Chapter 3—Installing the Software
Note: it may be easier to follow the step by step Quickstart Guide (available on the CD
ROM in the documentation section).
Before installing the Scanvue5 programs, we highly recommend you install the latest
updates or service packs to the operating system you are using. The UnitConfig
program especially requires a minimum level of Internet Explorer to be running. On
Windows 98, IE Explorer 6.0 or later and NT or XP require IE Explorer 5.50 or later.
The SetupServer program on the CD–ROM must be run on your Windows network
server to create a specific ScanVue5
®
directory called POS on your servers’ hard disk,
share it and copy the default scanvue.ini file into this directory. ScanVue5
®
units look
for this file in the POS share when they boot up and will not operate if they can’t find it.
In software versions after and including V5.02, the .ini file will be searched for in all lower
case characters. This takes care of servers that are case sensitive (such as Unix)
You should also install UnitConfig the graphical, table oriented version of modeset on
the server as it provides the easiest way to change the configuration of a unit on the
network (as opposed to scanning barcodes or sending modeset commands). You may
also install UnitConfig on a desktop or laptop computer for setting up ScanVue5
®
units
without a large network complicating it. You will need a network interface card (NIC)
installed in your PC and configured properly to communicate with ScanVue5
®
.
UnitConfig version 3.3 or later can also be run directly from the CD-ROM.
For servers that are running other than Windows, sources are provided for the server
software. There are also freely available drivers to allow any operating system to act as
a Windows–type server.
Important: Scanvue5 V6.2 and later software will detect either scanvue.ini or
realscan.ini files. This ensures that an existing NCR installation using realscan.ini will
work with new Scanvue units. The shared ScanVue directory and the file must be on the
server and the ScanVue5
®
unit must be able to find it when they power up. If you want
to change the operating modes (or configuration) of a specific unit anytime after the
system is up and running, the UnitConfig program is available in the POS directory or
on the CD-ROM.
