Adding a device

Before adding client devices you must install the device service objects.

See Client devices.

  1. To open the Infor Device Client Configuration utility, run InforDevices.ConfigurationUtility.exe in the folder where you installed the device support.
  2. Right-click the root Device Configurations node in the Configured Devices tree and select Add Device Configuration.
  3. Specify this information:
    Device Name
    Specify the logical name of the device. This must match the name used to install the device's service object.
    Class
    Specify the fully qualified path to the device's class.

    This will be a class contained in the assembly that you specify in the Assembly Path field. If you're using the standard Infor device assembly (InforDevices.dll), use these classes for the different types of devices.

    • Card reader (MSR): Infor.Devices.POSNET.Msr
    • Check reader (MICR): Infor.Devices.POSNET.Micr
    • Receipt printer: Infor.Devices.POSNET.POSPrinter
    • Cash drawer: Infor.Devices.POSNET.CashDrawer
    • Line display: Infor.Devices.POSNET.LineDisplay
    • Scanner: Infor.Devices.POSNET.Scanner
    Note: InforDevices.dll does not include a class for payment terminals. To set up a payment terminal, you must add your own custom assembly.
    Assembly Path
    Specify the path to the assembly containing the device control functionality.

    In most cases the assembly will be InforDevices.dll, which is installed in the same directory as the Device Configuration tool. You can also specify a different path if you're using a different assembly.

    Description
    Specify a description of the configured device.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Click Test Device to ensure that the device is working properly.
