Chapter 1. Common configuration procedures This chapter presents configuration procedures that are common to all supported Linux operating systems, for the indicated IBM Point of Sale hardware devices. RS-232 serial port configuration You can automatically configure the RS-232 ports on a system using the posIBM_setserial utility. On supported systems, the configuration matches port (tty) assignments to the labeled alphabetical order. You can download the utility at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=pos1R4000245. The posIBM_setserial utility only supports these IBM POS and AnyPlace Kiosk systems certified for SLES 11, SLED 11, and SLEPOS 11: v IBM 4694-207/247/307/347 v IBM AnyPlace Kiosk 4836-132(12")/135(15")/13V(volume control) v IBM AnyPlace Kiosk 4838-xxx/132 (12")/135 (15")/13V (volume control)/137/1Z7 (E37/EZ7 preload)/3yz (y=1 [depot] or 3 [onsite], z=0 [no preload] or E [preload]) v IBM SurePOS 100 4613-108(mono)/118 (color) v IBM SurePOS 300 4810-32H/33H/340 (E40 preload) v IBM SurePOS 300 4910-E4D/E4F/E4S/E4T v IBM SurePOS 500 4840-563/573 v IBM SurePOS 500 4846-565/545 (E65/E45 preload) v IBM SurePOS 500 4851-514 v IBM SurePOS 500 4951-514 (Express) v IBM SurePOS 700 4800-721/722/723/741/742/743/781/782/783/C41/C42/C43 SLED 11 and SLES 11 installation procedures The posIBM_setserial utility comes in an RPM Package Manager (RPM) package and follows the normal RPM installation procedure: 1.

You can automatically configure the RS-232 ports on a system using the posIBM_setserial utility. On
supported systems, the configuration matches port (tty) assignments to the labeled alphabetical order.
The posIBM_setserial utility only supports these IBM POS and AnyPlace Kiosk systems certified for SLES
11, SLED 11, and SLEPOS 11:
v
IBM 4694-207/247/307/347
v
IBM AnyPlace Kiosk 4836-132(12")/135(15")/13V(volume control)
v
