Business Connect Server Configuration

Business Connect Server is the interface between mobile devices running the Business Connect application and the rest of the servers in your environment that interact with AutoStore or eCopy ShareScan (Active Directory, SharePoint, Output Manager, Equitrac, and so forth). Configuring Business Connect Server is critical to ensuring that the mobile devices can interact with the various features and functions of Business Connect.

To configure Business Connect parameters, do the following:

  1. In a web browser, enter the Admin Tool URL.

    For example, enter:

    http://<machine_name>:81/AdminTool/Home

    The exact URL for your Business Connect server could be found on the Web Server tab of Business Connect Server Configuration Manager.

  2. Login with your administrator credentials.
    The built-in administrator account (admin) can be used to access Admin Tool if Business Connect Server has not been set up with AutoStore or eCopy ShareScan. The password for the built-in admin account is “admin”.
  3. From Admin Tool, click Configuration.
  4. Configure the Security, Mobile Devices, and Card Readers settings.
