Deployment

To install applications onto the mobile computer, developers package the application and all required files into a
CAB file, then load the file onto the mobile computer using one of the following options:
•
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 or greater
•
Storage Card
•
AirBEAM
•
Image Update (for updating the operating system).
Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file for information on CAB files.
The MC909X Integrator Guide, P/N: 72E-72216-xx provides the deployment support information applicable to the
MC9090-G RFID mobile computer. Information on the following topics is provided:
•
Installation Using ActiveSync
•
Installation Using Storage Card
•
Installation Using AirBEAM
•
Image Update

XML Provisioning

To configure the settings on a mobile computer XML provisioning should be used. To install an XML provisioning
file on the mobile computer, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF) file. A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and
contains just one file: _setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a
CPF extracts the XML code and uses it to provision and configure the mobile computer. The user receives an
e-mail notification indicating success or failure.
XML Provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the mobile computer (i.e., registry and file
system). However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, certain
privileges (roles) are required. Some registry keys require only an Authenticated User, while other registry keys
require a Manager. Refer to the Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file, Metabase Settings for Registry Configuration
Service Provider section, for the default role settings in Windows Mobile 5.0.
For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged certificate
installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file and the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for
instructions and sample test certificates.
