To further enhance security and improve general functionality a new method of

Clerk Logon has been implemented. It is possible to Log the Clerk onto the system

using a swipe card.

1.

To allow this feature a new line has been added into S2001.INI :-

REM V4.5***************MAGNETIC CARD FOR CLERK SET**********************

REM TO ALLOW THE LOGGING ON OF A CLERK USING A MAGNETIC CARD
REM REMOVE THE # STATEMENT BELOW

REM WHERE ABC=CARD START NUMBER AND D=NO OF DIGITS FOR THE CLERK NUMBER
REM EXAMPLE CARD NUMBER 584001 WOULD SET AS 584%3

REM TO SET AUTOMATIC TIMEOUT AFTER NON OPERATION # BELOW AND
REM SET n=TIMEOUT PERIOD IN secs

# SERVERTIMEOUT=10

REM *******************MAGNETIC CARD FOR CLERK END**********************

SERVERSWIPE

This setting allows greater flexibilty with the card types used

and enabled every site to have different settings thus enhancing security. To allow
the card to be used remove the # to SERVERSWIPE and the card numbering

convention.

ABC

Individual site ID e.g 584

%n

No of Digits to represent the Clerk Number e.g %3

This would mean that if we required 5 clerks with the above settings the cards

would be coded as :-

584001

584002

584003

584004
584005

and the RINCS Setting would be

SERVERSWIPE=584%3

It can be possible for clerks using either Swipe or Push Key Logon to leave a

machine with themselves Logged On, this means they cannot access another

machine without returning to the logged on machine to log themselves off. It is now
possible to set a preset time in seconds that the clerk will Log Off automatically.

1. 

A new setting has been introduced in S2001.INI that allows the setting of the

timeout period in secs to log the clerk off.

REM V4.5***************MAGNETIC CARD FOR CLERK SET**********************

REM TO ALLOW THE LOGGING ON OF A CLERK USING A MAGNETIC CARD
REM REMOVE THE # STATEMENT BELOW

# SERVERSWIPE=ABC%D

REM WHERE ABC=CARD START NUMBER AND D=NO OF DIGITS FOR THE CLERK NUMBER

REM TO SET AUTOMATIC TIMEOUT AFTER NON OPERATION # BELOW AND
REM SET n=TIMEOUT PERIOD IN secs

In order to allow the continued functional improvements available on the Sharp

Venta System it will now possible to licence specific functions and Interfaces at a

premium.

 When a particular feature has been purchased a number can be added to the

S2001REG.TXT registration file which will allow each individual POS to operate the
new function. The options can be set according to the Options Manual.

It has become a requirement in the restaurant market to allow operators to see

quickly the status of each table, if it open, closed or if the bill has been printed

allowing operators to make a visible decision on how long tables will be open for. It
also displays the Table Name and last server number. If the Table in question is

selected it will be opened ready for more items to be ordered. On a network system

the tables status is transferred from each machine to all other machines in the
system.

A number of new settings have been introduced in S2001.INI to allow this feature to

be configured along with a new function key (Function 82 – ActiveTables) allowed in

Function Control.

1.

A new function (Function 82 - ActiveTables). This function can be used like
