Features
FMU is included with Windows-based Datalogic mobile computers. FMU
provides administrators with tools for managing the deployment of terminals,
including:
•
Individual Diagnostic Terminal Update
•
Group Terminal Update
•
Wireless Connectivity
•
Multiple Server Support
•
On-Demand Updates
•
Automated Terminal Updates
•
Scheduled Terminal Updates
FMU encapsulates all aspects of terminal configuration into a single central-
ized interface. For example, FMU’s intuitive user environment provides an
interface that allows you to perform firmware upgrades, terminal configura-
tion, network setup, and terminal monitoring via the Explorer-style interface.
Administrators can manage their terminal deployment on either an individual
or group basis. A group is a set of terminals that perform the same function
(e.g. shipping, or cycle counting, or price verification).
FMU allows administrators to gain additional management capabilities. Spe-
cifically, administrators can now manage a deployment of PDTs across a wide-
area-network (WAN) as well as take advantage of additional automation capa-
bilities.
FMU is an essential tool for managing a large deployment of terminals,
grouped into different functional categories. FMU makes managing the differ-
ent groups easy. With groups of terminals, configuration settings can be
applied once and distributed to each terminal in the group automatically. The
distribution of applications to a group of terminals can be easily accomplished
in the same one-step manner. Using wireless network technology, these func-
tions can be accomplished without direct access to the terminal.
All of the benefits and capabilities of the Falcon Management Utility help you
to lower your ownership costs of your portable data deployment by making
the installation, configuration, and management of your deployment easier
and more efficient.
