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.
