1 Introduction: Reliable Network Data Flow
An effective network is essential for the success of any Point-of-Sale (POS) site, regardless of size. Reliable communication must be maintained between the data center hosting the Simphony servers, the POS client hardware, all networked devices, and shared services, such as the Check and Posting Service (CAPS).
Restaurants, casinos, hotels, stadiums, and cruise ships have varying network requirements, including wired, wireless, and hybrid setups, as well as Simphony enterprise servers hosted on-site or in the cloud. This document provides network installation guidance to help ensure an efficient and effective site network.
