Sending Silent Update Packages to the CN50
If you want to automatically download and send update packages to
your computers, you can purchase a SmartSystems AutoDeploy
License. The silent updates do not require any user intervention and
begin when you choose to have the update process start. SmartSystems
Foundation users are notified when update packages are released so
that they can download them and update their Intermec computers.
For more information, see the SmartSystems Foundation Help.
You can download update packages from your PC to the CN50 using
Microsoft ActiveSync or any other file transfer method you choose. If
you need to download ActiveSync or the Windows Mobility Center, go
to www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted.
To update an individual computer:
1 Download the Image Update packages you want to install from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/. Go to Support >
Downloads.
2 Transfer the Image Update packages from your PC to the CN50.
3 On your CN50, tap Start > Programs > File Explorer and navigate
to the location of the Image Update package.
4 Double-tap the package to install it. Your CN50 begins the update
process and automatically performs a cold boot.
The CN50 boots into a special Update Loader mode where the
computer has no connections and is completely unusable. This
process can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes
depending on the update.
5 After the update is complete, the CN50 cold boots again. When a
confirmation dialog box appears requesting user input, dismiss it.
