Introduction
The WMS RF versions integrate the WMS workstation application data-
base with an RF Server application and RF portable devices. Version 8.1
and higher of WMS RF Server enables you to pick and receive orders for
your warehouse, enter and adjust inventory, and monitor warehouse trans-
actions from an RF portable device. You are also able to send messages
between the portables and the WMS RF Server PC application.
Pre-
Installation
Procedures Important: The RF network settings MUST BE in place in order for the
WMS RF application to run on the portable(s). Make sure that you can
“ping” your portable from the PC that will be running the WMS RF
Server application. If you are unsure of your RF network settings, CON-
TACT your network administrator to determine your RF network settings.
When establishing your RF network settings on the RF portable device,
you will need to know the following information.
1. Specify the connection parameters and network options:
What is the WMS RF Server IP address?
Note: For best results, we recommend that portable devices be assigned
static IP addresses rather than using a DHCP configuration.
If you do not use a DHCP server to administer IP addresses, obtain the
range of available IP Addresses to use for the portable device and have
these addresses handy (you will have to provide the IP address you
have chosen for the handheld when configuring the handheld for WMS
RF use).
What is the operating system of the WMS RF Server location?
2. Specify the security parameters:
If you are using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for your portable,
you must set the WEP keys.
3. Specify the service set identifier (SSID).
4. Ping the portable to verify RF connectivity.
Important: If you cannot ping the portable, the WMS RF Server applica-
tion will not run on the portable device. See your network administrator
for help in setting up RF connectivity with the portable device.
