Update Monitoring Overview
There are three methods by which the Enabler on an LXE device can communicate with the
Mobile Device Server running on the host machine.
• Wired via a serial cable between the Moble Device Server PC and the LXE device.
• Wired via a USB connection, using ActiveSync, between the Moble Device Server PC and the
mobile device.
• Wirelessly via the 2.4GHz network card and an access point
Following a mobile device reboot, the Enabler searches for a Moble Device Server, first by polling
all available serial ports and then over the wireless network. The designation of the mobile device
to the Avalanche CE Manager is LXE_MX5X.
The Enabler running on LXE Windows CE devices will attempt to access COM1, COM2, and
COM3. An Agent not found message will be displayed if the agent is not located or a serial port is
not present or available (COM port settings can be verified using the LXE scanner applet in the
Control Panel).
The wireless connection is made using the default network interface on the mobile device,
therefore the device must be actively communicating with the network for this method to succeed.
If a Moble Device Server or Avalanche Mobility Center Console is found, the Enabler will
automatically attempt to apply all wireless and network settings from the active profile. The
Enabler will also automatically download and process all available packages.
