Chapter 4 — Manage the Computer
CK3R and CK3X Mobile Computer User Manual 69
The SmartSystems console can report on asset locations and battery
status, making it easier to manage your computers.
With a Provisioning license, SmartSystems can automatically push
software, configuration settings, and other files to the computers. The
license also enables ScanNGo, which makes connecting additional
computers to your wireless network as easy as scanning bar codes. To
purchase a Provisioning license, contact your local Intermec
representative.
How to Manage the Computer Using Third-Party Software
You can use third-party software such as Wavelink Avalanche to
centrally manage your Intermec devices. Device management software
enables you to update software, increase security, track your assets,
and troubleshoot devices remotely. You can download the Wavelink
enabler for the mobile computer from the Wavelink website. For more
information, visit the Intermec website and search for Wavelink
Avalanche or visit www.wavelink.com to download the enables.
How to Develop and Install Applications
Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the
mobile computer. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java,
and web components grouped by functionality that you can use to
create applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the
Intermec website at www.intermec.com/idl.
About Packaging Your Application
After you develop your application, you need to package it for
installation on your mobile computer. For very simple applications,
the executable file may be the only file you need to deploy. Typically,
you will have a set of files to install. Intermec recommends using
cabinet (.cab) files to install more complex applications. The computer
uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party
.cab files.
