Operating Systems

PASS barcode tracking software runs on Microsoft Windows 7 and 10. The minimum installation requirement is: 500mb free hard disk space with 1 gb RAM

Network Topography
The Enterprise version of PASS products will work over Windows Terminal Server or Citrix and can be networked and run over VPNs . Local terminals connect with ODBC to the server. The PDA transfers data to any local terminal which in turn funnels it through to the server database.

Database engines
The default database is Microsoft Access. It is not necessary to have a copy of Access to run the software. For heavyweight applications other databases are supplied namely MySql, SQL Server (min version 2000)

PDAs with Barcode Scanners
We support most PDAS with Android o/s. We also support Windows mobile but although they can connect and run succesfully, Microsoft  no longer supports Windows mobile and we would recommend Android PDAs for new installations.

Tethered Barcode Scanners
These can be either Serial or Wedge type

Real Time scanners
Short range wireless scanners and Bluetooth scanners are supported as well as 802.11 environments. Landline modems or GPS can be used for data transmission from the PDAs to the central database.

Label Printers
All thermal and thermal transfer printers are supported that have a Windows 2000 or later driver. For example Datamax, Zebra, Intermec etc.
