• Use Avalanche network profile – enabled
• Manage wireless settings – disabled
To configure the Avalanche Enabler management of the network and wireless settings:
1. Open the Enabler Settings Panels by tapping the Enabler icon on the desktop.
2. Select File > Settings.
3. Select the Adapters tab.
4. Choose settings for the Use Manual Settings parameter.
5. Choose settings for Manage Network Settings, Manage Wireless Settings and Use Avalanche Network Profile.
6. Click the OK button to save the changes.
7. Reboot the device.

Preparing a Device for Remote Management

Two additional utilities are necessary for remote management.
1. The Remote Management Utility (RMU) must be installed on all mobile devices first – then you can control mobile device
reboot, storage RAM adjustment, real-time updates and Avalanche Enabler properties. If the RMU is not already installed
on the HX3, see Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System Baseline. If in doubt, verify RMU.CE.CAB exists in the \Sys-
tem folder. If the RMU.CE.CAB file is present when the Enabler is installed, the RMU is also installed. Important: If the OS
package includes double-byte Asian fonts, the storage RAM property of the RMU must be higher than the default value
(40MB). If the amount of storage RAM is too low, the Enabler returns a "Mobile unit out of resources" error. To determine
the minimum value required, inspect the RMU.StorageRAM>=nn parameter in the Criteria field for the OS package. Gener-
ally, this setting should be approximately 40 MB above the amount of RAM in use on the device for a standard OS and 50MB
above the amount of RAM in use for an OS with Asian fonts. For example, if after installing all the software, the device
shows 5MB in use, this setting should be about 45MB for a standard OS, 55 MB for an Asian font OS.
2. Use the Wireless Configuration Application (WCA) when you want to remotely manage the Summit client device. This utility
is downloaded and installed in addition to the Remote Management Utility. The WCA is included when the Summit radio
driver software is updated. The WCA is automatically installed when the radio driver is updated.
If the Remote Management Utility (RMU) is not present on the HX3, see Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System
Baseline.

Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System Baseline

This procedure assumes the Avalanche Enabler is already installed on the HX3 and is already in communication with the
Avalanche MC Console.
Part 1 – Bootstrapping the RMU
1. Install the RMUCEbt package into the Avalanche MC Console. Do NOT include the Reboot option as part of the
configuration (i.e., the Reboot button in the "Reboot Options" branch must be unbolded).
2. Enable ONLY the RMUCEbt package in the Avalanche MC Console and update the devices. The RMU is downloaded
and automatically installed.
3. Disable the RMUCEbt package in the Avalanche MC Console.
4. For each device, double-click on the device to open the Client Controls dialog box.
5. Check the Delete Orphaned Packages check box and click the Update Now button.
6. After the sync completes, uncheck Delete Orphaned Packages and close the dialog box.
Part 2 – Installing Packages
1. Enable the RMUCE package in the Avalanche MC Console.
2. Enable all remaining packages and send them down. It is important that you include the new OS package in this group
(be sure to include the Enabler). If the radio is to be managed remotely, it is important to include the radio package in
this group so that after the reboot the radio can automatically associate. If the radio package is not sent, the device
loses connection to the network and manual configuration of the radio parameters is required.
