Installing Device Servers

If you want to install your mobile device servers, smart device servers, or printer device servers on machines separate from your Enterprise Server, use the Device Server Installer.

You must generate an API key for each device server before installing it. For information about creating an API key, see Using API keys for device servers.

To install a device server

1.Download the device server installer for the type of server you want from the download site.

2.Double-click the Device Server Installer.

3.Browse to your preferred install destination directory, and click Next to continue.

4.Click Next to create a Start Menu folder.

5.Enter the Avalanche Address in the form of a hostname or IP address to identify and connect to the Enterprise Server's computer. Provide the API key generated that allows the server to authenticate. For information about generating an API key, see Using API keys for device servers.

6.Click Next to begin the installation process.

7.Click Finish to complete the installation.

Once the server is installed and connected to Avalanche, it will be visible in the Inventory > Device Servers tab. Click the name of the server from the list, then click Move to assign it to a region.

Device servers are configured with device server profiles. For more information, see Mobile Device Server Profiles, Smart Device Server Profiles, Printer Device Server Profiles.
