Rugged SIB Hardware Manual (2.6 MB)

 

The EMAC XP Server-In-a-Box (SIB) provides an embedded server that is capable of running virtually any Windows XP application program. Windows XP Embedded is the componentized version of the leading desktop operating system, enabling rapid development of the most reliable and full-featured connected devices. Based on the same binaries as Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded enables embedded developers to individually select only the rich features they need for customized, reduced-footprint embedded devices. This operating system is very well suited for applications requiring a Graphic User Interface (GUI).

The Rugged SIB is specially designed to live in harsh environments. No Fans, no Hard Drive, and a completely sealed case (with exception of Compact Flash access) allows the Rugged SIB to survive where other computers can't. The Rugged SIB is just as comfortable in a basement wiring closet as it is on a desktop.

Window XP Embedded

IIS 5.1

The web server is running Microsoft Internet Information Server IIS, which provides HTTP and FTP services that use Windows® XP usernames and passwords for authentication. This adds security and ease of user control.

IIS FTP Server

The FTP Server allows files to be copied to and from the SIB on a TCP/IP network. This component integrates with IIS, enabling the user to transfer files using a standard web browser.

Integrated Security

The robust security architecture of Windows XP professional Service pack 2 is used consistently across all system components, with authentication tied to controlled access to all system resources. IIS integrates into the Windows security model and operating system services such as the file system and directory. Because IIS uses the Windows user database, administrators do not need to create separate user accounts on every Web server, and Intranet users need only to log on to their network once. IIS automatically uses the same file and group permissions as the existing file, print, and application servers.

Advanced Write Filter (EWF)

The EWF provides a means for protecting a disk volume from disk writes. EWF allows the operating system to boot from read-only media and all writes to the EWF protected volume are redirected to an overlay. Any subsequent reads of the data will be read from the overlay. The EWFMGR utility can be used to commit changes to a protected volume. This is extremely useful for protecting an embedded disk from corruption.

First Boot Agent & The Cloning Component

One of the headaches associated with deploying desktop XP is the Licensing and SID registration. This process makes the use of a "Golden Drive" difficult if not impossible. With the use of First Boot Agent and the Cloning Component a "Golden Drive" can be created a replicated as many times as required with no special setup or registration required.

Easy To Manage

Permissions to control access files and directories can be set graphically, because IIS uses the same Windows Access Control Lists (ACLs) as all other Windows services, such as file sharing or Microsoft SQL ServerTM permissions. Permissions for the Web server are not separate from other file services, so the same files can be securely accessed over other protocols, such as FTP, CIFS/SMB, or NFS without duplicating administration.

Telnet Server

The SIB includes a standard TELNET Server which will allow remote TELNET (command prompt) access over a LAN or the Internet. Once simple network configuration has been performed, you may telnet to your SIB from any computer which has network access to the SIB.

Terminal Server Remote Desktop

The SIB Comes with Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop provides remote access to the desktop of the SIB. The SIB will prompt for a user name and password. When connected, the access machine will have a window which displays the desktop of the SIB and allows you to perform operations as if you where at the SIB's console. Using System Management Server (SMS) allows the management of the SIB across a wide Enterprise network. An administrator at one desk can manage all the systems across a single interface.

Device Update Agent

The Device Update Agent (DUA) provides an incremental update service to update a deployed SIB's XPE image with the latest application, drivers, and QFEs. Also Software Update Services (SUS) provides a complete servicing solution for the distribution of XP Security updates.

Windows Scheduler

The SIB comes with the standard Windows scheduler. This is a program that runs in the background, executing specified commands at specified times. Programs can be executable binaries or shell scripts.

Users

The SIB comes setup to auto login as the Administrator. Other users can be added as requested.

Event Log

The Event Log is a DLL library that runs as part of Services.exe. It stores and retrieves Security, System, and Application events that can be viewed by an event viewer.

Custom Components

EMAC can optionally add any XPE component you require additionally we can provide XPE builds to suite the application need. For example we can prohibit <right click> Properties capability of the Desktop.
