Access Control : Installing and using ScanMan module : Overview
 
Overview
 
This section of the document outlines the recommended procedure for installing and using the ScanMan software for scan access. ScanMan module is designed as an “operator controlled” Access Control system. It is set up to allow operators to “scan” a ticket or pass of a customer and receive a response as to whether it is valid.
ScanMan module runs on mobile computers/scanners from Symbol Technologies. Currently, Siriusware Inc.® supports different models from Symbol (also noted are the most common operating systems Siriusware Inc. supports on the devices): MC9090-G (Windows Mobile 5.0), MC9190 (1D/2D), MC 9500 (Verizon / AT &T capable) MC70 (Verizon and AT&T capable) and MC5590 (Windows Mobile 6.5).
There are three hardware components in the wireless scanning system: access points, handheld mobile computers/scanners and programming cradles from Symbol Technologies.
The access point is the device used by the mobile computers/scanners to communicate with the network. This is the first device to configure. The programming cradles connect to a USB port (or possibly a serial port) on a PC used to configure the mobile computer/scanner and load the ScanMan application onto the unit. The programming cradle is set up after the access points. The mobile computer/scanner scans a ticket or pass and uses the access point to communicate with the network. The mobile computers are configured as the last step.
