cable into the LAN port of your eo a7330 and then connect the other end into your broadband modem or the appropriate LAN port as in-structed by your network administrator. Most of the time, you will probably find that you are now connected to the Internet. If not, continue on with step 2.2. From the START menu, select “Connect To” and tap on “Show all connections”.3. In the “Network Connections” window, look at the “Local Area Connection” item and make sure it reads as “Connect-ed”. If not, recheck that your networking cable is properly connected, or contact your network administrator.4. Press and hold the “Local Area Connection” item and select “Properties” from the pop-up menu that appears, or if the Status window appears, tap the “Properties” button.5. Under the General Tab, you’ll see a list box called “This connection uses the following items:”. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, and tap the “Proper-ties” button to open the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 436. If DHCP is used on yournetwork, tap “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”. Otherwise, enter the correct IP and DNS server addresses by selecting the two options that begin with “Use the following…” If you are unsure of which option to use, contact your network administrator or your ISP’s Tech Support.7. After entering the correct the information in the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window, tap “OK” to accept your changes and close the window. Tap “OK” in the “Local Area Connection Properties” window to finish.Using Both DHCP and a Static IP AddressIf you are using alternating networks with either DHCP or static IP addressing, you can use alternative settings that will enable simultaneous configurations of both DHCP and a static IP. This will allow you to connect to both of the networks without having to reconfigure each time you want to switch.1. Follow steps 1 through 7 above when using a wired LAN connection.2. Tap on the “Alternate Configuration” tab and select the “User configured” option. Enter the correct values in the appropriate fields. If you are unsure of which values or options to use,

Leave this unchecked if you want only your user account to be able to connect to the Bluetooth device. 7. Your device should now be connected to your eo a7330. If any advanced settings are required, you will be prompted to enter them. When complete, you should be returned to the Bluetooth application screen and your device should be listed.If you have trouble connecting, make sure you completed the above steps in the time period that your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode. If your device exits pairing mode before you can connect, re-enable it and, depending on the state of the connec-tion process, redo any applicable steps.NOTE: Once a device has been registered, you usually won’t need to register it again. You will, however, have to pair it. When you see this window upon system start-up, just place your device into pairing mode and it should connect automatically. If you do not wish to automatically connect a Bluetooth device at start-up, you can check the “Don’t show this windows next time” check box and tap the “Cancel” button.For more information about configuring and using the Bluetooth application, check out the online help system by either tapping on your keyboard or choosing “Help” from the Bluetooth application menu.

Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 49Chapter 05Securing Your eo a7330Your eo a7330 is equipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that, when used in conjunction with specialized software, can help you better secure your data from intruders.Used in conjunction with specialized security management software, a TPM offers facilities for generating cryptographic keys—as well as the ability to limit the use of such keys for authentication or encryption/decryption— and also random numbers. Typical use for such encryption would be to prevent unauthorized access to the data stored on your hard drive.The TPM can also be used to authenticate a specific hardware device for use in platform authentication. For example, the TPM can be used to verify the authenticity of a specific hardware system for secured access.This chapter will get you started by enabling the TPM for use with your security software management system.BIOS SettingsTo take advantage of the enhanced security features of the Trusted Computing Platform, you must first enable it in the tablet’s BIOS.IMPORTANT: A USB keyboard must be attached to the eo a7330T prior to powering on the system in order to enter and navigate the a7330’s BIOS. The a7330D does not require a keyboard.
50 Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a73301. Power on or restart the eo a7330. As soon as the TabletKiosk logo screen appears, tap on the screen with the stylus pen (a7330D only) or hit the key on the keyboard to bring up the SecureCore System Menu. From the menu, choose “Launch System Setup” to enter the BIOS.NOTE: Alternatively, you can also press the third function button on the right side of the tablet when you see the TabletKiosk logo screen to open the SecureCore menu.2. When the BIOS Menu appears, tap on “Security” or press the right arrow key on the keyboard to open to the menu screen.3. If the TPM Support setting is set to “Disabled”, either tap on it, or use the down arrow key to highlight the “TPM Support” option and press to change it to “Enabled”.4. Tap on “TPM State” at the top of the screen, or hit the right arrow key on your keyboard to enter the menu screen.5. If the Current TPM State reads “Disabled and Deactivated”, tap on the “Change TPM State” option, or press , until it changes to “Enable & Activate”.6. Tap on the “Exit” menu item at the top of the screen and tap on “Exit Saving Changes” or just press the key to save changes to the BIOS and restart the computer.NOTE: If at any point you wish to clear the TPM module’s information and return the eo a7330 to its original “unowned” state, go back to the “TPM State” menu and tap on the “Change TPM State” option or press until it reads “Clear”. When you save changes and exit the BIOS the TPM will be cleared.VERY IMPORTANT: If you lose your password and decide to clear the TPM, know that you will forever lose access to any data on the hard drive that is encrypted using the TPM’s current encryption key. Make sure that any data you wish to access in the future has been backed up in an unencrypted form before clearing the TPM. Also, if you decide to disable and deactivate the TPM, you will lose access to any data currently encypted by the TPM until you reactivate it.Creating a Windows Login PasswordIf you didn’t choose to do so during the initial setup procedure, the first step in securing your sensitive information is creating a Windows login password.
Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 51Creating the Password In Windows XP1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “Control Panel”.2. In the Control Panel window that appears, tap on “User Accounts” under “Pick a category”.3. Look under “or pick an account to change” and select your user account by tapping on it.4. Tap on “Create a password”. Enter a password and then confirm it. Enter a password hint if you wish and then tap on “Create Password” to accept your password.Creating the Password In Windows Vista1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “Control Panel”.2. In the Control Panel window that appears, tap on the “User Accounts” category title.3. Under the User Accounts category, tap on “Change your Windows password”.4. From the “Make changes to your user account” screen, tap on “Create a password for your account”.Tap on “Create a Password” to enter a new password. This is an important step in securing your data.Make sure to keep your password in a safe location and do not lose it.
52 Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a73305. Tap on the text input field labeled “New Password” in the window that opens and then enter a password of your choice. Tap in the “Confirm new password” field and enter it again exactly the same way. You may enter a hint in the “Type a password hint” if you so choose.6. Tap the “Create password” button when you are satisfied with your password choice to commit the change. It’s important when setting up a user account to manage the security settings on the tablet that the user account be granted administrator privileges. A standard user can still take advantage of the protections provided by the TPM, just not mange it.Contact your IT support staff for more information on user privileges and how to assign them.Setting Ownership of the TPMAfter initializing the TPM functionality in the BIOS, the next step to securing your eo a7330 is to establish yourself as the tablet’s owner. Make sure to keep your password in a safe location and do not lose it.
Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 53IMPORTANT: Once you have set ownership of the TPM, it is vital that you store your password in a secure location and take care never to lose it. If you do, you will not be able to access the data you protected/encrypted using your security management software.Windows XP ProfessionalAs Windows XP lacks native support for TPM management, you will need to acquire a third party TPM security management application to take advantage of its capabilities.Install and configure the TPM security management software package of your choice and then refer to the user manual that accompanied the software for information on how to accom-plish this important task.Windows VistaTo set ownership of the TPM:NOTE: To perform the following procedure, you must be logged on to your eo a7330 with administrator privileges. 1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “All Programs > Acces-sories > Run” to open the “Run” dialog box.2. In the “Open” field, enter “tpm.msc” (without the quotes) and tap “OK” to open the TPM Management Console (TPM MC). Tap to proceed if the Windows UA prompt appears.The TPM Management Console is where you initialize the TPM to set the ownership, turn on and off the TPM as well as clear the TPM.
54 Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330If you followed the steps in the BIOS Settings section earlier in this chapter, the TPM MC should show the status of the TPM as “on” but “not owned”. If the TMP MC shows that you don’t have a compatible TPM or that it is not on, you either skipped the steps above or didn’t successfully save the settings in the BIOS.3. In the “Actions” column on the right side panel of the TPM MC, tap on “Initialize TPM...”.4. On the “Create the TPM owner password” page, tap “Automati-cally create the password (recommended)” to have Windows generate your password automatically, or “Manually create the password” to input your own.5. After your password has been created or entered, tap “Save the password” to save a .tpm password file you can use to make changes to the TPM settings in the future.6. In the “Save As” dialog box, select a location to save the password, and then tap “Save”. The password file is saved as computer_name.tpm.IMPORTANT: It is highly recommend that you save the TPM owner password to removable media.
Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 557. Click “Print the password” if you want to print a hard copy of your password.IMPORTANT: It is highly recommend that you print a hard copy of your TPM owner password and store it in a safe location.8. Click “Initialize” to confirm and set the ownership.NOTE: The process of initial-izing the TPM might take a few minutes to complete, so be patient. You will be informed when the process is complete.9. Click “Close” to return back to the TPM MC main screen.CAUTION: Do not lose your password. If you do, you will be unable to make changes to your TPM that require the owner password unless you first clear the TPM. Once cleared, all data protected by the original password will become unavailable.To learn more about using the TPM, including turning off the TPM and clearing the TPM, see the Help articles in the “Links & Resources” section at the bottom of the main pane of the TPM Management Console.
