SampleConfigs
This folder contains example ReM.config files that show configuration syntax for different scanner mod-
els and interfaces. You can use these files to customize a ReM.config file for your installation (see page
2-14).
WebMBean
This folder contains the MSI file needed to install the ReM client agent. Your distribution must contain
this folder because the silent installer searches this location for setup.exe and Honeywell HHIDMA.msi
along with webmbean.iss, rp.exe, FindJavaHome.exe and addRegistry.exe.
Creating a Silent Installation
With the ReM Silent Installer you can install the ReM client agent on multiple remote clients.
1. Create a folder to house all of the installer files. This folder acts as the main installer folder.
2. Copy the files and subfolders from your ReM Silent Installer Distribution to the main installer folder
created in Step 1.
Note: From this step onward, all actions should be taken using the files in the main installer folder.
3. Choose a file from the ...\SampleConfigs folder and copy it to the main installer folder, renaming it
ReM.config.
Or, create a ReM.config file with the ReM Installer (see page 2-8).
Or, create a new file named ReM.config.
4. Modify the ReM.config file according to your requirements (see ReM.config on page 2-14).
5. If you want to perform the Licensing Operation (see page 2-8) during installation, copy all files
needed in the licensing operation to the installer folder: main firmware flash file, co-processor flash
file, golden settings file and license file.
6. If you are installing ReM for Honeywell scanner models that begin with IS or MS, copy the installer
folder to all target clients with the same scanner model and interface settings. If you are installing for
any other Honeywell scanner models, then the target clients can have mixed interfaces and models.
7. Manually execute ReMSilent.exe on each client or use any IT tool to remotely execute the file.
Please note that the installation folder from which you launch ReMSilent.exe must be either a local
drive or a mapped network drive. Using shared network paths is not supported.
Note: If you need to license a scanner after ReM has already been installed silently, see page 3-29.
Verifying a Silent Installation
You can check the results of a silent installation by verifying the presence or content of the following files:
• Result.txt contains a single character indicating the results of the licensing installation.
S = Success, F = Failure
• ReMInstall.log is populated with device information if the installation completes without any errors. It
also contains the Filter Driver installation status (i.e., success or failure).
• ReMError.log is only populated with data if the installation fails, which may occur because of missing
or invalid data in the ReM.config file.
• ...Log\MetroRemmlog.txt contains summarized results of the push, pull and update firmware
operations performed during installation.
