Setup

...

To connect machines it is required that the 3YOURMIND Aggregator is deployed within the printers network. The Aggregator is a small console application that converts data from different printer protocols to a common format. The Aggregator sends the converted data to the Agile MES via a REST API.

It can be deployed on-site on a Windows or Linux machine by a Network Administratornetwork administrator.

Multiple Aggregators must be deployed when the printers are operating in different networks.

The Aggregator must be installed and configured by a Network Administrator network administrator through a config file.
The configurator must know:

  • IP addresses + ports of the printers

  • Printer model types

  • Agile MES service panel ID to connect to

  • A An API Token token of a user that can access the Service Panelservice panel

Tip

Steps to connect machines:

  1. Gather a list of printers to connect to (IP addresses, ports, printer types)

  2. Identify a Network Administrator network administrator capable of installing and maintaining the Aggregator in the printers' network

  3. Provision a hardware device for the Aggregator and include it in the printers' network.
    (See System Requirements). The Hardware Device hardware device must run 24/7.

  4. Obtain necessary information (Admin Access Necessary Information (admin access required)

  5. SetUp Setup and Configure the Aggregator

  6. Connect the machines Machines in the MES
