3. Getting started
3.1. Setting up the hardware and software
This SDK contains the following pieces of hardware and software that will have to be
installed in order to get an ESL demonstration or pilot up and running:

The ESL Demo kit installer containing:
o The ESL server application
o Middleware applications
o Example database files and image templates
o Firmware for the barcode terminal, base station and ESLs
o Appload (optional)
o USB drivers for the barcode terminal cradle (optional)
o XTAdminXXL (optional)
o User manual

1 EBS10 Base station(s) that includes:
o 6V Power supply
o Ethernet cable

6 EE200 2-inch e-paper ESLs (batteries included)
If you want to be able to quickly link ESLs to products, you will also need an OPH1004, H13 or
OPL9728 barcode terminal that includes:

A communication cradle

An RS232 and/or USB cable.

A 6V Power supply
To install and run the software you will also need a PC running Windows 7 or Windows XP
(with server pack 3) as server.
3.1.1. Installing the ESL Demo kit
Make sure you have administrator rights before installing the software. Run the SDK
installer by starting the „setup.exe‟ file.
If your PC doesn‟t have .NET Framework 3.5 (or higher) installed, the installer will
automatically install it on your system, since the ESL Server application requires it to run.
Select the components that you wish to install. If you haven‟t installed Appload or the
Opticon USB drivers on your PC before, make sure you install those components as well.
The XTAdminXXL tool is a 3
rd party tool from AK-NORD that allows you to discover your
base stations on an Ethernet network and configure the Ethernet settings of base
stations. (See chapter 5.6.3)
