Using iLonProxyPocket
The iLonProxyPocket application is used to transmit the device file created with the Street Lighting
Helper program to the SmartServer. The iLonProxyPocket application serves as proxy for HTTP
requests (Web server/SOAP) between the Pocket PC and the SmartServer.
You can transmit SOAP requests using either a serial connection to the console port on the
. SmartServer or a LAN connection. Note that if you use a LAN connection, you need to connect the
Pocket PC to the LAN via a Wi-Fi connection, and you need to attach an external GSM modem to th e
SmartServer and setup a GPRS dial-out connection on the modem in order for the SmartServer to
connect to the LAN.
The following section describe how to configure the iLonProxyPocket application on the Pocket PC
based on whether you are using a serial or LAN connection to transmit SOAP requests from the Pocket
PC to the
SmartServer.
