Equipment scanner

Cambium reps spoke of using a scanner to scan in the serial # or bar code of our devices and then uploading that information to Cn Maestro. What hand held scanner do you recommend we use to accomplish this task? Thank you

Any bar code scanner that will scan a barcode and then transmit the text out to a PC acting like a keyboard input device on it would work. The scanning takes away potential errors in entering serial numbers and speeds up things when there are many devices to be onboarded.

In our testing we have used the TaoTronics TTBS012: the scanner is wireless, and the other end of it is a USB dongle that goes into a PC/Laptop where you log into cnMaestro (no special software or application is needed) and get to the onboarding page for entering serial numbers.
