Print exactly the labels the job needs
From a property or a rack, tick what to print — the property, rooms, racks, devices, patch panels, runs — and the lines each label carries: type, path, short ID, serial, IP address, cable ID, far end. Choose the stock and print; the count says how many labels and sheets that is and warns when a label has no room for every line. Wire flags print a flag for each end of every run.
Scan to open, on site
On a phone, Scan a code opens the record behind one of Cablefolio’s QR labels; any other code is searched for as text. Where there is no QR code — a manufacturer’s sticker, a hand-written cable tag — the camera reads the printed words on the phone itself, even with no signal, matching against the properties kept offline.
The same reader fills a device’s serial number and MAC address, and a run’s cable ID, from the label. A MAC’s maker is named from its prefix as a hint.
NFC tags (beta)
Write an NFC tag for a room, rack, device, or run and tap it later to open the record. A written tag can be locked read-only for good. Writing needs Chrome on Android; iPhones can read the tags. Label reading and NFC are in beta while they are tested on more phones.
Questions and answers
What label stock does Cablefolio print on?
Letter or A4 sheets of die-cut labels, 12, 18, and 24 mm tape, and 2 × 1 inch thermal rolls. Tape and thermal rolls print one label per page at the label’s size.
Does label reading work without a signal?
Yes. Reading printed text happens on the phone itself, and with no signal it matches against the properties kept offline on that device.
Can Cablefolio write NFC tags on an iPhone?
Writing NFC tags needs Chrome on Android, because it uses Web NFC. iPhones can still read the tags Cablefolio writes.
