Chapter 2— Configuring the Terminal
Trakker Antares 2475 Vehicle-Mount Terminal User’s Manual 27
Use the Wavelink Avalanche Manager
You can send configuration information to multiple terminals in your RF
network using the Wavelink Avalanche client management system and the
Intermec Configuration Utility. For help, see Chapter 2, “Configuring and
Managing the Terminals,” in the 2400 Family system manual.
About the Configurations
The terminal uses three configurations: current, active, and default.
Separate current and active configurations allow you to control the active
configuration and let each operator change the current configuration, such
as changing the beep volume.
Configuration Descriptions
Configuration Description
Current This configuration, also called the runtime configuration, uses
the configuration that is saved in RAM. When you change a
parameter by using the menu system, by scanning a bar code, by
sending it from a host application, or by sending it from the
Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X, the terminal updates the current
configuration. The changes to the current configuration are lost
when you boot or reset the terminal.
Active When you update the flash memory, the terminal copies the
current configuration to the active configuration. The active
configuration is the configuration that the terminal uses when
you boot or reset the terminal.
Default This configuration is the factory default configuration. To restore
the default configuration, see “Restoring the Terminal’s Default
Configuration” in Chapter 2 of the 2400 Family system manual.
Configuring the Terminal With the Menu System
The TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System is a menu-driven application
that lets you configure the terminal, manage files, view system
information, and run diagnostics. You can access the TRAKKER Antares
2400 Menu System while running any application.
When you are using the menu system, you may not see a parameter until
you set a value for another key field. For example, EOM is a key field
when you configure the Configurable protocol. That is, several fields are
invalid (do not appear) until you enable EOM. You also may not see a
parameter if your terminal does not support a particular feature.
