System Configuration Manager; File Types; User Interface - Motorola VC5090 Product Reference Manual

System Configuration Manager

Symbol Configuration Manager (SCM) is a utility that runs on the host computer and is used to create configuration
files. These files, when deployed to an vehicle computer, set configuration parameters for that device. The
configurable options for a vehicle computer are defined in an XML file that is available on the Support Central.
SCM is also available on Support Central.
SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings.

File Types

SCM uses three types of files:
• Symbol Configuration Template (.SCT) files are XML files that define the configurable parameters for a
device.
• Registry Configuration Service Provider XML files for device provisioning.
• CAB Provisioning Format (.CPF) file which is a .CAB archive that contains the provisioning XML. This file is
downloaded to the EDA and merged upon a cold boot.

User Interface

SCM's user interface consists of a tree control on the left side of the window which displays all the configuration
categories, and a data grid table on the right which displays all the configurable controls for the selected category.
Figure B-3 shows the main window for a device's .sct file.
