System Menu

The SYSTEM Menu contains parameters necessary for communication to RaPTr Server, as well as parameters regarding the barcode symbologies. The parameters listed in the SYSTEM Menu are essential to the basic function of the scanner and should be addressed when setting up the scanner.

Parameters

Server

Parameter	Definition	Example
Scanner Location ID	Unsigned integer that identifies the scanner among the units installed at a location. Generally corresponds to the number assigned to the loading dock.	1
Image Storage Option	Determines what RaPTr Scanner will do with the images that trigger a Barcode Read Event.	Upload to Server
Server IP/Hostname	IP address or hostname of RaPTr Server. If left default, RaPTr Scanner will attempt to broadcast to locate RaPTr Server.	192.168.1.100
Server Port	TCP/UDP port on which RaPTr Server will listen for communications from RaPTr Scanner.	52325
Scanner Port	TCP/UDP port on which RaPTr Scanner will listen for communications from RaPTr Server.	52324
Image Storage Option	Controls what will happen to the source image when a barcode event is triggered. RaPTr Server can either upload the image to RaPTr Server (Upload to Server), save the image to the local storage (Save Locally) or do nothing with the file (None).	Upload to Server

  

Barcode

Parameter	Definition	Example
Barcode Results Per Image	Maximum number of barcodes that RaPTr Scanner should expect to see in a single image. Generally speaking, this corresponds to the maximum number of pallets that would be present in a stack that is loaded. For most, this number is 2.	2
Barcode Regex Filter	This field allows one to insert a Regular Expression to filter barcodes to be read. When RaPTr Scanner locates a barcode, it attempts to pass it through the filter. If the barcode does not meet the criteria, it will not be a candidate to trigger a Barcode Read Event. You can test various regular expressions via https://regex101.com/.	^[0-9]*$
Datamatrix	Enables the Datamatrix Symbology	TRUE
Minimum Module Count	Describes the minimum number of modules that constitute the Datamatrix barcode. Only applies to Datamatrix.	10
Maximum Module Count	Describes the maximum number of modules that constitute the Datamatrix barcode. Only applies to Datamatrix.	24
Code 128	Enables the Code 128 Symbology	TRUE
Code 39	Enables the Code 39 Symbology	TRUE
QR Code	Enables the QR Code Symbology	TRUE

Note: It is recommended that only the symbology or symbologies that are intended to be recorded are selected. Selecting more symbologies than necessary can negatively affect scanner performance. Also, selecting the exact symbologies needed can act as a method of filtering unneeded information.
