Example: A customer wants to write their own programs.

They have 10 terminals communicating wirelessly to a single host.

 

The customer would need: 

                1 - Omni Complete Program that includes 5 Licenses

                1 - 5 pack of Terminal Licenses

 

Note:  If the customer wanted a reseller to write and maintain the programs they would need the OMNI Runtime and an additional 5-pack of terminal licenses.

 They are using 10 terminals and have 3 areas in their warehouse that will need to host data download stations (PC’s).

 

The customer would need: 

                1 Developer Program to write the programs

                2 or 3 Runtime Programs

 

They would only need 2 Runtimes Programs if they can use the Developer Program at one of the download stations.  Otherwise, 3 Runtimes would be needed.

 DEMO Program Limitations:

In demo mode the OMNI Communications Server can only manage (1) program and only (1) terminal.  The terminal is limited to making 15 accesses to the OMNI Server in RF mode. The OMNI Server can be stopped and restarted to get a new set of 15 accesses.

 

In batch mode terminals are limited to collecting and downloading just 5 records. The data can be downloaded and deleted from the terminal to get a new set of 5 records to collect and download.
