In order to support a greater number of terminals the software has been expanded from 99 to
254 Terminal Support.

1.

All references in FM for Terminal Number have expanded to 3 digits  i.e Product File.
Till Parameters, Printer Configuration etc. In this functionality it is now possible to
have 254 machines on the same network with as many Master Terminals as is
required. To realise this a New setting has been put into RINCS.CFG as shown below
:-

REM ********************TERMINAL NUMBER SETTING*************************

REM THE VARIABLE BELOW REFERS TO THE LOWEST TILL ON THIS SYSTEM. SET IN
REM SYSTEM PARAMETERS THE NUMBER OF TILLS EQUAL TO THE EXACT NUMBER OF TILLS
REM BEING USED ON THIS SYSTEM. THIS FUNCTION ALLOWS BETTER CONTROL FOR MORE
REM THAN ONE MASTER ON  A SYSTEM. (i.e TILL_LO=100 AND NUMBER OF TILLS = 2
REM MEANS THAT ONLY TILLS 100 & 101 ARE ACTIVE ON THIS SYSTEM

TILL_LO=1
node=1 

TILL_LO=

This setting informs the System the lowest Terminal Number on the System
(normally=1), the other setting that is important is the “No of Tills” setting in
System Parameters. This should be set to the exact Number of tills on the
system.

Then when in operation if TILL_LO=1 and “No of Tills” is 3 The Master on End of Day will
only look at Till 1,2 & 3 if Till Parameters for anymore Terminals are set the Master will
ignore them.

On the Same Network are 10 Machines 4 in one system and 6 in the other

TILL_LO=1

TILL_LO=5

No of Tills=4

No of Tills=6

Master Number 1

Master Number 5

Master will Access Till 1,2,3 & 4

Master will Access Till 5,6,7,8,9 & 10

Till parameters on all machines on both Systems could be set for 10 Terminals
