LibAssist – Installing and configuring
LibAssist operational environment
LibAssist consists of a handheld device and a management software called LibAssist Manager.
LibAssist Manager application uses data from ILS. The data has to be exported to a text format (character
separated values) and can then be imported into the Manager application. Manager application
communicates with the hand held device via WLAN, transferring book lists to and from the device.
Technical requirements
LibAssist Manager must be installed on a computer running MS Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows
7, with .NET Framework 3.5 installed.
Communication between hand held device and Manager application is done via WLAN, so a working
network connection is required on the PC. Also note that any firewalls between the two may prevent the
system from working.
Default port for communication is 6666, traffic is TCP/IP. Port can be changed if necessary.
LibAssist Manager configuration
There is a settings menu entry in the Manager application main window. This opens a settings window
where some application settings can be changed, such as the user interface language.
