1. Double-click Setup.exe.
2. Select Client (Host Computer).
3. Select a Scanner Model.
The Scanner Model dropdown is used to tell ReM how to recognize the device attached to the host
computer, both for the routine ReM discovery operations and the ReM Licensing operation done upon
ReM installation. (This takes place if "Deploy ReM Scanner Licensing Tool" has been selected.)
The Scanner Model supports two different operation modes:
a. Model Autodetection. Model Autodetection is enabled when you select “AutoDetect MS or IS
Models," (MS7580 or MS4980).
• In Autodetection Mode, the MBean running in the host tries to automatically determine the model
of scanner attached.
• The autodetection process during licensing can take up to 3 minutes, depending on the scanner
model. During this time, the scanner will be unavailable for other operations. However, the
process will be quicker afterwards.
b. Manual Selection. Manual Selection is enabled when you select a specific scanner model from the
drop down, other than "MS7580" and "MS4980." MS7580 and MS4980 are always treated as
autodetection.
• In this mode, the MBean running in the host only accepts the specific scanner model selected.
• The manual scanner detection is faster than the automatic detection mode.
The following points apply to both Model Autodetection and Manual Selection for the MBean.
• These modes allow scanner model hot-swapping over the same interface, provided that the
interface port is not changed. For example, one can swap a MS7120 scanner in COM1 with a
MS7580 scanner in COM1, and ReM automatically reconfigures itself for the new device.
• If swapping scanners connected over the USB Serial interface, ReM must be restarted for the
reconfiguration to take place.
