Using the SmartSystems Console
To use SmartSystems Console to install an application file
1 Download the file from the Intermec web site, unzip it on your desktop.
2 From the SmartSystems Console, drag-and-drop the application onto
each CN3 Computer discovered in your network.
To download SmartSystems Foundation, go to www.intermec.com/idl and
open the Device Management page. For information on using the Smart-
Systems Console, see its online help.
Updating the System Software
When you upgrade your CN3 Computer, you are updating the operating
system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files.
The SSPB files are stored on the DiskOnChip, and deliver Intermec Value-
Added (IVA) functionality such as data collection, unit configuration and
diagnostics, and Intermec’s wireless security suite. As new features are
added to these components, you can upgrade your SSPB files without need-
ing to upgrade the operating system image. Similarly, features added to the
operating system images do not affect the functionality of the SSPB, and
you can choose to upgrade only the operating system image.
There are two ways to upgrade the CN3 Computer:
• You can use a mini-SD card to upgrade the CN3 Computer. For help,
see below.
• You can use the SmartSystems Console to upgrade the CN3 Computer.
For help, see “Using the SmartSystems Console to Upgrade the CN3
Computer” on page 76.
You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to
your desktop or laptop computer, then determine if you will upgrade both
the operating system and SSPB files, just the operating system files, or just
the SSPB files.
You can use the SmartSystems Console to drag-and-drop Intermec applica-
tions onto your CN3 Computers. The CN3 Computer ships with the
SmartSystems client loaded on it. The console is part of SmartSystems
Foundation and is available from the Intermec web site.
