When a scanner is moved from one PC to another, in addition to moving the scanner itself (and possibly associated hardware), changes in Rangecast Configuration are needed on the PC where the scanner was removed to notify that PC that the scanner is no longer expected there. In addition, if the scanner is a model 536, Rangecast Configuration changes are needed on the PC receiving the scanner, to set the scanner's Rangecast ID.
When a scanner is moved from one PC to another:
1) Remove the scanner from the PC where it was located. In addition to disconnecting hardware, in Rangecast Configuration, remove the scanner's Rangecast ID from the list of scanners that the PC expects to see attached there
[FAQ-1070] How to remove a scanner from Rangecast service, when it is removed or turned offA scanner can be removed from Rangecast service by disconnecting the scanner from the PC, or powering it off -- and then updating Rangecast Configuration on the PC to indicate that the scanner has been removed. (Without this second step, the PC will report the missing radio as an error condition.)
[FAQ-1073] Notifying Rangecast when a scanner is removed from service, or moved between PCsRangecast Operations tracks the health of the Rangecast system, including detection of scanners that are absent or not operating normally. If a scanner is removed from service, or moved between PCs, or temporarily taken out of service while being relocated, Rangecast Operations should always be notified of this change, otherwise the change may appear to be an incident resulting in a trouble ticket.
[FAQ-1069] How to set the Rangecast ID of scannersEach radio scanner sending content into Rangecast is identified by a unique Rangecast ID, which is set through Rangecast software (configuration interface) on the PC connected to the scanner.
