Step 1: Installing the solution descriptor

Use one of the following methods to install a solution descriptor on the MVP Server:

Method one

1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select Embedded Solutions - Solutions Management from the All Tasks list.

2. Select a device using the Quick Find or Folders tabs.

   Note: When a device managed by MVP is not supported by a specific task, its name will appear with a black line through it in the Quick Find or Folders tabs. Password-protected network devices are displayed in red. Enter the device password to gain access to the device.

3. If the embedded solution you wish to install on the MVP Server is already installed on the device, select the embedded solution from the list.

4. Click Fetch Descriptor(s). This will read the solution descriptor from the device if this method is supported by the device. If it is not, a dialog will open so that you can browse to the file to be installed.

Method two

1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select Embedded Solutions - Solutions Management from the All Tasks list.

2. Select a device using the Quick Find or Folders tabs.

   Note: When a device managed by MVP is not supported by a specific task, its name will appear with a black line through it in the Quick Find or Folders tabs. Password-protected network devices are displayed in red. Enter the device password to gain access to the device.

3. Click Manage Descriptors.

4. Click Add.

5. Select a solution descriptor from the Open dialog.

6. Click Open.

   Notes:

   • The installed solution descriptor appears in the Plug-ins/Solutions on Server box. The solution descriptor details appear in the Details box.
   • If the descriptor file is not valid, MVP will display an error message.

7. Click Close.

Step 2: Installing an embedded solution

After the solution descriptor file is installed in MVP, install the associated embedded solution file on the selected device(s):

1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select Embedded Solutions - Solution Management from the All Tasks list.

2. Find and select the device(s) on which the solution will be installed.

   MVP displays the embedded solutions available for deployment on selected device(s) in the configurable area of the screen. When solutions which are configurable via MVP are selected, the Solution Specific Actions window displays Import and Export buttons. If a selected solution is not configurable, the Solution Specific Actions window displays a message referring the user to further information.

3. Click Install.

4. Browse to the appropriate folder, and then select the solution file.

   Note: Embedded Solutions flash files typically have an .fls extension.

5. Select the solution file, and then click Add.
