Then at the control POS in DOS carry out the following EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.WM when
the screen comes up you will see that two settings need setting PONUM=n where n is the port
that the Waitermate Home Base “dongle” is connected and also HBNUM=m where m is the
Homebase Number. This can be found on the underside of the Waitermate Home Base
Pyramid.

The only other set up required is servers. One Server is required for each Waitermate and it is
strongly advised that the clerks selected are not available directly on the POS either by Real
Key or Push Keys.

Before the Waitermate is programmed for the first time check the following

1.

Power on the Waitermate, at the bottom of the screen check that the following is seen

2.

If the above is OK touch the screen and check the following is displayed

It is important that the “S” is on the end of the Number

If either of the above are not satisfied the Waitermate will not Function. It will need returning
to be set-up correctly.

After setting and checking the above it is now possible to load a Waitermate Terminal. This is
done from the Waitermate Control POS. From the Manager Menu select Utilities and then
More.... If the Waitermate has been correctly set in RINCS.CFG an option will appear
“Waitermate Loader”. Select this. The application will be exited and a compiler routine will
be seen running on the POS, when this is finished you will be prompted to Switch the POS
Off and then ON again using the Power Switch, at this time an AT Keyboard must be plugged
into the POS

When the POS reboots a menu will be shown with the following options :-

1.

Program Waitermate - this is used to program a New Waitermate unit or if  Lists,
Keyboards or Product texts have been changed on the POS. The On-Screen Steps
should be followed.

2. 

Program Waitermate (With Default Calibration) - this is the same as above but it
also sets the default Keyboard Calibration on if the  Waitermate has had a bad
Calibration carried out. The default Calibration settings are sent to the Waitermate. It
