Intermec cn2a User Guide

Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated, the CN2A 
attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CN2A 
connects to the Agent, the Agent determines whether an update 
is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file 
transfer, or configuration update. 

Install software packages and updates for the CN2A using the 
Avalanche Management Console. For help using the console, 
see the online help.

Schedule the CN2A updates or manually initiate an update 
using the Avalanche Management Console.

For more information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact 
your local Intermec representative or visit the Wavelink web site 
at www.wavelink.com.

If you install your applications as recommended in a folder in the 
\Program Files folder, you have installed your applications into 
the object store. These applications are deleted during a cold 
boot. 

To make sure your applications are reinstalled during the cold 
boot, you need to use .cab files to install applications and make 
sure the .cab files are copied to the \DiskOnChip\Persistent 
Copy\CABFiles folder. On a cold boot, the .cab files are copied 
to the \CABFiles folder in the object store where they are 
executed and deleted. The original copy remains in the 
\DiskOnChip\Persistent Copy\CABFiles folder to be installed on 
the next cold boot. 

You can manually copy each .cab file to the 
\DiskOnChip\Persistent Copy\CABFiles folder. Or you can 
customize the CN2A so that all .cab files are automatically copied 
after they are executed. You accomplish this by setting the 
PersistAfterInstall registry entry to 1.

There are 2 ways to edit registry entries: 

• You can use a registry editing program. Run the Microsoft 

eMbedded Visual C++ Remote Registry Editor on your PC, 
using ActiveSync to connect to the CN2A. Or download and 
run a third-party registry editing program on your CN2A.
