Installing Retail POS on a network
For Retail POS to perform on a network correctly,  les
must be shared between computers. This is a task for an
expert. If you are an expert PC user then you will have no
problem de ning the network drives on each PC. If you
are not an expert PC user, ask your supplier to con gure
the network and software for you.
The following guidelines are for the network installer:
Important: You must install QuickBooks and POS
Administrator on the same machine. However, we
recommend that you install the Retail POS database
(named QBPOS.PDB) on a POS terminal.
Two terminals
Set up your network and decide which folder on 1.
the store (front of ce) PC will hold the Retail POS
database. On the back of ce PC map this folder as a
network drive.
Install QuickBooks and POS Administrator on the 2.
back of ce PC. However, store the Retail POS
database on the store (front of ce) PC in the pre-
determined folder. This allows you to turn off the
of ce computer without preventing the store PC’s
access to the database.
Install POS Terminal on the store (front of ce) PC.3.
Three terminals
Begin by setting up two terminals as described above.
For the third terminal:
Note: You can purchase additional POS Terminal
licences from your local retailer or Accredited
Professional Partner or simply call Reckon Customer
Service on 1300 784 253.
Map a drive to the location on the store (front of ce) 1.
PC that is storing the Retail POS database.
