  36. Comments or Questions

  37. Agenda - SmartSystems Client Side Processing \SmartSystems\SSConfigDir Loads configuration files ScanToLoad – Provisioning (Lab) Load application and settings via FTP/HTTP DHCP – Provisioning Load applications via DHCP settings and TFTP SSTransferAgent (Lab) Load applications / configurations on a clean boot

  38. \SmartSystems\SSConfigDir • Sets/Gets configuration items from a file • Where do I get configuration XML? • Backup of settings on the SSConsole • Local backup on the device via Intermec Settings • Right click on a field in Intermec Settings – “View Field XML” • Auto deletes files so you can’t see results • How can I see the results? • HKLM\Software\Intermec\SSClient\SaveCfgFiles • Support for Microsoft WapProvisioning XML • http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms889539.aspx • Example XML • C:\DevConn2009\SmartSystems\SSConfigDirExamples

Scan-to-Connect / Scan-to-Load Automatically connect device to network and SmartSystems Server • Separate install • Installs S2C_Config settings in Software Vault • Only includes Communications and Core Messaging Service settings • Eliminates need to make a backup first • Scan-to-Load feature (HTTP/FTP URL) • Requires SmartSystems Client 3.44 or above • Cab files automatically placed in \CabFiles directory • XML files in the SS Config file format are automatically placed in \SmartSystems\SSConfigDir and processed. • XML AutoConfig files are processed to load other files • For more info reference http://epsfiles.intermec.com/scm_files/scm_kits/smartsystems/DHCP__Startup_WhitePaper.pdf • All other files automatically placed in \ScanToLoad directory • Preambles on device will cause an error

  40. Scan-to-Connect / Scan-to-Load

  41. Auto Configuration file format <AutoConfig> <Files> <File Src=“http://192.168.1.100:8789/c:\Smartsystems\UserFiles\AutoConfig\FeaturesDemo.cab" Dest="\temp\FeaturesDemo.cab" Run="\2577\autocab.exe" CmdLine="-FILE=&quot;\temp\FeaturesDemo.cab&quot; -FORCE -SHOW=2 -CHKRST=1“ Wait=“True”> </File> </Files> </AutoConfig>

  42. Scan-to-Load Follow Along Lab • Backup Device • Right click, Create Backup Settings • Edit Settings • Right click on backup, Start Intermec Settings • Create ScanToLoad Barcodes • Right click on backup, Print Scan-To-Connect Barcodes • Scan barcodes with device

  43. Auto Configuration file format – Example Let’s look at the file we processed in our example: C:\Devconn2009\SmartSystems\ScanToLoad\

  44. SmartSystems DHCP AutoConfiguration • Allows for loading of files/applications/settings without the use of the SmartSystems Console • Loads files/applications/settings remotely via TFTP • Requires a DHCP server that support Vendor Options • Vendor Class name (ie: Intermec.CN3E) • option 66 – TFTP server IP address • option 67 – DHCP auto configuration file name

  45. SSTransferAgent • Loads sspb/applications/settings on clean boot • Note: No SSPB on a CN50 • Extend with \Flash File Store\UserAutoInstall • Install your own applications and settings • User defined _sstransferagent.xml file • Allows for settings to be loaded once or on every boot • \SmartSystems\BootSettings.xml • HKLM\Software\Intermec\SSClient\BootSettings • Logs results to \SSTransferAgent.txt

  46. _SSTransferAgent.xml – File Format <Devices> <Device Type=“” Family=“” Model=“” Boot=“”> <Files SrcDir=“”> <File SrcDir=”” SrcName=”” DestDir=”” DestName=”” OS=“” ConfigString=“” Run=“” CmdLine=“” StartIn=“”> </File> </Files> <Commands> <DeleteFile File=“”/> <DeleteDir Dir=“”/> <CopyDir SrcDir=“” DestDir=“”/> <SetRegKey KeyName=“” ValueName=“” Value=“” Type=“”/> </Commands> </Device> </Devices>

  47. _SSTransferAgent.xml – File Format <Devices> <Device Type=“C” Family=“K” Model=“3” Boot=“Warm”> </Device> <Device Type=“C” Family=“N” Model=“*”> </Device> </Devices> Required Attributes Type, Family, Model - May use “*” as wild card match Optional Attribute Boot – Values of “Warm” or “Cold” Default of none

  48. _SSTransferAgent.xml – File Format <Devices> <Device Type=“C” Family=“N” Model=“3” Boot=“Warm”> <Files SrcDir=“\SmartSystems\UserAutoInstall”> <File SrcName=”myFile.cab” DestDir=”\temp” DestName=”myFile.cab” OS=“PocketPC” ConfigString=“CN3*”/> <File DestName=”wceload.exe” DestDir=“\windows” OS=“PocketPC” ConfigString=“CN3E*” Run=“true” CmdLine= /noui \temp\myFile.cab” StartIn=“\”/> </Files> </Device> </Devices> Attribute Information SrcName – If present, will attempt a copy of the file OS – “PocketPC” or “WINCE” Run – If “true” or “NoWait”, will run the program specified by “DestName” ConfigString – Hardware configuration string with single wild card “?” and multiple wild card “*”
