Avalanche
The Wavelink Avalanche Enabler installation file is loaded on the MX9 by Honeywell; however, the device is not configured

ified by accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel through the Enabler Interface.
Software Development
The CE API Programming Guide documents unique API calls for the MX9. It is intended as an addition to Microsoft Win-
dows CE API documentation.
A Software Developers Kit (SDK) and additional information about software development can be found the Technical Sup-
port Portal. Contact Technical Assistance for more information.

A SD/CF card is used for permanent storage of the MX9 drivers, CAB files and utilities. It is also used for registry content
back up. CAB files, when executed, are not deleted.
Always perform a warm reset (Start / Run / Warmboot) when exchanging one card for another.
