Update Monitoring Overview

There are three methods by which the Enabler on an LXE device can communicate with the
Mobile Device Server running on the host machine.
• Wired via a serial cable between the Mobile Device Server and the VX5 (only COM1 is
supported for this connection on the VX5).
• Wired via a USB connection, using ActiveSync, between the Mobile Device Server and
the mobile device.
• Wirelessly via the 2.4GHz network card and an access point
After installing the Enabler on the mobile unit, a reboot is required for the Enabler to begin
normal functionality. Following a mobile device reboot, the Enabler searches for an Agent, first
by polling all available serial ports and then over the wireless network. The designation of the
mobile device to the Avalanche Manager is VX5.
The Enabler running on the LXEVX5 will attempt to access only COM1. "Agent not found" will
be reported if the agent is not located or a serial port is not present or available.
The wireless connection is made using the default network interface on the mobile device
therefore the device must be actively communicating with the network for this method to succeed.
If an Agent or Management Console is found, the Enabler will automatically attempt to apply all
wireless and network settings from the active profile. The Enabler will also automatically
download and process all available packages.
