Airbeam Staging - Symbol MC9000-G Product Reference Manual

AirBEAM Staging

The AirBEAM Smart staging support is intended to speed up and simplify the process of staging
custom or updated operating software onto mobile devices directly from manufacturing. The staging
support is part of the AirBEAM Smart CE Client that is integrated into the mobile computer.
The AirBEAM Smart support works by defaulting the AirBEAM Client configuration to a known set of
values and launching the AirBEAM Smart package download logic. A staging environment, including
an RF network, FTP server and AirBEAM packages must be setup. Ideally a staging network and server
should be setup to match the default AirBEAM Staging client configuration.
The AirBEAM Smart staging utility is invoked from the Applications directory (tap Start - Programs -
File Explorer - Application).
The AirBEAM Staging support provides several benefits:
• Many devices can be simultaneously loaded over the RF network.
• The AirBEAM staging utility provides a simple single dialog user interface that is used to
quickly start the software installation process.
