Sending the Image Updates Silently
If you want to automatically download and send update packages to
your mobile computers, you can purchase a Provisioning license. The
silent updates do not require any user intervention and begin when
you choose to have the update process start. SmartSystem Foundation
users are notified when update packages are released so that they can
download then and update their Intermec computers. For more
information, see the SmartSystems Foundation Help.
Updating Individual Mobile Computers
You can download update packages from your PC to the mobile
computer using Microsoft ActiveSync or any other file transfer
method you choose. If you need to download ActiveSync or the
Windows Mobility Center, go to
www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted.
Note: The SmartSystems console indicates that your mobile
computer is offline, by displaying a red stop symbol, until the
