You have now successfully set up MobileAsset. You can now use

MobileAsset’s powerful tools, including detailed reports, check-in/out

features and list views to quickly keep track of and manage your assets.

FOR PROFESSIONAL EDITION

INSTALLATION

MobileAsset Pro Edition takes advantage of your existing TCP/IP network

to allow up to five MobileAsset client workstations access to a single

database located at the MobileAsset server. The client software may

optionally be installed on the same machine where the MobileAsset

server database is installed.

Installation

MobileAsset Pro ships with one server license and five client licenses.

MobileAsset Pro Edition may be installed in your choice of these two

configurations.

Refer to the diagrams and hardware requirements below to decide how

you will deploy the licenses in your environment.

Minimum Server Configuration

Recommended Server Configuration

750 MHz or faster processor

2.0+ GHz

2 GB of RAM

16 GB of RAM

60 GB of disk space

100 GB of disk space

you manually entered your assets) or in the Asset Tag column (if you

imported the data). Now an actual tag should be printed that contains the

Asset Tag number or code and (usually) a barcode for quick identification

and tracking. These tags should be affixed to each asset.

MobileAsset came bundled with the WaspLabeler application making the

creation of these asset tags simple. WaspLabeler was installed when you

installed MobileAsset. To print tags, first select the assets from the Asset

List for which you want to print tags, then click the Print Tags icon on

the Asset List toolbar. You can select multiple assets using the SHIFT or ALT

keys.

Note: Test your mobile device to make sure data travels back and forth

correctly before starting to do actual work on the device.

Now that your database is set up and you have attached asset tags to

all assets, you should audit your assets. This ensures you have not

missed an asset, mis-labeled an asset, or assigned an asset to the wrong

location. The quickest way to do this is to use your mobile device. You

will need to set up your mobile device prior to performing this step.

Please refer to the Working With Mobile Devices section of your online

help system for assistance setting up, using and syncing your mobile

devices.

Synchronize the data you have collected on your mobile device back to the

PC. If you have chosen not to install a mobile device, you will need to do

this audit manually, by physically checking each asset tag attached to an

asset and comparing against the database.
