This document can help you quickly experience the use of the AP(ESL gateway) and the ESL software.
Step 1 Set up of the AP
The AP has a PoE interface and is powered via Ethernet cable, it does not have a separate power adapter.
You will need two Ethernet cables to connect the device. For easier identification, the cables in the images above are color-coded: one is white, and the other is black.
White cable: Connect one end to the POE port on the POE Power unit, and the other end to the LAN port on the AP.
Black cable: Connect one end to the LAN port on the POE Power unit, and the other end to a LAN port on your router or switch.
Step 2 Check the AP online status
After you power on the AP and connect it to the network, log in to the ESL management system, enter the store management–AP management, and you can check the online status of the AP. As shown in the figure below, it means that the AP is online.
Step 3 Batch import ESL devices
Store management—ESL management—bulk add
We will add ESL devices to the management system before delivery. You can see these ESLs in the system’s store management—ESL management.
If you need to add ESL devices yourself, you can follow the steps above
Step 4 Create Goods
Data management—Goods management–Add
Generally, you can select the template name as REG.
After selecting, you have completed the binding of this product and this template.
Shopcode, GoodsCode and GoodsName are required.
Step 5 Create Templates
ESL template–Add
There are 4 points to note here.
1 Here the document name is template name, as the above photo.
2 The template name(document name) can only be one of the system preset names, as shown in the figure below, where REG is used as an example.
3 Input the device code in “Label Type”
you can check the code on the back of your ESL device, as shown below
ESL has different sizes and screens have different colors, so we set different device codes. The device code is unique. Multiple devices with the same code can share the same template.
4 When you create the template, the product name, retail price and barcode needs to be bound to the corresponding field, see below 3 yellow mark in the photo
Step 6 Bind Product
ESL management
Just input the Goods ID, you can bind the product. Note that the Goods ID here is the GoodsCode. The Goodscode is associated with template name.
Then the ESL screen will be updated.
Step 7 Price Update
Data Management ->Goods Management
Select the product you want to modify, click Edit
The ESL tag will be updated
