Page 11: Functioning Of The Rp-04/05
The functions during daily use of the RP-04/05 are determined by the application program, which is controlling the RP-04/05. So the task of the storage of databases, providing the information and sending it to the display of the RP-04/05 will be performed by a central host system.
Page 12: Introduction On Rp-04/05 System Integration
• For more details, see Chapter 4. • Host/Server Example Software SKWEBSERVER is available upon request. • There is a demo website online to demonstrate and test the RP-04/05 with this application. See Chapter 4.2. • Feature: Scan QR barcodes (with valid URL) and the URL content will be displayed on the RP-04/05.

Page 16: Making Connection And Login
The unit's IP address is visible on the launcher screen after power-up, both Ethernet and WiFi. Make sure your computer is in the same IP subnet as the RP-04/05 you're going to configure. E.g.: The RP-04/05 has IP address 192.168.1.200 and your computer has address 192.168.1.250.
Page 17 Login Page To manage RP-04/05 settings, it runs a web server in https mode for exchanging queries and responses with a modern browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox or IE). Enter the RP-04/05 IP address in the address bar of your browser to open the login page.
Page 18 On the Home Page you find the terminal information: IP and MAC address(es) and an overview of the package versions.
Page 19: Wired Network Settings
With Factory default settings, the RP-04/05 starts with DHCP=On and settings as displayed above. At startup, the assignment of an RP-04/05 IP-address takes place according the following procedure: 1. When DHCP is enabled and a DHCP-service is active on the network, the RP-04/05 will use the IP-address assigned by the DHCP-service.
Page 20 Netmask: determines the class of network. • Default Gateway: default IP-address used by the RP-04/05 whenever it addresses IP's that do not match any other routes in the RP-04/05's routing table. Notes: 1. The Default Gateway address always shares the network value for the Static IP Address.
Page 21: Wifi Network Settings
On this Configuration Web Page you input the WiFi Network settings: Introduction Changing WLAN settings is best done by connecting the RP-04/05 with an Ethernet cross-cable to your PC/Laptop. With DHCP=OFF, the RP-04/05 will activate 192.168.2.200 as default IP-address for LAN.
Page 22 2. RP-04/05 Wi-Fi devices provided by Diebold Nixdorf support the hidden SSID feature (controlled by the Access Point). 3. If a Default Gateway is required for the Wi-Fi network then make sure that the Default Gateway for LAN is omitted (the reserved field for this must be empty).

Page 25: Web Price Checker
The web based price-checker uses a web-kit library to setup a browser-like connection to an http server. When a bar code is scanned, the RP-04/05 will send the scanned data as an HTTP request to a web server. The web server is responsible for generating the HTML page with Article/Price/Picture content, which is sent to the RP-04/05.
Page 26 For every barcode scan, the RP sends a query URL with the requested barcode information to the web server. The Web-Price-Checker uses tag-variables in the URL for this, like for example: http://demo.Scantech.com/demo/pricecheck/{@SKTYPE}/{@BARCODE} When scanning a barcode with content 012345678905 on an RP-04/05, the URL request with variables, will be {@SKTYPE}...
Page 27 RFID labels Notes: 1. The web server on the host-system is responsible for generating a web page with 640X480 (RP-05) or 480X272 (RP-04) resolution. Side scroll-bars will appear on the display when the page is too large for the actual display.

Page 33: Promotool
Chapter 4.3 PromoTool Application Introduction The PromoTool is an application for playing/displaying multi-media content on the RP- 04/05 according to a certain schedule. It can run as a stand-alone application or as a background task which takes over when the fore-ground task switches to idle-mode (for example a Price-Checker application).
Page 34 Promo Play-list. Each item in a play-list can be a single multi-media file (or a combination of such files), with additional text (plain text or HTML). For each play-list item, the skpromo player will collect all content of the files associated with this item. With the template file PromoTemplate.html it will construct an intermediate HTML page which is displayed on screen.
Page 35 Notes: • Removing an item from the Play-list is done by drag and drop it to the wastebasket (but the item can again be added to the playlist). • Moving an item from the Medias section to the wastebasket really deletes the item.
Page 36 Fetching content of multi-media files over LAN/WLAN. From factory, the RP-04/05 runs skpromo in local mode i.e. the full path /apps/promo refers to the local file system of the RP-04/05. For access to multi-media items placed on a centralized server you must use the features...
Page 37 Multi-media file access over the Network File System (NFS). The choice of using a centralized server for filing the promotion content for skpromo, simplifies the management task of updating promotional content as a regular task and it opens the possibility for further automation.
Page 38 Running skpromo by Web URL Configuring PromoTool to run skpromo in Web URL mode, means that after « Apply », the PromoTool will stop using its internal promotion list and transfer the control to the virtual play-list provided by the web server. It will first post a request to the entered Web URL request and wait for a reply from the web server.
Page 39 /apps/promo on the NFS-server (default, the RP-04/05 only has read privileges). 2. Configure one RP-04/05 in your office as a stand-alone SK device that holds the multi-media files with file promoplaylist.xml on its local file system. This SK will act permanently as a test-SK device for preparing new promotional multi-media content.

Page 44 Protocol related parameters Local Text - For standalone demonstration purposes only. - No external communication interface required. - Uses a text based database file "database.ini" which can be downloaded, modified and uploaded, for this, see web page « System->Templates » in section Folders.
Page 45 - Proprietary - Information exchange is based on a predefined list of Key=KeyValue variables. SKEPS - Diebold Nixdorf standard protocol - Information exchange is based on a predefined list of Key=KeyValue variables. - Server Port number is pre-defined, but can be changed.
Page 46 discount status of the scanned article i.e. the tag TDiscountPrice is only sent to the SK for discount articles and the output on screen will vary correspondingly (the server controls the output on screen). For those protocols whereby the server message is always composed by a fixed number of XML tags (in this case T_ArticleName, T_Price, and T_DiscountPrice), the Field Filtering option allows suppressing the unwanted tag T_DiscountPrice by defining the fields as shown on the right.
Page 47 Extract of the corresponding PriceCheckTemplate.html : <html lang="en-US"> <body class="/*SK:$SKTYPE*/"> <div class="name" > <p></p> </div> <div class="price" style="/*SK_SHOW:T_Price*/"> <p> Price:    </p> </div> <div class="discount" style="/*SK_SHOW:T_DiscountPrice*/" > <p><span style='font-size:40pt;color:white'> Discount Price:    </span></p> </div> </body></html> Price control parameters This section deals with the price/article messages received from the server.
Page 48 This switch turns price interpretation/formatting On or Off. When the server replies fully formatted price information you may turn Price Interpretation Off and the message tag representing the price will be copied as a string to the price-field in the html-page. 2.
Page 49 8. Welcome Timer After a product scan action and successful article look-up, the server replies with an article description, price etc. This information is displayed on the screen for the number of seconds specified in the Welcome Timer field. When this timer times out, the SK enters an idle state and by default it displays the Welcome Message.
Page 50 10. Error messages The Price-Checker application uses internal timers to check the availability of the network and the Price-Checker service running on the server. Immediately after sending a barcode request to the server, the Price-Checker application starts a timer with a time- out value of 2 seconds.
