Intermec 741, 751 & 761 SmartSystems™ Certified

All 7X1 series devices with the operating system v 4.51 and Intermec Value Add (IVA) software PSMv.3.77 or above, have the SmartSystemsT client and are now SmartSystemsT certified. By simply downloading the free SmartSystemsT Foundation software, located at: GSS > Service & Support > Support > Downloads > Software Application: IDL Business Components, you can provide our customers with the ability to:

• Configure and save all Intermec Settings options via the SmartSystemsT console
• Local and remote operating system upgrades and updates via a Simple Drag and Drop process
• Backup and restore all configurable settings.
• Restore factory defaults

(Note: The current IVA PSMv 3.77 limits users ability to restore defaults remotely.)

In addition, the v4.51/3.77 operating system also includes the Wavelink Avalache enabler (v3.10-23) to allow for remote device configuration, remote operating system updates/upgrades and administrative remote control capabilities. All remote management capabilities are enabled with the purchase of a Wavelink Avalanche licensing agreement. For more detailed information on how to obtain the Avalanche license keys and agent/console software go to GSS website: Product Tools l Launch Kits l "Wavelink Avalanche".

For those WM 2003 customers with previous operating system releases who want to take advantage of the enhanced management capabilities of the SmartSystemsT and Avalanche technologies, the 700 Series v 4.51/3.77 software is currently available via the Developer Support website, www.intermec.com/developersupport.

These updates are certified and approved for use with the 730, 740, 741, 750, 751, 760, and 761. For all 64 MB ROM units, the required upgrades can be performed via the SmartSystems or Avalache functionalities. Due to memory space limitations, all 32MB ROM units will require use of SD cards for enabling the upgrade.

For those PPC 2002 customers wanting to implement SmartSystemsT, they will need to order a WM 2003 operating system upgrade kit (one per device). See the current price guide for upgrade kits availability and part numbers.

Remember... Electronic distribution for all released operating systems is now available through the developer support website. After placing an order via the standard order entry process, customer's simply need to fill in the "Operating System Request Form" located at http://www.intermec.com/wm2003. Following verification of the P.O. number submitted on the "Operating System Request Form," customers will be instructed by email on how to obtain the requested software electronically.

The required Microsoft Certification of Authentication (COA) and licensing stickers will then be mailed to the customer through the standard order fulfillment process. To insure receipt of all proper licensing agreements, customers must place orders (one per unit) for the appropriate upgrade kits. Without a P.O. or sales order number, customers will not be provided electronic access to the software loads.

Please remind your customers of the importance in applying the appropriate upgrade sticker inside the battery compartment - as instructed in the upgrade kit quick start guide titled - "700 Series Labeling Requirements for Operating System Upgrades." Any device submitted to service without the appropriate upgrade sticker will be downgraded to the original operating system, as indicated by the part number on the back of the device
