Installing Applications Using the FTP Server
The CK3 has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network through
Ethernet, 802.11 b/g, or Bluetooth communications. You can use the
server to transfer your application file to the computer. Another
benefit of using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to
automate the process of copying your files to the computer. This
option is useful when you need to send files to a large number of
computers.
The easiest way to manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu
within iConnect.
To enable the FTP menu
• Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\ShowFTPMenu
The iFTP menu is available the next time your start iConnect.
To manage the state of the FTP server
• Modify these existing registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpAutoStart
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpHeartbeat
Where 1 = enable and 0 = disable.
Installing Applications Using Wavelink Avalanche
You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to
install applications on all of your wireless CK3 computers. The CK3
ships with the Avalanche Enabler.
Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a reset), the
CK3 attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CK3
connects to the agent, the agent determines whether an update is
available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or
configuration update.
Note: If you manually activate the Avalanche Enabler on the CK3, you
may be prompted for a password when you exit the Avalanche
Enabler. The default password is
leave
