How do I change the wallpaper on the RBT-366?

It is possible to change the wallpaper on the RBT-366, the best way to do this is to have a .jpg file of the image you wish to use available on a network share that is reachable by the RBT-366.  Then open up an xterm linux shell on the unit by going to Start -> Programs -> Shells -> XTerm, and enter the command:

smbmount //<servername>/<sharename> /remote –o username=<username>,password=<password>

This will mount the network share on the RBT.  Then type cp /remote/filename.jpg /tmp/config/files, reboot the RBT and when it comes up it will have the new image as its desktop wallpaper.

To get rid of background image... open a shell, use commands rm /tmp/config/files/*.jpg freeze

My Symbol Scanner worked when it was connected to a dumb terminal but when it is attached to an RBT it doesn't work.

If a customer is changing from a dumb terminal to an RBT and they have Symbol Scanners (LS-4000/4004), according to Symbol, the cable needs to be replaced with part number STI-85-0200 which is a USB 1/2/3 Smart Synapse Cable.

I am experiencing a problem with a wireless connection where if the user is not an administrator but a power user or restricted user,  they cannot connect because of database initialization or corruption.

We have discovered a bug in the Intel client 10.1.X.X on the tablets and rabbits.  If you experience a problem with wireless if the user is not an administrator but a power user or restricted user and they cannot connect because of database initialization or corruption you have the issue as described in the URL below.

http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-022254.htm

The image is currently being redone so it will have the later client 10.5.X.X on it but you can download it yourself from the link below:

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/download.aspx?url=/12256/eng/Wireless_TIC_125458_v10.5.1.0_XP32.exe&agr=N&ProductID=1847&DwnldId=12256&strOSs=All&OSFullName=All+Operating+Systems&lang=eng

PLEASE NOTE: The first URL explains how to manually remove the database - this is important!  Also, you can export the profiles and then import them.  The new Intel version has been tested and it does work correctly.
