The Wavelink Avalanche client management system uses three
main components to help you easily manage your wireless
network.
Avalanche Component Descriptions
Component Description
Enabler Resides on all devices that can be managed by the
Avalanche system. It communicates information
about the device to the Avalanche Agent and
manages software applications on the device.
Agent Automatically detects and upgrades all devices in
the Avalanche system and manages the daily
processing functions.
Console The administrative user interface that lets you
configure and communicate with the Avalanche
Agent. From the console, you can configure and
monitor devices and build and install software
packages and software collections.
The enabler is already installed on IF5s with firmware release 2.0
and later. Avalanche uses a hierarchical file system organized into
software packages and software collections:
• Software packages are groups of files for an application that
resides on the device.
• Software collections are logical groups of software packages.
For more information, see the Wavelink Avalanche
documentation and online help. Or, visit the Wavelink web site
