Retail Use Cases

Chapter 6. Retail Use Cases

Background

In the past, CCC clothing stores have used POS terminals with a 10BaseT Ethernet connection to an in-house server. Management has decided to install wireless networking in the stores. Wireless point of sale (POS) terminals and printers will allow them to be more flexible with store layout. Wireless handheld terminals for inventory and price lookup will make inventory faster and more accurate. In some stores, management is adding a cafe with free wireless Internet access. The hope is that customers will visit more often and stay longer if their partners can use the Internet while they shop.

The following links show the tasks that the system administrator will carry out to complete the wireless upgrade.
