Appendix B: ezUpdate for
Windows CE Appliances
This appendix discusses how to use ezRemote Manager to create the con-
figuration files needed to automatically update your Windows CE- based
Neoware appliances' software, properties, and connections.
Both ezRemote Manager (2.2 or later) and Neoware software,
(incorporating Windows CE (5.2 or later)) contain enhancements
that allow for the automatic server update of appliance software,
appliance configuration properties, and appliance server connec-
tions. These enhancements are collectively called "ezUpdate."
The use of this feature enables all Neoware Windows CE-based
appliances to pull their configuration and/or software from a server
when they are powered on for the first time. Additionally, each time
the appliance is booted, it will check with the server to see if it
needs to update its configuration and/or software.
The following is a list of requirements to enable ezUpdate:
One Neoware Windows CE-based appliance configured as a
•
template.
Access to an FTP server, where configuration and software
•
update packages can be installed, and to a DHCP server that can
be configured to notify Neoware appliances where to look for
updated configuration information and/or software. The FTP
and DHCP servers can be resident on the same server or on sep-
arate servers.
