Hardware Devices

Hardware Device Maintenance allows you to define the APOS devices on your network. You must specify the device type and communication parameters for each APOS device you wish to connect to. This maintenance window will also allow you to define the specific hardware linked to each device.

Maintenance Grid

The grid area displays the currently defined APOS devices. All fields are display-only and all modifications to devices must be done by selecting the item row and modifying the fields in the data entry area. Once the focus is within the grid area, you may use the arrow-up and arrow-down keys to navigate through each of the rows. All defined values for the selected item will be displayed dynamically in the data entry area.

	Item Row Maintenance
	Right clicking on any of the row numbers will display a pop-up menu that will allow you Delete, Insert or Duplicate a row. Rows may also be deleted, inserted or duplicated by using the delete, insert or duplicate buttons in the buttons area.

	Column Sort
	Clicking on a column header will sort the rows either in ascending or descending order, A small arrow at the top of the column will point up for ascending or down for descending order.

Data Entry

The data entry area dynamically displays the currently selected APOS device.

	Register Id
	Enter a unique integer value identifying each APOS device. Required field. Duplicates not allowed. The register Id needs to match the register number defined in Option Setting 14 on the APOS device. Please note that the APOS must be restarted before changes made to the register Id on GoPOS will take effect.

Device IP

Enter the TCPIP of the device. The IP along with the Port will be used to connect to your APOS device when sending and receiving project data. It is best practise to use fixed sequential IPs when setting up the APOS devices on your network. The IP entered here needs to match the IP defined on the APOS device. See APOS help documentation on how to setup your APOS device IP through Wifi or Ethernet.

	Port
	Enter the Port number of the device on your network. The default value for the Port Number will be taken from Setting35 - "TCP Port for Communication". The port entered here needs to match the port defined in Option Setting 35 on the APOS device. Please note that the APOS must be restarted before changes made to the port on GoPOS will take effect.

	Database Version
	The current database version of the connected APOS device will be displayed. When sending and receiving programs, PcProg's database version displayed in the Help/About box, must be greater than or equal to the GoPOS database version of the connected device.

	Insert Hardware
	Click on this button to insert a new row at the end of the list. This will allow you to add and define a new hardware entry for the current device. Rows may also be inserted by right clicking on the device hardware row number and selecting Insert from the pop-up menu.

	Delete Hardware
	Click on this button to delete the currently selected device hardware row. Rows may also be deleted by right clicking on the device hardware row number and selecting Delete from the pop-up menu.

	Hardware Maintenance
	Clicking on the Hardware Maintenance button will give you quick access to the Hardware Maintenance Module. This module will allow you to maintain the Hardware definitions for all your APOS devices. This Hardware can then be linked to one or more of the appropriate type of APOS device defined in your network. Please note that hardware entries are specific to certain types of APOS devices.

	Line Number
	Right clicking on any of the device hardware row numbers will display a pop-up menu that will allow you Delete or Insert a row. Rows may also be deleted or inserted by using the delete or insert row buttons.

Hardware

Double Click in the Hardware column to select a hardware entry from the list of defined Hardware. Double clicking on any other column of the selected row will display the Hardware Maintenance screen, allowing you to make changes to the Hardware definitions.

Please note that hardware entries are specific to certain types of APOS devices. For example, if defined, an "Internal Screen" customer display will be included in the Hardware drop down list only if the current device is an AP05 or AP06. All other device types will have a different internal customer display size or as in the case of the AP05 Light, no internal customer display.

Delete

Click on this button to delete the currently selected APOS device.

Please note that once a device has been deleted, PcProg will no longer be able to send projects to the device and will no longer be able to receive projects from the device.

Click on this button to close the window. If any changes have been made you will be prompted to save the changes before closing the window.

	Yes Button
	Click on Yes to save changes and close the window. All validation errors must be corrected before saving your changes.

	No Button
	Click on No to discard all changes made and close the window.

	Cancel Button
	Click on Cancel to abort the close and return to the maintenance screen.

Connect

Once you have defined the communication parameters for your APOS device, selecting the device and clicking on the Connect button will attempt to connect to the specified register using the defined device IP and Port.

If successful, a message will be displayed and the device Software Version, Database Version and Serial Number will be updated.

Please note that if the connected device does not match the defined APOS type, Serial Number or Register Id, a warning message will be displayed.

When sending Hardware and Keyboard definitions, it is extremely important that the device type defined in PcProg match the actual type of the connected APOS. The device type determines which keyboards and hardware entries will be enabled on each of your APOS devices.

For Inter Register Communication (IRC) as well as for report and stock downloads, it is important that each APOS have it's own unique sequential Register Id and device IP. Please see Setting 46, Setting 68 and Setting 69 for additional instructions on how to setup inter-register communications.
