Remarks on program function

The data for the RVM communication can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.

This device generally derived from the device TCP communikat. (P). The significant difference is the new attribute "Reset command" where a value can be set to be sent before the connection is done to the IP Address set in Device interfaces.

Note:
Prerequisite for the use of this device is, that the TCP Address is entered in the device interface (format host:port) an the type IP-Address or Shared IP-Address is used as device interface.

The default value fort he reset command is "reset" and will be use for Tomra devices. For this device the attribute portnumber must be set to 4242 and the attribute device name in device interface must be set to "host:4245" whereas host the content of the attribute Hostname is or at least refers to the same host. For example, the Tomra device with the IP-Address of 10.20.30.40 entered in etc/hosts as Tomradev, has in attribute "Hostname" the value "Tomradev", in attribute "Portnumber" 4242 and in device name of the device interface the value10.20.30.40:4245.

Remarks on data fields

The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.

As with nearly all other programs the following also applies here:

The entry mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking on the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.

Debug

Field with firmly defined selection options

Select one of the offered debug levels by clicking on this field and with a second click confirming the selection.

The system offers the following debug levels:

0 = no protocol of data communication in file "errlog"
1 =
2 =
3 = display of all communication data in file "errlog"

Note:
Only select a value higher than "0" for the debug level if a communication protocol is required for error analysis. The details are shown in file "errlog" in directory work of the appropriate system unit.

Usage

Entry range permitted: numeric 1 – 9

Host name

Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 80 pos.

Enter the name of the server in this field.

Example Tomra:
For example, the Tomra device with the IP-Address of 10.20.30.40 entered in etc/hosts as Tomradev, has in attribute "Hostname" the value "Tomradev", in attribute "Portnummer" 4242 and in device name of the device interface the value10.20.30.40:4245.

Portnumber

Entry range permitted: numeric 0 -65535

Example Tomra:

For this device the attribute port number must be set to 4242 and the attribute device name in device interface must be set to "host:4245" whereas host the content of the attribute Hostname is or at least refers to the same host. For example, the Tomra device with the IP-Address of 10.20.30.40 entered in etc/hosts as Tomradev, has in attribute "Hostname" the value "Tomradev", in attribute "Portnumber" 4242 and in device name of the device interface the value10.20.30.40:4245.
