Staging and Provisioning 9 - 7
On-Demand Staging
The MSP 3.X 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 mobile computer 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 mobile computer 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 mobile computer is connected via ActiveSync.
Ethernet Connection Mode
This mode uses the IP connection that is established when a mobile computer is inserted into an Ethernet cradle
that is plugged into the Ethernet LAN. Some mobile computers come ready to use with Ethernet cradles while
others require software to be installed and configured before an Ethernet cradle connection can be established.
The RD Client does not do anything to install Ethernet cradle software or configure or establish an Ethernet cradle
connection, but does use one if it exists. The On-Demand Profile Server must be running on a host computer that
is on the same subnet to which the Ethernet cradle is connected.
Already existing IP Connection Mode
This mode uses any IP connection that is already active on the mobile computer. 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 mobile computer. 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 Motorola WLAN adapters. The RD Client attempts to configure and establish
WLAN IP connections using pre-defined Motorola 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.
To perform On-Demand Staging:
1. In the App Launcher menu, press the center function key to launch the RD Client. The Scan Barcodes To Deploy
window displays.
