Setting Up Manifest Processor Options

Set up Manifest Processor options to define the network host and Solar Eclipse terminal to which Manifest Processor needs to communicate, along with the amount of time it tries to contact the host before timing out.

In addition, define scanning resolution requirements of manifests, as well as storage options for manifest signature files.

To set up Manifest Processor Options:

Display the Eclipse - Manifest Processor window on your terminal.
From the Tools menu, select Options to display the Manifest Processor - Options window.
In the Eclipse Host area of the window, populate the following fields:

Field	Description
Eclipse Host	The network host to which you are uploading signatures. To access the host name, from Solar Eclipse select the File > Preferences menu to display the Preferences window. The host name is displayed in the Host field.
Service Port	The network host port. To find the host port, from Solar Eclipse select the File > Preferences menu to display the Preferences window. The port number is displayed in the Socket Port field.
Terminal ID	The ID of the Solar Eclipse terminal on which the Manifest Processor application is installed. To access the Solar Eclipse terminal ID, from Solar Eclipse select the File > Preferences menu to display the Preferences window. The ID is displayed in the TerminalID field.

Click the Test Connection button to make sure that the Manifest Processor is communicating correctly with the host.

If you set up communications correctly, the system prompts you with "Got reply, connection OK for processing." Click the OK button to continue.
If you set up communications incorrectly, the system prompts you with "Test connection attempt unsuccessful: Could not connect to xxx." Click the OK button to return to the Manifest Processor - Options window and re-enter the Solar Eclipse host information.

In the Misc Options area of the window, select the following as needed:

Option	Description
Delete successfully processed files	After a signature file has been processed and attached to its invoice, deletes it from the Manifest Processor directory in which it was stored.
Use faster (but less accurate) barcode scanning	Allows you to scan in manifests at a resolution lower than 600 x 600 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution in order to process signature files more quickly. Note: If you select this option, signature files may not be processed or attached to invoices as accurately as if they had been scanned at a 600 x 600 dpi resolution.
Use persistent socket services	Uses socket communications to connect to the host. Note: We recommend that you select this option.

In the Network Timeout field, drag the button to define the number of seconds that the Manifest Processor application will try to contact the host before timing out.
Click the OK button to save the settings and exit the window.
