On-Demand Staging
The MSP 3.0 RD Client also enables staging without having to scan bar codes through the use of On-Demand
Staging (Electronic Staging).
When using On-Demand Staging, the RD Client pulls staging profiles directly from an On-Demand Profile
Server over some form of pre-configured or automatically-configured IP connection. The following types of IP
connection modes are currently supported for Electronic Staging:
ActiveSync Connection Mode
This mode uses the IP connection that is established when the MC18 is directly connected (via a USB cable,
serial cable or cradle) to a host computer running ActiveSync. The most common scenario would be where the
On-Demand Profile Server is running on the host computer to which the MC18 is connected via ActiveSync. It
would, however, also work with the On-Demand Profile Server running on any other host computer that is on
the same subnet as the host computer to which the MC18 is connected via ActiveSync.
Already existing IP Connection Mode
This mode uses any IP connection that is already active on the MC18. This could be a direct Ethernet port (if
available), or a WLAN connection that was configured and established before the
RD Client was launched. It
could also be any other form of IP connection that might be available on the MC18. The
RD Client does not do
anything to configure or establish such connections, but uses them if they exist. The On-Demand Profile
Server must be running on a host computer that is on the same subnet that is accessible from the connection.
Well-known WLAN Connection Mode
This mode works only on supported Symbol Technologies WLAN adapters. The RD Client attempts to
configure and establish WLAN IP connections using pre-defined Symbol Technologies WLAN settings. If the
RD Client is able to successfully configure and establish such a connection, and if an On-Demand Profile
Server is running on a host computer that is on the same subnet that is accessible from the connection, then
Electronic Staging proceeds using that connection.
Use this procedure to perform On-Demand Staging:
1. In the App Launcher menu, launch the RD Client. The Scan Barcodes To Deploy window displays.
