Chapter 7 Staging and Provisioning
Introduction
This chapter describes how to stage devices using Rapid Deployment and provisioning using MSP Agent or
AirBEAM Smart.
Staging
Staging is the process of setting up the mobile computer to download packages for provisioning. The mobile
computer uses the Rapid Deployment (RD) Client for staging.
NOTE For Windows CE 5.0 devices:
OEM version 04.22.0001 and lower use MSP 2.X RD Client version 1.9.0.
OEM version 05.26.0000 and higher use MSP 3.X RD Client version 3.28.
OEM version 06.30.0000 and higher use MSP 3.X RD Client version 4.43.
For Windows Mobile 6.1 devices:
OEM version 01.06.0000 uses MSP 3.X RD Client version 4.66.
RD Client Version 1.9.0
The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client version 1.9.0 facilitates software downloads to a mobile computer from a
Mobility Services Platform (MSP) Console's FTP server. The MSP Console is a web-based interface to the wireless
infrastructure monitoring and management tools provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.
When software packages are transferred to the FTP server, the mobile computer on the wireless network can
download them to the mobile computer. The location of software packages are encoded in RD bar codes. When
the mobile computer scans a bar code(s), the software package(s) is downloaded from the FTP server to the
mobile computer. A single RD bar code can be scanned by multiple mobile computers.
NOTE For detailed information about the MSP Console, MSP Lite/MSP Enterprise servers and creating RD bar
codes, refer to the MSP Users Guide, p/n
