Installing Microix WCF Service

The Microix WCF service is a SOAP based service that is deployed on Microsoft IIS Server 2012 or higher and servers two purposes:

1. It allows our barcode devices to communicate in real time over a WIFI LAN connection or a WAN connection if the service is accessible through the fire wall over the WAN ( https://www.microix.info/helpdesk/KB/View/20788-connecting-barcode-device-to-wifi-and-wcf-service )
   
2. It allows our time clock hardware to send its data over the WAN from a remote site to your on premise or cloud installed Microix/MIP server ( https://www.microix.info/helpdesk/KB/View/7237-how-to-install-microix-timeclock-manager-mbit--on-premise-and-offsitehosting )
   

1. Before installing, verify the WCF Services are activated on .NET 4.5 or higher




2. Install Microix WCF service (http://www.microix.info/download/cd/Wcfsetup.zip )and accept all defaults. When asked to enter your SQL server information, enter the SQL Server name along with your Microix database name
