System Configuration Manager

Symbol Configuration Manager (SCM) is a utility that runs on the development computer and is used to create
configuration files. These files, when deployed to an mobile computer, set configuration parameters for that
device. The configurable options for a mobile computer are defined in an XML file that is available on the
Symbol DevZone for that mobile computer. SCM is also available on Symbol DevZone.
SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings.

File Types

SCM uses three types of files:
Symbol Configuration Template (.SCT) files are XML files that define the configurable parameters for a
•
device.
Registry Configuration Service Provider XML files for device provisioning.
•
CAB Provisioning Format (.CPF) file which is a .CAB archive that contains the provisioning XML. This file
•
is downloaded to the mobile computer and merged upon a clean boot.

User Interface

SCM's user interface consists of a tree control on the left side of the window which displays all the
configuration categories, and a data grid table on the right which displays all the configurable controls for the
selected category.
