Use the Sierra Sport™ Configurator (SSC) with the Wavelink Avalanche Management
Console software and a Monarch 9460 printer (version 3.0 or greater firmware and version 1.4
or higher boot loader. Purchase the Avalanche software package from the Wavelink
Corporation. Use Avalanche to manage mobile devices over networks (WAN or LAN).
Note: The Monarch 9493 printer does not support Avalanche at this time.
There are several key elements in the Avalanche System:

Download our .AVA package (SSCfg.AVA) from our Web site. The package contains all the files
you need to connect with Avalanche including the SSC software.
For information about using the Avalanche Management Console, refer to your Avalanche
documentation. The following graphic shows how Avalanche works with the 9460 printer.
Files are transferred from the console to the agent through the WAN or LAN and onto the
clients.
The 9460 printer has a built-in Avalanche Enabler that allows
communications between the printer and the Avalanche agent once the
printer is turned on. You can easily update the printer's firmware or
configuration and receive status updates from the printer. Use Telnet
console commands to disable the enabler, if necessary. The printer (with
the enabler) is also referred to as a "client."
The agent manages functions on the network (WAN or LAN) and stores
the settings and software for the clients. You can have one or more
agents throughout your network. The agent receives commands issued
by the Management Console.
Use the Management Console to issue commands to the agents. Your
System Administrator can view and manage all agents and clients on the
network by scheduling updates, identifying client settings, configuring
profiles, and checking the status (failure/success) of updates to each
client on the network.
