The configuration parameters for each Point of Service terminal are stored in the central LDAP directory on the Administration Server. Every Point of Service terminal has its own Workstation object (scWorkstation) in the LDAP tree. The Workstation object is automatically created when a Point of Service terminal registers on the Branch Server. posldap2crconfig.pl uses information from the Hardware Reference object (scCashRegister) and Image Reference object (scPosImage) to create the Workstation object. For more information on this process, see Section 3.5.3, The hwtype.MAC_address File.
IMPORTANT:You must create the scCashRegister and scPosImage objects in LDAP before booting the Point of Service terminals. Otherwise, posldap2crconfig.pl cannot create the terminals' associated scWorkstation object. For information on this procedure, see Section 6.4.1, Adding an scCashRegister Object and Section 6.5.1, Adding an scPosImage Object.
