WLAN alternative solutions
In general, cable connections should always be used if this is technically possible and sophisticated data processing is involved.
The various solutions offered by Hypersoft include systems that are either not optimal for WLAN or should be viewed extremely critically in this context. To avoid misunderstandings: of course a 100% available WLAN would also be a good solution, but in practice it is not possible to guarantee this in this way.
Hypersoft programs that are not designed for WLAN and their integrated error handling perform a multitude of automatic corrections in case of network problems. In certain situations, however, this can lead to loads that affect other components in the network. This must be prevented at all costs.
Best practice replacement for missing LAN connections
If certain Hypersoft components are not suitable for WLAN, but no LAN connection is available, there are various remote control solutions, such as the Remote Desktop of Windows, or RDP for short. If you use them via WLAN, only the screen information and the input information is exchanged via WLAN. Critical things like database accesses then only take place locally. The RDP system is also designed to react to fluctuating connection quality and even to interruptions in a largely moderate manner. For conceptual reasons, there are no interruptions for the remote system, so that its functionality remains stable and cannot have a negative effect on other Hypersoft components.
DLAN (PowerLAN) is not a reliable replacement for missing LAN connections. If this has to be used, the RDP technology should also be used.
For printers, you can use WLAN printers in most cases. Only high-quality components should be used for this purpose as well.
Orderman mobile devices
Orderman mobile devices were a good alternative for a long time with their own radio technology. However, the new Orderman devices also work on WLAN. Hypersoft therefore does not plan to support further Orderman mobile devices (based on WLAN), so this is no longer an alternative.
