The following program description deals with:
With this program you can maintain the data for the interface type, i.e. insert new records, edit and delete the existing ones. You can also display the data on the screen for enquiry only.
For each device connected to a system unit, an interface has to be defined in order to communicate with the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. With this program, only the interface type is defined. The actual assignment of the interface to a specific device is achieved using the application program Devices.
This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.
Just like in almost any other program:
Valid input range: numeric, 1 - 9999
In the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program a series of device interfaces is offered in the standard version. These support the appropirate interfaces in accordance with the hardware installed. A system unit can be extended by another interface by the use of up to 2 POS cards.

This is the number of the interface type to be defined in the system.
To add a new record, enter an unused number in the Key Fields.
For changes or deletions, the records can be retrieved and displayed on the screen by entering the numbers in the key fields. If you do not know the numbers, you can also select the data record via the search function.

Field with firmly defined selection options
Select one of the offered interface types by clicking on this field and with a second click confirming the selection.
The system offers the following types:
By default, all new attributes are empty. So, communication takes place as follows:
The MAC address (physical address of the network card) of an Epson printer with UB-E01 can be ascertained with the help of the printer self-test (depress feed keys during switch on). The IP address can be set as per the Epson documentation with command "arp" and "ping".
For example, the following interface can be programmed for an Epson printer with IP address 132.150.120.17 :
If the type is "IP address", the interface is only provided for use by a processing unit (e.g. oscardev).
If it is type "Shared IP address", the interface can be used for several printers on several processing units. It is, of course, always the same printer and this interface should always be used for the same type of printer. The printer is then controlled as the remote printers have been in the past; the only difference is that no processing unit of type "oscardev" wil be required. Consequently, there is no more dependency on another system unit which is configured on the processing unit "oscardev".
This attribute is only available when an SSL/TLS client-type device is selected.
Folder that contains one or more certificates in PEM format, to identify against the server and they can be used to authenticate of the server.
This attribute is only available when an SSL/TLS client-type device is selected.
File that contains certificates in PEM format which are used to authenticate of the server during the SSL connection.
This attribute is only available when an SSL/TLS client-type device is selected.
File in PEM format that contains the private key to use for encryption.
This attribute is only available when an SSL/TLS client-type device is selected.
For the private-key file suitable password, if the password has been assigned.
This attribute is only available when an SSL/TLS client-type device is selected.
Contains the to use cipher list (E.g. aRSA+DES:@STRENGTH). Format and possible values are described in the OpenSSL-specification and should be used according to the specifications of the server.
This attribute is only available when an SSL/TLS client-type device is selected.
Specifies whether the private key file contains a single certificate or a certificate chain.
This attribute is only available when an SSL/TLS client-type device is selected.
Specifies whether temporary RSA key should be used during the data transmission.
