Provisioning
Provisioning is the process of installing software packages onto the MC17 series mobile computers.
MSP Agent
The Provisioning Client is responsible for implementing device-side provisioning activities as defined by a
policy. A policy is evaluated on the MSP 3.X system and delivered to mobile computers as job documents via
relay servers.
The MSP 3.X Provisioning Client is 100% backward compatible to prior versions of the AirBEAM Client.
Existing AirBEAM Smart users can use the MSP 3.X Provisioning Client as a 100% backward compatible
replacement for prior versions of AirBEAM Client, when used in classic AirBEAM mode with existing FTP
servers.
Existing MSP 2.X users can use the new Provisioning Client as a 100% backward compatible replacement for
previous versions of AirBEAM Client, when used in Level 2 Agent and Level 3 Agent modes with existing MSP
2.X Appliances.
For more detailed information on MSP Agent (Provisioning Client), refer to the MSP 3.X User's Guide (p/n
