Package Synchronization (Update/Delete).
The Avalanche Agent and Enabler both use the concept of a “package” to transfer updates down to
the mobile device. Each package is a collection of files that the mobile unit needs to handle. Each
package can be either stored or executed. See below for Zebra printer specific applications of each
file action.
File Storage
When a file is sent to the printer as part of an update package and is flagged for storage, it is simply
written to the printer’s internal file system. No other processing is involved.
For example, if the image file “flower.pcx” is flagged for storage, the image file is written to the file
system and is available for use to be printed on a label.
File Execution
When a file is sent to the printer as part of an update package and is flagged for execution, the
contents of that file are fed into the printer’s command interpreter. This functionality can be used to
modify any and all of the printer’s internal parameters, execute a CPCL “Set/Get/Do” command, or
remotely print labels.
Ping
A user can ping Avalanche enabled mobile devices from the Avalanche Administrative Console.
Update Now
An Administrative Console user can force a device to immediately perform an update.
Text Messaging
From Administrative Console a user can create and send text messages to Avalanche enabled mobile
printers. The message will show up immediately on the printer’s LCD, and/or print out. In addition the
printer can be set to beep upon receiving a message. Print, display and beep options are configurable
by the user.
You must have the latest version of Avalanche installed on your network for the following parameters to
work. Download the most recent Wavelink Avalanche Agent & Console Manager setup executable from
the Wavelink Web site at http://www.wavelink.com and install both the Avalanche Agent and Console
