Device
 |
|
The PageBox device looks like a PDA but is thickier. It includes:
- A RJ45 Ethernet adapter
- A CompactFlash reader
| CPU |
700 Mhz and more x86 or 500 Mhz and more PowerPC. |
| RAM |
192 or 256 MB. |
It can run any Operating System that supports a Java 2 VM and a Web browser.
The local administrator:
- Inserts the CompactFlash card in the device. The CompactFlash card contains the VM, Application server
(Tomcat or Resin) and PageBox code. It can also contain pre-installed presentations.
- Connects the device on a LAN
- Configures its IP address and name
- Uses the browser to subscribe to a Presentation repository. Then published presentations are downloaded
and users can access presentations on the device.
|
The local administrator can also download new versions of the Java VM, Application server and PageBox.
A big organization can choose to ship new versions of the CompactFlash card and
- Disable VM, Application server and PageBox updates
- Disable subscription
PageBox device is designed to be deployed in this configuration:
- Branch offices deploy PageBox devices on their local LAN.
- Employees of branch offices use PageBox presentations
- PageBox presentations invoke Web services
- Administrators connect to PageBoxes through Internet. They administrate PageBoxes with Web browsers.

| TroubleShooting |
Logs are stored on the CompactFlash card.

| Benefit |
