Server Configuration Utility

Configuration

To configure RaPTr Server, launch the program “RaPTr Server Utility”. The first dialogue will be a login screen. The default credentials are username, “artemis” and password, “raptor” all lowercase. It is recommended that the username and password fields be changed from the defaults.

Once the username and password have correctly been entered, the system will pull up the main configuration utility window.
From here you can see the state of the service (running, stopped, starting, etc.) and the connection status. The connection status is indicated by a pulsing green indicator.

If the indicator turns to solid red, this is an indication that the utility cannot connect to the server. If this is the case, the server may not have been correctly installed. If the indicator is pulsing green and the service status is running, then you are set to configure RaPTr Server.

The available parameters are shown in the following image and descriptions of each are in the table immediately following.

Parameter	Definition
LICENSE
Software ID	Identification number used by Artemis Vision to generate a license for RaPTr Server.
License ID	A 15-character alphanumeric identifier used in the licensing process.
GENERAL
Warehouse ID	An alphanumeric string used to identify a RaPTr Server’s location.
Image Storage Directory	Directory where RaPTr Server will save images of pallets where barcodes were successfully read.
Image Storage Size Limit (MB)	Maximum size of the image directory. Once the directory achieves this size, RaPTr server will begin deleting the oldest images.
Image Storage Purge Frequency (dd.hh:mm:ss)	Maximum length to retain an image. Any images older than this timespan will be deleted by RaPTr server. For example, if three months of images were desired, the correct value would be: 120.00:00:00 (120 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds).
Username	Username for this utility. Reset recommended.
Password	Password for this utility. Reset recommended.
INTERFACE
Type	Interface that RaPTr Server will use to look up barcodes. More information on each type can be found in the sections below. Values include: Data Only, CSV, XML, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, REST API, Plug-In and SAP Gateway API.
Descriptions for individual parameters of each interface type are found in the respective Operational Interfaces sections of this document.
SCANNER COMMUNICATIONS
ABP Server Port	UDP and TCP port on which RaPTr Server will listen for messages from RaPTr Scanners

Once a configuration parameter has been changed, the Save button will appear highlighted in green and the Cancel button will appear in red.

Configuration changes do not take place immediately and need to be saved. After saving, the Configuration Utility will request to restart RaPTr Server so that the configuration changes can take effect. If you decline to restart, then the configuration changes will not take effect until the service or server device is manually restarted.

Log History

The server configuration utility contains a history of key events and errors that occur during runtime of RaPTr Server. This area can be used to troubleshoot errors or diagnose changes made by individuals.
