4.25 Configure the NBQMAIN Service (IBM 4690 POS Only)
If you chose the IBM4690 POS as your Point of Sale system, NBQMAIN service, which
is part of IBM’s Retail Connectivity Option(RCO), is a critical link between the PSS
system and the POS. The NBQMAIN service should be configured to startup
automatically when WindowsNT starts up. It is NOT controlled by the WaveWorks
System Controller. This section explains how to set up the service to automatically start
and how to configure the service.
You will need to make the NBQMAIN service auto-start at bootup. Go to
StartSettingsControl PanelServices and click on the “nbqmain” entry in the list.
Now click on the “Startup…” button (NOT the “Start” button). Select the Automatic
startup option and click on the OK button. Close the Services window.
The startup parameters, such as the POS controller name, LANA number and heartbeat
interval are contained in the NBQMAIN.CFG file in the PSS\Bin folder. You will need
to edit the NBQMAIN.CFG file to set these parameters to match your specific
installation. Default values are provided in the file.
The most likely parameter to be modified is the LANA number, which is specified with
the –a switch in the NBQMAIN parameters list. This number identifies which netbios
port to use for communication to the IBM4690 POS. The correct value for this parameter
is determined as follows:
From the Windows NT Start button follow the path
StartSettingsControlPanelNetwork.
Select the Services tab, then double-click the NetBIOS Interface
Note the lana number for the “Nbf” entry for the network card connected to the POS
network.
For more information on configuring parameters for the NBQMAIN service, start a DOS
command prompt session, set your path to C:\Pss\Bin and type the command:
nbqmain -?
