Upgrading the CN50 Using SmartSystems Foundation
You can use the SmartSystems console to upgrade the operating
system on your CN50. The console is part of SmartSystems
Foundation and is available from the Intermec web site through the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL). Before you can upgrade your
CN50, you need:
• SmartSystems Foundation. To download SmartSystems
Foundation, go to www.intermec.com/idl and open the Device
Management page.
• the device upgrade .exe file. This file is available from the Intermec
web site at www.intermec.com. Go to Support > Downloads.
Make sure the file you select is for your language.
To upgrade the computer using SmartSystems Foundation
1 Install SmartSystems Foundation on your PC and open the
SmartSystems console.
2 Make sure the SmartSystems console and CN50 are on the same
subnet.
3 Make sure your CN50 is either in a communications dock or
charging dock or that power management is disabled.
4 Download the device upgrade .exe file to your PC.
5 Double-click the .exe file on your PC. An InstallShield application
starts and walks you through the process of extracting the
upgrade files to the default location.
6 From the SmartSystems console, locate the device upgrade to
install.
7 Drag the application to each CN50 you want to upgrade or to a
group of CN50s in a folder.The SmartSystems console installs the
upgrade on your computers.
Note: Do not change the default location where InstallShield
extracts the files. The SmartSystems console requires the files to
be in this location.
