Installing The Enabler; Enabler Uninstall Process; Stop The Enabler Service - Honeywell MX7 Reference Manual

Installing the Enabler

CE devices have the Avalanche Enabler installation files loaded, but not installed, on the mobile device when it is shipped. The
installation files are located in the \System folder on CE devices.
An MX7 manufactured before April 2007 must have some software components upgraded before they can use the Avalanche
Enabler functions described in this reference guide. Contact your
baseline.
Note: Important: If the user is NOT using Wavelink Avalanche to manage their mobile device(s), the
Enabler should not be installed on the mobile device(s). Doing so results in unnecessary delays when
booting the device.
The Avalanche Enabler installation file LXE_ENABLER.CAB is loaded on the MX7 by Honeywell; however, the device is not
configured to launch the Enabler installation file automatically. The installation application must be run manually the first time
Avalanche is used.
Note: Older versions of the Enabler may have a device specific name such as LXE_XXX_ENABLER.CAB.
After installation, the Enabler runs as a background application monitoring for updates. This behavior can be modified by
accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel through the Enabler Interface.
The RMU.CE.CAB file is placed on the device during manufacturing in the \System\RMU folder.
During the Enabler installation process, the Enabler checks for the RMU.CE.CAB file in the \System folder.
If present, it assumes the RMU.CE.CAB file is already installed and continues.
l
If the file RMU.CE.CAB file is not present, it looks for the file in the \System\RMU folder.
l
If present, the Enabler copies the file to the \System folder and installs it.
l
At this point, the OS will automatically install the Remote Management Utility (RMU) after the MX7 reboots.

Enabler Uninstall Process

To remove the Avalanche Enabler from the MX7:
Delete the Avalanche folder located in the \System directory.
l
Warm boot the MX7.
l
The Avalanche folder cannot be deleted while the Enabler is running. See
If sharing errors occur while attempting to delete the Avalanche folder, warm boot the MX7, immediately delete the Avalanche
folder, and then perform another warm boot.
