Enabler Uninstall Process

To remove the Avalanche Enabler from the HX3:
• Delete the Avalanche folder located in the \System directory.
• Warm boot the HX3.
The Avalanche folder cannot be deleted while the Enabler is running. See

Stop the Enabler Service

(page 8-2).
If sharing errors occur while attempting to delete the Avalanche folder, warm boot the HX3, immediately delete the Avalanche
folder, and then perform another warm boot.
Note: Although the HX3 has no display or alphanumeric keypad, HX3 control panels can be viewed and parameters manipulated
using LXEConnect and ActiveSync on a connected desktop/laptop computer.
Stop the Enabler Service
To stop the Enabler from monitoring for updates from the Mobility Center Console:
1. Open the Enabler Settings Panels by tapping the Enabler icon on the HX3 desktop.
2. Select File > Settings.
3. Select the Startup/Shutdown tab.
4. Select the Do not monitor or launch Enabler parameter to prevent automatic monitoring upon startup.
5. Select Stop Monitoring for an immediate shutdown of all Enabler update functionality upon exiting the user interface.
6. Click the OK button to save the changes.
7. Reboot the HX3 if necessary.

Update Monitoring Overview

There are three methods by which the Enabler on the HX3 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 HX3.
• Wired via a USB connection, using ActiveSync, between the Mobile Device Server PC and the HX3.
• Wirelessly via the HX3 2.4GHz radio and an access point
After installing the Enabler on the HX3 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 HX3 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 HX3).
The wireless connection is made using the default wireless [radio] interface on the mobile device therefore the HX3 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. See Enabler Configuration (page 8-4) for details.

Wireless and Network Settings

Once the connection to the Mobile Device Server is established, the HX3 Enabler attempts to apply all network and wireless
settings contained in the active profile.
The success of the application of settings is dependent upon the local configuration of control parameters for the Enabler.
These local parameters cannot be overridden from the Avalanche MC Console.
The default Enabler adapter control settings are:
• Manage network settings – enabled
