Adding a Workstation

1. Select the property, click Setup, and then click Workstations.
2. Insert a record for the workstation, enter the name, and then click OK.
3. Double-click the new workstation record.
4. On the General tab, enter information in the following fields:

   Table 7-1 General Workstation Settings

   Field	Description
   Type	Select the type of workstation from the drop-down list: 1 - Mobile MICROS: Mobile devices 2 - Workstation Client: Workstations, virtual machines, and Android tablets Select this option for the Oracle MICROS Workstation 6 Series and the Oracle MICROS Tablet 700 Series. 3 - POSAPI Client: Simphony Transaction Services 6 - MICROS Tablet Client: Oracle MICROS Tablet E-Series Select this option for the Oracle MICROS Tablet E-Series 11-inch.
   Language	Select the default language of the workstation. This is the language that appears on the workstation’s Sign On screen. If an employee has a different default language set, the employee sees their default language after signing in to the workstation.
   Resolution Cols	Enter the number of Resolution Columns for the workstation’s display. The default value is 0 (zero).
   Resolution Rows	Enter the number of Resolution Rows for the workstation’s display. The default value is 0 (zero).
   Log Verbosity	Select the logging verbosity for the workstation. Select 0 (zero) for minimal logging. Higher log verbosity provides more information in the log file, which might be helpful to you in troubleshooting issues.
   (Optional) Workstation Class	Select a Workstation Class to allow similar workstations to be grouped together and to share certain page configuration settings.
   Database Update Frequency	Enter the number of seconds for the workstation to receive changes. The default value is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). The value in this field overrides the Property Parameter’s Database Update Frequency setting.
   Check Inactivity Timeout	Enter the number of seconds before the workstation shows the message (Do you need more time?), prompting the workstation operator to cancel the transaction. When you enter 0 (zero), the message does not appear. When you select Enable Follow Me from the RVC Parameters module, the check is automatically suspended rather than canceled.
   Check Inactivity Dialog Timeout	Enter the number of seconds that the workstation shows the Inactivity dialog before automatically canceling the transaction. This field is unavailable when you set the Check Inactivity Timeout value to 0 (zero).
   Report Timeout	Enter the number of seconds the workstation waits for a response before showing a communication failure notice.
   Address / Host Name	Enter the IP address or host name of the Oracle Hospitality Simphony Service Host where the workstation application runs.
   Subnet Mask	Enter the subnet mask of the Service Host where the workstation application runs.
   Default Gateway	Enter the default gateway of the Service Host where the workstation application runs.
   Is Connectionless	Select this option to have the Service Host open and close a new connection for each web service call. This prevents the workstation from reaching the maximum number of web connections allowed, although the connection becomes slightly slower.
   Is Windows Service	Select this option to allow the Service Host to start as a Windows service. The Service Host service starts on Microsoft Windows startup with other Microsoft Windows services. The POS client starts only when the workstation operator signs on to the operating system. If you select this option, you need to change the ports of the services being run (for example, Check and Posting Service (CAPS) and Oracle Hospitality Simphony Kitchen Display System (KDS) Controller) in addition to the POS client. Use the EMC modules to change the ports. If a non-POS client is required to run on the Service Host, it must run on a different port than the workstation port. You can also set the Service Host to run as a Microsoft Windows service from the Service Host module (rather than from the Workstations module). If you set this option in the Service Host module, you do not need to change the ports of the services being run as the device is not intended to run the POS client.

5. Click the Revenue Centers tab.
6. Select the revenue centers for the workstation. You must select at least one revenue center.
7. Click Save.
