Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
Installing Applications Using Wavelink Avalanche
You can use the Wavelink Avalanche™ device management system to install applications on all of your wireless CK30s. The CK30 ships with the Avalanche Enabler already loaded on it.
Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a warm boot), the CK30 attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CK30 connects to the agent, the Agent determines whether an update is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.
To use Avalanche to remotely manage the CK30
1Install software packages and updates for the CK30 using the Avalanche Administrative Console.
2Schedule the CK30 updates or manually initiate an update using the Avalanche Administrative Console.
For more information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact your local Intermec representative or visit the Wavelink web site at www.wavelink.com.
Launching Your Application Automatically
To launch your application automatically on the CK30 every time you perform a warm or cold boot, make sure your CAB file places a shortcut to your application in the \Windows\StartUp folder.
Customizing How Applications Load on the CK30
If you have several processes that you need to have run in a specific order as the CK30 turns on, you can use the AutoRun system to customize the way applications load. For compatibility with other Intermec computers, you can place a copy of AutoRun.exe in the same folder as your AutoRun.dat file but it is not required.
To create and install the AutoRun.dat file on your CK30
1On the CK30, create a subfolder called 2577 on the SDMMC Disk or the CK_FFS folder.
