E-EQ-MX5CERG-F-ARC MX5X Reference Guide
Wavelink Avalanche Enabler Configuration
An MX5X device manufactured before October 2006 must have drivers and system files upgraded
before it can use the Avalanche Enabler functions. Please contact an LXE representative for
details on upgrading the mobile device baseline.
If the user is NOT using Wavelink Avalanche to manage their mobile device, the Enabler
should not be installed on the mobile device.
Terminology may appear different, based on your installed version:
• Avalanche Manager may be shown as the Avalanche Mobility Center Console
• Avalanche Agent may be shown as the Avalanche Mobile Device Server
• Avalanche Management Console may be shown as the Avalanche Mobility Center or the
Avalanche Mobility Center Console
Note that actual operation of the Enabler on the mobile device does not change.
Briefly . . .
The Wavelink Avalanche Enabler installation file is loaded on the mobile device by LXE;
however, the device is not configured to launch the installation file automatically. The installation
application must be run manually the first time Avalanche is used. After the installation
application is manually run, the Enabler begins normal performance. The Enabler is by default an
auto-launch application. This behavior can be modified by accessing the Avalanche Update
Settings panel through the Enabler Interface.
Note: On LXE mobile devices with integrated scanners, the Scanner Wedge has primary
control of the serial ports and must be configured properly to allow the Enabler to access
the serial ports.
Enabler Install Process
Doubletap the Avalanche Enabler CAB file in the System folder. The filename is
LXE_MX5X_ENABLER.CAB.
Enabler Uninstall Process
To remove the LXE Avalanche Enabler from a Windows CE mobile device:
1. Delete the Avalanche folder located in the System folder.
2. Warm boot the mobile device.
The Avalanche folder cannot be deleted while the Enabler is running. See Stop the Enabler
Service. If sharing errors occur while attempting to delete the Avalanche folder, warm boot the
mobile device, immediately delete the Avalanche folder, and then perform another warm boot.
Orphaned Packages
To prevent the enabler from restoring parameters, delete orphaned packages through the Wavelink
Management Console (refer to the Wavelink Avalanche Mobility User Guide for details and
instruction).
