Update Monitoring Overview - Honeywell vx6 Reference Manual

Update Monitoring Overview

There are three methods by which the Enabler on the VX6 can communicate with the Mobile Device Server running on the host
machine.
Wired via a serial cable between the Mobile Device Server PC and the VX6.
l
Wired via a USB connection, using ActiveSync, between the Mobile Device Server PC and the VX6.
l
Wirelessly via the VX6 2.4GHz radio and an access point
l
After installing the Enabler on the VX6 the Enabler searches for a Mobile Device Server, first by polling all available serial ports
and then over the wireless network.
The Enabler running on the VX6 will attempt to access COM1, COM2, and COM3. "Agent not found" will be reported if the
Mobile Device Server is not located or a serial port is not present or available (COM port settings can be verified using the bar
code wedge panels on the VX6).
The wireless connection is made using the default wireless [radio] interface on the mobile device therefore the VX6 must be
actively communicating with the network for this method to succeed.
If a Mobile Device Server is found, the Enabler automatically attempts to apply all wireless and network settings from the
active profile. The Enabler also automatically downloads and processes all available packages.
If the Enabler does not automatically detect the Mobile Device Server, the IP address of the Mobile Device Server can be
entered on the Connect tab of the Enabler setup. Please see
