Copying a Secure Digital Storage Card

Using Wavelink Avalanche

The CN2B Computer has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network
via 802.11b/g or WAN (Wireless Access Network). This allows connections
to the CN2B Computer to perform file transfers or computer management
functions. Another benefit is you can create FTP scripts to automate the
process of copying files to the CN2B Computer. This option is good for
when a large number of CN2B Computers need updating. See Chapter 7,
"Programming" for information.
Use these steps to install an application using a Secure Digital storage card:
1 Suspend the CN2B Computer, remove the battery from the CN2B
Computer, then remove its Secure Digital storage card.
2 Using a Secure Digital card reader connected to your desktop PC, insert
the Secure Digital card into your card reader.
3 Create a "\CabFiles" directory on the Secure Digital card, then copy
(build into cabfiles) your application, data files, and all required DLLs
and drivers into this directory.
4 Remove the Secure Digital card from your card reader and reinstall it
into the CN2B Computer.
5 Perform a warm-boot on the CN2B Computer to install these files.
You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to install
applications on all of your wireless CN2B Computers.
The wireless CN2B Computer ships with the Avalanche Enabler already
loaded on it. The Avalanche Enabler is configured to activate automatically
(typically on a warm boot).
Note: If you manually activate the Avalanche Enabler on the CN2B Com-
puter, you may be prompted for a password when you exit the Avalanche
Enabler. The default password is leave.
When the Avalanche Enabler is activated, the CN2B Computer attempts to
connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CN2B Computer connects to
the Agent, the Agent determines whether an update is available and imme-
diately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.
