There are various network requirements and installation processes that must be performed before you can use the EWM application successfully on your Android tablet in your warehouse location. The requirements are listed below with a brief explanation and a link to the related chapter. These installation steps must be performed in the order they are listed below.

 

1. Set up a wireless network at the location where EWM will be used.

 

2. Server / Workstation Install:

•You will need a dedicated server or workstation to communicate between entrée and your tablet devices.

•Create a new administrator account that will be used to login to the server for EWM.

•Install entrée on the server (if it is not already installed).

•Various entrée mods will need to be installed and install programs need to be run to align the communications between systems so they will work correctly.

 

For step 2 you must contact NECS Technical Support and schedule an EWM installation appointment.

 

3. Once you have the EWM application installed on your server you will proceed to the entrée Settings & Dashboard chapter. Here information about the updates needed in the main entrée system are detailed.
