Overview

This section explains the recommended hardware for the scanners as well as the SSH setup process.

Recommended Hardware

Any device with a barcode reader, internet access, and that support an SSH connection will serve. In order to efficiently scan fresh cut flower boxes, a pistol grip scanner would be the best option.  Regardless of the make and model heavy duty equipment should be used in order to survive the conditions in the warehouse.

Wi-Fi

The scanning application runs in real time and therefore, it needs to be connected to the internet in order to run. We strongly suggest that you perform a Wi-Fi site survey in your warehouse(s) with a company that has experience with wireless infrastructure.

SSH Setup

Komet Sales uses a text based application that is executed via SSH connection.  To connect to the scanning server, you will need a terminal program running on the scanner with SSH support (i.e.: TelnetCE, Wavelink or others).  Once you have the software on the scanner you will need to create a profile which will require the following information:

• Host (the IP address of the scan server)
• User
• Password
• Port
  
  
  

Server Settings

• Host: 174.129.20.191
• Port: 22 (SSH)
