Update Monitoring Overview - Honeywell Thor VM1 Reference Manual

Update Monitoring Overview

There are three methods by which the Enabler on the Thor VM1 can communicate with the Mobile Device Server running on the
host machine.
Wired via a serial cable between the Mobile Device Server PC and the Thor VM1.
l
Wired via a USB connection, using ActiveSync, between the Mobile Device Server PC and the Thor VM1.
l
Wirelessly via the Thor VM1 2.4GHz radio and an access point
l
After installing the Enabler on the Thor VM1 the Enabler searches for a Mobile Device Server, first by polling all available serial
ports and then over the wireless network.
The Enabler running on the Thor VM1 will attempt to access COM1, COM2, and COM3. "Agent not found" will be reported if the
Mobile Device Server is not located or a serial port is not present or available (COM port settings can be verified using the bar
code wedge panels on the Thor VM1).
The wireless connection is made using the default wireless [radio] interface on the mobile device therefore the Thor VM1 must
be actively communicating with the network for this method to succeed.
If a Mobile Device Server is found, the Enabler automatically attempts to apply all wireless and network settings from the
active profile. The Enabler also automatically downloads and processes all available packages.
If the Enabler does not automatically detect the Mobile Device Server, the IP address of the Mobile Device Server can be
entered on the Connect tab of the Enabler setup. Please see Enabler Configuration for details.
