7.3 Creating Links between ESLs and Products/Locations, Using the
Optional Barcode Terminal
Once the firmware has been loaded onto the optional barcode terminal, and is active, the first
step in creating a link is to press the
1
key on the terminal
ʼ
s keypad (for
Link ESLs
), and then
select the used ESL variant by pressing the
1
key again (for
2" e-paper
), or the
2
key (for
2.7" e-
paper
).
The next step is to scan the barcode on the back of an ESL. At this time, there should be an
audible indicator (“
beep
”) from the terminal, and visual confirmation with the ESL
ʼ
s full MAC
address in the terminal
ʼ
s display.
If the physical barcode on the back of an e-paper ESL is not accessible, it is also possible to view
this same barcode on the e-paper ESL
ʼ
s display. To do so, select all ESLs in the server
application that have not yet been linked, then select the
image
checkbox and press the
Reset
button. Each of the selected ESLs will then display its default barcode image containing its unique
MAC address.
After scanning the MAC address, you can either manually enter the
Unique ID
or scan the
barcode of the product that you want to link to this ESL.
After scanning, or entering the product, the terminal
ʼ
s displayed message should be
“Linking
successful!
” If that particular product cannot be found in the database, the message displayed will
“
Product not found
.”
If you accidently linked the wrong product to an ESL, then you can correct this by scanning the
ESL
ʼ
s MAC address again and linking it to the correct product.
