Chapter 4 — Maintaining the Computer
100 CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Upgrading the Operating System on your Computer
You can use the SmartSystems™ Foundation application from Intermec to
perform upgrades on your CN3, versions 3.0 or greater. Contact your
Intermec representative for more information about the SmartSystems
Foundation software.
When you upgrade the operating system, you erase the current configura-
tion and replace it with the new default configuration. You will need to
reset the network parameters on the CN3 to reestablish communications
with other devices in the network. In other words, if you upgrade the oper-
ating system and the default registry from the operating system has
changed, the registry is rolled back to the new default.
When you upgrade your CN3, you are updating the operating system (OS)
and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files.
The SSPB files are stored on the DiskOnChip, and deliver Intermec value-
added functionality such as data collection, unit configuration and diagnos-
tics, and Intermec’s wireless security suite. As new features are added to
these components, you can upgrade your SSPB files without needing to
upgrade the operating system image. Similarly, features added to the oper-
ating system images do not affect the functionality of the SSPB, and you
can choose to upgrade only the operating system image.
There are two ways to upgrade the CN3:
You can use a miniSD card to upgrade the CN3. For help, see the next
page.
You can use the SmartSystems Console to upgrade the CN3. For help,
see “Using the SmartSystems Console to Upgrade the Computer” on
page 98.
You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to
your desktop or laptop computer, then determine if you will upgrade both
the operating system and SSPB files, just the operating system files, or just
the SSPB files.
1 Start your web browser and go to the Intermec web site at www.inter-
mec.com.
2 Go to Service & Support > Downloads.
3 Select Computers: CN3 Mobile Computer from the drop-down list.
4 Select which download you need. Make sure the download you select is
for the CN3.
5 Look at the description (or the ReadMe file) to determine if this down-
load will upgrade both the operating system and SSPB files, just the
operating system, or just the SSPB. You will need this information later.
6 Close the link and download the .zip file to your desktop computer or
your laptop computer.
