BIOS Setup
BIOS Setup
In Setup, important basic settings are made that are necessary for the
correct operation of your POS system. These settings include, for
example, the date and time, the assignment of a specific drive name (A: or
B:) to the BEETLE card or parameters for the hard disk.
You have several options for calling up Setup:
■
If you are using a standard PC keyboard, press Ctrl, Alt and ESC
simultaneously during the runup phase.
■
Setup is called up if the keyswitch on the POS keyboard is set to
position 4 during the runup phase.
■
If the configuration is errored, you can decide whether the system
should ignore the error or should call up Setup.
The default output medium for the BEETLE POS system is the 4-line,
20-column cashier display. If a VGA monitor is connected, information is
output to the monitor.
The system messages are not dispayed if there is no monitor
connected in spite of the fact that a VGA board has been
plugged in.
If there is no VGA card, you have to set the display entry to “MONO” or
“OPERATOR” (systems with 80486DX2/66 processor or upper versions)
so that the outputs can be seen on the connected cashier display.
The entries in the menus below are intended to serve as examples. If you
are uncertain of any information, consult the configuration label. You will
find an illustration of the label on page GB-97.
