Installation
and Setup Instructions
If
you have already downloaded Mobile Eldit demo package from the download
section please read further to see how to install and setup
the system and needed programs:
Installing
EWE
To
install the EWE virtual machine on your device you should
connect the device to your PC and use ActiveSync. In the
zip file you have downloaded you should find the ewe installation
(i.e. a .cab file) which is appropriate for your device processor
type. You should copy this file and run it on the device,
using File Explorer. Follow the instructions that appear
on the screen. EWE virtual machine will be installed automatically
and the .cab file itself will be removed from the device.
|
|
 After
finishing installing the virtual machine, go to the Programs
folder on your device and open the EWE folder. Click on the
ewe icon to activate the VM. You see a screen, similar to
the one shown on the right.

more detailed instructions and support see EweSoft web
site. |
Putting
the m-Eldit package on the PDA
The MobileEldit.zip
file you have downloaded contains all the data of the demo package
of Mobile Eldit system.
1. Unpack MobileEldit.zip
in some temporary directory on your PC (e.g. C:\Temp). From the
zip one directory, called 'ewe' (no quotes) should be extracted.
2. On the mobile device, using File Explorer, put the folder 'ewe' (no quotes)
in the folder Program Files.
The result is: {On
the PDA} \Program Files\ewe\
3. Now on the mobile device you should have ewe folder that contains a folder
mEldit and a file FoxyProxy.ewe like shown below.
 
| If
you have an external memory on your PDA it is preferable
that you keep the memory inside the slot while using Mobile
Eldit, so the system will do regular backups of the collected
tracking data (for details on what is collected see the FAQ:
Why the proxy is needed?). |
 |
You should
enter the type of the memory you use in the following file:
{On the PDA}
\Program Files\ewe\mEldit\Storage_Name.txt
You can open it on the mobile device by simply clicking on it.
NOTE: On different devices, memory types and OS versions the name
of the external memory will vary. Some possible names are: CF Card, SD Card,
Storage Card, Scheda SD/CF, etc. You can see the correct name of your memory
in the File Explorer on the mobile device. You can recognize it by the icon  .
Switching
on the proxy
The system
uses a local (on the PDA) caching proxy, called FoxyProxy that
should be located in the following directory:
{On the PDA}
\Program Files\ewe
The proxy
should be switched on by:
- Executing
the FoxyProxy program (clicking on it)
- Starting
the proxy by pressing the “Start Proxy” button
- You should
see written on the screen:
* it might take about
1 min.
Hello, Foxy
Storage for backup: CF Card
-> Zip File OPENED!
-----------------------------------------
Proxy Server -> Waiting for …
|
|
- Press Start
Menu -> Today
* Note that you should NOT press the OK button in the top-right corner,
but directly open the Start Manu and choose Today. Pressing the OK button
will actually switch off the proxy.
Installing
and setting up browser NetFront3
| After
downloading the NetFront installation appropriate for your
device you should run the .exe file and follow the instructions
on the screen. To run the browser press the Start Menu on
the device and choose Programs. Click on the NetFront icon
(shown on the left) to start the browser. |
|
When you first
open the newly installed NetFront browser you should do the following:
1. From the
'Tools' menu choose 'Browser Settings'
2. In the 'General' tab:
a)
Uncheck 'Use cache'
b) Press 'Home' button and in the newly opened window
write as HOME page:
http://www.mobileEldit.com/TextsList
c) Press OK button
3. In the 'Network' tab:
a) Check the 'Use proxy' option
b) Write "localhost" (without the quotes) in
the field on the left
c) Write 3128 in the field on the right (e.g. the port)
4. Press the OK button in the upper-right corner.
5. From the File Menu choose Home - this should open the starting page of
the sample Mobile Eldit package with the list of available texts (see the
screenshots).
Note: To exit the
browser you should use the File menu "Exit".
Some
important things, which should not be forgotten!
- The browser
that should be used is NetFront3 (NOT IE) ->
- In order to
have Mobile Eldit working you should switch on FoxyProxy ->
- The device
battery should be charged regularly. Even if you do not use your
PDA it consumed power and in some rather short period the battery
might discharge fully. In such a case the device 'forgets' all
user-installed applications and data. This fact, though mentioned
in the device's user manual is quite irritating.
