HP Retail Peripheral Agent Technical User Guide

For example, in Fig 2, the retail terminal system has the HP H300 receipt

printer and two HP scanner device classes installed. By default, the

configuration utility will detect the existence of those devices and auto

populate the LDN and the threshold setting to the configuration profile. Both

the LDN and the threshold field can be edited to the user’s desired

LDN/Threshold setting, thus those fields/settings can be utilized to support

party retail peripherals or HP peripherals but with a custom LDN name.

NOTE: the threshold field should be changed to the user’s specification as

the default value has been populated only for HP’s test demonstration.

 Device Monitor Setting: This section has the option to monitor certain USB

device connectivity states or any USB device. It has the capability to

generate a report when the device(s) get detected and/or when the

device(s) get removed. If the terminal supports SMTP, then it has the option

to directly notify the user of the event via email.

For example, in Fig 3, the setting within the “Device Monitor Setting” section

has the HP Linear Scanner and the HP Cash Drawer device ID entered to the

monitor list. If the device connection accidentally pulls out due to

unexpected event or if the device cable length design is outside the USB

specification or if the device experiences signal integrity issue, then the HP

Retail Peripheral Agent will be able to log the event and send an email

notification to the TestUser@_.com member.
