The Properties panel is composed of the following fields:

  • Parent device is the parent device loader or the parent device. This is a required field.

    It determines the device loader or device to which the current device connects.

    By default, the field displays the device loader or device to which the device selected in the Devices directory is connected.

    You can select a device in the Select device window.

  • Name indicates the name of the device. This is a required field.

    Device names are used for identifying devices on POS terminals, as well for monitoring, carrying out video surveillance, assigning jobs to devices, and viewing timed service devices job logs.

  • Description is a brief text description of the device.

    Any additional information can be entered in this field.

  • Port is the number of the port used to control the device. This is a required field for root devices (i.e., devices that have a loader as their parent device).

    Here you can enter the TCP/IP port number used to access this device. The value must be unique among devices connected to this loader.

  • Software module is the software module used to control the device. This is a required field.

    Please select a module in the Select software module window.

  • Inactive shows that the device is disabled. This is a required field.

    You can choose between: Yes and No. Select Yes if the device is temporarily disabled in this configuration, but its attributes and parameters are stored in the directory.

  • Language pack is the language pack used by the device.

    Select a language pack in the Select language pack window.

    The language pack determines the languages that can be used in dialogs when you operate the device, as well as those that can be used to create documentation (e.g. messages, reports, etc.).
