POS Client Set Up

For the number of Clients (“NumClients”) specified in the eftlinkconfig.properties file, ensure that you have a pos<n>.description key and that its value is set to your preferred descriptive choice. These are the names that will be shown in the EFTLink log to ease tracking/debugging.

To do this, please editeftlinkconfig.properties within the EFTLink installation root.

For example,

NumClients = 10

pos1.description = Menswear-suits – register 1

pos2.description = Menswear-suits – register 2

…

pos10.description = Menswear-suits – register 10

Each POS must use a unique pair of ports for its connection to EFTLink. These do not need to be further defined within EftlinkConfig.properties but the ports numbers and EFTLink Server system IP must be set on each POS. The numbering system is based on EFTLink base address (default 10100, configurable by the ServerChannel0 property) plus 10 x the POS number. Two sequential ports are needed, one for each of channel 0 and 1.

For example,

POS1 - ServerChannel0 = 10110, ServerChannel1 = 10111

POS2 - ServerChannel0 = 10120, ServerChannel1 = 10121

POS3 - ServerChannel0 = 10130, ServerChannel1 = 10131

...

POS9 - ServerChannel0 = 10190, ServerChannel1 = 10191

POS10 - ServerChannel0 = 10200, ServerChannel1 = 10201

If this range of ports is not available, the base number can be changed via the ServerChannel0 setting. All POSs must then be changed to match.
