ALEOS Application Framework
ALEOS Application Framework (AAF) allows you to develop your own applications to run inside an AirLink gateway and leverage the ALEOS Application
Platform ( source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/aleos_af/aleos_af_home/ ) or a customer-developed server platform.
Sierra Wireless gateways come without an AAF user password. Before using
AAF, select a password and go to Admin > Change Password to enter it. See AAF
User Password on page 332. The AAF Development Studio (DevStudio)
application uses this password to communicate with the gateway.
Once the AAF user password is set up, embedded and server application developers can start using AAF by accessing the ALEOS Application Platform
( source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/aleos_af/aleos_af_home/ ).
You may want to reserve the serial port for an AAF application. To do so, select
Enable in Applications > ALEOS Application Framework > Serial Port Reserved.
It is not necessary to reserve the serial port before activating AAF.
Reserving the serial port is mandatory only if the AAF application will be using the serial port.
