BIOS setup
BIOS setup can be used to restore or reset the configuration parameters
of your BEETLE POS terminal system. The features of your POS terminal
system are displayed on the configuration label, which is located on the
bottom your BEETLE. A sample label is shown on Page GB - 76.
SETUP contains important basic settings which are necessary to enable
your POS system to operate correctly. These settings include, for examp-
le, the date and time, the assignment of a specific logical drive name (A:
or B:) to the BEETLE card or the floppy disk as well as 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 si-
multaneously during the runup phase.
■
SETUP is called up if the keyswitch on the POS keyboard is set to po-
sition 4 during the runup phase.
■
If the configuration is incorrect, you can decide whether to ignore the
error or call the setup program.
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 out-
put to the monitor.
If no monitor is connected, the system messages are not displayed even if
a VGA card is installed.
If there is no VGA card, the display entry must be set to “MONO” or “OPE-
RATOR” (Processor 80486DX/66 or higher) so that the messages appear
on the connected cashier display.
