1Introduction
You will find in this document the minimal information required to set-up a working X5 sample
system.
These notes are not a replacement for the X5 User Manual and JMobile User Manual.
X5 is based on Linux BSP version 1.3.xxx.
Products based on BSP 1.3.xxx must be programmed with JMobile version 4.1.0.xxx or higher.
These products are NOT compatible with earlier versions of JMobile.

2Security Features
This platform comes built-in security features.
The system now requires that you are logged-in to do any action with the BSP.
Products are configured at manufacturing time with two users:
admin
user
Each user has own password to validate the access.
At first power-up the system will require users to choose a new password replacing the default one.
The message you will see is:
Authentication/Users
Default password detected –please choose a more secure one. NOTE: system will reboot upon
completion.
At Exor we have established the following conventions for passwords in use internally purely for
testing purposes:
User: admin
Password: Exor123@
User: user
Password: Exor123@
If you are receiving a device that has been pre-programmed at Exor, these are the credentials we
have entered.
Access the system as “admin” whenever you need to change any property in System Settings.
Please note that without authenticating as a valid user you cannot even access System Settings or
Start-up in your X5 devices.
When entering passwords for the first time you will not be required to enter the old (default)
password.
You can change BSP passwords at later time; use the option “Authentication” in System Settings for
this. Remind that in this case you will have to enter the old password to be able to change to a new
one.

3System Configuration Examples
3.1 Client/Server Configuration (JMobile Client on Handheld)
Benefits:
-complex PLC communication protocols are not using wireless band
-in case of configurations with multiple base stations and a single handheld, the handheld is
automatically loading the HMI program when connecting to the Base Station
-JMobile application running on Base Station can continue operation and data acquisition also
when the handheld is not connected
Weaknesses:
-depending on JMobile project complexity, Client/Server connection may take some time

3.2 JMobile Runtime on Handheld
Benefits:
-Fast starting of JMobile application on handheld
Weaknesses:
-extra band load on wireless network. Performance to be evaluated
-PLC protocol requires routing. Performance to be evaluated.

4Product Reference Information
4.1 Keypad Shortcuts in X5 Handheld
F2 and F5
Keep pressed for about 2 seconds
Switch on/Switch off handheld

Start safety pairing application
4.2 Pressing Multiple Keys in X5 Handheld
Keypad handler in X5 handheld supports a maximum of 2 keys pressed at the same time.
If more than 2 keys are pressed at the same time, the handler will return a no-key pressed status.
Only available with BSP version 1.3.291 or higher
4.3 Simplified Wiring Diagram
Simple monitor board for test purposes.

5Device Publisher
Device Publisher software application has been designed to ensure fast transfer of device data from
handheld directly to the PLC/controller connected to the Base Station. This is an important
requirement for applications where X5 is used for direct interaction with machines.
Device Publisher uses Modbus TCP protocol in UDP mode and operates as client.
Data transfer is bases on Modbus Function Code 16, Write multiple registers.
Addressing and register allocation is fixed.
Device Publisher send cyclically data packets with a cycle time of about 10 ms.
