Updating Multiple CS40s Using SmartSystems Console
You can use the SmartSystems console to update the operating
system or system software on your CS40. The console is part of
SmartSystems Foundation and is available from the Intermec web site
through the Intermec Developer Library (IDL). Before you can
upgrade your CS40, you need:
• SmartSystems Foundation. To download SmartSystems
Foundation, go to www.intermec.com/idl and open the Device
Management page.
• the SmartSystems bundles you want to install. The SmartSystems
bundle contains the Image Update package file. These
SmartSystems bundles are available from the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com. Go to Support > Downloads.
To update your CS40 using SmartSystems Foundation
1 Open the SmartSystems console.
2 Make sure the SmartSystems console and your CS40 are on the
same subnet and connected wirelessly or through Ethernet.
3 Make sure that power management is disabled on your CS40.
4 Download the SmartSystems bundle to your PC.
5 Double-click the SmartSystems bundle on your PC to extract the
update files to the software vault.
6 From the SmartSystems console, locate the bundle(s) to install.
7 Drag the application to each mobile computer you want to update
or to a group of mobile computers in a folder. The SmartSystems
console installs the update on your computers.
8 After the download is complete, your mobile computer begins the
update process and automatically performs a cold boot.
The mobile computer then boots into a special Update Loader
mode where the computer has no connections and is completely
unusable. This process can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 15
minutes depending on the update.
Note: The SmartSystems console indicates that your mobile
computer is offline, by displaying a red stop sign symbol, until the
mobile computer reboots and reconnects to the system.
