COMSerial/BootDialog Registry Key
NAME
COMSerial/BootDialog
DEFAULT
enabled
DESCRIPTIOTN
The
COM port by default supplies reports during the boot process. Once the
unit is up and running this port can also be used to access the command
line console. When the port is employed in communicating with another device
these messages can cause protocol issues. The unwanted messages can be
disabled using this Registry key.
Note that the application program should also disable the boot dialog and
command line capabilities to insure reliable port use. This is done using
the com.integpg.comm.COMSerialPort.setBootDialog() static method. This
can also be controlled from the command line using the MODE -S command.
Diagnostic port information is included in the jniorboot.log file. This
eliminates the prior need to observe the boot through the serial port while
debugging. Additionally, the jniorboot.log.bak file accumulates prior boot
detail providing an expanded record of boot detail.
NOTES
Log retention can be greatly expanded by running the
JBakup utility.
