Agenda - SmartSystems Client Side Processing

\SmartSystems\SSConfigDirLoads configuration files

ScanToLoad – Provisioning (Lab)Load application and settings via FTP/HTTP

DHCP – ProvisioningLoad applications via DHCP settings and TFTP

SSTransferAgent (Lab)Load applications / configurations on a clean boot


\SmartSystems\SSConfigDir

Sets/Gets configuration items from a file Where do I get configuration XML?

Backup of settings on the SSConsoleLocal backup on the device via Intermec SettingsRight 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

Auto Configuration file format – Example

Let’s look at the file we processed in our example:

C:\Devconn2009\SmartSystems\ScanToLoad\


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


SSTransferAgent

Loads sspb/applications/settings on clean bootNote: No SSPB on a CN50

Extend with \Flash File Store\UserAutoInstallInstall your own applications and settings User defined _sstransferagent.xml file

Allows for settings to be loaded once or on every boot\SmartSystems\BootSettings.xmlHKLM\Software\Intermec\SSClient\BootSettings

Logs results to \SSTransferAgent.txt

SetRegKeyType – DWORD, otherwise will assume REG_SZOnly sets DWORDs and REG_SZs. Only sets values under HKLM.

CopyDir – Yes, it does copy the sub directories


_sstransferagent.xml XML to run in a settings file every time the device is booted.

<?xml version="1.0"?><Devices> <Device Type="C" Family="N" Model="3“ Boot=“Warm”> <Files SrcDir="\Flash File Store\UserAutoInstall"> <File SrcName="Settings.xml" DestName="BootSettings.xml“ DestDir="\

Lab – SSTransferAgent

This lab will use the SSTransferAgent to load a cab file, and have an executable start at boot time.

Sample files C:\DevConn2009\SmartSystems\SSTransferAgent directory

Create a _ssTransferAgent.xml file to load a cab file

Copy the FeaturesDemo.cab file to the \temp directory and process it in with wceloadCopy the FeaturesDemo.lnk file to the \windows\Startup

Clean boot

If the FeaturesDemo program does not start, look at the \SSTransferAgent.txt output file


Lab _ssTransferAgent.xml
