® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Chapter 4—Network Configuration Introduction ScanVue5® is a network–connected device which uses industry standard TCP/IP protocols for communication. Connecting ScanVue5® to your network requires the same kind of preparation as connecting a workstation to your network.
® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. ScanVue5® requires a file server for storing graphics files and a ProductInfo server (host or back office computer) for the price/description database. These servers may be (but don’t have to be) on the same physical computer. The file server must have the ScanVue5® initialization file (ScanVue.
® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Figure 9—Configuration Status Screen 1 Figure 10—Configuration Status Screen 2 Wireless Configuration Information Three wireless radio link parameters are kept in the UnitConfig program. These parameters are stored by the radio and give the end user a feel for the link quality and the physical placement of the ScanVue5 unit.
® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. describes this method. Once the unit is network compatible the rest of the configuration can be done through Unit Configuration. Unit Configuration is a VisualBasic® program that provides a simple graphical way to query and configure any ScanVue5® unit. It uses the ScanVue5® mode commands (Chapter 5) to setup the unit. This program is available in both source and executable form.

® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Overview A generic protocol called ‘ProductInfo’ has been created especially for interfacing price verifier units such as ScanVue5® with the back office server that holds the database containing item prices and descriptions. Implementations of ProductInfo directed at specific hardware platforms, ScanVue5® in this case, are a subset of the full protocol.
® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. ProductInfo Protocol Description ScanVue5® has an embedded protocol engine that uses TCP/IP to send the UPC barcode number from the price verifier to the host computer, and return the price and description information retrieved from the host computers’ database by its resident application. ProductInfo is a TCP based, bi–directional message–passing protocol that uses the same format when moving data in either direction.
® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. certain mode setting, it sends the command and the client will respond appropriately. If not, an error report may be generated in response. Mode settings occupy a separate name–space from the capabilities table. A mode setting could be used to change the timeout value the client uses to decide that a socket connection has broken. Error reports are used primarily as a debugging tool.
® ScanVue5 Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. ScanVue5® Implementation Rules 1. ScanVue5® maintains an asynchronous ProductInfo server. The host can open a connection and send messages to this listener at any time. 2. ScanVue5® sends carriage return/linefeed pairs to indicate an end–of–line ( marks end–of–string) to accommodate various host computers, but will accept either or both. 3.

The protocol is designed to be generic and is not tied to any specific retail hardware device.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Introduction The ProductInfo Protocol provides a network–based messaging system whereby a client can obtain item price and description information about specific products. This information can be in any form such as text, graphic images, sound or combinations. The protocol will be submitted as an RFC for the Internet community. Protocol Types There are two forms of the protocol: trivial and nominal.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Client Mode Changes The notion of a mode setting is to allow the server to select between optional behaviors or parameters in the client. If the server wants the client to adopt a certain mode setting, it sends the command. The client will do so, if applicable. If not, optionally, an error report may be generated in response. Mode values are set by using token–value pairs.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Nominal Mode Packets General Every nominal–mode packet starts with a header containing the packet length and the token and may contain no other data. Packets are described below. Terminate Connection: Requires only the length and the token. Length Byte # Capability Query: Token 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 8 T E R M The name of the capability to be queried is a string following the header.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Mode Set/Query: The name of the mode and its value are in a token/value string following the header. If the mode name alone is in the string, it is a query. Mode names are case–insensitive. The header for a SendUnitID query would be: Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 19 M D S Q The query string “SENDUNITID” and a terminating immediately follow the header. To set SendUnitID, the string would be (e.g.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Product Query: The product query string immediately follows the header. The header for a request about product ABC would be: Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 12 P R O D The query string “ABC” and a terminating immediately follow the header.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Event: A client can support up to 32 application specific events and can report the beginning and end of each event with a 100th second timer (which need not be supported). Events are mapped into a 32–bit word, in standard network order. Clients may allow the host to enable and disable individual events, or to select reports only for starting or ending events.

ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Appendix G—Application Notes Wallpaper Description In its default configuration, scanning a barcode will bring up a ‘Checking…Please Wait’ message in yellow characters on a blue background. When the server returns the price and description of the scanned item a new screen will replace the ‘Checking…’screen.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Creating Wallpaper A typical wallpaper might consist of a background image, for instance a company logo, with “Please Wait…” or a similar message in the center of the image and a one character high row at the bottom of the display containing text labels for the 4 switches (if the switch option was ordered).
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. When a barcoded item is scanned and the wallpaper is displayed, price and description from the server must be sent back using mixed mode (text over graphics mode). The text is sent inside a TIB (text information block). The TIB is defined at the server in terms of # characters wide, # characters high and location in pixels (H,V) of the top left corner of the TIB.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. Text Over Graphics (Mixed Mode) Operation When text is sent to ScanVue5® and overlays a graphic image without destroying the graphic, this is known as mixed mode (or text over graphics) operation. To use this mode of operation a graphic image file name is specified on the MsgChecking line in UnitConfig instead of the default “Checking….Please Wait” text message.
ScanVue5® Mini Kiosk User Manual M37574–01T Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc. If you are sending multiple TIB’s, then set SingleQTrans to FALSE—however, the host must ensure the connection is broken after the last TIB sent or ScanVue5® will sit and wait. Creating Customer Messages on VF Display Models The ScanVue420 VF display model has 4 language character sets, ASCII+European (default), ASCII+Cyrillic, ASCII+Hebrew and ASCII+Katakana that can be changed with a mode command from UnitConfig.
