Configuring Your Printer Using Wavelink Avalanche
You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to
configure all of your wireless printers. You printer ships with the
Avalanche Enabler already loaded.
Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a warm
boot), the printer attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When
the printer connects to the Agent, the Agent determines whether an
update is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file
transfer, or configuration update.
To use Avalanche to remotely manage the printer
1 Install the configuration updates for the printer using the
Avalanche Administrative Console.
2 Schedule the printer updates or manually initiate an update using
the Avalanche Administrative Console.
For more information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact your
local Intermec representative or visit the Wavelink web site at
www.wavelink.com.
Choosing an Ethernet or Wireless Network
If you have an 802.11 wireless radio option installed in your printer,
you need to choose between an Ethernet network or a wireless 802.11
network.
You can choose the network type of your printer:
• directly from the screen.
• using commands sent from your PC.
• using SmartSystems Foundation. For help, see the previous
section “Configuring Your Printer Using SmartSystems
Foundation.”
• from the printer home page. For help, see “Configuring the
Network Type” on page 79.
• using PrintSet. For help, see “Configuring Your Printer With
PrintSet” on page 86.
