Enabler Installation and Configuration
Introduction
This section discusses Honeywell supported features with Wavelink Avalanche Mobile Device Servers. This section is split into
three basic areas:
Installation
User Interface
Enabler Configuration
Installation
To use the Wavelink Avalanche MC System, the following items are required:
A desktop or laptop PC on which to install the Avalanche MC Console.
A desktop or laptop PC on which to install the Avalanche Mobile Device Server (this can be the same PC where the Avalanche
MC Console is installed).
Wavelink Avalanche MC Console 4.2 or later.
A Wavelink Device License for each client device.
To use Avalanche Remote Control, the follow additional items are required:
Wavelink Remote Control plug-in, 2.0 or later
A Wavelink Remote Control License for each client device
Installing the Enabler on Mobile Devices
Supported devices have the Avalanche Enabler installation files loaded, but not installed, on the mobile device when it is
shipped. The installation files are located in the \System folder on Windows devices.
Note: If the user is NOT using Wavelink Avalanche to manage their mobile device(s), the Enabler should not be installed
on the mobile device(s). Doing so results in unnecessary delays when booting the device.
The Avalanche Enabler installation file HSM_ENABLER.CAB (older software loads may use LXE_ENABLER.CAB instead)
is loaded on the Thor VM2 by Honeywell; however, the device is not configured to launch the Enabler installation file auto-
matically. The installation application must be run manually the first time Avalanche is used.
After installation, the Enabler runs as a background application monitoring for updates. This behavior can be modified by
accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel through the Enabler interface.
This behavior can be modified by accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel through the Enabler Interface.
The RMU.CE.CAB file is placed on the device during manufacturing in the \System\RMU folder.
During the Enabler installation process, the Enabler checks for the RMU.CE.CAB file in the \System folder.
If present, it assumes the RMU.CE.CAB file is already installed and continues.
If the file RMU.CE.CAB file is not present, it looks for the file in the \System\RMU folder.
If present, the Enabler copies the file to the \System folder and installs it.
At this point, the OS will automatically install the Remote Management Utility (RMU) after the Thor VM2 reboots.
Enabler Uninstall Process
To remove the Avalanche Enabler from the Thor VM2:
1. Delete the Avalanche folder located in the \System directory.
2. Warm boot the Thor VM2.
The Avalanche folder cannot be deleted while the Enabler is running. See Stop the Enabler Service (page 7-2).
If sharing errors occur while attempting to delete the Avalanche folder, warm boot the Thor VM2, immediately delete the
Avalanche folder, and then perform another warm boot.
