• SMIHost software connects to the core database either natively for Access, Firebird and SQL or via ODBC for virtually any other database
• SMIHost need not be installed on the same machine as the core database – it just needs a network link
• Multiple copies of SMIHost can be connected to the same data source
• There is no data duplication – no data is held within SMIHost – it acts as a gateway
• Images can be held in a separate location – they do not have to be part of the core database
• A file location is provided to allow the posting of a “Watch List” for invalid/lost/stolen card numbers

• Once connected the user/installer can choose which table they wish to utilise in the core database – and select the data and or image they wish to load to the PDA
• The user/installer must specify which field is being utilised for the card number
• The PDA screen can be designed to suit the display requirements
• The design of the PDA screen can be transferred to the PDA via Active Sync

• The extract of the core database to be transferred is downloaded to the PDA
• SMIHost has it’s own image compression facility – ensuring the images do indeed fit onto the PDA
• Databases of many tens of thousands may be accommodated

• SMIMobile software is loaded onto the PDA. This software functions in accordance with a range of devices, dependent on the card type – supplied by SMI
• When a card is presented the card number is read and compared with the Watch List – if valid the details associated with that individual are displayed by the PDA
• SMIMobile records the Card number and time of read – this Audit trail is then exported back to SMIHost as a text file
• The Watch list and Audit files may be updated wirelessly if the appropriate network is available
