# Preparing for Your Melco Summit Installation

## To help your Melco Summit installation run as smoothly as possible, there are a few things we recommend preparing in advance. The Summit system includes some powerful automation features, and getting the network and file setup ready beforehand means we can spend more time training you on the machine itself rather than configuring IT settings during the installation. Don’t worry if you are not particularly technical — this guide explains the basics in simple terms, and our team can also help you set everything up if needed.

**1. Connecting the Machine to Your Network**

**The Melco Summit can connect to your network using either:**

- Wired Ethernet connection (recommended for best reliability)
- WiFi connection (works perfectly well if your signal is strong)

**What you will need**

**Please have the following available on the installation day:**

- Your WiFi network name
- Your WiFi password

**Important**

**Some newer router security settings can occasionally cause connection problems.**

**For best compatibility, your router should use:**

- WPA2 or WEP security

**Some systems using WPA3 may require adjustments before the machine can connect.**

**2. Storing Designs on Your Network**

**If you would like to:**

- Load designs directly over the network
- Use barcode or QR code loading
- Share designs between multiple machines

**you will need a shared folder or storage location for your embroidery files.**

**This can be set up using:**

- A Windows PC
- A NAS Drive (Network Attached Storage)

**You may need**

- The username and password for the PC or NAS drive
- Access to your IT administrator if your system has restrictions, firewalls, or antivirus controls

**Important difference between PC sharing and NAS drives**

**A shared folder on a Windows PC can only handle up to:**

- 20 connected devices at the same time

**This includes:**

- Other computers
- Embroidery machines
- Any other devices connected to that shared folder

**A NAS drive does not normally have this limitation and is often the better long-term solution for larger setups.**

**3. Using Barcodes or QR Codes**

**Many customers now use barcodes or QR codes to speed up production.**

**The ideal setup is:**

1. Create the barcode or QR code when the order is placed
2. Use the same code through picking and production
3. Scan the code at the machine to automatically load the correct design

**This helps reduce mistakes and keeps production running smoothly.**

**Good to know**

 

**Shorter file names create shorter, easier-to-scan barcodes and QR codes.**

**Very long design names can create codes that are harder to scan reliably.**

**Need Help?**

 

**If any of the above sounds unfamiliar or you are unsure how to set it up, don’t worry.**

**Amaya can arrange a remote session with one of our technicians before installation day to help prepare everything in advance.**

**This helps make the installation process much smoother and allows more time for machine training and production setup.**
