10. System Administration Interface
The System Administration Interface provides browser-based access into the data contained in
the system database, as well as various system control functions. The purpose is to allow store
personnel to manage the system, obtain information, and provide updates to the information.
The available data concerns almost every facet of the system, including:
• Customer current and historical data
• Messaging
• Hardware configuration
• Item data and marketing
• Reports
• System Status
• System Configuration
10.1 Configuring the Browser Software
Install the desired browser software on the Service Terminal. The recommended browser
software packages are:
• Netscape Navigator (Netscape Communications Corporation), v4.08 or greater
• Microsoft Internet Explorer (Microsoft Corporation), v5.0 or greater
Create a shortcut icon on the desktop for the browser, for ease of access by store personnel.
Set the PSS Administration Main Menu screen as the “HOME” page of your browser software.
The home page will then be automatically displayed when the browser software is started. The
path to the main menu is: http://localhost/pssinterface/administer.asp, where localhost is either
the literal text string ‘localhost’ or the name or IP address of the Service Terminal computer
itself.
10.2 Establish User Accounts on the Service Terminal
A browser screen is provided to create employees accounts and control employee access to the
Service Terminal. To access the screen, from the PSS Main Menu, select System / Settings /
Configuration / Administration Users. The Administration Users screen, which is ordered
alphabetically by user names, appears. Related user data includes:
• Full name of the user.
