Update Monitoring Overview

There are three methods by which the Enabler on the Thor VM2 can communicate with
the Mobile Device Server running on the host machine.
•
•
•
After installing the Enabler on the Thor VM2 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 VM2 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 VM2).
The wireless connection is made using the default wireless [radio] interface on the
mobile device therefore the Thor VM2 must be actively communicating with the net-
work for this method to succeed.
If a Mobile Device Server is found, the Enabler automatically attempts to apply all wire-
less and network settings from the active profile. The Enabler also automatically down-
loads 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. See
Enabler Configuration

Mobile Device Wireless and Network Settings

Once the connection to the Mobile Device Server is established, the Thor VM2 Enabler
attempts to apply all network and wireless settings contained in the active profile.
The success of the application of settings is dependent upon the local configuration of
control parameters for the Enabler.
These local parameters cannot be overridden from the Avalanche MC Console.
The default Enabler adapter control settings are:
•
