Field Description
Auto-retry Use this field to specify whether the AirBEAM Smart Client automatically retries if there is a failure
during the synchronization process.
If enabled, the AirBEAM Smart Client displays a popup dialog indicating a retry attempt. The popup
dialog is displayed for the number of seconds specified in the Retry Delay field.
The valid values for this field are:
-1: the AirBEAM Smart Client retries indefinitely.
0: the AirBEAM Smart Client does not retry.
-0: the AirBEAM Smart Client retries up to the number of times specified.
Retry Delay This field specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the AirBEAM Smart Client delays before
automatically retrying after a synchronization failure.
In-use Test This check box specifies whether the AirBEAM Smart Client tests to determine if a file is in use
before downloading. If the In-use Test feature is enabled, the AirBEAM Smart Client downloads a
temporary copy of any files that are in use. If any temporary in-use files are downloaded the
AirBEAM Smart Client automatically resets the client to complete the copy of the in-use files. If the
In-use Test feature is disabled, the synchronization process fails (-813) if any download files are in
use.
Wait Welcome This check box specifies whether the AirBEAM Smart Client waits for the WELCOME windows to
complete before launching synchronization after a reset.
Close Apps This check box specifies whether the AirBEAM Smart Client automatically attempts to close non-
system applications prior to resetting the mobile unit. If enabled the AirBEAM Smart Client sends
a WM_CLOSE message to all non-system applications before resetting the mobile unit. This feature
offers applications the opportunity to prepare (i.e., close open files) for the pending reset.
Field Description
Use DHCP server This check box control specifies whether the AirBEAM Smart Client uses the DHCP response option
66 to specify the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server.
If enabled, special RF network registry settings are required to force the DHCP server to return the
"TFTP server name" field (option 66). The special RF network registry settings are included, but
commented out, in the radio network registry initialization files (essid_xxxx_yy.reg).
Use DHCP bootfile This check box control specifies whether the AirBEAM Smart Client uses the DHCP response option
67 to specify the Package and Package 1 parameters.
If enabled, special RF network registry settings are required to force the DHCP server to return the
"Bootfile name" field (option 67). The special RF network registry settings are included, but
commented out, in the radio network registry initialization files (essid_xxxx_yy.reg).
Passive Mode
Use this checkbox to specify whether the Client uses passive mode FTP. This setting is ignored if
TFTP protocol is used.
