BIOS setup
BIOS setup can be used to restore or reset the configuration parameters
of your BEETLE POS system. The features of your POS system are
displayed on the configuration sticker, which is located on or inside your
BEETLE. A sample sticker is shown on the last page of this chapter.
SETUP contains important basic settings which are necessary to enable
your POS system to operate correctly. These settings include, for
example, 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:
Press key #2 while BIOS test is running
If you are using a standard PC keyboard, press Ctrl, Alt and ESC
simultaneously during the runup phase.
SETUP is called up if the keyswitch on the POS keyboard is set to
position 4 resp.T during the runup phase.
In case of a faulty configuration you should always run the setup
program to make sure that the POS system works correctly.
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
output to the monitor.
If no monitor is connected, although an SVGA card is installed,
then the system messages are not visible.
