Upgrading the CN4 Using SmartSystems Foundation
You can use the SmartSystems Foundation console to upgrade the
operating system on your CN4. For information on using
SmartSystems Foundation, see
“Managing the CN4 With
SmartSystems Foundation” on page 44 .
To upgrade the CN4 using SmartSystems Foundation
1 On your desktop PC, open the SmartSystems console.
2 Make sure the SmartSystems console and the CN4 are on the same
subnet.
3 Make sure the CN4 is either in a communications dock or
charging dock, or the device power management is disabled.
4 Download the device upgrade file to your PC as described in the
previous section, “Locating Upgrade Files.”
5 Double-click the .exe file on your PC. An InstallShield application
starts and walks you through the process of extracting the
upgrade files to the default location.
6 From the SmartSystems console, locate the device upgrade to
install.
7 Drag the file to each CN4 you want to upgrade or to a group of
CN4s in a folder. The SmartSystems console installs the upgrade
on your computers.
After the download is complete, your CN4 replaces the operating
system and automatically performs a cold boot.
Note: Do not change the default location where InstallShield
extract the files. The SmartSystems console requires the files to be
in this location.
Note: The SmartSystems console displays a red stop sign symbol,
indicating that the CN4 is offline, until the CN4 reboots and
reconnects to the system.
