LibAssist –Installing and configuring

LibAssist operational environment

LibAssist consists of a handheld device and a management software called LibAssist Manager.

LibAssist Manager application uses data from ILS. The data has to be exported to a text format (character

separated values) and can then be imported into the Manager application. Manager application

communicates with the hand held device via WLAN, transferring book lists to and from the device.

Technical requirements

LibAssist Manager must be installed on a computer running MS Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows

7, with .NET Framework 3.5 installed.

Communication between hand held device and Manager application is done via WLAN, so a working

network connection is required on the PC. Also note that any firewalls between the two may prevent the

system from working.

Default port for communication is 6666, traffic is TCP/IP. Port can be changed if necessary.

LibAssist Manager configuration

There is a settings menu entry in the Manager application main window. This opens a settings window

where some application settings can be changed, such as the user interface language.

6 www.nedaplibrix.com

Further configuration is done via a configuration file. This configuration file can be found in <Current

user>\<Application data>\Local\Nedap\LibAssist\manager_config.txt . The exact path varies depending

on the operating system used. For example for a Windows 7 user named John Smith, the actual path

would be

C:\Users\John Smith\AppData\Local\Nedap\LibAssist\manager_config.txt

This configuration file should only be modified in special cases. We recommend that a backup copy of

the file is always made before making any changes.

Localization

It is possible to translate the application user interface to different languages. Currently, English and

Finnish translations are shipped with the application. More can be added by modifying the file

Translations.xml in the application executable directory. This file contains key-value pairs where the key

is used to identify a user interface element and the value contains the translation.

Changing the language is done in the Settings form (File -> Settings menu entry in the main window).

Device software –configuring

Device software requirements

The hand held device contains software that is pre-installed and only needs some configurations to

work.

In order to work properly, the device software needs to have a functioning WLAN connection to the

computer where LibAssist Manager application is running. You must also select the correct data model to

use.

Configuring WLAN in LibAssist device

Left: On the device, select Start menu -> Programs -> Summit -> scu to access the WiFi configuration

application. This application lets you choose and configure your WLAN configuration for the device.

Middle: In the configuration application, select Profile tab.

Right: In Profile tab, select Scan button to scan for available WiFi networks.

8 www.nedaplibrix.com

Left: Select your network from the list of detected networks and click Configure.

Middle: If your network is secured, enter passphrase or password when prompted and click OK. Your

network administrator should have the password, in case you do not know it.

Right: Click Yes to create a new profile to your network. Finally click on the Commit button at the bottom

of the screen.

When you are returned back to the main page of the Summit Client utility, select the profile you created

from the Active profile drop down list. After that the device will connect to your WLAN. You should see

green bars at the bottom of the screen, indicating a connection has been made.

Configuring the device software

Now that you have a working WLAN connection in the device, you need to configure the device software

to connect to the PC running the Manager application. To do this, start the LibAssist.CE application on the

device by double-clicking the icon on the desktop. This will bring up the LibAssist application on the

device.

Left: Desktop of the device. To start LibAssist, double click on the LibAssist.CE icon shown last in the

image.

Middle: LibAssist startup screen. You can select to load a list of items from a file, re-load last list of items,

or skip and continue.

Right: Main menu screen of LibAssist.

To enter the settings, select Skip in the startup screen and then Settings in the main menu screen. This

will bring up the settings window, where you can configure several things.

When you are done modifying the settings, press the Save button to save the settings or return to the

application menu screen by pressing the Cancel button.

General settings

Device name is an identifier that you can make up. This will allow you

to see which item you are connected to in the LibAssist Manager

application, when there are multiple hand held devices in use.

Manager IP address is required to connect the device and the

Manager application. To look up the computer’s IP address, you can

start command prompt and enter ipconfig command, or check with

your IT support staff. Port number is also required after the colon –

default value is 6666, which is also default in the Manager

application. If you choose to change this, you have to change it to

each device and also the Manager application.

Local data folder is the default folder where item lists will be read

from and written to. If none is given, LibAssist will use a default value

of “\SDMMC\Nedap”.

UI settings

Language allows you to change the user interface language of the

hand held device software.

List font can be used to configure what font is used to display the

items in the device software. Change this as needed, for example

when working with multi-byte character sets (Chinese, Japanese) or

other languages that may have characters which are not supported by

all fonts.

Sound is used to control whether the device plays short sounds when

it requires user attention.

Do not ask loading can be used to skip LibAssist’s startup screen and

go straight to the main menu when starting the application.
