Using Wavelink Avalanche
The Wavelink Avalanche client management system uses three main
components to help you easily manage your wireless network.
Avalanche uses a hierarchical file system organized into software
packages and software collections:
• Software packages are groups of files for an application that
resides on the device.
• Software collections are logical groups of software packages.
For more information, see the Wavelink Avalanche documentation
and online help. Or, visit the Wavelink web site at
