Install Applications Using a ScanNGo Bar Code
You can use the ScanNGo function in SmartSystems Foundation to
create a bar code that loads software. The bar code contains the
address of the server where the software to download is located. Once
you scan the bar code, it finds the server, downloads the file, and
installs it on the mobile computer. For more information on installing
applications using a ScanNGo bar code, see the SmartSystems
Foundation Help. For more information on using a ScanNGo bar code
to enable Wi-Fi, see “Configure 802.11 Radio Communications” on
page 67.
Launch Applications Automatically
There are two ways to launch an application automatically on a cold
boot:
• Set up your .cab file to place a shortcut to the application in the
\Windows\StartUp directory at install time.
• Use AutoRun.exe to start your application at boot time. AutoRun
ships on the computer and automates other operations.
At boot time, AutoRun executes any commands found in its data file,
Autouser.dat. For more information on how to use the AutoRun.exe
feature, view the Readme.txt file located in the My Device\Flash File
Store\2577 directory on your computer.
Update the System Software
The mobile computer uses SmartSystems bundles to update the
operating system (OS) and the system software.
You can use these methods to update your mobile computer:
• You can update individual computers, or multiple computers at
the same time using the SmartSystems console. For help, see the
next section, “Update Individual or Multiple Computers Using
SmartSystems Console”.
• You can update individual computers using a microSD card. For
more information, see “Update Individual Mobile Computers
Using a microSD Card” on page 96.
