III. ML Administrator Application Upgrade Procedure

ML Administrator Application (MLAA) is an optional application intended for use by System Administrator (SA) personnel to configure the parameters of various functions in the notebook, like the default configuration that automatically loads when the ML910 notebook is turned on. As such, this application is normally installed only when needed by System Administrators and then removed.

Note

MLAA is required for initially configuring the ML910 RF Pass-through feature to operate in a ML900 docking station that has the RF Retrofit kit installed. By default, the ML910 notebook will assume the ML900 dock is not compatible and RF will not switch to its pass-through connectors. Please refer to the ML910 Rugged Notebook User Guide, 6871008P31-B, for configuration instructions.

Note: This procedure assumes that the ML Service and ML User Application version 4.A are already installed on the target system.

1.If the ML Administrator Application was present on the notebook being upgraded, it would have been uninstalled in the previous procedure, Step 2.c. If so, skip to Step 3 below. Confirm the version number of an existing ML910 ML Administrator Application is 4.7 or earlier.

a.Double click on ML Administrator Application icon on the Desktop.

b.Check the ML Administrator Application version where highlighted below.

2.Uninstall the existing version of the ML Administrator Application

a.Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

b.Select ML Administrator Application and click Remove to uninstall.

3.Open the folder on the desktop where the extracted files from the upgrade package were saved. Locate and open the MLAA folder. You may choose to copy these on to a USB FLASH drive for upgrading additional notebooks later. The files need to be kept in the same directory/folder, and are:

a.MLAA.msi

b.MLService.msi

c.setup.exe

d.vcredist_x86.exe
