Chapter 3. Using the System
Figure 3-2. WRAP Remote Management Architecture
A management action is performed using the following procedure:
1. A customer system prepares the management packet (*.wpk).
2. The management packet is delivered to Access Server, to the packaging daemon’s inbox di-
rectory. You can currently use Bluetooth, SCP, SFTP and plain FTP to do this. The packet can
also be transmitted using a USB memory dongle, Compact Flash memory card or through
the WWW Setup interface.
3. The Access Server packaging daemon processes the management packet, possibly generat-
ing a reply packet.
4. (Optional) The reply packet is delivered to the customer system.
3.5.5.2. Management Packet Format
The package name must be of format name.wpk, where "name" can be user defined.
Package must be a tar archive that is compressed with gzip (such as files named *.tar.gz or
*.tgz).
The package must contain a package information file called wpkg.pif in the package root (the
file contents are described later), otherwise the built-in defaults for wpkg.pif are used.
All other files, if any exist, should be data files, scripts or executables required for the man-
agement operation.
