Product download-related programs

•In the Sched Load drop-down list, specify the load mode to be used for scheduled synchronization, if enabled. The selections include:

•Default - Specifies that the load mode specified in the Auto-load setting is to be used for scheduled synchronization sessions.

•Interactive - The Synchronization Dialog displays when a scheduled synchronization session occurs. The user is required to press the OK button to dismiss the dialog.

•Non-interactive - The Synchronization Dialog displays when a scheduled synchronization session occurs. The dialog is automatically dismissed when the synchronization is complete, unless an error occurs. If an error occurs the user is required to press the OK button to dismiss the dialog.

•Background - Nothing is displayed when the scheduled synchronization sessions occur.

•In the Sched Prompt drop-down list, specify whether the AirBEAM client prompts the user when updates are available in schedule mode. The settings include:

•Disable - Updated packages are automatically downloaded. The user is not prompted.

•Alert - Updated packages are not automatically downloaded. The user is prompted to warm boot the device to initiate the package downloads.

•Launch - Updated packages are not automatically downloaded. The user is prompted to start the package download. The user can defer the package download by responding no to the prompt. The MAXNOPRESS registry setting can be used to limit the number of times the user can defer the update.

•Confirm - Updated packages are not automatically downloaded. This value behaves the same as the Launch value, except that the user is required to confirm an additional prompt before the download starts.

Synchronizing with the Server

When the synchronization process is initiated, the AirBEAM Smart Client attempts to open an FTP session using the AirBEAM Smart Client configuration. Once connected, the client processes the specified packages. Packages are loaded only if the server version of a given package is different from the version loaded on the client. Once the upload process is complete, the AirBEAM Smart Client closes the FTP session with the server.

The AirBEAM Smart Client can launch an FTP session with the server either manually, when initiated by the user, or automatically.
