To set the Waitermate Control  POS it is only necessary to enable it in C:\RINCS.CFG as
follows :-

[GCNET]

REM V4********************WAITERMATE PROGRAMMING START******************

REM ============PORT SETTING============

REM To set the Port that the Waitermate Base Station is connected to

REM remove the REM line below and set n= Com Port Number

REM ======WAITERMATE PRINT STATION======

REM To set which POS Terminal to send Waitermate Receipts and Bills

REM remove the REM statement below and set n= POS Terminal Number and

REM x= to the Waitermate Number (e.g To set Waitermate 1 to print at POS

REM Terminal 3 WMPRINT1=3)

REM *********************WAITERMATE PROGRAMMING END*********************

The two settings are :-

Waitermate=n Where n is the Serial port that the Waitermate Home Base is connected (N.B This
should be Port 1 or 2)

WMPRINTx=n Where x is the Waitermate Number and n is the POS Terminal Number that sets the
Receipt/Bill printer that will be used to print from the Waitermate set in x. This is to enable different
Waitermates to print at different machines, e.g if WMPRINT2=4 was set, Waitermate 2 would print
on the Receipt/Bill printer that was set on Terminal 4 Till parameters.

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 

A

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.
