4.1 Networks overview
The machine network system in a store can consist of a mixture of label
and receipt machines. The system will support any combination of
machines in the XM and XT ranges provided they have the same
software version.
Scale networks can be connected in a wired or wireless ethernet setup.
Scales can be set up as:
Stand alone
Server client networks
Multi server networks
Peer group networks
Stand-alone
Each scale is independent. Communication is only possible to a back
office system.
Server/Client
One or more client scales receives its data from a server scale. The
number of clients that can be supported on a network will depend on
server performance.
A back office host can communicate with the server which will then
communicate with the clients.
Scales set up in such a way can share resources and information
(operators, PLUs etc.). Local price and product updates can be made
at any of the scales. Floating vendor is possible, whereby an operator
moves from one scale to another, picking up live transactions from a
particular customer at the scale they have moved to.
Multi-server
Each scale is configured as a server. If there is a back office software
application this communicates with all the scales.
Each scale holds its own product file and floating vendor is not
possible.
Peer group
Each scale is configured as a server in the same way as a multi server
network but local price and product updates can be made at any scale
and communicated across the scales configured within the same peer
group.
