Adding a device

  1. To open the Infor Device Configuration tool, run InforDevices.ConfigurationUtility.exe in the directory where you installed the device control.
  2. Right-click the root Device Configurations node in the Configured Devices tree and select Add Device Configuration. The Device Configuration tool adds a new node under the Device Configurations node. The node will be blank until you specify a device name.
  3. Expand the Device Configurations node and select the blank node that you just added. This enables the fields in the Device Configuration tool for editing.
  4. In the Device Name field, specify the logical name for the device. This must match the name used to install the device's service object.
  5. In the Class field, 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.
  6. In the Assembly Path field, 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.
  7. In the Description field, specify a description of the configured device.
  8. Click Test Device to ensure that the device is working properly. If the test succeeds, the programmed success message is displayed. The device also performs the appropriate action, such as printing a test receipt. If a device test fails, the underlying error message is displayed.
  9. Select File > Save Configuration. The configuration data is saved to an XML file called InforDeviceConfig.xml in the device control directory.
