RD Client Version 3.28

The RD Client version 3.28 enables simple and rapid provisioning of new (out of the box) vehicle computers and
simplifies the out-of-box provisioning by scanning bar codes or connecting to a profile server. The RD Client acts
as a frontend for wireless radio configuration, automating the manual configurations that would normally be
required to use these tools.
NOTE The MSP 3.X Rapid Deployment Client enables staging by scanning staging profiles encoded into staging bar
code sheets. It also enables staging to be performed without scanning bar codes through the use of
On-Demand Staging.
When using On-Demand Staging, the RD Client pulls staging profiles directly from an On-Demand Profile
Server over some form of pre-configured or automatically-configured IP connection.
For detailed information about the MSP 3.X, refer to the Mobility Services Platform 3.X User's Guide.
An MSP Administrator uses the MSP Console for the creation of an RD profile that contains all the wireless
network and security information (for example, ESSID, WEP Keys, etc.) required to get a vehicle computer onto
the wireless network. The profile also contains FTP server access information needed to connect to the
provisioning MSP and the list of software packages to be provisioned to the vehicle computer from the provisioning
MSP. The RD profile can then be encoded into an RD bar code sheet and printed from the MSP Console or loaded
onto a profile server.
