Upgrading Firmware
This section explains how to upgrade the IP30 firmware using
your mobile computer. There are two ways to upgrade your IP30:
• Using a media card.
• Using the SmartSystems Console.
You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec
web site to your desktop PC.
Upgrading Firmware Using a Media Card
To upgrade the IP30 firmware, you need:
• a media card. The CN3 uses a mini-SD card, the CK3 uses a
micro-SD card,, and the CK61 uses an SD card.
• a media card reader (optional).
You can use any file transfer method (ActiveSync, FTP server, and
so on) to copy the upgrade files to your media card. Intermec
recommends using a media card reader.

web site to your desktop PC.
2 Load the upgrade (.cab) file onto the media card.
3 Insert the media card into your mobile computer.
4 The upgrade (.cab) file will automatically install to the device.
Upgrading Using the SmartSystems Console

on your IP30. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation,
which is available from the Intermec website.

PC.

file should appear in the software vault.
