Posted by Ian Yorke on January 4, 2009, 5:59 pm Please log in for more thread options HI everyone your assistange willl me greatly appreciated. This is a new setup of RMS 2.0 there are 3 cashiers and a server (which also has pos) do i have to set the offline database location to each cashiers computer or do i use the offline database i set up on the server thanks your assisistance is appreciated -- Thanks Ian Posted by Marc on January 4, 2009, 8:06 pm Please log in for more thread options Ian, The offline database is a backup system so you can continue to do business in case the network or server goes down. I install the server software and create an offline database on each register so they can run independently if necessary. The offline database on the server is not really necessary. Just to point out the usefulness of this system, I was on vacation, when of course someone crashed the network. They were able to continue doing business as usual until they got hold of me and I was able to walk someone through getting the network back up. If you are using internet credit card authorization, consider running a backup authorization system too, either dial-up credit card terminals, or a phone line/modem backup connection for your PC's in case your DSL or Cable goes down. It's a little extra setup work, but peace of mind and no lost business!
