WebSentinel™ PLUS Software

Installation Manual

WebSentinel PLUS software can be licensed for installation on customer

provided servers. This document provides requirements and installation

procedures for a successful installation.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMER SUPPLIED SERVER

One of the following Windows Operating System:

 Windows 7 - 10 (32 or 64-bit, 64-bit prefered)

One of the following Web Browsers:

 Google Chrome 36 (or later) - Recommended

 Internet Explorer 10 (or later)

 Firefox 30 (or later)

Our installer will attempt to install the following components:

Apache Tomcat 7 • Apache HTTP Server • Java 7 SE runtime • Maria

DB Server 5.5 • FileZilla FTP Server • 7-Zip Archive tool

Your server’s operating system must be compatible with and/or not have

conflicts with any of these components.

If the WebSentinel Plus server(s) is supplied by Datalogic, software will be

preinstalled and the unit will be ready to plug in when it arrives.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

Hardware requirements for Datalogic WebSentinel™ PLUS depend on the

number of arrays/tunnels that are to be monitored by the software, the

number of devices in each array, and the quantity of report files that must

be produced and stored. The following lists refer to single computers, each

acting as both a WebSentinel PLUS Server and as a Client. Remote Client

requirements are less stringent.

Server/Client Hardware Requirements Based on Number of Arrays/Tunnels

Up to 32 arrays:

 Intel Core i3 at 2.1 GHz or equivalent processor

 8 GB RAM

 500 GB hard disk with at least 350 GB free space for

package data

 Two 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet port

 USB 2.0 port for software installation

NOTE: WebSentinel PLUS software will run on computers

with less than the recommended hardware requirements,

and will likely perform fine when monitoring a few scan

points. However, performance of queries and reports may

be negatively affected.

NOTE: The Datalogic WebSentinel PLUS license key is

created based on the MAC address of a single Ethernet

card installed on the PC (automatically selected and not

modifiable by the user). For this reason, it is recommended

to disconnect or disable all the other removable Ethernet

cards in order to avoid the registration program selecting

them. If the registered MAC is missing, WebSentinel PLUS

won’t start.

INSTALLING A CUSTOMER PROVIDED SERVER

If you are providing your own server hardware, make sure it meets the

hardware and software requirements outlined above. The server should be

installed in a secure location where it will not be disturbed or prone to

damage. Be sure to allow about 300mm [12in] clearance for cabling around

the server’s connectors. For information on installing a Datalogic

WebSentinel PLUS Server, see the WebSentinel PLUS Server

Installation Manual.

CUSTOMER PROVIDED SERVER CONNECTIONS

If you are providing your own server hardware, you must make the following

connections:

• Power – Power supply connection

• Video – Monitor connections (optional)

• Ethernet – Connection to HOST Network

• Ethernet – Connection to Device Network

• USB – Mouse and Keyboard connection (optional)

See the WebSentinel PLUS User’s Manual: Global Settings | Facility

Management for setting up site Ethernet IP addresses, and Local Settings

| Scan Point Management for setting up scan point Device network IP

addresses.

WEBSENTINEL PLUS SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

WebSentinel PLUS and Windows Operating System Firewall

An administrator level user may need to configure the machine's firewall

rules to allow WebSentinel PLUS applications to operate. This can be done

after installation by registering these applications as an allowed program in

the built-in firewall's allowed programs list. The firewall modifications can be

made from the Windows Control Panel and Windows Firewall, but

accessing these controls will differ depending on the operating system

version being used. If you cannot access the controls or if a different firewall

is used, contact your IT department. The firewall should be modified to

allow the following programs and ports.

Application

Port

FileZilla Server

Apache Tomcat

8080

Apache HTTP Server

Private and public network selections for the applications must be allowed.

If an application is not listed, add the executable file and directory path.
