Automatic Synchronization
The AirBEAM Smart Client can be configured to launch automatically using the Misc (1) Preference tab (see
Misc(1) Tab on page B-4). When setting automatic synchronization, use the Auto-load drop-down list to specify
how the AirBEAM Smart Client should be invoked automatically when the client device is rebooted. See
Misc(1) Tab on page B-4 for instructions on enabling Auto Sync.
AirBEAM Staging
The AirBEAM Smart staging support is intended to speed up and simplify the process of staging custom or
updated operating software onto mobile devices directly from manufacturing. The staging support is part of the
AirBEAM Smart CE Client that is integrated into the mobile computer.
The AirBEAM Smart support works by defaulting the AirBEAM Client configuration to a known set of values
and launching the AirBEAM Smart package download logic. A staging environment, including an RF network,
FTP server and AirBEAM packages must be setup. Ideally a staging network and server should be setup to
match the default AirBEAM Staging client configuration.
The AirBEAM Staging support provides several benefits:
• Many devices can be simultaneously loaded over the RF network.
• The AirBEAM staging utility provides a simple single dialog user interface that is used to quickly start the
software installation process.
