Default Entity Name for Entity Type Customers is Customer. Yours is set to Customers. This is unrelated but just thought you might want to know that. Did you try setting a name for the popup and a color? Maybe set your search format too?
Yeah thats because I changed it just to see if it would do anything lol @Jesse
could you please give me some idea on what to put in there. For name I can name it whatever I want right? and for the color I can just put Green?
Yes. I have not used Caller-ID so I am not experienced with it just so you know I am going by logic of my background with Samba and how it generally works. So some of what I’m asking you to do is to work through it with you and maybe we can find a solution.
Yeah I appreciate that.
Since I showed you my putty string cant you see how my format is? Honestly I would think its very similar to other devices. Since its showing the phone number on samba I would think everything left to setup now is samba.
Caller Id is used by all popular POS systems here in US so they are definetaly the most reliable. I am hoping @emre can help us set this up so more people can buy these here in the US.
If you enter the wrong Caller ID Device on purpose and start SambaPOS do you get the CallerID error popup?
You mean something else instead of generic device?
@kendash
When I launch putty before samba (so com port is not accessible by samba) it shows the popup saying error com port…
You configured the Com Port yes but that still does not mean its configured to work with it it just knows its listening to it. Did you try Advanced Generic Modem?
BTW if the error popup displayed then Samba is working correctly and the popups are working correctly it more than likely is the device setup in local settings thats wrong. Or that specific modem is not compatible.
No I did not.
and yes I have confirmed with multiple ways that the popup works and I dont think it is samba.
It has to be something my settings. Maybe my match pattern.
Do you know how samba caller id module works? I am certain that samba is getting the serial string through the com port however its not using it properly.
It is probably your match pattern. I am trying to understand the logic of them and if I get it I will post some possibilities to try. But I am pretty sure : .{32}([^\s]+) is wrong.
Yeah same here I just have no idea of the logic. ;/
Appreciate your time and help. If you ever need help with camera integration id be happy to help you out in return. @kendash
I am pretty knowledgable with that aspect as well. Although most of my experience is with March systems and Verint.
Yeah I have the best solution out there. I tried geovision but it is simply too hard and annoying to opperate. My solution uses milestone which is super easy to install. @kendash
Also I have dealer access to license the software
We need to look at your Putty string and derive a Match based on its structure. I just need to figure out how the Match is written logically.
@emre is very busy making Samba amazing aka he is working on something big. He may respond but he may not. I am looking into it… just might take a bit.
PS luckily I got my new PSU in and I am back on my nice 3 monitor big screen setup 
I agree with you there i have 4 monitors and I cant stay without them. I got it setup with vmware workstation which is great.
I knew he was on something big because he was releasing multiple versions every month and now its been over a month since he has released a single one.
Im exciteddd!!!
BTW this is not directed at you in paticular @eddhasaj but more so at the entire community or anyone reading this and wondering the question Where has @emre been? I wish he was here to answer my questions.
SambaPOS grows the fastest and @emre can make amazing things faster when the community pitches in and contributes. So if anyone reading this has any ideas or simply thinks they may be able to help @eddhasaj then by all means please contribute and post something. The more people that contribute the faster SambaPOS grows. @emre not being as active on the forums means he is working extremely hard and it should be that way. What I am saying is the more that the community pitches in and contributes the less time @emre has to spend on here and the more time he has to work on SambaPOS making it awesome.
This also means that if more contribution comes in and more ideas get spawned on here then when @emre does sit down and read the forums he gets a larger pool of ideas on which direction to take SambaPOS. If he has to answer all these common questions and things that the community could be answering then its less time for him to make SambaPOS awesome.
Also for those experienced and those that do contribute often it is best to contribute in what interests you so we get more interesting ideas.
Anyway @eddhasaj sorry for the semi Hijack. I am still looking into this for you.
@Hasa Generic modem tested with modems that generates NMBR:xxx formatted data. I tried to open enough configuration to integrate other devices but without working physically with device it is a little hard to understand what the issue might be. Try these…
- Leave entity type name empty and don’t change singular name
CustomertoCustomersfor entity. - Don’t enter a baud rate to use default values. Generally port related settings are useful to override defaults.
-
.{32}([^\s]+)pattern seems file as it means (skip 32 chars and read until space). However device might not send data line by line so you need to ensure sambapos can read entire line at once. Try typingnew linekeyword as termination string. - If does not work you may also try
\s(\w{3}-\w{3}-\w{4})\spattern to extract 3-3-4 formatted phone number. - Try to handle
device event generatedrule and display a message box to understand if SambaPOS can read number from device. If it works but not display popup it may mean a entity configuration issue.

Yes these days I’m using my whole time for development and I hope until I’ll be able to have more time for community support it will just keep going on as @Jesse suggested. If you think I have to take specific actions for a better place for community we can talk about it under a separate topic so it will have more visibility.
