Installing Opter Terminal for Android

The installation and configuration of the app is done in the following steps:

Step 1: Install the app

Opter Terminal requires Android 4.1 or later. To see which Android version a phone is running, tap Settings > About your phone > Software information.

  1. Open Google Play Store on your mobile phone.
  2. Search for “Opter Terminal” and install the app with that name.

Step 2: Configure the app

  1. Open Opter on a computer.
  2. Click on QR codes and links for the apps under Help on the right.
  3. Open the app on your mobile and scan the QR code.

You can send the link displayed in Opter on your computer to the person who will configure the app. That person can then tap the link on their mobile phone.

Note:

To ensure the times of shipments are displayed correctly in the app, the correct time zone must be set. Press Settings > General management > Date and time and activate Automatic date and time.

The time zone in Sweden is GMT+01:00 Central European Time.

Step 3: Choose whether users should log in as terminals or with personal user accounts

Users can log in either as a terminal or with a personal user account. A personal user account provides better traceability, but on the other hand a user account has to be created for each terminal employee at all the terminals in that case.

  1. Click on Settings > Offices > Scanning tab.
  2. Select the Logon as terminal in Opter Terminal checkbox if users should log in as terminals. If this checkbox is not selected, users log in with personal user accounts.

If you choose to have users log in with personal user accounts, they will be asked at which terminal they are scanning when they open the app.

Step 4: Create login credentials

Depending on the user login procedure adopted in step 3 above, login credentials are created for terminals or personal user accounts.

  1. Click on Register > Terminals.
  2. Select a terminal in the list on the left and go to the Mobile/web tab.
  3. Enter the username and password that the resource is to use to log into Opter Terminal. The (office setting) checkbox is for information only and cannot be selected or deselected here, as this is done on the Scanning tab in the office settings (Logon as terminal in Opter Terminal).

  4. Click on to save all changes.

  1. Click on Settings > Access rights.
  2. Click on in the toolbar to create a new user account.

  3. Enter a user name.

    The username can contain the characters 0-9, a-z and A-Z. So not Å, Ä and Ö, spaces, colons or quotation marks.

  4. Enter the user’s login password in the Password and Re-type Password fields. We recommend the use of “strong” passwords.

    When using Opter Cloud, the password must consist of at least 8 characters and contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character (!@#$%^&*?_~-().,).

  5. Select which employee is to be connected to the user account in the Employee drop-down list. If the desired person is not listed as an employee, they can be added by clicking on next to the drop-down list.

  6. If you use Opter Cloud, select the Remote access checkbox. If it is not selected, the user cannot log into Opter.

  7. Assign the relevant access rights to the user either by dragging one of the groups under Available groups to Selected groups or by right-clicking on individual functions in the tree structure on the right and selecting an access right. For more information about access rights, see Setting access rights for users.

  8. Click on to save all changes.

The user can now log in using the credentials defined by you.

Note:

It is possible to save the user account without specifying any access rights, but the user cannot then log in to Opter.
