The network infor- mation from the scanned barcodes is stored in the Avalanche profile on the Enabler. For information about creating barcode profiles, refer to the Avalanche SE User Guide.

•Cradle the mobile device. If the mobile device is not associated with your network, place the mobile device in its cradle and connect to the Mobile Device Server using ActiveSync.
