Using Wavelink Avalanche to Upgrade System Baseline

This procedure assumes the Avalanche Enabler is already installed on the HX2 and is already in communication with the
Avalanche MC Console.

Part 1 – Bootstrapping the RMU

1. Install the RMUCEbt package into the Avalanche MC Console. Do NOT include the Reboot option as part of the

configuration (i.e., the

Reboot button

in the “Reboot Options” branch must be unbolded).

2. Enable ONLY the RMUCEbt package in the Avalanche MC Console and update the devices. The RMU is downloaded

and automatically installed.

Disable

the RMUCEbt package in the Avalanche MC Console.

4. For each device,

double-click

on the device to open the Client Controls dialog box.

5. Check the

Delete Orphaned Packages

checkbox and click the

Update Now

button.

6. After the sync completes, uncheck

Delete Orphaned Packages

and close the dialog box.

Part 2 – Installing Packages

Enable

the RMUCE package in the Avalanche MC Console.

Enable

all remaining packages and send them down. It is important that you include the new OS package in this group

(be sure to include the Enabler). If the radio is to be managed remotely, it is important to include the radio package in this
group so that after the reboot the radio can automatically associate. If the radio package is not sent, the device loses
connection to the network and manual configuration of the radio parameters is required.

3. Set the Reboot setting for the OS package to

Auto

4. After all packages are downloaded (this may take several minutes) the Remote Management Utility (RMU) is launched.

The RMU processes all the downloaded packages. If the radio package was downloaded, the Wireless Configuration
Application (WCA) is launched to process the new radio settings.

5. After the RMU finishes installing all the packages, the device is automatically coldbooted (assuming the Reboot setting

was set to Auto in Step 3).

6. After the Device completes the coldboot, the RMU is autoinstalled by the OS and the previously downloaded packages

are restored. Assuming at least one package has registry settings that were restored, and that package was set to
reboot (either auto or prompt), the RMU then performs an automatic warmboot.

7. After the warmboot, the device is configured.

8. If the device will no longer be monitored by Wavelink Avalanche, you may remove the Enabler to eliminate boot up

delays, if desired. Even if the Enabler is removed, the installed packages and their configurations continue to be
restored with every reboot by the RMU.

Version Information on Mobile Devices

The VersionInfo.EXE file is included in the Remote Management Utility package downloaded to the HX2. It is stored in the
\Program Files\RMU folder. When VersionInfo.EXE is opened, a dialog box is presented to the HX2 user displaying:

Remote Management Utility (RMU) version

Wireless Configuration Application (WCA) version

VersionInfo displays the version for each utility only after that utility has been executed at least once.
