Managing the CK3 Using SmartSystems
Foundation
Intermec's SmartSystems™ Foundation is a software platform that
lets you manage all of your SmartSystems-enabled devices, including
the CK3, simultaneously from a central server. The SmartSystems
console displays all SmartSystems-enabled computers and peripherals
in your network.
Through the console, you can:
• drag-and-drop configuration bundles, operating system updates,
and firmware upgrades to multiple computers.
• save configuration settings from a single device and deploy those
settings to many devices simultaneously.
• remotely change settings on SmartSystems-enabled computers
and peripherals.
The SmartSystems console can report on asset locations and battery
status, making it easier to manage your mobile devices.
With an AutoDeploy license, SmartSystems can automatically push
software, configuration settings, and other files to connected CK3s.
The license also enables Scan-to-Connect, which makes connecting
additional CK3s to your wireless network as easy as reading bar codes.
SmartSystems Foundation can be downloaded at no charge from the
Intermec web site. For more information, visit
www.intermec.com\SmartSystems. To purchase an AutoDeploy
license, contact your local Intermec sales representative.
Connecting to a PC
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to establish a connection between
your CK3 and PC. ActiveSync lets you transfer files, synchronize files,
remotely debug, and perform other device management activities.
ActiveSync is a free application available from the Microsoft web site.
