What is Ranger Remote?

Ranger® Remote is Silver Bullet's cross-platform/cross-browser solution for the Ranger Universal Check Scanner API™ family.

Ranger Remote is a powerful tool, available on both Windows and MAC OS platforms, allowing browser-based applications to interface with the Ranger API via JavaScript. The Ranger JavaScript object encapsulates and exposes the Ranger API to the browser-based capture application, and uses WebSockets to communicate to a Ranger-enabled native application running as a service/daemon on the local workstation to control a connected check scanner.

The default configuration is WebSocket (ws) communications between browser and service/daemon.  However, Secure WebSocket (wss) communication is also supported by an install-time option that imports SSL certificates (typically bound to the localhost) into the appropriate certificate stores.
