eXpress Config

Introduction

eXpress Config is installed on a desktop/laptop computer with a Windows XP operating system. It is an accessory product to

the Wavelink Avalanche MC system management application. The desktop/laptop computer running the Wavelink Avalanche

MC system management application is, for the purposes of this document, described as the Avalanche MC Console.

Software Packages distributed to the Mobile Device Servers and Enablers do not include the eXpress Config application.

eXpress Config provides three basic functions:

• eXpress Config can be used to create software packages for Honeywell software. See Creating a Software Package with

eXpress Config (page 4-2).

• eXpress Config can be used to configure the software packages, either when the package is created or after the package has

been imported into the Avalanche MC console. See Configuring a Software Package with eXpress Config (page 4-4).

• eXpress Config can be used to generate and print bar codes to be used with the eXpress Scan feature installed on certain

Honeywell devices. The bar codes generated using eXpress Scan are designed for the initial wireless network and Mobile

Device Server configuration on the mobile device. See Creating Configuration Bar Codes with eXpress Config (page 4-9).

The assumption is made that the user has a basic familiarity with Microsoft Windows terms, basic Windows components and

their use/function. For example, assumption is made that the user is familiar with the operation of Windows Title Bars, Menu

Bars, Navigation Trees, Configuration Panels, and Message Panels. The final assumption is that the user has access to stan-

dard Windows Help vehicles: on-line Help, Windows Help documents, etc. available from Microsoft and on-line help or docu-

mentation available from Wavelink.

Avalanche Software Collections

Software collections are made up of one or more Software Packages. Software Packages are created using eXpress Con-

fig. Software Packages created using eXpress Config include a software module and parameter configuration information.

Honeywell software modules compatible with eXpress Config include a data definition file (.DDF) which communicates the

configurable parameters for that particular software module to eXpress Config. The DDF file was not included in earlier

Avalanche software packages.

The Wavelink Package Builder can be used to send non-Honeywell supported software, if desired.

A network administrator interacts with the Avalanche Console to define policies and create software collections that are dis-

tributed through the Avalanche Mobile Device Servers to the Avalanche Enablers running on client devices.

When a Software Package is installed into the Avalanche MC Console, it becomes available for inclusion in a Software Col-

lection. eXpress Config is launched by clicking the Configure tab, after selecting a Software Package that has been

installed in the Avalanche Console and included in a Software Collection. eXpress Config reads the data definition file

which is included in the software package and presents the configurable parameters for that Software Package to the

device administrator through a graphical user interface.

Once the device administrator has updated the configurable parameters, the new parameter values are included in the

Software Package.

The device administrator also defines policies that are assigned to each Software Collection. These policies determine

which client device receives the software collection.

Note: Honeywell software modules include operating system modules, an RFTerm module, an AppLock module, a bar code

wedge module or a radio module. Software modules are sometimes also referred to as “G-numbers” or “P-numbers”.

The type of software modules available vary depending on the operating system of the managed device

Space Requirements on Mobile Computers

There must be sufficient space on the mobile device when downloading software collections.

• The mobile device must have a minimum of 128MB CF card.

• The free space on the CF card must be at least twice the size of the largest file in the package.

• The RMU creates a real-time property called RMU.FreeSpaceAvailable which can be read from the Avalanche MC

Console. To view this property, right-click on a device in the Avalanche MC Console and click Mobile Device Settings….

Select the Properties tab. The RMU.FreeSpaceAvailable property is included in the list of properties only after the RMU

has executed at least one time on the remote device and the Enabler has successfully synchronized with the Avalanche

MC Console.
