Avalanche

Management
Console software and a Monarch 9460 printer (version 3.0 or greater firmware and
version 1.4 or higher boot loader. Purchase the Avalanche software package from the
Wavelink Corporation. Use Avalanche to manage mobile devices over networks (WAN or
LAN).
Note: The Monarch 9493 printer does not support Avalanche at this time.
There are several key elements in the Avalanche System:

Avalanche
Enabler
The 9460 printer has a built-in Avalanche Enabler that allows
communications between the printer and the Avalanche agent once
the printer is turned on. You can easily update the printer’s firmware
or configuration and receive status updates from the printer. Use
Telnet console commands to disable the enabler, if necessary. The
printer (with the enabler) is also referred to as a “client.”

Avalanche
Agent
The agent manages functions on the network (WAN or LAN) and
stores the settings and software for the clients. You can have one or
more agents throughout your network. The agent receives commands
issued by the Management Console.

Avalanche
Management
Console
Use the Management Console to issue commands to the agents.
Your System Administrator can view and manage all agents and
clients on the network by scheduling updates, identifying client
settings, configuring profiles, and checking the status
(failure/success) of updates to each client on the network.
Download our .AVA package (SSCfg.AVA) from our Web site. The package contains all
the files you need to connect with Avalanche including the SSC software.
For information about using the Avalanche Management Console, refer to your Avalanche
documentation. The following graphic shows how Avalanche works with the 9460 printer.
Files are transferred from the console to the agent through the WAN or LAN and onto the
clients.
