AgileElite shipment server

The Sterling Pierbridge Adaptor communicates with the AgileElite shipment server through HTTP. The AgileElite shipment server is installed on a machine that is a part of the same LAN or WAN as that of the Sterling Pierbridge Adaptor. Labels can be printed either directly from the AgileElite shipment server or saved in .png format on the AgileElite shipment server.
