Multi-Lane Setup Utility

The MPOSSetupConsoleApp.exe is a command-line utility used to configure lanes for a headless POS system (HPOS).

The follow applications are used in this task.

To configure lanes using the utility, follow these steps:

1. From the list of local services, right-click NCR AS Pos Client Connection Manager, and then select Stop.
2. Open a Command Prompt window.
3. At the command prompt, go to the directory where the MPOSSetupConsoleApp.exe application is saved.
4. Enter the following command:

   MPOSSetupConsoleApp.exe [computer name or IP address of the HPOS] [comma-separated list of lanes to configure]

   The examples below show how the command can be written in different ways.

   Example

   MPOSSetupConsoleApp.exe AS-IP-POS Lane1,Lane2,Lane3

   Example

   MPOSSetupConsoleApp.exe AS-IP-POS "Lane1, Lane2, Lane3"

   where:

   Lane name—identifies the lane using an alphanumeric value unique to each lane. The list of lanes to configure are comma-separated. Add more lanes as necessary.

   On the command line, a message about the successful setup of the multiple lane instances is displayed. The command also creates corresponding folders for the configured lanes in the Configuration folder in the POS folder location.

   Note

   The computer name or IP address where the POS is installed should have an active network connection.

   • From the list of local services, right-click NCR AS Pos Client Connection Manager, and then select Start.
   • On the command line, enter the following command:

     "[Location of the POS folder]\Ncr.As.PosClientConnectionManager.exe" -c

     Example

     "%PROGRAMFILES%\NCR\AdvancedStore\POS\Ncr.As.PosClientConnectionManager.exe" -c

   2. Access the Client Connection Manager (CMM) page. On the web browser, go to the following URL:

      http://[Machine name or the IP address of the HPOS]:[port number]/CCM/Status.html

   Example

   http://192.168.154.128:18080/CCM/Status.html

   The following page is displayed.

   

2. Validate the POS application on each configured POS lane.
   1. Open a web browser.
   2. Access the page for each configured lane. On the web browser, go to the following URL:

      http://[Machine name or the IP address of the HPOS]/CCM/poshtmlui/index.html?config=[Lane name]

   Example

   http://192.168.154.128/CCM/poshtmlui/index.html?config=Lane1

   The browser displays the POS application.
