Rapid Deployment Client; Airbeam Smart - Motorola MK4000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Manual

Creating a Splash Screen
The DCP for MK4000 includes the source bitmap files that create the default splash screens. You can customize
the screen by modifying these files using any of the standard windows image editors.
To create a custom splash screen:
Use an image editor to open the Splashcolor.bmp file included with the DCP for MK4000.
1.
Modify the bitmap file and save.
2.
Create a splash partition. See
3.
If you don't use the default files to create the new splash screens, be sure to preserve the image format of 320 x
216, 8 bits per pixel. Note that 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running,
the color density is 16 bits per pixel. See
splash screen using TCM.

Rapid Deployment Client

The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client facilitates software downloads to an MK4000 from a Mobility Services Platform
(MSP) Console's FTP server. The MSP Console is a web-based interface to the wireless infrastructure monitoring
and management tools provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.
When software packages transfer to the FTP server, an MK4000 on the wireless network can download them by
scanning RD bar codes encoding the location of the software packages. Multiple MK4000s can scan a single RD
bar code.
NOTE For detailed information about the Rapid Deployment Client and creating RD bar codes, refer to the MSP
3.X User's Guide.

AirBEAM Smart

The AirBEAM Smart product transfers specially designed software packages between a host server and Motorola
wireless device. Before transfer, AirBEAM Smart checks and compares package version, so that only updated
packages load.
AirBEAM Smart resides on radio-equipped client devices and allows them to request, download, and install
software, as well as to upload files and status data. A single communications session can accomplish both
download and upload of files. The ability to transfer software over a radio network can greatly reduce the logistical
efforts of client software management.
In an AirBEAM Smart system, a network-accessible host server acts as the storage point for the software transfer.
The AirBEAM Smart Client uses the industry standard FTP or TFTP file transfer protocols to check the host system
for updates and, if necessary, to transfer updated software.
