8.8.2.3 IBM RCO for 4680/90 POS
PssPosService makes use of the IBM RCO (Retail Connectivity Option) product for the 4680/90
POS. Release 1 of PSS WaveWorks used IBM RCO release 2.4.1. This product supplies a
client access service that communicates with a Server application on the 4680/90 POS. For this
mechanism to work, the IBM POS must be running the adxsrvnl.286 application as a background
application. The client application nbqmain.exe that runs as a WindowsNT service is
automatically installed by the PSS installation procedure, but it must be configured by placing
configuration information into file nbqmain.cfg in the Pss\bin directory. This file is delivered
with a set of preconfigured values that are typical of a PSS/4690 POS installation, but may need
to be changed to allow PSS to communicate with the POS. See the IBM RCO User's Guide for
parameter values which can be placed in this file.
