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. This manual assumes
you know how to obtain the relevant information about your existing network
configuration and choose the appropriate configuration parameters so your network will
recognize ScanVue5
®
devices. We suggest using switches rather than hubs to connect
to ScanVue5
®
units as the bandwidth and response time is improved.
ScanVue5
®
supports two activities—displaying item price and description and displaying
a graphics slideshow. The unit has two primary modes of operation: an idle mode where
a slideshow from 2 to 50 sequential images is continuously displayed, and an interactive
mode where a customer scans an item and price and description information is returned
by the host server. The four buttons on the front panel can be configured to only be
active when in the interactive mode. In order to display product information, ScanVue5
®
must connect to a host computer that has the product information stored in its database.
If you are using an MS Windows network, we highly recommend Windows NT, 2000,
ME, or XP. Windows 95 and 98 can be used as a server for ScanVue5
®
, but they are
not supported. NT 4 Server and Windows 2000 will provide the best performance in
terms of response speed, especially if you are using an RF wireless system rather than
hardwired Ethernet (10/100baseT).
Network Activity
ScanVue5
®
includes servers for FTP (port 21), ProductInfo (port 1283), and clients for
FTP, SMB (Windows networking), ProductInfo (Product Information Protocol) and QFX
(Quick File eXchange). FTP, SMB or QFX can be used to get the graphics files for
ScanVue5
®
’s slideshow. SMB is the default mode.
