MX2 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX2RG-L-ARC
Avalanche
Note: Wavelink Avalanche is not designed to run on a device with a 900MHz or Narrowband
radio.
Note: If the device is configured to use Avalanche for network settings, manual changes made
to NET.CFG and SOCKET.CFG may be overwritten.
Avalanche may or may not be installed on your mobile device. Refer to this section for important
information relating to Avalanche running on an MX2 with a 2.4GHz radio. Contact your LXE
representative if Avalanche is needed and your mobile system has not been upgraded to the
required minimum software baseline revision levels. For complete instruction when using
Avalanche please refer to the “Wavelink Avalanche for DOS Reference Guide” on the LXE
Manuals CD.
Minimum Software Baseline
The minimum software revision level (baseline) must be loaded on the mobile device in order to
use Avalanche:
Operating System............................232XGSYS.02A
LXE Agent......................................AGNTGD00.01C
Core.................................................232XGCOR.01C
Avalanche Number .........................AVA2GD01.01A
Cisco 350 Radio Driver ..................C802GD35.01H
Lucent Radio Driver .......................L802GD01.01P
Symbol 4121 Radio Driver.............S802GD21.01E
Upgrading the MX2
If an LXE computer does not meet the minimum baselines specified above, it must be manually
upgraded to the baseline before it can be used with Avalanche. The older G-Number software
should be manually deleted from the LXE computer before the new G-Number is installed.
!
Copying the new G-Number software to the LXE computer without first deleting the
old G-Number software may lead to insufficient disk space on the LXE computer.
This is especially important for LXE Agent, Radio and MX2 Core G-Numbers.
