Beginning with Simphony version 2.9.1, KDS Displays must have an authenticated identity. If you are using KDS environments with Simphony versions 2.9 and earlier, you must perform CAL authentication before upgrading to Simphony version 2.9.1. You must enter your logon credentials during the initial authentication process.
Connect a USB keyboard to the KDS Display.
Assign the employee privilege to download software, install and authenticate clients and Service Hosts using CAL. Beginning with Simphony version 2.9.1 (which includes CAL version 139), users must have the employee privilege assigned to the appropriate role to successfully authenticate workstations, Android devices, and Kitchen Display Systems (KDS). EMC users do not automatically acquire this privilege during an upgrade to version 2.9.1. After installing or upgrading to Simphony version 2.9.1, you must assign the privilege to a user’s role. When the Role option is set, employees can use their EMC logon credentials when CAL’ing devices. See Allowing Employees to Install and Authenticate POS Clients and Service Hosts for instructions to assign the privilege.
Set the CAL deployment schedule. See Configuring the Deployment Schedule to Install CAL on KDS for instructions.
