Really what is the correct way to program second station on SAMBAPOS?

Version 4 V4 Question
2

This depends on how that second station is setup. Are you using SQL Express, Local DB, CE? Your second station is it a regular PC or a Tablet?

If its a regular PC with SambaPOS4 installed you should be using SQL Express it is much easier to handle multiple terminals and you get more flexibility and control of your system.

If using SQL Express here are the steps:

  1. Navigate to Manage > Settings > Local Settings > General set your connection string and Message server settings (If your using Message server).

  2. Navigate to Manage > Settings > Terminals and add in the names of each terminal I recommend Server and Terminal 1 but you can name them whatever you want. Server is there already by default.

  3. Navigate back to Manage > Settings > Local Settings > General for each terminal and set the Terminal name for that terminal so for example if your physically on the Server terminal it should be set to Server. If your physically on Terminal 1 then set it to Terminal 1 which you just made in step 2.

That is pretty much it. As usual you should log out and log back in to each terminal.
