    To configure the settings on an MC75A, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the MC75A, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file: _setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the XML code and uses it to provision and configure the MC75A.
  • Page 69: Creating An Xml Provisioning File

    Optionally, use the Authenticode tools to sign the .cpf file. Tap the filename to install. Certain applications and settings require a cold boot to take affect. In these cases, cold boot the MC75A. Refer to the Windows Mobile Version 6 Help file for more information.
