+##Thermal Label Printers Network Configuration
+
+USB thermal labels are no longer supported, therefore you should only use ZPL compatible thermal label with Ethernet/ Network RJ45 port.  Each thermal label should be configured with IP address. When you boot inventory laptop / desktop, you may notice a screen indicating to select Warehouse location from a list of available warehouses.  Each warehouse location corresponds to a specific thermal label printer in the warehouse.  See below the mapping of printer names with IP addresses.

+
+You must configure each thermal label printers with IP addresses from the above list.  Make sure the printer is accessible on the NIS network by pinging it's IP address.
+
+When inventory laptop / desktop boot, it prompts to select the location of warehouse, for example you have selected warehouse-2, NIS will send the label to warehouse-2 printer automatically after processing the data. 
+
+This way you can have several employees working in different parts of a very large warehouse using just a single NIS server.

+While NIS is writing the Windows OS image to machines, you can view entire networks image writing progress using NIS web management portal. See below a real example of image deployment dashboard.

 Congratulations, you have just finished deploying Windows 10 image to a new machine. 

-Windows 10 image raw size is approximately between 25GB to 30GB.  Depending on the network equipment you have used and hard disk drive throughput performance, if G/Bit switch is used it may take approximately 30 - 40 minutes to deploy the image.
+Windows 10 image raw size is approximately between 8GB to 30GB, depending on the number additional window updates and additional softwares, drivers installed. Also depending on the network equipment you have used and hard disk drive throughput performance, if G/Bit switch is used it may take approximately 8 - 20 minutes to deploy the image.

+Once you have deployed Windows OS image to several machines, you can view details and comprehensive reports by using NIS web management portal. See below image deployment report.

 #### Note: Above is an example of deploy Windows 10 image to a single system. You can deploy captured image to several hundred systems simultaneously. Upto 65000 systems can deployed concurrently depending on the speed of your network and NIS server hardware.  We also recommend Gigabit Ethernet switch is used for better performace. If you are going to deploy on very large scale then we recommend, using 40 Gbps or 10 Gbps network adapter in NIS server and use appropriate 40Gbits or 10Gbits network switch.

 # What is NIS - "Automated" Network Computer Hardware Inventory - Software 

 NIS Network Computer Hardware Inventory software is a complete server based solution that automatically creates inventory of computer hardware machines (desktops / Laptops / servers machines) without installing any software, automatically prints barcode self adhesive thermal labels and generates comprehensive detailed reports. NIS also able to capture generalized Microsoft Windows image for redeployment to bulk machines over network. Windows Image capturing and deployment and cloning is fully automated. See below general NIS dashboard.
