Equitrac Notifier Setup

The Equitrac Notifier application screen is shown below.

Server Settings

ScannerVision Networking Server address

The IP address of the ScannerVision Networking Server. If this value is left blank it is assumed that the ScannerVision Networking Server is installed on the local machine.

Equitrac Notifier port

The HTTP port on which the Equitrac Notifier communicates with the Networking Server.

Note

If you change this port you have to change it on the Networking Server also and you have to make sure that the port is allowed through the server’s firewall.

Communication timeout

The timeout that is allowed for successful communication to the ScannerVision Networking Server. The default is 5000 milliseconds.

Keep Equitrac file

When this option is selected the Equitrac Xml file is not deleted after processing.

Save

Saves the current settings in the “C:\ProgramData\ScannerVision\Config\EquitracSettings.xml” file.

Create package

Creates a Zip archive of all the files that are necessary to run the Equitrac Notifier application. When you click this button you are prompted to select a folder where the package must be created. Make sure that the folder you select is completely empty otherwise you will get an error.

The “EquitracNotifier.zip” package that is created can be extracted on any machine into any desired directory.

Update Registry

As of this writing the Equitrac server looks in a specific Windows Registry key for the path of the external application that is to be called when a user signs in or out of Equitrac. To simplify this process press the “Update Registry” button to update the registry key with the path of the Equitrac Notifier application.

Note

You have to run the Equitrac Notifier application with administrator privileges before you will be able to use this facility.

If the “Update Registry” button is not available there could be one of 2 reasons:

1. You are not running the application with administrator privileges and the registry key does not exist or does not point to the current path. The button will not appear:

1. The registry is up to date. In this scenario a green check mark will be shown next to the button like this:
