This includes any support utilities used to configure or manage the application from the Avalanche Console. A software package includes the following components files files. These include application, Primary application configuration, and support software intended to run on a JOYA X2 device. Plug-in management tools. These include configuration utilities that allow Management Console operators to easily configure and manage the software package. Package control file. This file contains a master description of the package, including the package title, revision code, selection criteria that determines which device types can receive the package, and other information. The selection criteria can encompass many mobile device characteristics, not only JOYA X2 including mobile device models, physical characteristics, IP and/or MAC addresses, etc. Additionally, Version 3 packages may contain the following components:

40 USE AND FUNCTIONING 3 Retrievable Files. These are files you want to retrieve from the JOYA X2 and copy to the Avalanche Agent. Retrievable files are supported in the 3x Enabler. Post Install File. This feature allows you to create script files using the Package Builder. Uninstall Command. This is an executable that may be added to perform specific uninstall instructions, such as the removal of registry settings. Custom EULA. This feature allows you to include a customer user license agreement that must be made available as an HTML-

formatted License.text file. Software packages are divided into the following categories:

Control. An internally used package specific to the Avalanche Console. A network profile is an example of a control package. Application. These packages install an application which can be run from the Application Menu screen on the mobile device. An example of an application package is the Telnet Client. Support. These packages deliver files and do not add new items to the Application Menu screen on the mobile device. An example of a support package is a package that updates an existing file. Auto Run. These packages automatically run after download but do not appear in the mobile devices application list. An Enabler Update Kit is an example of an auto run package The Avalanche Package Builder is a specific tool that simplifies the package creation process. This utility performs several functions:

It gives a visual method for creating and editing software packages. It simplifies the configuration of the package through a GUI-based interface. It creates a file structure to contain all application files, support files, and plugin configuration files that are required to run and maintain the application. GUI interface provides a window into the software package structure, showing attributes that can be set for each package element. It automatically generates the package control file. It places all package files into default or configured locations in the file structure. Once the software is packaged, it can easily be transferred or distributed. Deep description of this tool is beyond the scope of this document; please refer to the documentation freely available in the Wavelink website. 3.6 DATALOGIC CONFIGURATION UTILITY The Datalogic Configuration (DLdcu) is software running on PC that allows managing the JOYA X2 parameters by using the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center Connection and a physical USB link. 41 1 3 DATALOGIC JOYA X2 Full description of this tool is beyond the scope of this document; a detailed help is embedded in the program.
