With a Provisioning license, SmartSystems can automatically push
software, configuration settings, and other files to the computers. The
license also enables ScanNGo, which makes connecting additional
computers to your wireless network as easy as scanning bar codes. To
purchase a Provisioning license, contact your local Intermec
representative.
How to Develop and Install Applications
Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the
mobile computer. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java,
and web components grouped by functionality that you can use to
create applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the
Intermec website at www.intermec.com/idl.
How To Package Your Application
After you develop your application, you need to package it for
installation on your mobile computer. For very simple applications,
the executable file may be the only file you need to deploy. Typically,
you will have a set of files to install. Intermec recommends using
cabinet (.cab) files to install more complex applications. The computer
uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party
.cab files.
You can have your .cab file place the application in any of these
memory locations on the computer:
• Object store (root directory)
• The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the
Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot or if you reflash
the operating system image.
• The optional microSD card. Depending on available disk space,
you may want to consider installing your application files on the
microSD card. Using a card creates the Storage Card folder on the
computer.
