Network Management Parameters

Wavelink Avalanche

Wavelink Avalanche is a software system designed to manage mobile network devices. The Avalanche

system consists of three core components:

The “Avalanche Administrative Console” is the central user interface through which the administrator

issues commands to the Agents. The console allows the administrator to view all known devices, identify

device settings and software loads, configure profiles, schedule updates, and immediately identify the

success or failure of updates to each device.

The “Avalanche Agent” stores the configuration settings and software to be deployed, along with the

rules used to assign these settings to the mobile devices under Avalanche management. The Agent can

run centrally and communicate across a WAN, or multiple agents can be deployed to locations throughout

the network.

The “Avalanche Enabler” resides on the mobile device to be managed. Enablers are operating system

and, sometimes, device specific. The Enabler communicates with the Avalanche Agent over the network or

serial connection and updates are performed as necessary.

Zebra’s implementation of the “Enabler” has complete emulation of Avalanche Enabler protocol,

including the following:

Automatic Agent Discovery

In the event that an Agent’s address is not explicitly provided, the mobile device will send out

broadcast requests, searching for an available Agent. If an available Agent responds, the Agent’s

information is stored and connection procedures begin.

Agent Login And Authentication

In order to facilitate a secure connection, Avalanche Agents and Enablers each offer authentication

procedures to validate the identity of the other party in the connection.

Operational Properties Exchange.

After successful connection and authentication, the Agent requests an update of the mobile device’s

operating parameters, a set of static parameters that the Agent is aware of. These parameters are

mainly network oriented (ESSID, WEP, etc).
