Good morning,
I've used a free trial of the android app Rapid Inventory from TEC-IT for quick inventorying. We had 42 IP phones come in last summer for a new building project and it made a breeze of collecting the serials and mac addresses along with exporting to a CSV/XML/Google Drive Spreadsheet. It uses the phones camera or an external Bluetooth scanner. Justin Bennett Supervisor of Network Technology Information Technology [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Mt.

We use them to confirm tickets outside our theaters on campus. >From my end I see them connected almost all day long but when they go to use them they have hiccups. The word I get is that they try and scan a ticket and if it doesn't work instantly they grab a spare one and keep going. I am going to stand with them one of these nights to see the actual process but haven't had the time lately so can't confirm how they are running them. We are building a new conservatory and I want to get the handheld piece figured out prior to deployment in that building. Config Cisco 5508's, 2600/3500/3600 ap's WPA2/AES enterprise (tried just tkip for a while and no dice) broadcasting I'm just curious as to what models of scanners everyone else uses and what issues/remedies they have come across. Does anyone else run the motorola MC55? It doesn't have to be on a Cisco infrastructure as alot of the settings from other vendors are comparable. I didn't want to type out the whole infrastructure, so if you have a question/idea please let me know.
