Data Management and Peripheral Configuration

The configuration documentation includes the following topics:

Peripheral Creation

To start, create each peripheral device:

From the Portal, navigate to Data Management→Ordering Settings→Hardware→Peripherals.
From Peripherals, select New Peripheral.
From Create Peripheral, select an option for each:
From Create Peripheral, select Continue.
The Peripheral Configuration and Connection Configuration modals are activated. Select the fields for each listed in the corresponding topics.

Create Peripheral Fields

The Create Peripheral fields names and descriptions are listed in the table below.

Field Name	Description
Peripheral Type	The type of hardware such as printer or cash drawer
Peripheral Schema	For some types, this is similar to a sub-type. Select the best match.
Connection Type	This field should be set to OPOS

Peripheral Configuration

The Peripheral Configuration modal is shown below. Select an option for each field.

Peripheral Configuration Fields

The Peripheral Configuration field names and descriptions are listed in the table below.

Field Name	Description
Peripheral Name	The descriptive name displayed at the point of sale (POS) device. It is also displayed when selecting this printer for specific terminals. Note This is not the logical device name (LDN).
Printer Type	The possible values are: Receipt Printer Kitchen Printer
Vendor	The brand of the device such as Epson or Logic Controls
Model	This field should match the device being used
Cutting Option	The possible values are: Full Cut Partial Cut Tear Bar
Label Printer	Set the toggle to Yes to enable the label printer

Connection Configuration

The Connection Configuration modal is shown below. Select an option for each field. Complete these steps for each device.

Connection Configuration Fields

The Connection Configuration field names and descriptions are listed in the table below.

Field Name	Description
Connection Type	OPOS should be selected for this field, which is automatically entered
Adapter Type	The Device Bridge type, which is automatically entered
Logical Name	Use the LDN noted when the device was set up in OPOS
Host Name	The network address where the OPOS service is installed. The Hostname or IP, often localhost (127.0.0.1).
Port	This field is unique for each device on a single terminal. The number is greater than 1024, and printers usually start at 9001.
Log Level	The default value is `Info`. Additional possible values include the following: `Fatal` `Error` `Warn` `Trace` `None`
Transfer Protocol	The default value is `HTTPS`
Startup Delay	The default value is `10`. The value can be edited as needed, but the edited value will become the value for all associated sites.

Terminal Configuration

After each device is set up, specify the device to be used for each terminal:

From the Portal, navigate to Data Management→Ordering Settings→Hardware→Terminals.
From Terminals, select Peripherals in the left pane.

The terminal's configuration can be unique for each store or the default configuration can be used. A terminal's configuration is downloaded from Data Management when the Shell loads.
