Note: New versions of the ESLServer, ESLClient and AP-2010 (≥ 1.3.0) will also support old
labels that do not come with a pre-programmed PIN code. New labels (≥ 3.0.0) will also work in
old installations together with old labels but the ESLServer will not accept registration codes
during the registration process. To register the labels it is required to scan the barcode with the
label ID from the backside or the bottom edge of the label. As the server will not start the key
exchange all data is transmitted unencrypted to the labels.
6.3 Handheld terminals, USB barcode scanner and iOS-App
It’s also possible to register labels with a commercial USB barcode scanner (2D/1D). You can
also use our iOS-App (for iPhone and iPod touch, only available on request).
Handheld terminals are mobile devices that are used to manage the ESL installation. If the
handheld provides a barcode scanner, it may be used easily to link articles and labels by
scanning the article barcode (usually EAN, UPC or GTIN) and the unique ID of the label.
Here you can see some screenshots of our iOS-App:
