Update Monitoring OverviewThere are three methods by which the Enabler on the Thor VM2 can communicate with the Mobile Device Server running on the host machine.
•Wired via a serial cable between the Mobile Device Server PC and the Thor VM2.
•Wired via a USB connection, using ActiveSync, between the Mobile Device Server PC and the Thor VM2.
•Wirelessly via the Thor VM2 2.4GHz radio and an access point
After installing the Enabler on the Thor VM2 the Enabler searches for a Mobile Device Server, first by polling all available serial ports and then over the wireless network.
The Enabler running on the Thor VM2 will attempt to access COM1, COM2, and COM3. “Agent not found” will be reported if the Mobile Device Server is not located or a serial port is not present or available (COM port settings can be verified using the bar code wedge panels on the Thor VM2).
The wireless connection is made using the default wireless [radio] interface on the mobile device therefore the Thor VM2 must be actively communicating with the network for this method to succeed.
If a Mobile Device Server is found, the Enabler automatically attempts to apply all wireless and network settings from the active profile. The Enabler also automatically downloads and processes all available packages.
If the Enabler does not automatically detect the Mobile Device Server, the IP address of the Mobile Device Server can be entered on the Connect tab of the Enabler setup. See Enabler Configuration (page
Once the connection to the Mobile Device Server is established, the Thor VM2 Enabler attempts to apply all network and wireless settings contained in the active profile.
The success of the application of settings is dependent upon the local configuration of control parameters for the Enabler.
These local parameters cannot be overridden from the Avalanche MC Console.
The default Enabler adapter control settings are:
•Manage network settings – enabled
•Use Avalanche network profile – enabled
•Manage wireless settings – disabled
To configure the Avalanche Enabler management of the network and wireless settings:
1.Open the Enabler Settings Panels by tapping the Enabler icon on the desktop.
2.Select File > Settings.
3.Select the Adapters tab.
4.Choose settings for the Use Manual Settings parameter.
5.Choose settings for Manage Network Settings, Manage Wireless Settings and Use Avalanche Network Profile.
6.Click the OK button to save the changes.
