Upgrading the System Software

CN4 Series Mobile Computer User's Manual
AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first parameter, which
allows you to specify path names or file names that contain white
spaces. AutoRun only supports one set of quotes per command.
When you upgrade your computer, you are updating the operating
system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files.
The SSPB files are stored in flash and deliver Intermec Value Add
(IVA) functionality such as data collection, configuration, the
Intermec wireless security suite, and the SmartSystems™ Foundation.
As new features are added to these components, you can update your
SSPB files without updating the OS. Alternately, you can choose to
upgrade only the operating system if you need new functionality. If
you upgrade the operating system, you will need to reinstall SSPB
files.
There are two ways to upgrade your computer:
• You can upgrade your computer using a storage card. For help, see
the next section,
• You can upgrade your computer using the SmartSystems Console.
For help, see "Upgrading the CN4 Using SmartSystems
Foundation" on page 70.
