Chapter 3 QuickPanel+ Software
Chapter 3. QuickPanel+ Software
This chapter provides introductory information on the QuickPanel+ software with procedures
for completing some of the most common tasks you will encounter.
3.1 Operating System
Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 is the operating system for the QuickPanel+. It is a
full 32-bit O/S with a graphical user interface.
The QuickPanel+ operating system is stored in flash memory and copied to a block of DRAM
for execution. The operating system starts automatically following a power-up or reset of the
QuickPanel+.
For detailed information about using the operating system, refer to
http://windows.microsoft.com.
3.2 Backup Utility
Backup saves changes that you make to the Windows Registry or Desktop to Flash memory.
This utility is required because the QuickPanel+ is not battery powered. Specifically, Backup
does the following:
■Stores the Windows Embedded Compact 7 registry (including any control panel
settings) in Flash memory.
■Stores any changes (or additions) made to the ‘\Windows’ subtree of the file system
in the user block of flash memory.
Run Backup whenever you make configuration changes to the operating system or
installed applications, and before shutting down the QuickPanel+.
3.3 Storage Manager
Use Storage Manager to repair or format lost or corrupted data volumes. Storage Manager
can repair data volumes existing either in SD Card, battery-backed SRAM (BBSRAM), or
USB Flash Keys (thumb drives). Data volumes existing in the main flash file system of the
QuickPanel+ may not be repaired by Storage Manager.
Storage Manager, accessed from the Control Panel folder, is a Microsoft product for which
on-line help is available.

utility can detect this situation and will notify you to stop the
runtimes before making the backup. You will not be able to
create a backup while the runtimes are writing files.
3.5 Updating a Machine Edition Project
You can update a Machine Edition application currently stored on the QuickPanel+ with a
revision stored on a flash device, such as a SD card.
1. Insert the flash device containing an upgraded version of the Machine Edition project into
the appropriate port.
2. Reboot the machine
See the settings section below, as depending on options set, the update may or may not
be enabled, or may automatically update. If there is more than one flash device with a
valid project copy present, a Select Media confirmation dialog will appear allowing you to
choose which flash device to update with. Select the device from the list and select OK to
continue. When a valid project is found on the flash device, you will be prompted to install
the project or skip it. Tap OK to install or Cancel to skip the install and continue to boot. If
an invalid project is found, an error message appears in a dialog box. This dialog box
must be closed before boot will continue.
3. Remove the flash device from the port.

GFK-2847 QuickPanel+ User’s Manual–November 2013 17
3.6 FTP Server
The FTP Server included with the QuickPanel+ supports standard (RFC 959). It does not
support SFTP or implicit FTPS, which uses different ports and is based on SSH rather than
SSL.
The configuration of the FTP server is accomplished with the Quick Panel+ Setup Tool. By
default, the server is not enabled. Once enabled, a background program will run, waiting for
clients to connect. Up to ten connections are supported. Sessions that are idle for five
minutes are terminated by the server.
The Server supports:
■Non-secure operation. All information including username, password, and data is
transmitted with no encryption and susceptible to packet sniffing and various FTP
attacks.
Note: If the server status is changed, the QuickPanel+ must be re-booted before changes
take effect.
3.6.1 Authentication of Remote Users
The server only supports anonymous login.
■Anonymous with password requested (but not validated). This can prevent some
types of attacks and is required by some clients.
Once connected, a remote user is logged into the FTP root directory. This is available from
the QuickPanel+ as \ and is the root of the flash device.
3.6.2 FTP with Removable Flash Devices
All removable flash devices appear to remote FTP users as directories off the FTP root
directory. PC Flash card partitions appear as directories such as \SDMemory and USB Flash
Keys as directories such as \Hard Disk. Full access privileges are granted for the client in
these folders/devices.
Removable flash device directories are captured when a session is opened and are not
changed while the session exists. If you start without an SD Card installed, you will have to
close your session and login again to see the SD Card directory. If the SD Card existed when
you logged in and is removed and inserted, it will still work, provided the SD Card’s device
name did not change during reinsertion.
3.7 HTTP Server
The HTTP Server included with the QuickPanel+ supports standard (RFC 2616).
The configuration of the HTTP server is accomplished with the Quick Panel+ Setup Tool. By
default, the server is not enabled. Once enabled, a background program will run, waiting for
clients to connect. The default web page is located in \Windows\www\wwwpub on the
QuickPanel+.
The Server supports:
■Non-secure port 80 operation.
