Wavelink Avalanche Enabler Configuration
An MX3X device manufactured before October 2006 must have drivers and system files upgraded
before it can use the Avalanche Enabler functions. Please contact an LXE representative for
details on upgrading the mobile device baseline.
If the user is NOT using Wavelink Avalanche to manage their mobile device, the Enabler
should not be installed on the mobile device.
Briefly . . .
The Wavelink Avalanche Enabler installation file is loaded on the mobile device by LXE;
however, the device is not configured to launch the installation file automatically. The installation
application must be run manually the first time Avalanche is used. After the installation
application is manually run, a reboot is necessary for the Enabler to begin normal performance.
Following this reboot, the Enabler will by default be an auto-launch application. This behavior can
be modified by accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel through the Enabler Interface.
Note: LXE recommends serial communication with an MX3X be performed using the serial port
on the MX3X endcap rather than using a docking cradle serial port.
Note: On LXE mobile devices with integrated scanners, the Scanner Wedge has primary
control of the serial ports and must be configured properly to allow the Enabler to access
the serial ports.
Enabler Install Process
• Doubletap the Avalanche Enabler CAB file in the System folder. The filename is
LXE_MX3X_ENABLER.CAB.
• Warm boot the mobile device.
Enabler Uninstall Process
To remove the LXE Avalanche Enabler from a Windows CE mobile device:
• Delete the Avalanche folder located in the System folder.
• Warm boot the mobile device.
The Avalanche folder cannot be deleted while the Enabler is running. See Stop the Enabler
Service. If sharing errors occur while attempting to delete the Avalanche folder, warm boot the
mobile device, immediately delete the Avalanche folder, and then perform another warm boot.
Orphaned Packages
To prevent the enabler from restoring parameters, delete orphaned packages through the Wavelink
Management Console (refer to the Wavelink Avalanche Manager User Guide for details and
instruction).
