Broadcast.

If your mobile device is associated on the network, the

device will attempt to connect to the Mobile Device Server on the local
subnet automatically each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typi-
cally on reboot or Enabler start-up).

Update the Server Address on the Enabler.

If the mobile

device is not on the same subnet as the Mobile Device Server, you can
manually enter the IP address of the server on the Enabler, forcing the
Enabler to contact the server and receive updates.

Scan to Configure.

You can use the Scan to Configure utility in

Avalanche SE to create barcode profiles that are generated from a net-
work profile. You can then print the profiles as barcodes and scan them
using the Scan to Config option in the Enabler

File

menu. The network

information from the scanned barcodes is stored in the Avalanche profile
on the Enabler. For information about creating barcode profiles, refer to
the Avalanche SE User Guide.

Cradle the mobile device.

If the mobile device is not associated

with your network, place the mobile device in its cradle and connect to
the Mobile Device Server using ActiveSync. If you have entered the
Mobile Device Server IP address on the Enabler, you can use any PC on
your network. If you have not entered the address, the cradle and Active-
Sync must be connected to the machine where the Avalanche SE server
is installed.

Once the mobile device connects it will appear in the

Mobile Device Inventory

tab. By configuring the profiles, you can update the mobile device with net-
work settings, software packages and other configurations.
