Upgrading the Operating System on Your Computer

You can use the Intermec Recovery Tools CD to reinstall or upgrade the
operating system software on the CK61. For more information, contact
your Intermec representative for more information about this CD.
You can use the SmartSystems™ Foundation 2.0 application from Intermec
to perform upgrades on your CK61, versions 2.0 or later. Contact your
Intermec representative for more information about the SmartSystems
Foundation software.
When you upgrade the operating system, you erase the current
configuration and replace it with the new default configuration. You will
need to reset the network parameters on the CK61 to reestablish
communications with other devices in the network. In other words, if you
upgrade the operating system and the default registry from the operating
system has changed, the registry is rolled back to the new default.
When you upgrade your CK61, you are updating the operating system
(OS) and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) files.
The PSM files are stored on the DiskOnChip, and deliver Intermec Value-
Added (IVA) functionality such as data collection, unit configuration and
diagnostics, and Intermec's wireless security suite. As new features are added
to these components, you can upgrade your PSM files without needing to
upgrade the operating system image. Similarly, features added to the
operating system images do not affect the functionality of the PSM, and
you can choose to upgrade only the operating system image.
There are two ways to upgrade the CK61:
• You can use a Secure Digital card to upgrade the CK61. For help, see
below.
• You can use the SmartSystems Console to upgrade the CK61. For help,
see "Using the SmartSystems Console to Upgrade the Computer" on
page 105.
You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to
your desktop or laptop computer, then determine if you will upgrade both
the operating system and PSM files, just the operating system files, or just
the PSM files.
