Wavelink Avalanche Enabler Configuration
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. Following installation, 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.
Enabler Install Process
• Doubletap the Avalanche Enabler CAB file in the System folder. The filename is
LXE_VX3X_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.
Stop the Enabler Service
To stop the Enabler from monitoring for updates from the Avalanche MC Console:
1. Open the Enabler Settings Panels by tapping the Avalanche icon on the desktop.
2. Select File | Settings. Enter the password.
3. Select the Startup/Shutdown tab.
4. Select the “Do not monitor or launch Enabler” parameter to prevent automatic monitoring
upon startup.
5. Select Stop Monitoring for an immediate shutdown of all enabler update functionality upon
exiting the user interface.
6. Click the OK button to save the changes.
7. Reboot the device if necessary.
Update Monitoring Overview
There are three methods by which the Enabler on an LXE device can communicate with the
Mobile Device Server running on the host machine.
• Wired via a serial cable between the Mobile Device Server and the LXE device.
