RF Devices

Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud supports a handheld RF (Radio Frequency) device interface to access the Mobile RF terminal based application. The basic requirement for these devices are:

• Should have a Secure Shell (SSH) app that can connect via secure encrypted SSH protocol to any configurable port number
• Capable of supporting vt100 terminal emulation
• Ability to display at least 24 characters by 16 lines of text, preferably 29 x 19
• A physical keyboard should have separate alpha and numeric keys with support for Control keys

Typical RF Devices used in warehouses these days run the Android operating system. WaveLink, Termius, Velocity, some SSH applications used by Oracle Cloud WMS customers, and others can be used as well.

Note:

• SSH apps may not be included with the RF Device and may need to be bought separately. The RF Device vendor may offer other SSH apps. SSH apps should be compatible with following mentioned Ciphers, keys, and algorithms.

  Ciphers	Key Exchanges	Macs	Host Keys
  aes256-gcm	ecdh-sha2-nistp256	hmac-sha2-256-etm	rsa-sha2-512
  aes256-ctr	ecdh-sha2-nistp384	hmac-sha1-etm	rsa-sha2-256
  aes256-cbc	ecdh-sha2-nistp521	hmac-sha2-512-etm	ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
  aes128-gcm	diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256	hmac-sha2-256
  aes128-ctr	diffie-hellman-group14-sha256	hmac-sha1
  aes128-cbc	diffie-hellman-group16-sha512	hmac-sha2-512
  	diffie-hellman-group18-sha512

• A device without a physical keyboard, using only an on-screen keyboard will have severe limitations in functionality and performance, when used with the Mobile RF WMS application. The Control key is required. The standard on-screen keyboards may not expose this key and third party software keyboards may need to be installed. Even with that, it will be quite inefficient to use an on-screen keyboard.

We recommend using a device running newer versions of Android, to also be compatible with the new Redwood Mobile app. Please see the Mobile App section for more details.

Note: WebRF isn't intended to be a production or high volume solution for RF. It's designed for testing purposes only.

Connection Stabilizing Software

Some customers have used connectivity stabilizing software to handle spotty WiFi in warehouse where the handheld device connects to the connection stabilization software, which in turn connects to Oracle WMS Cloud. Oracle does not test or certify such solutions and customers would be responsible for making sure it performs per their needs. Oracle will not be able to debug any issues related to such software.

Computers

To access the RF application from a desktop or laptop, PuTTY is typically used.
