The Avalanche Enabler installation file HSM_ENABLER.CAB (older software loads may
use LXE_ENABLER.CAB instead) is loaded on the Thor VM2 by Honeywell; however, the
device is not configured to launch the Enabler installation file automatically. The instal-
lation application must be run manually the first time Avalanche is used.
After installation, the Enabler runs as a background application monitoring for updates.
This behavior can be modified by accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel
through the Enabler interface.
This behavior can be modified by accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel

The RMU.CE.CAB file is placed on the device during manufacturing in the \Sys-
tem\RMU folder.
During the Enabler installation process, the Enabler checks for the RMU.CE.CAB file in
the \System folder.
• If present, it assumes the RMU.CE.CAB file is already installed and continues.
• If the file RMU.CE.CAB file is not present, it looks for the file in the \System\RMU
folder.
• If present, the Enabler copies the file to the \System folder and installs it.
At this point, the OS will automatically install the Remote Management Utility (RMU)
after the Thor VM2 reboots.
