This document addresses the adding and removal of LaundryCard using the Wifi Setup page within Manager’s Options to add CCI Access Points (LCAPsCAPs) for use in an environment utilizing Wireless wireless LaundryCard Readers.


Warning

IMPORTANT

The information in this document is specifically provided for the use of Wireless wireless LaundryCard Readers, Wireless Control Heads and Wireless LaundryCard wireless CCI Access Point (LCAPCAP) hubs. 

This is a future product. All information subject to change. Do not discuss nor disseminate information unless OK'd by Steve Marcionetti in advance.

INTERNAL USE ONLY.

This notice will be removed when Wireless wireless LaundryCard Readers reach a public production state.

Introduction

LaundryCard systems can be installed with (but not limited to) one of two types of readers:

  • Traditional LaundryCard Readers

  • Wireless LaundryCard Readers

While assigning equipment to its respective reader using Card Reader Setup (Equipment/Machine Setup) may be a similar process, Wireless wireless LaundryCard Readers have additional requirements:

C-0527 Wireless Control Head

C-4491 LaundryCard CCI Access Point (LCAPCAP)

  • A Wireless Control Head

  • A configured Wireless LaundryCard wireless CCI Access Point (LCAPCAP).

Similar to a FasCard Satellite A CCI Access Point (SAPCAP) , a Wireless LaundryCard Access Point (LCAP) is the serves as a broadcasting hub for all wireless LaundryCard readers in a single location. When paired with the X-Changers using a wireless control head or an individual Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector, CAPs bridge the communication between wireless LaundryCard readers and the LaundryCard system.

Wireless readers in a LaundryCard system can be set up for a number of specific use cases such as:

  • A location that utilizes multiple rooms or concentrated sections/corners that a Control Head-established line cannot easily access.

  • An established location where new equipment is being added without adding an additional Control Head or adding/extending hardline(s).

  • A new location looking to either:

    • Blend both wired and wireless solutions, whether in part, evenly, or as a majority.

    • Have a 100% wireless solution for LaundryCard.

For an LCAP a CAP to be used in a location, it must be added to the system using the Wifi Setup menu.

Wifi Setup

A LaundryCard system can have up to four (4) LCAPs CAPs configured in a single location.

The LCAPs CAPs themselves are registered and configured within the internal LaundryCard infrastructure of the store and only report to the X-Changers directly.

Each LCAP CAP in Wifi Setup requires only the MAC Address to be standard; there are no physical naming / notes restrictions.
