Bar|Scan Software
Bar|Scan®
is a complete bar code asset management system that provides specialized
software designed to meet a company's enterprise-wide asset information
needs.
Bar|Scan uses the accuracy of bar codes
and powerful portable bar code readers to more accurately track your computers,
equipment, furniture, and other resources in less time than a manual
inventory.
Accounting, Facilities, MIS, and
Purchasing departments can share Bar|Scan asset information on a network-wide
basis resulting in better communication without duplicating efforts.
Flexibility is the key to Bar|Scan. It works equally well in a warehouse or
office environment.
Bar|Scan Smart Client
Software
Combining web deployment with local computing
Using Microsoft ClickOnce deployment
technology, the Bar|Scan Smart Client can be installed throughout your
environment for quick access to your Bar|Scan assets.
Once installed, users can browse, sort,
add, edit or print assets. Filters can be assigned by user password so that
only assets in their area of responsibility are accessible.
Standard Bar|Scan Server and
Workstation minimum system requirements:
Operating
Systems:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3
- Microsoft Windows XP SP 2 or later
- Windows Vista Business or Ultimate Microsoft
- Windows Server 2003 or later (32 bit and 64 bit)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32 bit and 64 bit)
Displays:
- Super VGA 800 X 600 or higher-resolution monitor with
256 colors
- Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Hardware
Communication:
For Servers and
Workstations that communicate with Pocket PC devices, they must allow
installation of:
- Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center or Microsoft
Activesync
- Must have USB port or WiFi for synchronization
Special
Considerations:
- Bar|Scan operates in 32 bit compatibility mode when
using 64 bit Windows, both for Workstations and Servers.
- 6 4 bit Windows will not allow access to Bar|Scan data
by the Bar|Scan Smart Client, many in-house programs and many third party
programs. This is due to the fact that there are as of 07/2008 no 64 bit OLEDB
drivers to access Bar|Scan data, neither are there any 32 bit 'compatibility
mode' OLEDB drivers. If you need to access Bar|Scan data outside of using
Bar|Scan, do not use a 64 bit computer.
- Most Servers must also be used as a Bar|Scan
workstation, usually for technical support reasons.
Bar|Scan SmartClient recommended
minimum system requirements:
SERVER:
Supported Server Operating Systems:
- Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (32 bit only)
Must allow
installation of:
- Microsoft Internet Information Services
- Microsoft .NET 3.0
Special
considerations:
- 64 bit Windows is specifically not supported. Since
there are neither any 64 bit nor any 32 bit 'compatibility mode' OLEDB drivers
for 64 bit windows, 64 bit servers will not allow access to Bar|Scan data by
any program that requires use of OLEDB, including the Bar|Scan Smart Client,
in-house programs or third part programs.
- At this time, Windows Server 2008 is not yet
supported.
CLIENT:
Supported Workstation:
- Windows XP Service Pack 2
- Windows Vista Business or Ultimate
- Supported Browsers: Internet Explorer 7.0
Other
requirements:
There may be other requirements, please
see the latest Bar|Scan documentation.
