Radio Frequency Components
IntelliTrack WMS RF is a real-time radio frequency (RF) warehouse man-
agement system, combining real-time RF data collection with a RF termi-
nal, integrated bar code scanning, and SQL database management
technologies.
The WMS RF application contains four components:
• RF Server: The RF Server contains all the application code that
encompasses the WMS RF application. It communicates with the RF
Clients via TCP/IP and is the core of the WMS RF application.
• RF Server Configuration Database: The RF Sever Configuration
Database is a SQL database that stores all the language translations,
user preferences, and portable data collection terminal configurations
for the server application.
• RF Client: The RF clients consists of three applications. The first two
are Windows-based clients that simulate the hand-held or vehicle-
mount units and the third is a 16-bit DOS based client. All of these cli-
ents operate in a similar fashion and maintain a TCP/IP connection
with the RF Server.
• RF SDK: All runtime support for WMS RF is installed during the
installation process. This runtime support includes Microsoft Visual
BASIC runtime, MDAC and the WMS RF components to communi-
cate with RF Portables via TCP/IP.
