System Options

This section is used to define the most fundamental parameters of the whole system such as, how many ECRs are in the network, which ECR number will store common data, etc.

► Select SYSTEM OPTIONS from the S mode PROGRAMMING MENU to display the S mode SYSTEM

OPTIONS Screen.

S-Mode System Options – Definitions

(1) REGISTER # (1-32)

This is the register number for this ECR. This is required to be a sequential number starting from 1 for each of the ECRs in an inter-register communications system.

(2) STORE #/STORE NAME

This is used during communications to indicate which store sales are collected from. Defaults to 0.

STORE NAME field added at software version 2.00s. Either a store name, store number, or both a store name and number can be entered. If store number alone is entered, store files will be saved on the SD card under the store number; if a store name alone, or if a store name and number are entered, store files will be saved on SD under a folder with the store name.

(3) IRC FROM REGISTER #

This is the number of the first ECR in an inter-register communications system. The norm is 1.

(4) IRC TO REGISTER #

This is the number for the last ECR in an inter-register communications system.

(5) IRC NUMBER OF RETRIES

The standard setting will be acceptable here, unless directed by CRS Support to use a different value.

This feature controls the number of requests to consolidate a ECR before failure is announced. This is default to 10 providing optimum network performance.

(6) PRINT DISPLAY DECIMAL POSITION

This is the number of decimal places the system will use.

(7) PASSWORD (0000 – NO PASSWORD)

Each of the reporting areas can be password protected to provide management restriction.

(8) SEND PLU DESCRIPTOR WHEN POLLED

This will send in addition to the normal information, the PLU description, when polled by a P.C.

(9) REG# HOLDS TIME IN/OUT DATA

The time clock, labor hours worked and costing analysis feature can be operated on any ECR, however the data is held centrally on one register.

(10) REG# HOLDS CHECK TRACKING DATA

The four check tracking files can be operated on any ECR. The files however are stored centrally, normally on ECR #1. On a more customized system this can be changed so that each tracking file is stored on a different ECR, the information will be available for central use.

(11) REG# HOLDS BACKUP CHECK TRACKING DATA

The four check-tracking files can backed up on a second ECR.

(12) REG# HOLDS KP GLOBAL ORDER#

The order number printed on kitchen order tickets can be the register number followed by a consecutive number or can be held centrally and be a system consecutive number this is referred to as a global order number.

(13) REG# HOLDS CLERK INTERRUPT DATA

Identify the register that stores transaction data when the transaction is suspended while another clerk begins a different transaction.

(14) DISPLAY PRINTER ERROR WHEN POLLING

This controls the response of the ECR when a printer is not available to print a PC activated report. The option is default to No to ensure that if a printer is off line the communications will continue.

(15) ENABLE FRONT POWER SWITCH

If Yes, the front power switch is activated. This front power switch blanks/disables the touch screen without shutting down or re-booting the register.

(16) USE GRAPHIC TABLE MANAGEMENT

If Yes, Table Management is available. See “Table Management Program Guide” on page 160.

(17) NUMBER OF REGISTER THAT HOLDS THE DATATRAN

Enter the number of the ECR in the network where the DataTran is connected.

(18) MSR IS CONNECTED

Set MSR CONNECTED to DATATRAN if the MSR is connected to the DATATRAN; PDC if the MSR is connected to the PDC; REGISTER if the MSR is connected to the register (internal).

(19) PINPAD IS CONNECTED

Select DATATRAN or PDC.

(20) PINPAD KEY TYPE

Set the PIN encryption method: DUKPT or ROTATE KEY.

(21) TRACK# HOLDS DELIVERY TABLE

If using a delivery system, indicate the tracking file number that will be used to keep transactions input using the delivery function.

The following are used for sending reports via FTP:

# NETWORK SETTING?

Set to YES for FTP communications

AUTOMATICLLY GET IP ADDRESS? (DHCP)

Set to YES only if you want to get the OP address from the DHCP server. Consult your network administrator.

IP ADDRESS

Set only for IP polling.

SUBET MASK

Set only for IP polling.

GATEWAY

If connected by router, set to IP Address of Router.

DNS SERVERS#1/DNS SERVERS#2

If connected to Internet, obtain from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

PC CONNECTION TYPE

Select SERIAL or ETHERNET.

PC CONNECTION PORT NUMBER (2.02b or later)

Previously fixed at 8027, the port number is now configurable.

(22) USE MAGNETIC DALLAS KEY

Set to NO. This option is not currently available.

(23) DRAWER OPEN COUNT (1-5) (V2.01n or later)

Default is 1. This is the number of drawer open pulses sent to the drawer. This option only if you are experiencing intermittent cash drawer opening failure. (This feature requires version 1.08 kernel

(zimage). A full update must be performed.)

(24) DRAWER OPEN DELAY (100-1000 ms) (V2.01n or later)

Default is 100. This is the time delay between pulses, if multiple pulses are set on option #23. Set this option only if you are experiencing intermittent cash drawer opening failure. (This feature requires version 1.08 kernel (zimage). A full update must be performed.)

(25) DRAWER OPEN TIME (100-500 ms) (V2.01n or later)

Default is 200. This is the length of the drawer pulse. Set this option only if you are experiencing intermittent cash drawer opening failure. (This feature requires version 1.08 kernel (zimage). A full update must be performed.)

(26) STRONG PASSWORD (V3.00a or later)

If Yes, requires sign –in code and MCR sign on. Recommended for PABP (payment application best practices.

(27) SAVE EFT LOG FILE TO (V3.00g29 or later)

Choose SD, USB or NONE. Keep setting at NONE unless instructed by CRS support to collect a log file for troubleshooting purposes.

(28) SAVE PABP LOG FILE TO (V3.00g29 or later)

Choose SD or USB for integrated payment applications. This log is a required part of PABP and payment application validation. See the SPS-2000 Integrated Payment Operator’s and Programming Manual for more information about the PABP log file.

(29) DATATRAN TIMEOUT (30-240) (V3.00g29 or later)

For integrated payment applications, the recommended DATATRAN TIMEOUT setting is 240. When finalizing an integrated payment transaction, the time out count will display with the message

“WORKING”.
